DAY IN PARKER
PATRIOTIC EXERCISES BY RED
CROSS SOCIETY HELD IN THE
AFTERNOON-122 REGISTERED
IN THIS PRECINCT.

Parker's young men responded no.
bly, to the call of their country Tues
day, and the registration of eligibles
to the selective draft exceeded all
expectations in this precinct. Sixty
two registered in town, and over
sixty registered at the Indian school.
So far as known there was not a
single Stacker in this part of north
ern Yuma county, and reports COM
ing from Bouse, Swansea, Wenden,
Salome, and other points in this end
of the county indicate that every
eligible presented himself before the
various registrars and said he was
ready for any emergency.
Over 80 per cent of those who
registered here presented themselves
for enrolment before noon. Not a
murmur was heard against the pro-
cedure, and many openly expressed
country if called upon. Red, white
and blue badges, with the printed
word, Registered were pinned on
the boys as they registered, by COM
mittee of ladies from the Parker Red
Cross.

Patriotic Exercises.
A large crowd assembled shortly
after 3 O'Clock in the afternoon in
front of the new Commercial hotel,
to hear the patriotic program arrang-
ed by the Parker branch of the Amer
ican Red Cross. An automobile pa
rade preceded the exercises, and was
participated in by nearly every auto
in town. A temporary platform was
erected opposite the hotel from
which several speakers delivered in
spring patriotic addresses.
The meeting was called to order
by Mrs. J. F. Raney, first vice-chair-
man of the Red Cross society, which
was followed by prayer by Rev.
Bockman. A choir of young girls,
dressed in the national colors, sang
several patriotic songs during the
exercises, which were received by
loud applause from the audience.
The first speaker of the afternoon
was Attorney F. NJ. Hall. His ad-
dress was a masterful presentation
of what American patriotism stands
for, and the lofty IDEAL Of those who
place liberty, truth and justice
above everything else He paid a
glowing tribute to President Wilson,
and commended him in his firm stand
for the perpetuity Of those ideals
held sacred by the American people.
Mr.. Hall was loudly applauded by
the audience.
Mrs. ]. E. Bush delivered a very
able speech on how women can aid
in the present conflict. She stated
that while women were opposed to
war. she believed that when the
crucial test shall come for the moth
ers of America to give up their loved
ones to their country they will be
found willing to make the sacrifice
as they have always done in the
past. Mrs. Bush encouraged the
boys who registered by many kind
words throughout her speech, and
at the conclusion of her remarks the
audience showed their appreciation
by prolonged applause.
The next speaker was Mrs. j. F.
Raney, and her remarks were greeted
with great applause. Mrs Raney
stated that while she favored honor
able peace among the nations of the
earth, she felt that war was justified
when forced upon us, and when the
liberties and principles of free Amer
lea were threatened by foreign foe
She exhorted those boys who regis
tered, that if they were called upon
to serve their country that they be
true to it's principles, and not shirk
their duty.
A. w. AthertOn made the closing
address He deplOred that he had
passed the age limit of usefulness
to serve in the trenches, and stated
to the boys who had registered that
they should appreciate the Opportun-
ity to serve their country. His
speech throughout was replete with
patriotic sentiments, and was receiv-
ed with great cheering by his
