 Among these is pamphlet prepared by the information bureau of the de- partment of civilian relief to be cir culated among selected men by the home service sections. It is entitled Before You Co.," and gives in succinct and lucid form the primary facts and principles needed for taking full ad- vantage of the war risk insurance law and the so- called civil rights bill
 large part of the difficulties In the administration of ths var risk insur- ance law thus far have been caused by misunderstanding which existed in spite of the energetic efforts maae by government authorities to make the whole matter plain to the people Home service sections have been busy in ex- blaming the law and in pushing through delayed allotments and allow ances almost from the beginning and have handled thousands of such cases to Q satisfactory completion
 Tn order that this work may be made easier by preparation in advance all selected men will be informed so far as possible by the home service sec tions as to the elements of the law. In this the home service workers will be supplementing the explanatory ma terial issuing from governmental agencies. The information is con. tained In the Before You Co., and every man who does not understand

hnest spirit to make the campaign an unqualified success in Uncle Sams Pa cific territories
 United States Nitrate Plant No at Muscle Shoals subscribed for $765, ,250 of the Fourth Liberty Bonds, an average child in the camp and 345 per cent above the quota allotted to the plant.
 COL. NORRIS STATEMENT
 This statement is made by Col E. B. Morris, editor of Nitrate News, the excellent camp publication issued from United States Nitrate Plant No ?. cor recting an interview sent out from the publicity headquarters of the United war work campaign wherein John D. Rather was quoted. In his letter to the pub licity director Col. E. B. Morris says:
 Tn the first place the Liberty Loan committee in Colbert county had noth- ing to do, whatever, with the campaign at this plant, and are not entitled to any part of the credit for the results accomplished. They did not furnish us with a single button or poster. We han dled our own publicity, had our own organization and conducted our cam paign independent of Colbert county"
 Colonel Morris says that the official quota allotted their plant by the Liberty Loan committee of Colbert county was $225, ,00O and not $220, ,0O0, and the com plete returns show that the plant sub scribed for s76525O and not $495,0oo, ss reported to you. Ills letter concludes:
 If you will kindly correct your cir cu,ar news letter to the press of Octo- Der 25, will greatly appreciate the favor and be very glad to publish it In the Nitrate News
 The state publicity director of the Uni ted war work campaign obtained the in terview with MT. John D. Rather to which Colonel Morris shows cause for objection. The director states that MT. Rather quoted the figures from the ni- trate plant from memory and his evil dent purpose was to show the patriotic spirit of the workers at the nitrate plant and not to praise the committee of Col bert county, of which he was the chair man.
