Warming To the
 Public

There are number of promoters and promoting oil companies who are advertising their stock for sale to the people of this state without first hav- ing obtained permit to so do from the State Securities Commission of Alabama, as is required by law.
 These companies offering to sell their stock thus in Alabama without first having obtained permit are violating Section IS, the penalty sec tion of House Bill No 634 of the Alabama General Laws, 1919, by which the maximium penalty is fixed at $5,000 fine or seven years Tn the state penitentiary Were the pro- motors within the boundaries of this state, or should they ever at any time in the future come within the boun- daries of this state, criminal proceed ings twill be instituted against them.
 A list of all such companies, to- gether with the names and addresses of the officers of the various com panies and addresses of their pro- motors and sales organization, is now being prepared by this department in order that the offenders, in some fu- ture time, may be brought to justice.
 Most of the companies are rankest promotions.
 Because they advertise in the pa pers you may be misled into belley- ing that they have complied with the law and are reliable.
 This department has been assured of the cooperation by United States Attorney General Palmer at Wash ingtons
 A collection of all advertisements in the newspapers and prospectl and letters and circulars being sent through the mail to residents of the state of Alabama is being made, and it is the intention of this depart ment, in due time and as rapidly as possible, to have personal represen- tative visit the various properties of the vaious companies in Texas, Louls- jana, Kentucky and other states, rep resented as belonging to these va rious promoting companies, and Ii It is found that their advertisements and letters and prospect are not the truth in every respect, 1t is the lnten- ton of this department to assist Tn instituting federal prosecution.
 We are your servants, elected to enforce the laws, and are conscien- tiously trying to do so.
 It is estimated that the people of Alabama lose between $15,000,0O0 and $20,000,000 per year in invest ments in worthless promotion stock
 This law was passed by your rep resentatives to protect the public We give the people this notice and ask your cooperation. If you want to invest and speculate do so in a law abiding company.

Montgomery, Ala,
 March 27, 1920

Dear Sir:
 The Mid-Texas Petroleum Corpora tion of Fort Worth, Texas, up to the date hereof, is the only oil company who have complied with the laws of Alabama and who have been granted a permit to sell their stock in Ala bama.
 All other oil companies who are advertising in the papers and offering their stock for sale are violating Sec tion 13 of the Penalty Section of General Laws, 1919, by which the maximum penalty is fixed at seven years in the State Penitentiary and maximum fine of S5,000.
 Three arrests have already been made and 1t is the intention of this Department to vigorously prosecute to the fullest extent of the law the officers of all such companies that have not qualified and received per init from this Department as 1t is re- quired by law, and who are by ad- vertisement or otherwise offering their stock for sale to the public. The stock salesmen or stock selling agents of such companies will also be prose cuted wherever apprehended. This will be done rapidly as such officers come within the territorial jurisdic- ton of Alabama.
 You are hereby authorized to use this letter publicly for the informa- tion of the public.
 Yours truly,

 Executive Officer

Well. those Highlanders had the
whitewash brush applied again yes
terday, this time by the Celery Feds,
the scor being to 0. 1t was indeed
a heart-breaker for Red Crazy was
in superb form letting the visitors
down with only two little hngles and
still losing the game. Error was re-
sponsible for the defeat and 1t Is evil
dent that unless the pitchers receive
better support they will have time
winning. Another bad feature was
the weak attack the locals put In yes
terday's game. They played open ball
all the way through and had they
changed their style of attack probably
they might have torn up the visitors
defense and come out with victory.
But, never mind better days are
coming as the management will soon
have team In the field that will coin
games. Bugs Fry the prodigal will be

will give the old pill ride around the

Since last October the waterfront
strikes in New York, where the long
shoremen demanded an increase from
65 cents to 81 an hour and 81 an
hour for overtime have made serious
inroads on freight shipments. In
normal times the Atlantic and Gulf
ship lines land about $4,000 tons OF
freight week. For the last three
months the average has been about
$500 tons. The loss to New England
points too has been very large. This
has caused large losses to Florids

in Miami on July and 5. They
asked to come here for the state
meeting, the 1920 convention city not
having been selected at the meeting

Magic City would be glad to entertain
the veterans, and that every effort
will be put forth to show them$ Q ,
good time.
Mr.. Oak has not as yet been ad-
vised as to the number Of delegates
who will attend. but he is daily ex-
pecting detailed information. Until
the program has been made up the
local veterans will be unable to make
definite plans as to entertainment for
the visitors, but we will show them
good time and | know that all MI
amians will help us out in this. for

have been organized since. There are
40 members of John J. Pershing post.
It is expected that there will be about
