day in the celebration of the one
(, hundredth anniversary of the found
ing of the University of Virginia by

al thousand graduates of the

University. The Rev William Alex
ander Barr, d. D., dean of the Christ
Church Cathedral, New Orleans, was
the principal speaker at the opening
exercises. He was graduated from

Answer ing the criticism of histo-
rians who attributed Jefferson's ten
dency toward liberalism in religion as
a desire to break away from the es-
tablishod faith of the church, DR..
Barr said that in founding the univer-
sity jefferson, f.aimed NO blow at any
religious influence that might be fos-
tered by it,
The blow was at sectarianism on
ly." he said" at the religious tests
and shibbolcths which he conceived
as obstructing the most effective
work of an educational institution"
Fifty-threc classes were represent
ed at the exercises today, answering
the call of back to the old Rotunda.'
They were led by the members of the
class of 1853, of which there are thir-
teen survivors. The graduates called

Rules of Penitente
Sect. New Mexico

Albuquerque, New Mexico, May 81
A description of the Good Friday
rites of tho Penitente sect at
Abiauiu, New Mexico, is given by
Mrs Aida F. Sims of Albuquerque,
who was an eye witness of one of
these observances. 1t was at this
village that a party from Albuquer-
que saw two men tied to crosses this
year for % minutes, as the climax of
the rites. Mrs. Sims story started
with the arrival at the village.
The 'morada' or Penitente chapel
was easily picked out nesting on the
hillside" she said. 1--WE found a
woman Hghtings1S candles on a large
triangle of wood placed in front of
the altar. We could see that the
images of the saints and the figure of
Christ were draped in black.
THE women and the girls knelt in
front of the altar on strip of can
vas stretched upon the dirt floor, and

"The next morning we heard the

the 'pitero' or flute player, who

DREW LUMBER CO. PLAYED B|G PART IN. MESA'S REBUILDING

The F. P. Drew and Sons Lumber company, 43 West Main street, is one of the oldest business firms in Mesa having been established by F. F. Drew in 1897. Officers of the com pany are: r. P. Drew. president; N. B. Drew, vice-president, and C. L. L. Drew, secretary treasurer and manager.
 This firm has played an important part in the upbuilding of Mesa city. For many years it was the only lum- Der company in the city and has fur nished it's full share of the building materials used in the construction program. Then, too. members of the firm are large realty holders. many business blocks and residences of the city having been built by them.
 The company owns the building which it occupies. It also is build ing another business block on West Main street, east of Mcdonald, which will be ready for occupancy early in January, it is expected. Several other business blocks are owned by the company.
 In addition to its salesroom down. town, the company maintains yards on the Arizona Eastern railroad at Newell and Center streets. The company handles a complete line of paints, oils, glass, building hardware and building materials of all kinds. It also engages in the wood, coal and hay business. Tents are carried in stock.

thing when he starts in with us. We aim to pay him enough to live in fair degree of comfort. I usually pre- fer to underpay rather than overpay a man in our organization-so far as salary is concerned. When a man realizes that his future does not lie in just his salary, but in something bigger, he is wiling to work much harder than if he simply came with us because we paid a little, more salary than John Jones, down the street
 we start a man in as salesman behind the counter Then, before giving him an interest, we learn to know him and he learns to know us. If he is made of the right stuff and has character, the time will come when he will be placed in charge of store as manager, usually an off, shoot of the store where he has been working. Then the next time he changes he gets an interest in his first store. If he dosen't have the money, we are only too glad to loan it to him. If he is big success in that store. he can establish other stores in which he has an interest. Then his material fortune begins to accumulate.
 Furthermore, it will be seen that in our organization a man does not run the same risk of failure that he would if he had to start business on his own account There ss no chance of his being closed out, since he has always the backing of the corpora ton. We pay all the bills from our New York office and keep all the books there"

J. (. PENNEY MESA STORE SECOND ESTABLISHED BY ORGANIZATION IN STATE
IS ONE OF II RETAIL HOUSES IN ARI- IONA CONDUCTED BY NATION WIDE MERCANTILE COMP PANY Y- HARRY PRICE HAS BEEN MANAGER SINCE OPENING OF STORE

One of the most popular of all re- tail merchandising houses on the Southside is the Mesa store of the ,. c. Penny company, of which Kerry A. Price is the manager. This store has given residents of the Mesa district the benefit of the organiza- tion's tremendous purchasing power. Which is reflected ip the retail price Of wearing apparel and merchandise.
 The Mesa store was opened Sep tember IS. 1915, by Mr. Price. whose enterprising business methods have made his store one of the busiest shopping places in the Gateway city. The first store was located on the north side of West Main street in a store room IS feet wide by 40 feet long. Eight months later. business of the store had grown to such an extent that it became necessary to seek larger quarters, so MT. Price leased a store room on the south side of West Main, 25 feet wide and 153 feet long. This store is part of the present store.
 The new salesroom was opened in May, 1916. Here the store continued to flourish until last October, when need for additional floor space was felt. So a store room adjoining. 25 feet wide and 153 feet long, was added. There is a basement under all. where merchandise is stored
 The Penny store handles every thing in mems, women's and chi1dren's ready to-wear goods as well as a complete line of dry goods, general merchandise and shoes for men, women and children.
 The Mesa store is one of SIS oper- ated by the J. c. Penny company in 26 states of the United States. The first store was established at Kem- merer, Wyoming. in 1922. A little later the same year, a second store was established at Cokeville. Wyo. Store No, was opeEed at Murry, Utah, and Preston, Idaho. got the fourth store. From that city. expan- sion was rapid.

YOUNG MEN IF CHURCH HAVE
 MUTUAL ASS' N

The Young Mems Mutual Improve ment association of the L. ID. 5. church was organized in the year 1875 under the immediate instruction and direction of President Brigham Young. As the name implies, it is young mems association for mutual Improvement.
 The general purpose or aim of this organization is, first, to impress the youth with a testimony of the gospel of Jesus Christ; second to aid them in obtaining all useful knowledge; to teach the young people to preside over public assemblies; to express themselves before the public; to en- able them to study and practice re- ligious, civil. vocational, social, sci entific and educational affairs; and also to train them in all that per- tains to religious, moral, physical and intellectual advancement.
 There is no laudable excellence or enjoyment that the church does not foster and desire to promote among the young men of the community, and it's purpose in sustaining mu- tual improvement associations and charging them with the care of the young men, is to answer every desire of this nature, and to provide for the qualification of every legitimate am- bition and impulse to excel in these fields. without having to seek oppor- tunity elsewhere.
 The Young Mems association is divided into three groups for class instruction, and has to do with the boys from F to Is years in the junior department; IT to 21 years old in the senior department and 22 and over in the advance senior department The 1921-22 courses of study are: junior department, faith promoting pioneer stories; senior department practical religion and advance senior department, sources of joy and fac tors of happiness.
 To further promote mutual i'm provement as covered in the aim O organization. stated above, eacl member of these associations, O which there are eight in this stake O. divisional district of church govern ment, is required to participate a some time and in some way in tn preliminary exercises of the meeting held each Sunday evening. or in tn special activity programs which hay to do with debates-the drama. mu sical festivals, pagaentry, social eve nings. etc. These special activit. numbers are carried out cojoi- tr with the Young Ladies' Mutual I'm movement association.
