Great Rush to Buy Bonds
 Follows Pageant Which
 Brings to Close Week of Intensive Campaigning

In a demonstration outdoing any thing of the kind ever before attempt ed in Arizona, the red -blooded men, women and children of Phoenix and the neighborinG valley last night joined in a spontaneous outburst of patriotic fervor as the concluding event of the third Liberty loan campaign, and in song and cheer and shout carried to the skies the message to the kaiser and his arch conspirators against the lib- erty of the world that these Arizonians were 100 per cent American and that they were ready with their boys and their dollars to back Uncle Sam to the limit in the winning of the war. By count there were over 5,700 n line. 1 With the state, county and city al | ready far lover the top the thousands who marched and shouted and sang last night made the occasion not only one of jollification for the fine record achieved, but a final, big, substantial boost to the already splendid total of bond subscriptions.
 Everybody Gets Into Game
 The whole city was out, and nearly the whole city was among the paraders. The people evidently took to heart the request of the committee that they get into the game" and not stand on the side lines. As a result, although there were many who viewed the pa rade from the street curb, yet they appeared to be in the minority. By actual count there were more than 5000 people who marched. The line of march was short-only about one mile and the head of the parade had reached the disbanding point before the last of the line had got into motion.
 The long line was a blaze of national colors, with the flag everywhere in .evi- dence. But the biggest show was the people. It was different from ordinary parades. The 100 per cent Americans were there. more in evidence than on any previous occasion of the kind. Banners proclaimed the fact, Whole families were in line. Many with ser vice flags proudly announced that son or brother or husband was with the colors. Aged men and women marched side by side with children. Men of wealth joined with the day laborers in making the parade patriotic pageant.
 Great Chorus Sings
 An especial feature of the parade was the singing by the big chorus un- der the direction of William Conrad Mills. This chorus marched behind the Indian School band and sang patri- otic songs during all the line of march. The others in the line and the people standing on the streets watching the parade caught the spirit and joined in the singing.
 The parade started shortly after : o'clock was divided into five divisions , each in charge of a marshal. Colonel James H. McClintock was the grand
 marshal. Besides the Pioneer band
