a PRO- HUN Liz
npt to Assassinate Foch !"

Attempt to Assassinate Foch"
This and similar headlines SCREAMED
Fat the reading public the day after
Marshal Foch visited Pittsburgh. They
were over a story written by a reporter
for the International News the Hearst
service.
Marshal Foch was expected to leave
his train at the Pennsylvania station.
But at the last moment it was decided
to take him first through a big steel
plant on the outskirts Of the city, SO
he stopped there. This gave the re-
porter his hunch and he gave to his
papers an open and shut lie about how
the American Legion had unearthed a
plot on a tip from a French resident
Of Pittsburgh to assassinate Marshal
Foch, which accounted for the change
in his plans there.
The Hearst papers are so anti-Brit-
ish they have frequently been anti-ally
and pro-German. During the war they
got in bad in many cities. Today they
are doing their utmost to arouse the
jingoes in Japan and the United
States. Just why nobody knows yet
they pirate about how they stand for
peace.
Bitterly opposed to the british, it is
only natural they would like to see
something go wrong with the trip of
the distinguished leader Of the allied
armies. This spirit undoubtedly ac-
counts for one Of the blacklist lies that
the Hearst service ever published be-
cause there was not a scintilla of
truth in the report Of the attempt to
assa s{rata fhe marshal
There were u correspondents on the

UNIQUE IDEA IN LAND ALLoT-
MENTS.

For the first time in America, the
local citizens Of Jefferson. Texas, have
formed a community interest project,
styled the land settlement commission
Of the chamber of commerce, and have
boldly stepped forward with a con-
domination of the system of one land
owner holding thousands of acres in
idleness for speculation. BY the pres
sure Of public opinion already several
thousand acres Of such lands have
been placed with the land settlement
commission Of the chamber of COM
merce; and at the same time hundreds
Of acres of land in improved farms
have been placed with this commission
for making allotments to desirable set
tiers. No lands are offered to specu-
lators Features of the plan are aIlot-
ments best suited TO the wants of
homeseekers; small cash payments;
long time and low interest rates.
There is an advisory board working
free with new Corners, along with the
operative marketing associations,
making profitable marketing Of fruits,
truck crops and general farm products
certain.
Concerning this project in Texas
many of Americas big men have ex-
pressed themselves. w. "A. Sadd, pres
ident Of the savings division of Ameri
can Bankers association, says: 1T
will make contented people and I be-
lieve viii solve the question Of devel-
oping home life more than any other
proposition I have ever seen pre-
sented." u. S. Senator Morris Shep-
pard says: Nothing could be of more
fundamental value to America than a
movement Of this kind-and I trust
that it will spread throughout the
nation" E. w Kirkpatrick, president
Of Texas industrial congress. states:
1--WE commend this movement unre-
servedly." u. S. Congressman Eugene
Black states Marion county (Texas)
furnishes some fine opportunities for
home development-you plan seems to
be along entirely practical lines"
The land allotments of improved
farms and open lands will be made
Immediately, and already the commits
sion has hundreds OF earnest appli-
eants coming from over twenty differ
ent states; which bespeaks that such
project Of authentic representation is
favorable to the homeseeker as well
as to the community.

PARABLE OF THE PLAYTHlNGS.
The daughter of the daughter of
Keturah hath Cousins for and Ke-
turah we have other grandchildren.
But they live in other cities, so that
they see each other only in the Good
Old Summertime.
Now it came to pass on day that
the daughter of the daughter Of Ke-
turah and her little cousin, even the
small son of my son, they played to-
gether and for time all went very
happily. And so did it nearly all the
time.
But on this day they had played for
a time when there arose a mighty wall
from the son of my son. And when
their mothers entered, behold, the
daughter of the daughter of Keturah
had all the playthings, and she held
them high above the head Of her little
cousin.
And when Keturah and the wife OF
my son inquired concerning the trouble
and the little lad made loud lamenta-
ton, the daughter of the daughter Of
Keturah spake with great Conscious
ness of Virtue. And she said: I am
teaching my little cousin to be In
selfish.
That is one way to do It. and the
way in which it hath been done from
the days Of Eve down, albeit Keturah
knoweth not how to do it in that way
And | smiled much at the way in
which the daughter of the daughter of
Keturah taught her cousin to be un-
selfish, and I hoped that that method
of instruction would not become too
popular.
Nevertheless, there is something to
be said for it.
When my friends who have automo-
biles take me driving, and l own more
ears than any other man in town, then
do / comfort myself and say:
/ am not wholly to be censured for
thus cultivating good graces in the
lives of my neighbors. Too easily
might they grow Aristocratic, and
proud of their Privilege.
/ am a most Virtuous man in help
ing them to cultivate their generous
sentiments. They live the better and
enjoy life the more by reason of the
sharing of their good things. and I
will assist them in the distribution. I
am teaching my neighbors to be Tn
selfish.

