 for Entertaining Arizona Cattle Growers Associa- tion, February Il to 13

-Four o8trlch. halves are 70 be barbecued at the,state fair ground Wednesday as the big Entertainment feature of the convention of the Arizona Cattle GrowerS' association.
 All preparations now are practically complete for the entertainment of the association when it meets in conven- tion in Phoenix February II, 12 and 13. | One of the biggest features will be the barbecue which is being planned and arranged by Sheriff Montgomery who is conceded by everybody to be the finest barbecue artist in Phoenix and vicinity. Mir. Montgomery is making arrangements for the attendance of 1000 people at the barbecue and fully expects that many to be there if not more
 The barbecue will be held at the state fair grounds Wednesday, Febru- ary 12 and all the apparatus for such big feed is being collected with great rapidity. The 50-foot trench where the meat will be cooked is already dug and ready. On account of the large number of people who will attend, the food will be served in cafeteria style, and for this purpose a 100-foot table is being built on either side of the trench.
  The arrangements as to food also have been completed. and Mir. Mont | gomery said yesterday that 40 100- pound quarters of beef and four os- trich halves are being prepared to be sent to the fair grounds Tuesday. Two hundred and fifty gallons of coffee will be served and on account of ! the scarcity of cups, each guest is re- quested. if possible, to bring his own cup. The committee has been unable | to procure such a large amount of cups, as all the available ones have been taken for the United States army.
 The gates of the fair grounds will be opened at 12 o'clock sharp We'd nesday and food will be served imme- diately, it being very imperative that the barbecue start on time so as to enable the business men to return to town early. The guests are requested to park their automobiles in the space in front of the grandstand which will prevent all confusion when guests are ready to leave.
 Arrangements for other entertain ment features also are well under way and the womens committee, under the direction of Mrs. Harry Kay, is work ing hard on the big dance and buffet supper which will take place Tuesday evening at Arcadia hall. The hall is being beautifully decorated, and exten- sive preparations are being made for the accommodations of all the guests Following is the program to be car ried out at the annual convention oi the Arizona Cattle Growers associa tion:
