'Material Development Of
Texas’ Is Club Subject
(From the Club Reporter)
The Self-Culture club met Wed
nesday afternoon in the spacious
home of Mrs. E. T. Yates with Mrs
George Hamilton as hostess. A pro
fusion of Flanders poppies made the
rooms very attractive. The topic for
the afternoon was “The Material
Development of Texas ’ with Mrs
Emil Bianck as leader. She gave a
most interesting resume of the d.
velopment of Texas through the past
50 years, describing her passage from
the period of the “Red Skins to the
high culture of today.
No region ip all the southwest is
luring more men and more money
than is Texas. The tide of farm
emigration now flowing into the
Panhandle is the largest since the
historic trek to western Canada in
the nineties Cher the great ocean
to-ocean and borderland highways,
there moves a steady stream of mot
or tourists, lured by the semi-tropi
cal climate, beautiful landscapes,
fine fishing waters, and opportuni
ties for wealth that the great state
affords.
Almost unebllevable are the statis
tics of her natural resources: lig
nite beds stretching from the Red
river valley to the Gulf sufficient to
furnish fuel for centuries: the stup
endendous cotton crop every year
Ullt with h^r ahlpptny facilities
and electric power will undoubted
ly soon bring great cotton mill in
dustries; the millions of long-hair
ed goats whose clippings brinR for
tunes every year, the many thous
ands of fat turkeys that gmre th
tables of the nation and an annual
pecan crop valued at $680,000 00.
Texas has the largest sulphur de-!
posits in the United States which
equal to 90 per cent of the world’s
production: and her wealth in oil:
and its subsidiary products are in-1
estimable, millions of cattle still
roam her plains and feed the mar
kets of the world.
The Rio Grande Valley with Its
truck crops, citrus fruit, canning
factories, cotton, and now petroleum,
will through the port at Brownsville
bring added wp-’Uh from all mar
kets of the world.
Texas with her enormous prodir
tion of raw’ materials both agricul
tural and International needs should
become one of the most prosper
ous and cultured sections of the
world.
During the social hour a delic
ious dessert plate was served by the
hostess assisted by Mrs. E. T. Yates
Guests were Mr A. R. Abernathy
of Denver. Colo., and Mrs. Belle
Crosfield of Tulsa. Okla.
The club will meet next Wednes
day with Mrs. Milton West and be- j
gin the study of a Shakeepeclan pief. I
chants in regard to placing their
papers and trash in covered recep
tacles The matter was thoroughly
dlscrjssed in order to work out some
plan for improvement. Many years
ago, when Brownsville was much
smaller, the Civic League and the |
city administration bought covered
cans and placed them on every
street comer.
Mrs. Bollinger was appointed to
confer with the city manager in
order to solve the problem.
Another member complains of
cows and horses being kept on a
lot In the city limits, attracting
flies and making the lot an untidy
one generally.
In order to raise funds for city
beautification the Civic League is
planning to have an antique dis
play In a Valley town, this was
done, and having charged an ad
mission of ten cents per person, a
sum of 60 dollars was realized.
Mrs. G. W. Johnson and Mrs.
Kellis Buckley attended a meeting
In San Benito this week where
they exchanged views with women
who were planning a city improve
ment project. Mrs. Buckley report
ed an Interesting meeting One
Valley town received 150 bougain
villeas from the Chamber of Com
merce. The club women are to
plant them and the city is to fur
nish water and care
Mrs. E. P. Day, who is Arbor Day
chairman, is to be in charge of the
observance of that day.
The club is to give five dollars
towards the payment of the note on
the club house lot.
As there had been no arrange
ments made for a social program,
the president, Mrs. G. W. Johnson.j
gave a short talk on the floating
gardens of Mexico City, gardens
that are unique and well worth
describing.

Modem Short
Stories Are
Club Topic
The Learners' club met at the
home of Miss Elsa. Walt hen on
Washington street. Tuesday after
noon. The lesson on ‘ Modern Short
Stones" was under the leadership
of Mrs. C. W. Colgln. who had
prepared a most interesting talk.
She said that the short story la
no ne wthing. that the oldest tales,
the legends, which were repeated
to each succeeding generation,
were the original short stortea.
Brander Mathews once said that
“We cannot open a book, even if it
shelters only evanescent fiction
aiming only to amuse an idle hour
without opening a window on a ci
vilization unlike any other.’*
More than 70 years ago Edgar
Alien Poe created a distinct lltaSN*
ary type of short story character
ised by brevity and coherence. Q.
Henry's short stories, written about
the beginning of this century, re
main endlessly re-readable.
Mr. Hunt, the well known critic,
says: “A short story must have
three things: first, one person a*
the center, one crisis, and one ef
fect; second, an experience; and
third, pleasure that is true and
lasting and writing which is clear
and beautiful.”
Mrs. O. 8 Su-11 told an entertain
ing short story, "And the Teacher
Passed Too." Mrs. Mae Bruteche
told of a volume of short stories
written by a recent Nobel Prise
winner. A general discussion of
favorite short stories and short
story writers followed and Mrs. P.
D. Putegnat closed the program
with a short, short story
