A PLACE in the sun for Alabama. "A That is the slogan adopted by the Alabama division of the Travellers Pro- tective Association, and they have gone about the work of putting the state in the spotlight with a vigOr and intelligence that spells success.
 The T. P. A. s can put the state in the sunshine of publicity all over the United States if any agency can do It. The or ganization is composed of men who are accustomed to boosting, to building up, to reaching out for business. They know how to get business and publicity.

 To merely outline all the things they are doing and will do to advertise Ala bama would require several columns of this newspaper. Suffice to say that they are leaving nothing undone that would tend to make their project a success
 
 Under the able direction of Samuel Bowman and w. R. Mabry, who have been giving the greater part of their time the past several weeks to working out the programme and getting things in shape, all the lnotty problems have been solved and foundations laid for the greatest pub licity campaign ever undertaken in the ln- terest of any state
 The Travellers Protective Association are doing this work for love of state. They will not receive penny by way of com pensation for their services. The only compensation they expect or hope for is the satisfaction of knowing that they have contributed their part towards the up- building of their state and that is satis- faction and glory enough for them.
