Early Pioneer Days Are Vipidly Recounted
When College Club Is Entertained in HoitUiIIe

Early days in Imperial County
were brought back most wildly at
the meeting of the College Woman s
Club Saturday, held at Holtville.
The Holtville members were host.

of the club, Mrs. Kate Beal, herself,
belongs to those very early days,
and so was able TO bring 70 the
meeting other early settlers, all of
whom recounted events and expert.
ences of thrilling interest.
Luncheon was served on the high
school lawn, just as in fiesta days,
and consisted of delicious Spanish
beans, Spanish meat, coffee and pie,
with lettuce salad and cheese, not
on the menu in those pioneer days
when Holtville used to entertain
the entire population Of the valley.
Miss Margaret Gentry sang "Out
Where the West Begins as the
opening number on the program.
Mrs. Beal read a most delightful
paper on the exploration period of
the desert and closed with her own
personal experience as n pioneer.
The Beals came first to the valley
in 1905, only to look things over.
In 1906 they came to settle, and saw
the development of the valley from
the smallest beginnings to the pres
ent time. But Mrs. Beals does not
regard herself as real pioneer,
and so had Mrs. Bridenstine, who
has been here since 1901, and Mrs.
Tufts, who came in 1908, tell Of
the very early days.
Mrs Bridenstine kept a diary
from the time she came, and from
that had refreshed her memory until
she was able to make vivid the
story of development, which reads
like romance
The Brienstines took up their per
nanent residence on ,he Eastside
in 1903, buying lumber by the pound
to build their first home.
They had three children for whom

Mrs. G0odicin Tells of
Mission Work in MEXICO

At the recent meeting of the
woman's Missionary Society of
State Street Christian church, Mrs.
Goodwin told most Interestingly of
the missionary work that is being
done below the line by the Rev.
Tierre, Mr.. Roher and Mrs. Roher
Of Calexico, and their assistants.
Mrs. Goodwin helped with the work
before coming 70 live in FL Centre
a short time ago, and gave first
hand knowledge of the needs down
there, not only spiritually, but ma
terially.
She said that there is much power
ty and distress in that section and
that those who are trying to re-
lieve it, find it hard task, requir-
ing Christian fortitude and love in
the largest sense. She gave concrete
examples which amazed her hearers
and appealed TO their hearts and
minds very deeply.
Mrs. j. Z. Hodge, the president of
the society," addressed the meeting
on the need of more protestant
churches in the great cities of the
United States. The cities are grow
ing so rapidly that the churches are
inadequate to take care of the re-
ligious life of the teeming multi
tudes, and to counteract other in
fluences that are on every hand.
The meeting was held at the home
of Mrs. J. 8. Carmichael and was
one of the most interesting of the
year, with q fine attendance of mem
hers and several visitors. Plans for
the Colonial tea were worked cut
during the business session.

they desired educational advantag
es, and their influence was used in
the organization of the Eastside
school district, which extended
from Imperial to Yuma. There were
20 children in the school when it
opened with highly educated man
from Boston in charge. The school
house was the typical "rag knowl.
edge box" of those early days, but
the school did good work and won
high praise from the county super
intendent, Hugh J. Baldwin.
There were many Indians IN the
country at that time and Mrs. Bird
enstine discovered some of their
characteristics, one of which was
that the red man really has sense
of humor, unsupported by the white
man.
Electricity was instituted in the
valley in 1906, to the joy of the
settlers, and the telephone came in
1902, so that the pioneers were not
so far behind in modern conven
fences.
Mrs. Bridenstine spoke with pride
of the development of ,Holtville,
which she saw from the very begin
ming. She is proud of the valley
and soves its people. The friend
ships and joys of pioneer days were
spoken of with feeling. All were
close together in spirit and hospi-
tally was marked characteristic
of the time, before there were hotels
or places of entertainments for
strangers coming to the country.
Attending the meeting from FL
Centre were: Mrs. Leroy Merchant,
Mrs. Roy Breedlove, Mrs. Charlotte
King, Miss Christine Anderberry,
Mrs. R. H. Power, Mrs. Claude Orr,
Mrs. Norman Dupont, Mrs. Douglas
Mrs. A. P. SHIRLEY, Mrs.
II. c. McKim, Mrs. Lorin Jones,
Mrs. Genevievc Phillips, and Miss
Wildabrowne. Many attended from
other towns of the valley.

Dame Fashion
Declares
That

A most striking and yet most
simple trimming was seen re-
Gently on a beautiful evening
frock in a Los Angeles shop.
The frock itself, made plainly
with an unpretentious drapery
on the left hip, was of pale blue
crepe maroccain. The only trim
ming was a wide scarf of geran-
ium brocaded velvet which hung
over the left shoulder to the hip,
crossed at the back and came
under the right arm to fall in a
long pointed train.
Dresses are being made Of diff
'ferent materials today. A fou-
lard gown for example, is com
bined with serge and a wooden
frock with leather.
Furs already have. begun to
disappear. On warm days the
furs are replaced now by remark
able velvet and ribbon novelties
which have certain quaint and
old time air.

Coat of Arms of the Royal Borough
of Manchester. At the bottom of the
card is a picture of the Manchester,
England Town Hall.
When the dignified card was re-

deal Of comment, because of the .un-
warranted dignity attached to the adj

Edgar NJ. Lenfest, first selectman of
the town of Manchester, it being de-
cided that Mr.. Lenfest perhaps, in his
office, approached as nearly the par

1t might no doubt be n distinct
shock to the dignified lord mayor of
Manchester, England, if he could see

time of year. when the town is buried
in snow and has almost completely
lost its identity. But if he should

Palestine Census Completed

Jerusalem, Feb. 9 (Mail)-Pales-
tine has total population Of 1912,
according to the figures Of the census
of three months ago. This figure
equals approximately the population
of the city Of Boston as given by the
official count in 1920. Ten per cent.
of the people in Palestine are given
as Christian; II per cent. as Jews,
and 70 per cent. as Mohammedans.
The figures for Christians and Jews
are regarded here as about correct,
but there was such strong opposition
to the census on the part OF the Mo-
hammedans that their number prob
ably is considerably underestimated.
In two cities only is there pre-
ponderent Jewish population, Jeru-
salem and Tiberias. In the former,
out of a total of $4,000. $4,000 are de-
scended from Abraham and the ball
ance are about equally divided be-,
tween the followers of Jesus and the
prophet Of Mecca. II. WA
1t is interesting to note that Beth
lehem is the only town in the land in
which Christians predominant. Here
there are $3.50 of this faith, s1S Mo-
hammedans and two Jews. Nazareth
has Z population Of 1924. Of which
