 Mir. k B. Perrin Jr., appeared and askrd reduction on the assesss- ment of the Ba hocomori land grant from $2.50 to $2 per acre, he lat ter bting the figure at which other grants in the county are assessed. The request was granted.
 The clerk of the board was or dered to advertise for bids for re- pairing the retaining wall on the north side of the court house.
 The justice of the peace at Pata- gonia was authorized tp retain in custody at that place vags sen fenced to jail sentences and put them at work digging a tunnel upon the county lot, to be used as a jail.
 Lou Stephens and Bert Sorrels were appointed viewers to view d new road ordered from Patagonia to the Gringo mine, and another to the Sor,els ranche.
 A petition to change the county , road below Patagonia on the Sonoi. la, was granted, and notices ordered posted.

The general government must be convinced of the availability of a sufficient sup ply of water before committing itself to the reclamation scheme proposed, and actual measurement is the only way for doing so.

 Discovery of q great ore body in any mining property is followed so ir+uuentIy by volumlnous llllga- tion that it is said often that big law,uit is the best evidence of d l,Ig mine; anI the more lawsuits and he bigger they are the bigger the mine.

 She gives sympathy, enters into his feelings, sees things from his point of view. If he tells of something which proves that he is at fault, she does not reprimand at the time, because this will check further condolences. She gives her attention quietly, tells him she is glad he has conhded in her, and that she will talk of 1t again with him.

thusiasm for noblG lives books of adven- ture, travel and exploration will teach endurance and perseverance. If good literature is loved in the home, if there is a supply of interesting books and good collections of verse, boy will acquire wholesome taste in reading.
 If he has a natural taste for books he has a joy of his own. If he has not the taste, at least he can be kept away from undesirable reading. He can be given the chance to be interested in good things and to form his ideals by them. The Guiding. Not the Driving Hand
 When boy is very young he should not be allowed to go out in the evening When he grows older it is not wise to use coercion. A mothers heart can only follow her boy in hope and prayer when she sees his life detaching itself little from home Nothing is gained by lec- lures or queries, nothing by nagging or scolding The surest dependence IS to make home attractive
 If possible, there should be a room where he can have his boy friends and be amused with photography, candy-pulling, popping corn; or the living room of the home must not be considered too good for this A mother must not be too much in her sewing in the evening, or ! father with his newspaper, The evening may be pleasant and profitable part Of the day.

The Ground Plan

The Ground Plan
 The floor arrangement of a dwelling house Is not determined merely by the fancies and notions of either the owner or the architect In approaching the problem 1t IS always necessary to be- come thoroughly familiar with the char acteristics of the building site; its loca- ton as to the points of the compass, its contour and grade, the placing of the trees and its relation 10 adjoining prop erty.
 The living-room must. of course, be as large as possible, with light on three sides, if it can be obtained.
 The Entrance
 The entrance need not be on the front of the building, contrary to ideas which sometimes prevail With a side entrance and especially the side porch, a much bet ter view Is obtained from the front windows in the living-roOm than If the entrance and veranda were on the front of the building.
 In arranging your floor plan be care ful to so place the dining-ToOm that 1t may open up a good vista from the liv- ing-rOom. The plan should not be a segregation of individual rooms, but rather an arrangement suggesting one large room, treated sectionally for the different apartments. Omit all the doors possible between living rooms.
 This is more economical and secures more livable results. Do not under any circumstances have a kitchen larger than it need be. After you have decided on the size of your kitchen, you may safely reduce 1t ten per cent more

home occupations, reading alouu, games, talks and music.
 She will make home a hospitabie place, where her boys friends-boys and girls-will feel it a privilege and delight to be invited to share inno- cent amusements. The sacrifice of lit- tle space will go far toward making a boy happy Tact IS required by a mother in not letting boy think he IS being kept at home because he IS not capable of resisting outside temptation With wholesome evening Occupations for his thoughts and hands the moments glide away and bedtime comes.
 Mother and Sen
 A manly boy thinks it a privilege and comfort to go 10 his mother with anything that Las worried him. As he conhdes in her sympathy and counsel he has a sure sense of relief. A manly boy has a chivalrous sense Of protection for his mother. His loyalty and love would not grieve or disappoint her. He would shield her from trouble, or share with her in her sorrows.

"The light of love in my mother s face made home bright and happy" said a man, looking back tenderly to his boyhood's days. Her cheerful, con- tented spirit, her calm way of meeting disappointments, her charitable way of judging others, her kind way of giving encouragement helped me to see how to take life. She seemed to have a well-spring of joy in her heart. I know now that it came from her faith in God and her love of all that is good. Her ideas of duty were very clear, direct and simple.
 If I had a task or a duty to do and tried to avoid 1t, or put it of, or ex- cuse myself. she would say, very gently,
 Go and do it, and her kind look, her few but firm words inspired me at once to do as she said. Then I had the joy afterwards of having her praise and appreciation. When l look back now I see that it was her way to go on quietly, faithfully, uhcomplainingly with every duty without expecting praise" Watch the Boys Mood
 When the mood is in his heart is the moment to talk to boy on serious sub jects. The words spoken at bedtime are usually worth more than anything that has been said during the day. Blessings will follow mothers prayers made with her boy In her boys Bible beloved mother wrote, Let this be your guide; look into it every day, if you have only time for one verse. Do not read it as a task, but for the help it will give you in your daily life, and listen to its teach ings as the voice from Heaven" As the Growth Comes
 The years from eight to twelve are a unique period. The brain acquires near ly its adult size, health is at its best, ac- tivity is great. A boy begins to develop interests outside of his home and can absorb a large amount of information helpful or hurtful. Gradually he should be given freedom as he learns how to use it. Restraints which have been necessary during the years of Responsibility should be removed when he is learning

patient devotion is the greatest blessing 1t the honest desire to fulfill her obli- gations. True affection does not mean weak or foolish indulgence, but the intelligent love by which a mother seeks to develop in her boy the strong and hardy qualities of manliness.
 The impressions made in boyhood may be enduring inspirations through life. If boyhood is happy, there will be happi- ness years afterwards in the memory of it. The key of many of the great moral problems is m a mothers hands A mother once wrote in her journal, Moth ing keeps the heart so fresh and young, saves 1t from bitterness through the cares and disappointments of life, as the daily enjoyment of a happy home. May 1 always keep this in remembrance and do everything that lies in my power to make home the happiest spot on earth for ny children"
 Love the Leading Force
 Characteristics of the warm-hearted days of boyhood are boys love for his mother, love for truth and justice, love of God and beautiful things The rec ognition Of these facts may help parents to guide boy.
 A mother is her boys earliest ideal of womanhood. Through her he learns to respect womanhood. Her ideals and standards will be his through all time. If her standards of life are high and pure and noble they will be reflected in the words she speaks, the deeds she does, in the ordering of her household and in her conscientious life
