ItlClOses In Blaze Of Glory And Fireworks And A Grand
 Carnival
Automobile Race Proves Thrilling Affair While The Broncho Busting Was Witnessed By
 Several Thousand People

Edna Troutz second and Ava Shipp third. Over a dozen young misses entered for this event.
 Boys under 12 years of age then came along for a dash of 100 yards. Mall Farley was the winner, Harry Behn second ana Harold Pettingill third.
 In a free-for-all dash, considerable excitement was prevailing from the age of the youths and their fleet feet. Dan Sidell clipped off the IOt yards at a rapid pace, followed close ly by Clarence Moffett and Dan Bur ton came in third.
 In all of these events, there was not a murmur over decisions, and a pleasing feature of the two days contests, was the absence of any ill., will between the scores of young contestants.
 In the boys sports of the forenoon the arrangements for the kids were conducted by J. H. Robinson and Neill Clark, both of whom performed satisfactory service for the difficult work in handling So many contest ants. The boys of the city are de- lighted over the splendid considera- tion extended them this year, ano say this is the first celebration they have been so generously considered. All are happy and pleased.

WILL INSTALL CRUSHER.
CFrom Friday's Daily)

City Engineer Hall is drawing plans for the location of the new rock crusner for the city. and which is to be placed at a permanent site for immediate work, and which will be submitted to the Council next Monday evening for approval. After looking over many sites, that of the one located at the west end of Carle- ton street, at the point where Me Cormick interseets it, has been de- eided upon. The elevation is desir- able while the abundance a few feet distant of gray granite, will afford an inexhaustible supply of that com modity. A series of bins will be laid and from which chutes will deliver the stone to wagons below automat- ioally. The desire of the Street committee is to get the plant in op- eIation before the summer rains are over. Considerable delay has follow ed the operating of the plant through the selection of several points sub mitted to the city.

DR. REDEWILL'S CAR
 WINS AUTO RACE

Yesterday, for over an nour, Pres cOtt experienced the most thrilling period in its history. It was the speed contest in which three big autos were pitted against each other in a run of over fOrty-four miles, around the famous loop at Jerome Junction of the Prescott Auto Club. It was a contest in which speed and skill in the handling of the powerful engines were pitted against each other, and in which for the first time four nervy little women figured as participants in what or dinarily, men would shudder at. It was also a friendly contest, and the day will go down in the history of the Mountain City as one in which the hundreds of spectators had an experience that may properly be termed a touch of "high life" in automobiling.
 Leading up to this exhibition of skill and speed, the arrival in Pres colt of Dr. Redewill and W, D. Ire maine with their -Hartfords, a few days ago, from Phoenix, was the incentive to test their mechanical ability. To permit them to leave for Phoenix unehallenged, brought D. M. Clark to the front with his Buick, and soon the little rivalry was brought out in an open race along the celebrated course.
 It took but a few minutes to ar range the details. and through the generosity of Mir. Clark to go up against hard game of two one, so far as the type of a machine was to be considered, and the additional handicap that he had no regular racer on hand, but a good mountain vehicle, the big run was started right on the dot.
 The S. F., P. & P. depot was the center of operations in the beginning. and the bridge over Granite Creek was the terminal point.
 Clark took along W. E. Rhodes, and left exactly on the tick of the watch at 5:13. Ten minutes inter- vals were outlined, and at 5:23 Ire maine's black car shot out and start ed on. He got as far as the cross roads below Whipple, when "bang" went his big tire. He repaired the damage in exactly ten and one-half minutes. Redewill followed at 5:33, and then the race was on for all there was in it. It was a pretty combination of red, black and brown, and soon the air was ringing with the favorites of each car anticipating that their color would triumph.
 Clark passed tine Junction with seven minutes to spare, and Tremaine and Redewill were huddled close to each other in passing that point, the brown car leading.

Country Church.

ciation.l
~HE country church has a place
to fill in the rural community
that can be filed by nothing
else. In too many cases the
church has failed to make the most of
its opportunities. Its growth has not
kept pace with the growth of other
rural institutions.
The country church is too often a
mere imitation of the city church.
The church officers and the pastors do
not recognize that rural needs in re-
ligion are as distinctive as rural needs
in education. In the city there is room
for many churches and many denomina-
tons. In the country this is not the
case. One church is enough for any
country community, and Il is a large
village that can support more than
one The curse of denOminationalism
has been the ruin Of religious life in
many a rural community. From being
an exponent of peace the church too
often has become promoter of strife.
A spirit of friendly rivalry has devel-
Oped many times into a bitter fight be-
tween denominations. When churches

not so good as they had thought. The
boys were taught to judge corn and to
make termination boxes for testing
seed corn. They learned to pick out

which were the most to be feared.

