One of the biggest hits of the pa
rade was "One-ton" CLANCY, the big
humorous, good-natured kid of Eigh-
teenth street who only weighed 357
pounds but who marched every step
Of the way from the Paseo to the
Union Station and incidentally won
a hat full of money from lot of
boobs who said he couldn't do it. He
was given a great ovation all along
the line OF the parade.
More than 200 beautifully decorated
automobiles were in the Parade.
Among the Ministers marching on
foot were Drs. Thomas, Bacote,
Hurse, Osborne, Wells, Williams, Jen-
kins.
The singing of the marchers (sing-
ing as only Negroes CAM brought
round after round of applause in the
business district.
The address by Rev. DIR. J. w.
Hurse was the greatest ever deliv-
cred to drafted men here and it
brought storm OF applause as we'll
as a flood of tears.
The white people along the route
of the parade made many favorable
comments on the orderly conduct of
the paraders and their enthusiasm.
To ]. J. Mattjoy more than any
other man on earth belongs the credit
for the wonderful demonstration, he
alone having raised more than half
the money secured to finance it be-
side working day and night to COM
plete arrangements.
One of the handsomest cars in the
Parade was that of DR. and Mrs. Z.
c. Bunch and with the car containing
the officers of the Grand Chapter led
the Parade.

HUGH CAMPBELL
 OPPOSED TO LEASE LAWS
Flagstaff, Ariz.,
 Oct. 10, 1918

To the Editor.
 Williams, News,
 Williams, Ari. z My Dear Sir:
 I have just returned from the eastern part of the county and every indication is favor able to my election, by an over whelming majority, but occas' ionally I meet rancher or farmer who does not fully un- derstand my position on the Lease Land Law. This is quite surprise to me, as 1 was a member of the Legislature and one of the committee that drew up our present land law, and am in favor of it, as it now stands, without any change whatever, as the law amply provides protection for the State and gives every oppor- tunity for our returning soldiers the stockman and the farmer, to procure State land.
 At every general election, the State Land Board is elected by the people, and when, in the opinion of this Board. a change is necessary or desirable, the Board should as matter of duty to the people who have elected them, make such rec omendations as they may deem advisable.
 I want to assure the smaller stockmen and farmers that they need have no fear of the posi- ton I will take on the Leas9 Law or any other law, if I am elected to the Senate. They have nothing that want except their good will. I would much rather help them in every way to make conditions better for them, and under no circumstan- ces would I support or stand for any law that would be de- trimental to their interests.
 I am
 Very respectfully yours,
 HUGH E. CAMPBELL P. s. A copy of the Arizona Land Laws can be procured from, the State Land Commis- sioner at Phoenix, on request.

Leroy Williams, who enlisted in the Marines last fall, will be grieved to learn of his death in the hospital at Brooklyn, N. Y, on last Sunday, October 9th. Death is reported due to Span ish influenza which resulted in pnuemonia. The parents of the young man, who died in his country's service are now locat- eda t Gibson, New Mexico.

 Williams, Arizona.
 Friend Frank,
 Received your welcome letter a few days ago so will try and answer. Have been under quar- antine ever since we got here and now this influenza has the whole camp under quarantine. Don't know how long it will last. Seems to be pretty bad, we have lost seven men out of this company and still have sev- eral in the hospital. There have been about four hundred die out of seven or eigth thousand. I don't think any of the Will Hams boys have it tho--at least I haven't heard of it.
 don't know for sure whether we will go across this winter or not, as they say no more troops go over after the fifteenth, and from the looks of the papers they won't need us for awhile. don't think you have any cause to worry about being called as this thing can't last much long CT at the worst.
 You must be having some cool weather there by this time. The nights get pretty cool here. Have you been out after the ducks yet? Saw some of the boys day or two ago, and they send their best regards. < *...

SEEMS EVERYONE
HEARD ABOUT 1T
All want to try new drug that
dries up corns 20 they
lift out.

~Iood news spreads rapidly and drug
giSts here are kept busy dispensing
freezone, the ether discovery of a Gin
cinnati man which is said to loosen
any corn SO it lifts out with the fingers.
Ask at any pharmacy for quarter
ounce of freezone, which will cost very
little. but is said to be sufficient to rid
ones feet of every hard or soft corn or
callus.
You apply just a few drops on the
tender. aching corn and instantly the
soreness is relieved and soon the corn
is so shriveled that it lifts out without
pain It is a sticky substance which
dries when applied and never inflames
or even irritates the adjoining tissue.
This discovery will prevent thou
sands of deaths annually from lock- jaw
and infection heretofore resulting
from the suicidal habit of cutting
corns.-Adyertisem
