OF TAKES AUTO TRIP Although the first week's was not strenous, the members of the board of review busied themselves with confirm- ingathe assesments made by the deputy ssesors of Decatur township and Macon county. Since their organization Monday afternoon an average of only one complaint has visited ineir sanocum each day. Others have come ana gone onlv after the board members convinc ed them that the assessment on the change of values was corect.

On Saturday atternoon only one ob jector was present. He was from Oakley, township. He complained that his land, located in the river bottom, was not worthy of the high valuation. The case was taken under consideration. On Thursday the entire board visited all of the farm lands in Long Creek township.

The conclusion was that the valuation placed by the assessors were about equal. The trip was made in an automobile and although a number of residents in the southeastern part of that township sat up and gazed at the high browed members of the board riding about in all their style and glory, their decision was taken as final. The members of the board of review wish it distinctly understood that their office hours are from 8 o'clock in the. morning until 5 o'clock in the afternoon. In the last week they have passed the most of the time verifying the work of the assesors in the outside townships.

The board members are awaiting the city list which may not be prepared before Monday, July 3. CHORUS WORK CLOSES MUSICAL FESTIVITIES MILWAUKEE, June 24.

SAYS CITY GAINED BY COUNCIL'S DELAY The commissioners have been report ed to be quarreling among themselves about the disposition of the city funds" said Commissioner Bobbins.

"Well, suppose we did quarrel? The city has lost nothing on that account. In fact. I expect the city is ahead as a result of the delay and the publicity, for we will get 4 per cent on the monthly balances. So Tar as I know, there is not a city in the state getting that high rate of interest, and the interest payments instead of being computed from the day of the contract, date back to the first of the municipal year. May 1.

Personally, I feel rather well pleas ed with the result of the fight, if there was one. for I know nothing about it. I didn't get In on the fight end of the proposition. EX-MAYOR LEHMAN CANNOT BE BLAMED Former-Mayor G. W.

SANTA ANA, June. 24 This is the story of a woman' school teacher who has mastered the management of a roomful of 15-year-old boys by teaching them.iiow to play. Miss Hazel BemusUs her name. She is teacher, of the eighth grade at tfhird street school, and no teacher ever had pupils more loyal than are the 23 boys and -15 girls who compose that grade. Miss Bemus has been successful because she believes in athletics.

She can talk baseball. She knows the difference between a full back and an end rtin, a punt and a goal post, a pigskin and a kick-off. She can start a race. She knows a lot about hurdles, a good deal about field events and a lot more about the things boys and 'girls ought to do and ought not to do to keep themselves in- trim for athletic contests. Above all things else Miss Memus is brimful of "If it wasn't for Miss Bemus I guess we wouldn't do a thing in athletics." said a husky young athlete, a member of Miss Bemus' track team.

"She takes more interest than everybody, else put She never misses a game." The proof is Jn the pudding. The Third street scholar beat every grammar school football team in" Orange county last fall. It has a track 'team that would do credit to a small college-Is An Ardent Fan More than once first place in the hingh jump in meets between Stanford and the University of California' has gone at a Lower mark than five feet seven inches, which was the hight at which young Tom Lacy cleared the bar at a grammar school meet at Venice. In that meet six boys from Santa Anna defeated Venice by a score of 15 to 11. In baseball, too.

Miss Bemus proteges are successful. All the grammar school of Santa Anna, Tustin and Orange have been defeated, and the team is anxious to play any Los Angeles team that has a claim to the grammar school championship of that county. But winning games is not the chiet aim of the Instructor. Miss Bemus is first of all, a teacher, and athletics is but a means to an end. Thte end is to make better and brighter students.

"By gradual encouragement every boy in my class takes some part in athletics," said Miss Bemus, and I have proven that the boys who play the bets and most consistently are the ones who flo best in their classes. When you see a boy sitting around on the beriches watching others play, you may know that he is an indifferent student. Get him interested in athletics and his mind will quicken as his muscles quicken and strengthen. "Athletics give an opportunity for in stilling more lessons in hygiene than all the studies in the school curriculum. Three-of the boys in my Class quit smoking because they learned that cigarettes reduced their efficiency as ath.

letics. They have learned the bad ef fect of the late hours and of over-eat ing and the eating of improper foods." Miss Bemus could talk for an hour telling of the good that athletics have done her boys. "It's ust the same with the girls, she said. "Wre endeavor at our school to get the girls interested. We have basketball and indoor baseball teams, and for a- few minutes almost every evening after school there are games going on.

"Do I play? Indeed I do! -I play shortstop on the girls first team. Miss Wright teacher of the seventh grade, plavs on the first team of her class, and we have some spirited contests. I can tell you." Miss Bemus goes to every football or baseball game, or track meet, in which her school takes part. That is pat of her duty in her scheme of encouraging athletics. I furnish the enthusiasm, said Miss Bemus.

"If I could teach the boys anything about baseball I'd be glad to do it, but a real live boy of fifteen or sixteen years knows base ball. All he needs is enthusiasm and leadership." The result of Miss Bemuss enthus iasm has been the making of an excellent class of students. One of the school authorities who is in a position to know, says it is the best eighth grade in the city from the stand point of studies. From the standpoint of athletics in the language of the small, boy "there nothin' to it. Miss Bemus system teaches fair play.

It teaches self It fosters the spirit of putting every ounce of energy into the thing that is to be done. She coaches a boy to run level best, first preparing himself by proper training that his physical efforts will do him no harm. "I really do no coaching," said Miss "The boys have no regular coach. I make suggestions and of course I teach them what I but it is largely their own conscientious work that has made them athletes. We study rule books and the boys gather a good deal from watching other teams play?" Miss Bemus believes in open air exercises.

Though in statue she is smaller than most of her pupils, when it comes to mountain trips they have found her their equal. During the winter Miss Bemus and her mother took eleven boys on a journey up Mt. Lowe. During the vacation. Miss Bemus and another party walked from West Newport to Laguna beach and Arch beach.

In less than half a day they covered fourteen miles over rocks, up hill and down hill, and along sandy beaches, and finished fresh.

He tells many tales of the wilderness-like condition "Of this section of the country during the years immediately preceeding and following his marriage. One of these tales has become famous. When he first settled in the place which is now his home, he claims it was little more than a swamp or slough and was thickly populated with bull frogs and crawKsh. -His tales of the "singing crawfish" and croaking frogs have entertained children of several generations and also many of his neighbors. His story ot the "singing festivals" indulged in by the crawfish is amusing and entertaining now, "but in his day the performance was a source of much annoyance, he claiming that songs of the "crawdad" kept him awake many nights.

Many beautiful presents and letters of congratulation and remembrance were received by the couple who are still young in their great attachment for one another. Xo children have graced the union of this love" match of many years ago.
