been no marked development work by its citizens. Before the declara- ton of war. an awakened pulse was shown in this city by many who de- sired to make 1t better place to live in -by building paved streets, install ing city lighting facilities. etc, but this work had to be set aside for the more important work of winning the war. Now that this has practically been accomplished, each and every ore in this city must awaken to the possibilities which have been placed at our disposal Conditions in Yava- pai county were never better than they are today. Mining, stock-rais- ing, farming and all other industries which have as hub the city of Pres colt, are flouriShing. With the big enterprise started at our door, for that is what the establishment of the post really amounts to insofar as the citizens of Prescott are concerned, here is. every reason 10 be optimistic for the outlook. The population of this community will be greatly in creased within the next twelve months and if Prescott's citizens arc alive to the situation they must see that their town grows proPortionately from a civic standpoint
 There IS a movement now in Pres colt to organize some plan whereby the accommodations which are daily demanded. can be supplied and this should be supported by everyone i'm terested in the welfare of the com .t.a Io .-I the citizens of Prescott have always .akcr as being able to meet any de- mand which was placed upon them.
 Major Coffin, constructing officer, and Mir. Morgan, the contractor at Whipple, are now in Washington on matters pertaining to the Post and they must be given the assurance of the citizens of Prescott that the mat ter of housing facilities will be taken care of by the people of Prescott. At the present time there are 313 en- listed men patients and four officers at the post Eleven officers families arc provided with quarters at the post and fourteen are living in Prescott with their families on account of there being no quarters at the hospi- toi Wllu dCCOullOOGIOUS TOT lHCll families. The present construction plans call for the building of 59 baild- ings, excluding transformer build iues, fire house, tanks, etc. On com plction, the capacity of the hospital will be as follows: Enlisted men pa licuts l,600; patients, officers l25; on duty, enlisted men, 450; officers, 50. This new construction will provide quarters for ten officers leaving forty to be provided for elsewhere. In ad- dition to these, there will be about fifty civilian employees for whom no accommodations are contemplated in the hospital buildings Patients sent here will average at least years residence, and there is every reason to believe that there will be large num- Der of families come here either to stay the entire period, or visits of more or less length. It IS therefore Up to the people of this community ,o come forward and construct the hOuSeS which are needed immediately.

inconspicuous, standing about two hundred yards from the road, that ninety-nine out of a hundred motor ists would have driven by without seeing it at all. The one hundredth would have seen merely a slight ele- vation in the muddy plain with two or three dark holes in the ground that might have been old shell crat- CTS or anything else.
 Dugout Almost Shell Proof.
 In reality the mud and grass cover ing was nothing but concealment of a thirty-foot 'ceiling" of reinforc- ed concrete, the black holes well camouflaged entrances leading down a sloping runway to the brilliance of the electrically lighted interior. So stoutly was the whole constructed than an enemy shell of big calibre would scarcely do more than chip off piece of the top, and no aviator's bomb could ever, even hitting direct ly, do much damage.
 Inside, parallel with the. road and traversing the length of the dugout, was a wide corridor-the ''main street. of the institution. in which the commanding general rubbed shoulders with the orderlies and mes sengers as they went from office to office off this main street led minor streets running to the rear and being used, for economy of space, as sleeping rooms for the enlisted men at night Artificial ventilation pro- vided for the constant purification of the whole dugout, and the smell throughout was clean and sweet.
 Off the small streets, and off the big one too, were the offices, con Structcd likewise for economy of space. Each was about ten feet wide and quite deep, with narrow tables running the length of the rooms at which sat the officers and their as sistants, working. working, all the time. answering the telephone every moment or so, giving instructions and receiving reports.
 Walls Nearly Sound Proof.
 Instead of having the operations department in one building. the in tciligence in another, and others scat tered in as many more, all were to- gcthcr, in offices with walls as near ly soundproof as possible. under ceiling just high enough to enable a tail man to walk or stand without Stooping, SO close together that moment could put one in touch with the other if necessary yet vastly far apart as far as any mutual or one sided disturbance was concerned.
 At the end of the big corridor was the kitchen. compact 10 the point of being a kitchenette When the cooks finished each meal the side streets could sudd rly be trans formed into little cozy dining rooms each with its long wooden table and narrow wooden benches. In less time than it takes to tell the gen erals mess was ready. the superior officers mess and all the others.
 No sound could penetrate the great concrete roof. and the great bonn bardment that opened the St Mihiel show could, not be heard. as an Associated Press correspondent who was there can attest. Yet outside the building the cannon were going great guns" and the whole night was laundering with the noise.

Make Your Table 1000 Wheatless

Never before has America faced so
tremendous a situation and been so
much in need of strong initiative by
her people, as we'll as by her leaders,
The Food Administration of the Unit
ed States is imploring US to go the
limit in wheat conservation for the
next four months.
For the sake of freedom and JUS
tice, for the sake of America and our
Allies we must save wheat to the ut
termost. To the hotels and restaur-
ants l say, get in the game. Quick
At a special meeting in Washington
Friday, 500 leading hotel men from
all parts of the country pledged them
selves absolutely to abolish the use of
wheat products in their hotels, until
the next harvest. We cannot ship
any corn across now for about two
months as this is the terminating
season for corn and it will not stand
shipment, therefore, if we are to feed
our own soldiers and those of our AL
lies for the next four months it must
be wheat.
Next weeks Monitor will contain
an item under this heading, which
should interest everyone in this coun-
ty. l wish that every family might
arrange to procure copy.
