In its ranks will be nearly every fraternal, civic, school, and commercial organization in the city, to show that Phoenix realized what the Victory loan means and is be- hind it to the last dollar, and with them will march veterans of three wars, in their midst a detachment of Arizona's s own 15Sth, just back from overseas.
 The parade will start sharply at 7:30 o'clock, and as soon as it is over the downtown section will become vast series of meetings to boost the Victory loan over the top, with gigantic as- sembly at the bandstand and smaller meetings elsewhere
 The parade will march in seven huge divisins, and scattered through it will be four bands, two jazz wagons" and ! at least eighteen floats. Numbers of business houses as well as clubs and other organizations have entered floats, and keen competition is being shown in their design and general effectiveness.
