1 Enthusiasm was injected into the special meeting of the Loyal Order of Moose last evening, when virtual fly every member in attendance pledged assistance in carrying out the Moose part of the arrangements for the joint celebration with the United Spanish War Veterans of In dependence Day on Monday, July 5. The various subcommittees reported every arrangement progressing and ievery indication of the most success ful celebration in the history of Phoenix. It was pointed out that with every arrangement complete all that was needed was the cooperation on Monday of every member of the order to carry out the plans.
 Of course the big feature of the forenoon will be the parade. The ! Spanish War Veterans will be out in force, as will the National Guard Companies, the National Guard Ca dets the G. A.

It isn't so much the amount of the decorations as their real taste and beauty. Senator II. A Davis is chairman of the parade committee of The Moose and would like to hear from all persons intend : ing to enter cars in the parade. Even if he is not communicated with the machines should fall into line at the Armory at o'clock Monday morning. One of the features of the parade will be the presence of Uncle Sam, whose real identity is withheld for the present.

 ties and red socks. red and white be- ling the colors of the order. All Moose having pennants should bring them along.
 There will be no end of things doing at the park The big feature outside of the sports and the Moose Monte Carlo will be the badger fight and the family row. Either or both of these must be seen to be lappreciated The committee is pret- lty mum about the details of these two features preferring that the wis itors to Riverside Park on Monday judge for themselves whether they are receiving their moneys worth. w T Skidmore will have charge Of the badger fight and is training a ferocious dog for the contest.
 The committee of the Spanish War Veterans yesterday issued a call for all members of Phoenix Camp to be present at the Armory not later The parade will start at 9:30 o'clock but it is desired to have all the members on hand so that the parade will be formed and in readiness to start on time.
