A. officers. All arc especially mvn- ed to attend the meeting. o Mrs. L. J. Hutchlngs was lumtess to Mrs. one anernuon , Uura Francom of Salt I.aktf uy, Mcsdames Norman Wing, E. H. Holey, Walter Pevey and William Moyie of this city. The question, how does our city impress the visitor, has arose here and promises to be asked continually continual-ly in the next few years. American Fork has entered into a contract to beautify and become a model city of the state under the direction of the Utah Agricultural College extension division and therefore, must present an even better appearance than other towns and cities in the state since all eyes will search out our untidy lots, yards, homes, etc. ' - An editorial in the Desert News the other evening gave a very good idea of what beauty in a city means. In part they said: "A party of sightseers visiting some of Utah's wonderlands passed, the other day, through a certain village of this state. The appearance of the lltlte town was most discouraging to the Uahns who happened to be in the party. Fences and barns were" ragged and broken down, the yards were littered and dirty, and the houses needed attention badly. A man from the East was overheard to remark to his neighbor from the Middle West "Pretty rough looking village, isn't It? It doesn't look as if ther.e'd been a pot of paint heret in fifty years." To this the reply came: "Looks like part of the poor-white country in the South. I certainly didn't expect to see anything like this in Utah, I had understood the people here were more thrifty and progressive than this." With a' little work and planning our citizens can make American Fork a model city that will draw forth praise from every visitor going through. We have a good start, let's keep the work progressing. e Provo Woman Buried at American Fork FIRST HALF WON EASILY. SECOND HALF ENDED WITH THREE TEAMS TIED. CAVEMEN WINS THREE-TEAM 8ERIE8, DE-FEATING DE-FEATING BOTH PROVO AND EUREKA. American Fork closed the 1925 baseball base-ball season here Labor Day by defeating de-feating Kureka in the three-team Berles for the second series In the Utah Central League, the victory giving our team the undisputed championship cham-pionship of the league this year and Ineide-ntly possession of the champion ship pennant. ' H This .lathe.thlrd year . that "Haps" crew has brought home the championship and the team can still be looked to for future victories. Victory has been coming to the team so regular that it does not go to the heads of the players at all. In the five years that Utah County has played play-ed league baseball American Fork has been champions three times. The Eureka game here was a hard contested affair, the visitors being determined to lick us because they had previously trounced Provo and with this victory over American Fork would have been winners of the second series of the 1925 season. How ever, the local team were also in to win and cinch the pennant and con sequently a battle royal ensued. The visitors took the lead' In the first two Innings and kept It until the seventh when the locals pushed over four runs giving- them a margin" of three. The final score was 9 to 6 in favor of American Fork. o Lloyd's Funny Car Only One In World Mrs. Ella Brown Green, 42, a native of this city, dieM Thursday In Provo after a lingering Illness.

He Is the sole creator, the Inventor, and the produceY. It is the "Butterfly Six" (no advertising Intended) and if, through It, you don't receive more laughs than you have had for many a day, thefre Is something some-thing wrong with your sense of humor. hum-or. Your funny bone needs chiroprac tic treatments. For the "Butterfly Six" is the center of one of the1 swiftest and funniest factions that has ever been seen in one of Harold Lloyds comedies. mere are two otner riD-tickiing sequences se-quences In this picture that are guaranteed blue-chasers, but for originality and cleverness , the ; one involving the "Butterfly Six" is the equal ob either. Harold takes the family out for a ride In his new car, or rather his wife's family takes him out in his car, and If there i anything that could happen to a new automobile, and doesn't in this picture, Mr. Lloyd will give the remains to one telling what he forgot to put into the se quence. - o Grant Brothers Takes Lease On Cobblestone Station The Grant Brothers, Francis and David, now operators of the Grant Service at Lehl, eecured a two year lease on the Cobblestone Service Station at American Fork and assumed as-sumed control of the said station on September 1st The young men have successfully operated the Grant station at Lehl the past year and with the addition of another station situated In the ideal location that it Is on the state high way they should increase business at both places and work Into, a real big business. The new operators will conduct a general automobile service station carrying gas, oils, tires, tubes, etc. In the future it is to be known as the Grant Cobblestone Service. The Flower Show Committee Com-mittee Ask For Report The people of American Fork wlM remember that last spring a special committee was chosen to work on the business of making the1 Ctty beautiful with Inducing our citizens to plant flowers.'

Then on the other hand many have planted and worked, but this being rather off season for flower development -- the plants have failed to do their best, and even old hapds at flower producing say their gardens fell below be-low normal for reasons they cannot explain. However, the committee will be glad to hear from these who are prepared to enter the flower contest The time is short so those who are ready will either write the numbers of flowers and the kinds of contests they wish to enter, address to P. O. BOX 37 or call 60J. Do this no lateir than Monday, Sept 14th. Hit Winning Cacti A pessimist mny have his faults bat bis Ideas about fishing are generally pretty accurate.-CorneTI Widow.
