Is generally conceded that the division
championship lies between these two
teams. Both have most of their old
players back and neither has been
defeated yet in this seasons series.
Lehi intends coming with 200 rooters
and many will come from American
Fork.
Pleasant Grove won its opening
game of the championship series by
defeating American Fork last Friday
with score of 80 to 25. The boys all
did good work and seem to be in form
for winning the state championship
again this year.

Patrons Day
Great Success

Principal Walker and the other
school officials are certainly to be con-
graduated on the great success of
patrons days at the local public
schools, Thursday and Friday. Hun
dreos of patrons visited the high
school and the grades at Pleasant
Grove, Linden and Manila. The at
tendance was even greater than last
year. A feature was the large attend
ance and keen interest displayed in
the patrons round table, talks that
were held in each of the districts
from 1880 to 1 o'clock Thursday. The
discussions of study hours, diet and
other subjects will result in much
good. The outcome of this feature
will be the organization of three par
ent-teachers' associations, where these
and other subjects will be further
discussed.
The program as outlined in our last
issue was carried out In detail. State
superintendent +. G.. Gowans talked
. a packed house In the Tabernacle
Thursday night on the question of
Preparedness. He was eulogistic of
our school conditions in Pleasant
Grove. which he said were equal to
any In the state. The choruses and
orchestra work were particularly sin
gled out for Communication.
Prof. Il. L. Roberts of the d. Y. T.,
Dr. c. w. Porter Of the U. A. C. and
Prof. Smart of the b. Y. U. were also
present.

CITY'S FINANCIAL REPORT.

The City Recorders report in this
issue Is one OF the most comprehen-
sive ever published. Any citizen can
readily see from II what has been done
with the city's funds during the past
year. The report shows a comfortable
balance on the right side of the ledger.
A feature OF the report in which the
people will be interested is the fact
that the water system is an impor-
tant source OF revenue to the city.
This department shows receipts of
$500, with expenditures OF si10j, a
profit to the city OF $1,000.

Less Time, More Work.

A very large printing plant doing practically every line of printing, de- cided several years ago to change from a ten-hour day to one of eight hours. AS competition in most of their work was very keen, the change could not be made unless costs could at least be kept from increasing. The situation was studied for many months, and as leaks and wastes were found, meas ures to stop them were put in effect problems of power, light, heat, humid ity, handling of materials, etc, were studied and conditions improved. Ade- quate methods of planning and dis patching the work were installed, with the result that delivery dates were met and idleness in the plant reduced to a minimum. Finally, the eight-hour day was inaugurated amid great re- joicing on the part of the employees. In fact the good feeling engendered was so deep rooted that it is still very much alive in the plant The con- pany also has every reason to re- joice, as costs were materially re- duced and profits were increased. This is shown by the fact that the stock has greatly increased in price due to the higher dividends paid.- Engineering Magazine.

BROCK HAS CHARM
Simplicity, Beauty and Smart
 ness in Combination.
Style Suitable for All Forms Of House. wear, and in Fine Materials Most Appropriate for the Afternoon
 or Dinner Occasions.

No better example of simplicity in dress, combined with beauty and Sna4rtrsSs. is to be found than in this summer trock. It is one that can be duplicated in style in silks, and in chironS and fabrics suitable for use tn the house, Inexpensive goods will serve for morning frock. and finer qualities for afternoon and dinner wear at home. Tho dinner dress for formal affairs must always be decollete.
 While this design may be made up tn one piece or of deep embroidered ioupcins. the general scheme shows how dotted goods can be combined with plain fabrics to create 8 very charming frock. The design can be carried out in dotted swiss combined with plain swiss or batiste or null.
 Any of these associate favorably with embroidery of the same sheer ness or quality Another simple yet exquisite combination is made with rows Of footing sewed at intervals on plain goods. The footing can be pur- chased by the yard or by the piece, but if 1t be not easily obtainable. cut

Masking the Guns.

Against aircraft observation one of the first precautions taken is to splash guns, limbers, and ammunition wag- ons with different neutral tints, so that they will blend with the ground about then. Any earthworks, pits, etc, that are erected or dug are strewn with leaves and branches, and the earth dis turbed generally, so that from above nothing unusual shall be spotted by keen-eyed airmen.
 A battery of guns is seldom placed along the skyline, for there it is an easy mark Generally the guns are concealed some distance down the in cline in front of the skyline, unless the guns are howitzers, in which case they can be best served from behind the ridge. The idea of placing the guns in front of the ridge is that the rising ground behind them serves as an ef- fective screen, as the guns themselves are painted to represent earth and fo- liage.

Makes a Pretty Pincushion.

very pleasing way in which to add an individual touch to your dress ing table is to make a pincushion rep resenting a Quaker maid. The effect will be so charming that all your friends who use the cushion will want to have one made like it. Here are the directions: Cover a disk of card board measuring about two inches in diameter. This will form a base for the cushion. Use gray poplin for the covering. Around the circumference of the disk sew a piece of gray poplin which is to form the skirt for the Quakeress. Fill this full of bran until there is not wrinkle in the skirt. Now then, gather the top of the skirt over the bust of a bisque dolls head. Rather large French knots can be ap- piled to simulate flowers to trim the bonnet You'll not receive one com plaint from the demure maiden no matter how many pins you choose to put in her skirt.

Pottery Is Popular.

Pottery has again come into vogue to a great extent, and it is most at tractive for spring luncheon, lending itself readily to many flowers or none at all. The quaint shapes and odd colorings are a decoration in them selves. At one luncheon little bowls of pottery without handles were used for soup, and even the water was served in tall beakers of the same quaint ware; silver platters were dis carded in favor of square and oblong ones of pottery on which curious fig. ures and flowers were portrayed in odd, fascinating colors.-Harper Bazaar

Liberal Use of Braidi1u.

Braided designs are so much in vogue for trimming dresses that the needlewoman should be able to gain some very satisfactory results from copying or modifying the designs shown in the shops. A white net frock which catches the eye because of its simplicity has skirt made plain and gathered at the waist line. Down the front and back are aprons of net about twelve inches wide. At the bottom of each apron white braid has been cleverly used to follow out scroll design. The same design and material are used to trim the front of the bodice. At the bottom of the dress white moire ribbon about four inches wide Is stitched without any tullness. And then three inches above
