last Saturday was the great
est event ever held in Cool
idge nd the response and
enthusiasm far exceeded the
expectations of Coolidge citi-
zens. The welcome of the
Coolidge people was very
demonstrative to the large
crowd that thronged our
streets throughout the day
and far into the night.
They were here from ev-
cry hamlet and village, from
the cities, ranches and forks
of the creek.
Coolidge did herself proud
in preparing entertainment
which was appreciated by
the guests, and the different
committees deserve much
praise for the excellent man.
ner in which they perform
ed their tasks. making this
occasion one long to be re-
membered and with much
honor and benefit to Cool
idge.
The business men of Cool
idge are to be highly COM
mended for their financial
response that made this pro-
gram possible by their lib
erality which plainly indi-
Gated their hospitality to our
guests.
The program was carried
out as per schedule, which
had been announced and we
mention here some of the
prizes awarded in the differ
ent contests.
The parade was very beau
tiful and all participants
merit high praise. The first
prize was awarded to Mrs.
J. F. Eisenhart, who had the
Shady Nook flower float.
The second award went to
the Boy Scouts float.
In the goat roping contest
the first money went to FL
mer Carr, time 19 seconds;
second to Roland Curry, time
90 seconds; and Charles
Whitlow, third, in 22.2 sec
onds.
In the horseback tourna-
ment Tobe Dunegan won
first money and Charles
Whitlow second.
The ball game between the
champion Coolidge Cardin-
ais and the Tempe College
nine created quite an inter-
est and resulted in a victory
for the Cardinals.
The Sacaton Indian band
was an interesting feature of
the occasion and entertained
the crowd immensely with
their selections.
The boxing match, prellm-
| inaries and wrestling match
attracted quite a crowd OF
sport fans at the arena from
1900 to 900 p. m.
In response to an invita-
ton, Gov. Mouer wired wired
his regrets on account OF i'm
portant state matters; how
ever he managed to get here
at a late hour.
A very beautiful and ap-
propriate part of the pro-
gram was the presentation Of
magnificent birthday cake
by the Phoenix Chamber of
Commerce to Coolidge. Paul
Hobby accepted the cake as
Coolidge's representative.
Coolidge is very apprecia-
tive of the good will shown
by the Phoenix Chamber Of
Commerce and other Pnoe-
nix business men by their at
tendance and hearty express
sions of good will and coop
Grafton.
Another important feature
of the program was the in
teresting speeches made by
distinguished visitors and
Coolidge citizens on the
speakers platform prepared
for the occasion. The speak
ers were in accord that in
the next ten years the popu-
lation would BIT $4,000 and
they have just cause for this
! speculation.

What manner of men were these "Fathers of the Republic"7 What was their preparation for their great work7 Under what circumstances did they bring Into ex- istence one of the most important charters of government in all history What did they think of the fruits of their labor after they had finished2
