APPLICATIONS OUT
 TO EX SERVICE MEN
Five Hundred Blanks Distribu- ted From Headquarters Friday

Distribution of adjusted compensation applications got under way at American Legion headquarters on the first floor of the national guard armory at 9 o'clock Friday morning, and during the day 300 applications were given out. Applications may be secured from 8 80 q. m. Saturday until 8 80 D. m., and Sunday beginning at 1 80 D. m.
 For the convenience of ex-service men who have not facilities for making out applications, Birmingham post No. 1 has provided three stenographers who are rapidly becoming experts on the bonus question and are permitting them to charge 25 cents per application for making them out. The stenographer will complete applications in every de- tail, including finger prints.
 Before requesting blanks ex-service men are urged to fill out the registra- tion card, the purpose of which is to complete the ex-service mailing list in the Birmingham district, and to fa- cilitate tracing applications in case they become lost or otherwise unac- counted for.
 Due to a misunderstanding, it was re- ported that the post office department and the American Red ClSss would distribute applications. This, however, is incorrect. The American Legion headquarters is the only agency in the Birmingham district handling these ap- plications.
 Ex-service men are urged to assist Birmingham post No. 1 in it's efforts ito serve them by paying their dues in the American Legion.
