Well, I think that-it's my understanding was that they picke to begin with they divided up, as I mentioned using the ection lines and the roads t and then they would cut together there, o that they agreed that one would be equal to another. If there was more grazing land on one, or good farm land or something of the kind, that would cut down the acreage. If it wa mo tly more or le worth le brushland, they got more acre . And o they would move over a quarter ection or half ection to where they plit between them. o before they put the number in th r the letter in the-hat, they agreed that thi one wa qual in value to that on . While one might only have 900 acr , another one have I 700 acre they each felt that that would be equal. o then when they pulled out, why whichever one they pulled out that wa it.

She can't even really open the Girls Club yet. 01 :16And so they were then she quit or something that she never did anything.

I take my boys and we would go down and the library was, I think, on the corner Roosevelt. Now at that time in a little house. 01 :43The books were not all on the shelf. They were on the floor. They were sideways. They were pile up and you had to really search to find books room leaning over sideways off the floor.
