Mrs. Boyd read a paper on “Alkali
Trails” by Dr_ William Curry
Holden, prepared by Miss Mildred
Arnett. The purpose of this woi’k,

problems and movements of West
Texas between 1896 and 1900. The
chapters really constitute more or
less isolated, descriptive studies
bound together by a sort of geo-
graphic unity. The movements, for
the most part, are parallel to, or
contemporary with, each other. The
railroad and mineral movement were
going on at the same time; they
both reached their peak in 1886 and
were intensified by the drouth of

Mrs. Bill Hallman was leader for
the afternoon. Roll call was answered
with current events.
Mrs. Harry Bettis was first on the
program. She had as her subject
“Full Harvest,’ written by Charlotte
Prentiss Browning who was in her
ninety-fifth year at the time of
writing. Mrs. Browning is a mem-
ber of the pioneer families who set-
tled Cooperstown, her great grand-
father settling there before the
Revolutionary War. Mrs. Browning
shows that life can very easily begin
at ninety-five years after life be-
gins at forty! She celebrated her
eighty-eighth birthday, after she be-
gan having birthdays again, in Jeru-
salem; her 89th in Chicago; her
90th in giving a lecture; her 91st
while crossing the Carribbean Sea
headed to Cuba; her 92nd in Missis-
sippi during the terrible floods of
Hoover’s presidential regime; her
93rd in Washington where she re-
ceived congratulatory message from.
President Hoover; her 94th in Pasa-
dena, California where four genera-
tions were present at a celebration.
Cooperstown, New York is famous
fo?1 being- the homes of many famous
and near-famous people but it still
is better know for having nothing
for sale. Temperance was first be-
gun in Cooperstown by Mrs. Brown-
ing’s mother who also gave the first
dry party in Cooperstown. P. T.
Barnum, of the circus fame, came
there as a temperance speaker.
Cooperstown was founded also by
the Coopers, who were ancestors of
James Fenimore Cooper, the nov-
elist., who made his home there.
Erastus Beagle, originator of the
dime novel, made his home there.
These dime novels, which came out
first during the Civil War, are rated
far above the present newstand
literature. Adner Doubleday, orig-
inator of baseball, made his home
there. He laid off the first diamond
in 1839 and thus began one of the
greatest of modern amusements.
Elward Clark, who made a fortune
out of needles for the Singer sewing
machine lived in Cooperstown.
Also in connection with her inter-
esting tales of the famous people
who have been in Cooperstown, Mrs.
Browning told many details of her |
Jersey and later established Coop-
erstown in the state of New York.
He contacted the Indians and his
relations with them gave him the
material for his stories of frontier
life and tales of the Indians. Ex-
pelled from one of the more promi-
nent eastern colleges, Cooper en-
listed in the navy and from his
own experiences on the sea gained
the material for his stories of the
sea.
Some of Cooper’s best known
novels of the sea are “The Pirate”
and “Red Rover.” The Leather-
stocking Tales include his books
written on Indian and frontier life.
Included m this series are “The
Deerslayer,” “Last of the Mohicans,’1 if.
