 The committee on entertainment will provide the fun and they assure the members of Post B and the guests of the U. c. T. and other travelling men that there will be swimming such as they never before enjoyed. Harry Todd is a member of this committee, and he says the fishing at Talladega Springs is the best to be had in the state Harry said he caught a 45-pound mackerel there one day last week with harpoon. He advises all disciples of the immortal i Izaac to bring along the rod. For the ladies there will be dancing, and the swimming pool, and any num- Der of other things of unusual interest. game of indoor baseball is planned, and it is understood that Hughes B.. Kennedy will organize a regular nine of the members of the U. c. T. for a real game on "sho 'nuf' diamond with a nine of the T. P. A. members who doubtless will be led by the doughty Jim Robinson, than whom there is no better "baseballer" to be found among the ranks of the travellers.
 Our own A. T. Baugh will be there to see that the ladies get all the ice cream necessary, for he is known as F. O. Harvey's first assistant, and MT. Har- veys reputation as a catrrer has spread even to the national meetings.
 The committee on arrangements for the big event is composed of J. E. Robinson, W. R. Mabry, F. o. Harvey and Frank M. Means. This committee will see to it that the proper musical aggregation will be on the train when it leaves Bir ningham, and that the music is on the grounds at Talladega springs.
 The railroad committee is headed by Henry Hiden and his assistants are G. E. Knapp, R. L. Linton, Harley Campbell and T. B. Marshall.
 The entertainment committee is com posed of J. w. Ashton, chairman; Harry Todd H. B. Kennedy, O. P. Fontaine, J. M. Williams, M. D. Benton. J. P. Palmer L. H. Cryer, H. E. Shropshire A. T. Baugh.

 The arrangements at Talladega Springs vey's reputation as caterer has spread understood that a motor launch will be placed at the disposal of the picnickers, and trips down to Lock F, IS miles down the river will be the order of the day.
 Much interest in the forthcoming bar becue is being manifested by travellers, and it is expected the crowd will be well above 250
 One of the interesting features of Sat urday nights meeting of the T. P. A. was telegram from Frank Means, dated Decatur, in which he said: "No lapses in Post H. Banquet tonight. Great enthusiasm. Wrote four today" MT. Means is state chairman of the membership committee, and his message meant that FOSC Ii IS on the honor roll of posts in the state. The Decatur post always has been rated as among the live wires. but it now is seeking sublime heights, and, what is better, is attain ing them. May success attend its ef- forts!
 R. L.. Fuller, Jr.. the four-year-old son of MT. and Mrs. R. L. Fuller has been displaced as the youngest member of Post B, T. P. A.. and is succeeded by Harley B. Campbell, Jr., age seven months. who not only is an enthusiastic booster of the T. P. A., but has written four applications. This latest addition to the cradle roll of Post B has won his spurs. and the members of the post are showering attentions upon him.
 A speck on the horizon, a cloud of dust. a smell of gasoline, and zip! Joe Champion has passed by in his brand new buzz wagon. Joe surely is getting over the ground with speed these days, although he doesn't move too fast to overlook any orders. His order book is proof of that.
