Mrs. Boggs, the Arizona lady whose
stronghold caused Edgar Moere's con-
viction of embezzlement in Judge
Smiths court last week, was in Judge
McKinlsy's court yesterday.
She is suing Edgar Moore ciyilly in
that court to obtain Judgment for the
amount Of money she claims he pur-

The story of the box and it's journey
to Los Angeles was gone over again. and
witnesses examined to establish the abb
straction of the money by Moore.
Upon cross examination OF these wit-
nesses by the defense, somewhat In
genious theory OF defense developed. Il
became apparent that they claim that
Mrs. Bogss loaned several sums of
money out of the box before the order
from Los Angeles arrived directing the
bank official to forward 1t to Los Ange-
les, and that there was in reality very
little nensy, if any, in it when it ar
rived here.
Before the testimony had all been in
troduoed, Judge Mckinley continued
the case until this week. when it will be
taken up again.

The Work of the Primary and
Grammar Grades-A Suggest
i've Course for the
Country schools.

The Los Angeles County Educational
association met yesterday at 10 a. m. at
the high school.
Vice. President Graham occupied the
chair, and the minutes of the last meet
ing were read by the secretary, Edward
Hutchinson.
The association received an invitation
from DIR. Leroy D. Brown to attend a
picnic to be held by the city teachers at
Santa Monica csfion on Saturday, May
19th-train to leave Los Angeles at 8 q.
NJ, and will return at 5 p. III. half fare
for the trip.
Mrs. Burt OF Los Angeles read paper
on the Correlation of the Lines of Study
in the Primary and Grammar Grades.
The work of each grade should be built
upon the work of the grade below. The
first grades should be taught chiefly by
means of stories and pictures.
The work of class in the third grade
was outlined. A small loom made by
the children, and on which coarse cloth
had been woven, was then exhibited.
The children took great delight in max
ing the loom and in weaving the cloth.
Several children's record books were
shown. In these books the children
had carefully noted all changes OF
weather, temperature, earthquakes, etc.
1t was proven that the children taught
in the manner of Jane AndrewH' 10
boys were better observers and conse-
quently better scholars than those
| taught in any other way.
Prof. Graham of Pasadena gave the
report of the committee on the 5ug-
gestive course of study for the county
schools.
In spelling, the committee recon-
mended that when child is unable to
! spell q word he should draw line or
/ leave a blank, rather than write some
thing which he thinks to be wrong.
Numb ers should be taught to IL instead
of 10, in the first year; products to II
also. In the second grade the study OF
numbers should be limited to the num-
Der 1000. Roman numerals should be
taught to 30. For the third grade a
number of supplementary readers were
recommended. For the fourth grade
the committee recommended much prac-
tice in mental arithmetic and language
work. In the fifth grade the primary
geography should be completed, the
parts OF speech should be learned and
fractions should be completed.
In the sixth grade compound num-
bers should be thoroughly mastered and
some good work in literature should be
completed.
In the seventh grade the study OF his
tory should begin, to be carried through
the eighth grade.
| At least two classics in literature
should be completed in the seventh
year.

day morning upon the matrimonial
project entertained by young man
giving the name of John w. Blanford.
During the morning a Mr.. Priester
called at the Office and held cons ulta-
ton with Deputy Sam Kutz. He in
formed him that his sister, Miss Mary
Priester, had gone away from home
with Bianford against the wishes OF her
parents. He displayed considerable
agitation and said that his sister is not

At noon, while Deputy Butterworth
was in the Office, Blsnford cs me in and
asked for q marriage license. Upon Civ

the name of the lady, and when that OF
Miss Preister was given told him the
license could not be issued.
Blanford asked why not. and was
asked if the lady was OF age, to which he
replied that she was.
Mr.. Butter worth informed him that
the Office had been notified that she was
not, when the young aspirant for matri-
monial honors hedged by declaring that
she was in her eighteenth year.
He was told that the consent of the
parcnte would be necessary, and his face
fell, but he frightened mp in moment

End to End in the
County.