THE COUNTRY CHURCH IS FACING A GREAT
OPPORTUNITY.
fight the devil gets his due. and too
often he has seized his opportunity to
baggage.
The cases where church differences
are carried to extremes are fortunately
comparatively rare. The worst part of
the division into denominations is
found usually in the division of church
support. A community that could sup
port one thriving church divides its en-
ergies among half a dozen. The only
bass singer is Presbyterian perhaps.
and the soprano is Methodist and the
rest of the choir are Baptists. AS a
result the singing in all the churches
is minus quantity, or nearly so. The
only good Sunday school snperintend-
all the good teachers belong to anoth-
err AS result all the Sunday schools
lead precarious existence.
One of the worst effects is seen in
the social life of the community. The
country church should be the center
of rural social life. Where several
weak churches have taken the place of
one strong church this is impossible.
A free mingling of all the people in
the community on an equal basis is
interfered with
Another of the evils of denomina-
tionalism is the division of financial
support When the money that might
support one strong church is divided
among two or three the results are
disastrous The first effect is seen
in the quality of the preachers. The
salaries which the divided churches
can afford to pay will attract only the
poorest class of preachers. Often two
or three towns are Joined together and
one preacher provided for all. He
must spend a large share of his time
travelling. and his only influence in
the community is that which he eX-
erts from the pulpit on Sunday. If
instead of giving one preacher three
churches in different towns he were
given the three in the same town. he
would have more time to give to his
people
In essentials the different churches
have the same belief. Rural people
want the plain. simple religion of
Jesus Christ They have no time to
split hairs over fancied differences Of
creed Few of them know the creed
of the church to which they belong
or whether it has creed or not. The
Bible Is creed enough for them.
The increased financial support which
the consolidated church receives
means better building. better lights.
more money for the Sunday school
and. above all better preacher
This last is the most difficult point
Ideal preachers for rural churches are
difficult to secure. The theological
schools do not recognize the country
church as having needs that differ
from those of the city church. The
pastor who is sent 20 the country

Try church as stepping stone to

1t is little wonder that preacher
with no sympathy with the problems

the highest success. He gives the peo-

life must be most manifest in the
school. The fault is not primarily
with the teacher, but with the system
The chief fault with the rural schools
is that there are too many of them.
In Iowa there are 27S schools with few
err than five pupils each. There are
1888 schools with an average of fewer
than ten pupils. The schools have been
established with the idea of numbers
rather than quality. There is a school
house every two miles with mOnOtO-
nous regularity, whether there are any
pupils or not. Under such conditions
a large share of the school funds is
used in maintaining the small schools.
The result is cheap teachers, poor
schoOhouses and meager equipment.
The most advanced rural cOmmuni-
ties are getting around this difficulty
by consolidation. In some places two
schools are brought together, in others
three or four or half a dozen. One
good, well equipped schoOlhouse takes
the place of several poor ones Fewer
teachers are needed, and the money
can be used to hire better ones. A plot
of ground can be purchased for a
school garden, and the schoolhouse
can have trees and lawn.
Local pride has been one of the OBJ
stacleS in the way of consolidation.
The patrons of a school district dislike
70 har hni fol W
even though there are but two or three
pupils of school age in the district.
Local pride is a cOmmendable thing.
There is just as much local pride in a
consolidated district, but it is little
wider in its scope. The pride based
upon a modern consolidated school has
much more foundation than the pride
that objects to having a dilapidated
poorly attended schoolhouSe removed
The question of getting pupils to and
from school has been troublesome
one in some localities. The coming of
better roads is doing much to solve
that. Even in the largest consolidat
ed school districts the bulk of the pu-
pills are within two or three miles of
the schoolhOuse. Often stables are pro-
vided near the schoolhOuse, where the
pupils from the corners of the district
can keep their horses. More often the
children are hauled in covered wagons
at the expense of the district.
The consolidated rural schools are
developing a system Of education all
their own They are no longer imi-
tators of the city schools. They are
of the country and for the country.
Objection has been made to the intro
duction of agriculture into the rural
schools on the ground that the courses
are already crowded. There Is some
ground for this objection ID the old
fashioned district school. In the con
solidated school better grading is pos
sible. the pupils learn thing well
when they go over it. and endless
repetition is unnecessary. Every one
who has attended district school re-
members the endless routine of seiec

schoolhouse. Obviously the problem of
education for country life is the prob
lem of the district school.
The problem of the increasing cost
of living is not so much to be solved
by raising more corn and hogs as it is
by raising better boys and girls. A
crop of boys and girls brought up to
love the country and appreciate it's

There are too few real country

There are too many limitations of town
schools. Too many of the teachers are
girls from town. They come out on
Monday morning and go back on Fri
day night. They have none Of the
spirit of the country, and they endure
the country school for the meager
wages they receive. They are longing
for the day when they may get posi-