ABOUT
LECION'S LEADER
Hanford MacNider Has EnviabIe Rec
ord in the World War, Receiving
Many Citations.
az The AasoeIated Press


MASON CITY. Iowa, Nov, 26.-Han-
ford MaeNider, the recently elected ma
tional commander of the American
legion, is known by his comrades as
smiling, dynamic, herman, possess
ing enormous energy-a man that
works hard and plays hard.
Masons City residents know him as
"the only child" of Mr.. and Mrs.
Charles H. MacNider.
Mr.. MacNider was born in Mason
City 80 years ago. He began his edu-
cation in the Mason City public schools,
continued his studies at Milton acad-
envy at Milton, Mass, and finished at
Harvard in 1911. Then for five years
he worked as teller in his fathers
bank here.
MacNider went to the Mexican Dor
der in 1916 as a first lieutenant in the
Iowa national guard. When the war
came he resigned his commission with
the national guard in order to attend
the first officers training camp at Fort
Smelling, in May, 1917. He was given
a provisional second lieutenancy in the
regular army and assigned to the ninth
infantry, which, with the twenty-third.
made up the regular army brigade Of
the second division.
Soon after arriving in France, in
September, 1917, Mr.. MacNider was
sent to the army candidates school at
Langres as an instructor. The service
at Langres was boresome. His old
division was on the battle front, win
ming honor after honor. In May, 1918,
MacNider was transferred back to the
Indian Heads division.
His record from then one can be re-
lated along with the campaigns Of the
Aisne, the Marine, the st. Mihiel and
two offensives in the Meuse- Argonne
He was promoted from platoon COM
mander to company commander, ma
jor and battalion commander, then
lieutenant colonel and regimentaI
commander.
MacNider was wounded at ST. Mihiel
and was honored with the distinguished
service cross and one cluster; chevalier
de legion d'honneur; croix de guerre,
with five citations. for bravery, five
palms, one gold and one silver star;
Fourragere and the Italian war cross.
He was given three citations in gem
eral orders.
After the armistice Lieutenant Col
oneI MacNider passed into the berth
of division adjutant and was mustered
out in September. 1919.
From September, 1920, to September
1921, MacNider was state commander
of the American legion in Iowa.
While holding the state office he ad-
vocated and saw enacted into a law a
legislative program including a sol
dier's bonus BILL bill giving ex-sol-
diers preference in public offices, and
a bill exempting veterans Of the world
war from taxes on personal property
up TO $500. He looked after the hos
pitalization of Iowa's disabled soldiers
and conducted a statewide service and
compensation drive.
MacNider stands feet II inches tall.
weighs 1s5 pounds. and is fond Of all
out-of-door athletics.
Mason City residents says his only
sweetheart is his mother. One half
hour after he was elected national
commander at Kansas City he was tell
ing her al about it over the long dis
lance telephone.

this, the team is fast becoming one
of the leading teams in West Florida.
Much credit for the good showing
of the team is due Prof. H. S. Bowden,
professor of the Milton high school.
This is the first season that the school
has organized basketball team and
it is due to his untiring efforts that
it has made such rapid progress.
Milton has played five games to
date, winning three and losing two. 1t
has defeated Century twice and Con
zalez once by decisive scores and has
lost games to DeF'uniak and Pensacola
by 1910 and 14-10, respectively. The
team will play several games with
strong opponents, and has every rea-
son to believe that it will win a ma
jority of them. The next game will
be played with the strong DeF'uniak
aggregation, Feb. %, on the home
court.
