acre selected as the site for the
knoll overlooking the entire city and
surrounding country" said Mr.. John
fson. There are two possible sites,
but the smaller 4O-acre tract was
not as ideally located as the one rec
commended. The school when built,
will be few blocks from the largest
high school in the city and prac-
ticalIy all of Billings educational in
stitutions are located within a small
of the chosen plot Of ground. The
Commercial club, after the investiga-
ton by the normal committee, re-
ceived an option Of the land for
S25, 900 which is quite reasonable"
said Mr. johnson, when one com
siders the rapid growth Of Billings

at $4,000.
A Word for Dillon School
Frank Eliel, Of Dillon, summarized
the work Of the present state normal
Frank Eliel Of Dillon summarized
school at Dillon, and asked the MEM
bers Of the board and the Billings
delegates that southwestern Montana
should not beforgotten, if the new
school is built at Billings. ~Oln
existing plant should not be forgot
5en," said Mr.. Eliel, "and according
10 the committees report, 1850
should see 800 students enrolled at
Dillon and 700 at Billings, which
proves that our school should be
aiken care of concurrently as the
tate grows in population"
The board will draw up a resolu-
ion today thanking the committee
or the services rendered in choosing
he site for the new state institution.

LEGION TO SEEK
PERSH|NG As HEAD
Man Who Led Doughboys to
France in War May Do
Same in 1927.
BY ROBERT 7. SMALL.

CINCINNATI. May l9.-There is a
growing movement on foot to make
Gen. John j. Pershing the next na
tional commander of the American
Legion and to have him lead the
Legion arm which is to invade
France next year for a grand reunion
and celebration of the allied victory
1t is estimated by Legion officials
that at least 1000 former doughboys
and officers viii make the pilgrimage
across the sea. Never in all history
has there been a peace-time movement
to compare with this.
The banks of Cincinnati have start
ed duughbOy savings clubs on the
weekly deposit arrangement to enable
the former soldiers to finance their
trip. The clubs are along the same
line rs the Christmas savings funds
Hnd 1t is believed the Legion repre-
Sent1tiun in France will be largely
augmented if banks in othe" cities
follow the example set here
Acceptance Depends on Health.
Whether Gen. PerShin- can be in
duoed to accept the position as com
nandcr Of the Legion probably will
depend largely upon the state of his
health. which has been none too good

We all came up out OF the water,

But after the lizards or efts or al
