At a recent meeting Lieut.. Erwin
Jones was chosen chairman Of the local
organization and on application was
made for a charter for cole Miss"
post. In a telegram from the state
chairman, Fitz-Hugh, dated October
18th, 1t. Jones was advised that char
ter was being issued. An attempt
will be made to enroll every eligible
man in the student body and to form
one Of the largest posts in the State.
1t is important that every man be

largest possible number Of delegates
at the state convention to be held in

There is no argument necessary tc

in the American Legion is grea

greater ten years hence.

There was held a meeting Octobe

The purpose of the American Lee
gion is best explained by its consti-
tuition: "To uphold and defend the
constitution of the United States Of
America; to maintain law and order;
to foster and perpetuate one hundred
per cent. AmericaniSm, to preserve the
memory and incidents sof our asSo-
citation in the great war; to lnculcate
sense Of individual obligations to
the community, state and Nation; to
combat the autocracy of both the
classes and the masses; to make right
the master of might; to promote
peace and good will on earth; to safe
guard the principles of justice, free
dom and democracy; to consecrate and
satisfy our comradeship by our devo-
ton to mutual helpfulness."
1t has proven it's devotion to the
public during the recent disturbance
at Elaine, Ark, where several OF its
members laid down their lives in the
interest of peace and order. 1t has
proven it's devotion to the wounded
by vigorous attack on Congress:
which resulted in legislation which
adequately takes care Of the dis
abled ex-service men. 1t has proven
its general helpfulness to every ex
: service man by well equipped clu'
rooms, ready committees of doctor
and lawyers to aid where necessary
and employment organizations tina
deliver jobs instead of promises. l
has proven it's Americanism by tn
sudden departure of a number of un
desirable citizens for their nativ'
land.
