 STATEMENT MADE
Patriotic Men and Women Serve Without Compensa- tiOn to Make Nation 100
 Per Cent American

The work of the four-minute men has only fairly begun according to irforma- ton given out at state headquarters Of tho organization on the 2S floor of the Jefferson County Bany building, and the organization promised to be of per anent usefulness to the state and na- ton, Alabama has 5000 speakers while there are more than 6oooo serving from the Atlantic to the Pacific coast and from Alaska to the Gulf of Mexico, These speakers have played a most important part in aiding the various nslional phil anthropie campaigns.
 Plans are being made by the organi- zation to have forum in every college school, church, theater, lodge, town hall and country hamlet, factory and de- partemnt stores.
 NO COMPENSATION
 Not speaker in the organization or the four minute men received dollar m personal compensation or reward and this fact marks the work of this body ot men and women as most unique and without a parallel in the annals of patriotic or phtlanthropic endeavor.
 With reference to the work of the four minute men the state headquarters al- nounces.
 "Our first great service lies in mak- ing this simon-pure, dyed-in-the-wool, nation-l00 per cent American! This means the banishinent of all hyphenated allegiance. The foreigner and those of his extraction must learn to respect the cherished institutions of government that give him home, livelihood and protec- ton. The seeds of sedition must be up- rooted from the minds and hearts ot those who are either hostile or indiffer- ent to the heritage for which successive generations have struggled. fought and bled. Publicity and persuasion are the greatest agencies to this end, and for this work we are splendidly equipped.
 PERIOD OF ADJUSTMENT
 The close of the war does but pre- cipitate the advent of an economic period of adjustment that is fraught with grave possibilities. Thinking men have this in mind and are seriously concerned over the problems that now demand a solu. ton.
 The ultimate demobilization of our ar. mics will mean millions of our boys returning home and seeking employment Munition plants will release additional hundreds of thousands who will be com pelled to look elsewhere for work at pos- sibly lower wage The laws of supply and demand will govern production and prices, and here again, momentous indus trial complications may develop, calling for the united efforts of all patriotic citi- zens and every agency of publicity mak- ing for the common welfare. dN
 ITO the conservation of American in- Stitutions and assist in this economic adjustment period the four-minute men of Alabama are pledged to render yeo- man service to our country and it's citi- zenship"

Smith of the local base- ball association While, of course, the expense of running the game now is very much more than in ordinary times. be- lieve that by next spring there will be such strong demand for the national pastime that we will be justified in start ing up the old Southern league once more." said MT. Smith yesterday.
 Transportation expenses will be about s5 per cent above normal and hotel bills much higher to say nothing of flthe com petition for players services, we will. have, by reason of higher wages paid every. where, but in spite of all these things think that at that meeting of Southern league moguls here next month it will be decided to resume baseball again next year."
 It will be recalled that the Southern league disbanded on June 2S of this year, 1t being the first circuit of any impor- tance to close on account of the war. Many of the players went into the service soon after the league dsbanded but a big mapority of them are still in camps irl this country and may be discharged in time to play next spring.

 Labor, which has been scarce, will be more plentiful when the thousands of men are released from the munitions plants and other industries engaged in strictly war work, and when the de- mobilization of the army begins it is believed that the labor shortage will be materially relieved. if it does not en- tirely disappear
