V. S Weston, a former business
mn at Hartlngton, writes the Her
ald at that place the following letter
concerning our Congressman K. fc.
EVn"S! Washington, D. C, 1-9--20.
F. 1). Stone,
Hartington, Ncbr.,
Dear Mr, Stone:
I have just a few minutes to
cpare and simply want to express a
few impressions 1 have absorbed while
here. Congressman Evans Is the most
direct representative our people ol
Northeast Nebrsaka have had at ths
Beat of government at Washington.
I find him tqfoo thosamc keen, square,
democratic man among men here that
he was at home, busy at his work,
digging out the meat of questions
which come before him, then hewing
to the line, regardless of party or
friends, and standing for what he
sees to bo for the best Interests of
the people. Judge is measuring up
to the job and will make a place for
himself in Congress if he is not
kicked out because ho refuses to fa
vor some special interests as against
the interest of us all.
Yours very truly,
W. S. WESTON.

Hounded and driven for four years,
Laving seen their parents and relatives
slaughtered or worso by Turks and
Kurds and. themselves forced to beg,
- tatcal or do almost anything to eko out
(ho barest existence, these boys had
completely lost their moral senso when
they finally found refuge in the Near
East Jlcllcf orphanges.
The boys hud been clad In rags for
bo long that they had forgotten how to
take cars' of clothes. This was a tragedy
when th6 Near East Relief had need of
tevery pair ot Mioes and of every suit
of clothes for new boys constantly com
ing In.
Then tho boys were organized as
Hoy Scouts and given their uniforms.
,1'hey began to bo careful of their
school clothes as well as of their uni
forms. .! They had been so often hungry they
'bad come to steal without compuno
tlon. When they first cntored tho or-
S nonages they continued to steal. Ono
oy, stole a purso from Ids American
teacher. For two or three weeks after
ho became a Boy Scout ho was obvious
Syuueaiy. Ono day ho came to her

"I don't waitf to give It back," he

WHILE YOU WAIT
Fourth Largest Town in Alabami
Full Grown in One Year.
HAD A MODEL GOVERNMENT
Permanent Settlement Around
U. S. Nitrate Plant Presented
Unusual Problems.
By GARRET SMITH.
The fourth largest city In Alabama,
peopled with 25,000 soul? of divers
races and religions, uprooted from far
scattered communities In every part
of the United States and Canada
sprung Into being almost overaignr
around the great new government am
monium nitrate plant down on the
open cotton and corn fields nt Muscle
Shoals on the Tennessee Blver during
the last year of the World War. Here
was a problem in city building, munic
ipal government nnd t continuity wel
fare that has seldom been equalled
and the success of its solution haa
never been excelled.
The Job was In the hands of the Air
Nitrates Corporation which had been
organized under the direction of the
Ordnance Department to build plant
and city at Muscle Shoals. Early In
January, 1018, this new town had a
few temporary buildings nnd a popu
lation of 800. This had Jumped by the
middle of August to more than 21,000.
A population multiplied by 70 In 7
months.
In the management of the new
towns and army cantonments that
sprang ,up during the wur the old
time evils that attended the growth ot
mushroom cities irnve been avoided
by the application of modern welfare
systems. But nowhere were condi
tions more difficult than at Muscle
Shoals. Here was a malarial region
threatened at the same time with
other deadly disease epidemics. Trans
portation was lacking. No nearby
labor was available and the general
labor shortage was at Its most acute
stage. Costs of labor and supplies
were leaping over night. Furthermore,
Muscle Shoals differed from all the
other new war towns inasmuch aa it
was to be permanent
New Government Devised.
The managers, besides city govern
ment, had to handle the entire retail
business of the town. A camp super
visor's department was put In charge
of the maintenance of all bulldMgs,
fire protection and sanitation. The
camp supervisor looked after .every
thing from the mending of a lock to
the remodeling of groups of buildings
or laying sewers or steam mains. For
the bachelor contingent a commissary
department was necessary;
The business department managed
the stores, canteens, motion picture
theaters, pool parlore, tailor shops,
dry cleaning establishments, barber
shops, newsstands, a hotel, a vegetable
farm and a hog farm where 1,000 hogs
were raised on tho wastes from eat
ing places. It maintained a slaughter
house where these hogs were put
through the regular packing house
course. It operated a laundry -which
cleaned 7,403 pieces a day. Then
there was a real estate department
that rented and. managed the family
quarters and a housing department
which assigned to quarters everybody
excepting the families.
Under separate Jurisdiction from ita
community director were the police.
The health department, In charge ot
a physician from New York city,
started with a small office In one of
the temporary buildings, and was
soon full grown and splendidly
'equipped. Conditions were favorable
to disease. The winter was tne
severest on record in northern Ala
bama. The men were compelled to
work either In deep snow or mud above
their knees. As u result a pneumonia
epidemic developed among the Negroes
that spring. Dater in the year a
typhoid epidemic was threatened.
Moreover, the site of the plant was In
the heart of the malaria district But
r tho pneumonia epidemic was checked,
the typhoid threat nipped In the bud,
und malaria stamped out
A Health Record Established .-,.
The Uttle first-aid hospital present
ly grew to a complete modern institu
tion with a nurses' home and a sep
arate dispensary for dental, eye, ear,
nose, throat genlto-urinary clinics and
a surgical dispensary for flret-ald
work.
During the eight months when the
death rate waB not affected by the in
fluenza nnd pneumonia epidemics the
general health rae was 12.4 per thou
sand per year, which is lower than Id
most cities in the same latitude and
climate, and tho pneumonia death rat
during the epidemic was lower than
in most army cantonments.
Much of tho success of the health
administration is due to the establish,
ment of the Muscle Shoals sanitary
district by the United Stales Public
Health Service.
The education and welfare depart
ment also had a vital work to perform, j
