HEAD OF AMERICAN LEGION
AT ARLINGTON NOV. 11TH
Atlanta, Ga.—The first official act
of Hanford MacNider, newly elected
national commander of the Ameri
can Legion, was his attendance at
the Armistice Hay ceremonies at
Arlington as represenlalive of the
majority of ex-service men in the
United Slaves. He will remain at
Washington during the disarma
ment conference. MacNider’s elec
tion has been approved by Legion
narins everyhwere. “He is exactly
the type of man we want to lead
us.” seems to be the unanimous
comment. The impressive things a
bout the new commander are that
he went into the army a buck priv
ate and came out a lieutenant colo
nel with 11 citations and nine decor- ~
a lions, that at the age of 32 ho is
head of a large banking business in •
lowa and that he is a “Harvard man
without the Harvard accent.” He
has been hailed everywhere as a-y
"real soldier.”
NOTICE—I am now located at the- -
barber shop near (lie depot and
will appreciate my old friends call
infl around for their barber work.—