The roads convention met in the
Chamber OF Commerce hall yesterday
afternoon. Every section OF the county
was represented by delegations of from
three to twenty members, who were
fully imbued with the Importance OF the
reason for which they had met.
Mr.. d. Freeman, who called the con-
vention to order. was elected chairman.
and fulfilled the duties very aptly, and
by his able rulings prevented the dis
cuesion OF the matters under considera-
ton from straying away into immaterial
paths. Mr.. Charles d. Willard, secre-
tary of the chamber Of commerce. was
elected secretary, and then the conven-
ton Immediately proceeded to business.
There was tendency at the outset by
certain delegates to ntilste the needs
OF their particular sections, but the rul-
ings were that this was a county conven-
ton, in the full sense Of the word, for
the betterment and construction OF a
system of county roads, and no depart
ure from that proposition was allowed
by the chairman.
The motion by Abbott Kinney that all
citizens who took enough interest in the
convention, and were present in the
cham Der OF commerce, should take seats
and be permitted to deliberate, was
voted down by large majority.
W. @. Patterson moved that q COM

to formulate a petition to the board of
supervisors, and the same was seconded
by George s. Patton and unanimously

convention that $750,000 of 40 year
bonds bearing interest at q rate not to
exceed per cent shall be issued for the
purpose of constructing system of main
trunk lines of roads leading from the
city OF Los Angeles and which shall con-

the course now followed, except that
the Lady OF the Lake be studied in the

Prof. Jones, OF Alhambra, spoke in
favor OF doing more work in language.
There are too many pupils who can not
speak with any degree OF correctness.
Prof. Rowell, of Redondo, spoke in
favor of more hard work in all grades.
Much work should be done as q matter

Colonel Hill of Norwalk spoke in favor
OF cultivating habit. Children will often
do what they are permitted to do.
Sometimes they will learn without per-
mission.

Prof. Salee OF Harmony said: ~ be-

Mr.. Hutchinson of University spoke
in favor of having the pupils write for

motion to reject the report shared the

plan that would best suit the teachers
of the county.
The association adjourned to meet on

green, etc. The studies were all identi-
cal and looked the same as compared
with their relative background. But by
covering the background and exposing
only the flowers it was clearly seen that
no two were the same color OF pink.
Therefore we have no local color. Bear
ing this in mind our first effort is to as
certain what color in the background
makes our sitter look his or her best. Ii
the complexion is "spotty" or varied in
color, experience teaches US that back
ground much broken up greatly hides
this defect OF nature, being careful OF
course that the main body of color Is in
harmony with the complexion. Neither
do we guess at these combinations, but
keep large assortment of various colors
and shades which we try behind our
subject until thoroughly convinced that
we nave selected that which gives the
most beautiful color impression of the
model. This done, the dress of couree
must be in keeping with the style and
color of the person, and also it forms q
matter of study with reference to the
background. These points of such vital
importance to the result of the work Sc
lected, the picture advances without any
OF the vexations which beset the artist
when he sees beautiful color scheme
vanish as he throws in rich, dark back
ground with which he thought to give
grand relief to his figure, which he has
half or wholly finished ON something in
a different key. / never fail to zee when
an artist has changed his mind" and
at the same time his background, for
there lie always wanting in the picture
that unity of harmony which only re-
suits from the relative balancing. one
with another, of these delicate atoms OF
the pigments. Nor do we fail to OBJ

There is no doubt that horses in Eng

there, as with us, which compel our train

days Of August nor the thermometer

handling of the ycarings than is done

Mhent Seeding.

Many farmers will cut down the area
or not SOW at all because of the low
price But, says Rural New Yorker, on
many farms wheat is the only crop with
which a good catch of clover and timo-
thy can be obtained Grass is the foun-
dation for all soil Improvement and can
not be neglected without loss Between
Oat harvest and that of fall products
the men and teams are not busy, and the
fitting Of the ground is not expensive.
With the binders the work of harvesting
is light. The cost Of growing is no more
than that OF oats, and even at present
prices the yield isnearly equal in value
without including the advantage in
seeding. Oats yielding 40 bushels are
worth about SIP per acre; wheat yield
ing 20 bushels, the same.
Tie wheat is the cheapest grain food
for all farm animals, especially hens.
Many farmers have fed wheat this sea
son that never used it before for feed.
Many will sow but half as much as for
merly. These conditions duplicated all
over the country would produce a wheat
famine Bat wheat growing may be
made paying occupation yet by a care
full attention to all the details. An ex-
cessive cultivation Of the seeded will
produce great results. 1t should be lib
orally fertilized and varieties which are
large yielders sown.
