STATE LEGION
PLAYS PART IN
NATI0NALBODY
Has Been Effective in Getting
Legislation, Molumby
Tells Civilians.

Montana American Legion men,
while not in numbers of great weight
in national affairs, have had a promi-
nent place in molding the policies and
in gaining the ends of the national or
ganization, 10y J. Molumby, recently
elected state commander, told his fell
low members of the Great Falls Civilian
at the luncheon meeting Thursday aft
ernoon at the Hotel Rainbow.
From Montana came the first law
passed for the benefit of the former
service men," he said. This first law
for the aid of disabled men was APP
proved by the state convention at Liv-
~ingston where it was introduced and
sponsored by the Great Falls post dele
gates. From there. it went to the ma
tional convention and received its in
dorsement, later to be passed by con-
gress.
Sent Men to Washington
"In the Sweet bill, the second bill
passed for the service man, three divi-
sions were written in by the Montana
~legionaires. Unable to get these pro-
visions through the legislative commit
tee of the legion, we sent our W men
back to Washington. where they had
not only the legislators to convince,
but had to go up against the national
legislative committee headed by Wash
ington lawyers. The present idea OF
decentralization had it's inception in
Montana.
There has never been a national!
convention that the Montana delegation
has not made itself felt, that has not
felt the effect of the Montana organic
alton. We've always got our share of
the publicity by sending a bobcat to
Marshal Foch and by letting the con
vention know that Powder river flows
through Montana. They won't forget
that.
To Continue Active
I'VE intend to continue to take a
constructive part in the affairs of the
national organization. Well think of
something new before the next V
ton to make them know we are there"
Molunby then told of some of the
needs of the state organization. lie
said that the support through the
try and smaller towns was good and
that along the high line" the former
service men were in the organization
to the extent of 9S per cent. In the
larger towns. this united support is
lacking. be said.
DR.. f. NJ. Larson. president. spoke
a few words of appreciation of the
work of Molumby for the legion and
congratulated the legion and the Civil
tan on having him a part of their or
CARNATIONS.
The Human Side of Business was
the subject of a talk by II. J. Wise

need of them. We viii not be afraid to
call upon them. Your luncheon clubs
are doing the biggest thing in our
country today because you are human

and discovering that you're all regular
fellows. good scouts and capable of be-

Il tell business men to stay by their
guns and they will find business az it

that the old world is a hard taskmaster
