are from this city. They have indi.
Gated a willingness to fight for Old

Why Not a Draft Parade?
Since it Is custom in many cities
now to hold a parade of all the young
men, 1t might be good idea to hold
parade of all the young men chosen
for the honored army that will be the
champions of democracy
Mayor Z. f. Bradford, when inter
viewed by reporter on the subject
stated that he was very much in favor
Of such parade. He suggest that
the parade be a part of the celebration
here Labor Day. 1t is hardly possible
that the young men called for the hon.
| ored army will be assigned to can.
tonment camps and 1t would not be
very difficult for all of the 262 the
quota from this district, to form in a
line sof march
This number would include on.y
those who passed examination ant
who have claimed no exemptions. II
some of the cities all the young mer
drafted have turned out in parade
