Show TEN DOZEI OF FRESH EGGS FOR (EMM BABIES "Where are the babies?" said Frank M. Drlggs, chairman of the baby show for Ogden's fifth annual Harvest Har-vest Festival and Fashion Show this morning. "We have sent out notices to 1200 mothers of babies born in Ogden during the past .two years. So far it looks like over ,500 babies would be entered, a number of them from outside cities and towns and the rural districts, but there ought to be more." The committee suggests that if any mother has not entered her baby in the contest she is requested re-quested to telephone to No. 5SS and make the entry immediately. As there will be prizes for each and every ev-ery baby, besides more than 100 competitive com-petitive prizes, the committee hopes that the number for the show will be increased to 700 or more. A list of the special prizes is now being compiled, many being added to the list already published. These In elude awards for the best Putch, Japanese, German, colored, red-headed and 'real American" babies. Ben F. Redman of Salt Lake, who has given prizes each year for the red-headed babies, has renewed his offer this year, writing the following letter to -Chairman Driggs: "According to my usual custom, since the inauguration of the Fashion Show, I desire to again offer prizes for red-headed babies as follows; For the best looking girl baby with the reddest hair, a $5.00 gold piece, and for a pair of twin boys with real red hair, $10.00. In using the term 'red,' no imitation goes, but it must be a real honest-to-goodness RED, with capital letters. Hoping the show will be up to standard, I am, Respectfully yours, "BEN F. REDMAN." P. K. Smith made the offer today of 10 dozen fresh eggs as the prize for the prettiest German baby. W. E. Zuppan offered a prize of $5.00 for the best "real American" baby under two years of age. Chairman Driggs said the indications indica-tions point to at least a dozen, entries of twjns in .the contest, more than have ever before taken part in the baby show. The general interest that is being shown is in entries from out-of-town, one mother sending an entry from as far away as Hyde Park in Cache county, while others from all parts of Weber, Box Elder and Davis county are being listed. nn |
