CAPITAL TALKS
by
Peter
Edison

Every morning of the week, Maj.
Gen. Alexander d. Surles, chief of
the Army Bureau of Public Rela-
tions; Capt. Leland p Lovette,
chief of the Navy Office of Public
Relations, and Elmer Davis, direc-
tor of the Office of War Informa-
ton. get together in Mr.. Davis Of
flee in Washingtons new social
Security building. Sometimes one OF
the men from the services may get
tied up and send a subordinate, but
by and large, over the past two
months, attendance of the top men
themselves has been regular.
There are probably hundreds of
offices in washington where two
gents in uniform and a guy in
civies, or vice versa, get together
every day. But, this meeting of
Surles, Lovette and Davis is of
more Importance to newspaper
readers than other three-cornered
conferences because, at these
meetings, the war Information
the military and naval parts of it
to be given to the public-is here
reviewed, cut down, elaborated and
finally decided upon.
When communiques are issu-
ed later i'm the day, the SER
yices call I'M owl and read
off their pieces before they
are released. State Depart
ment does the same thing with
its releases.

MORE DENTISTS ARE
CALLED, TOO

Though less is heard of civilian
losses of dentists to the fighting
forces. their number is increasing.
And nothing is SO imperative, for
the facial animation which is the
whole key to charm nowadays, as
teeth which look and are healthy
and well-cared Tor. ..
Again, 1 won't insist on your get
ting shining white caps to hide
the couple of teeth which, although
sound inside, have discolored exter-
iors I won't suggest any of the
many things a dentist can do to
improve your mouths looks alone.
But healthy teeth are essential to
a healthy body, and you're entitled
to that. SO, check now before the
fall rush oyertakes you,

1T CAN HAPPEN HERE

There are people in Washington
who never thought the day would
come when they would see such
procedure. 1t wasn't thought pos
sible that the armed services or
the State Department would ever
listen to suggestions from anyone
on how they handled their public
relations. But that day has come
to pass an dwhilc it shouldn't be
misinterpreteo as any knuckling
under of TIN older departments
nor as any great vitcory for Mr..
Davis it does indicate that the
Office of War information has
made some headway in doing the
Jobs to which it was assigned
When Elmer Davis was named
director of war information in
mid-June, he got more free advice
on how to run his job than any
one who ever came to Washington.
He was warned about the high
handed Army and Navy. His fail
ure was predicted. In the two
months or more since Mr.. Davis
set up shop, he has been saving
considerable wood.
His self appointed advisers
have in this interval laid off,

grateful. But no one in any
government job is immune to
criticism for long.
Already there have appeared
the first blasts of criticism
against Office of War InfOrma-
ton for not telling everything
it knew. There will be more
criticism.
But to give Davis his due, lei
him make his own progress report
HOW'S ELMER DOM?
He reaches in desk drawer
and pulls out the executive order
creating his organization, listinG
the things it is supposed to do:
(A) to facilitate the de-
velopment of an informed and in
telligent understanding Of the pro-
gress of war effort and war pol
Mr.. Davis thinks he is making
little progress at that. The Solo
mon Island story was cleared much
faster than were the reports from
Coral Sea and Midway. The recent
statement from Owl DECLARING
that the United States was in this

issue a statement criticizing its
own efforts.

departments. .

The government handouts to 100
representative newspapers for one
week have been saved, collected
and are being analyzed.
(C) :" to issue directives
concerning war information which
shall be binding Upon federal de-
partments.
Nothing has as yet been done
about this. The Davis formula has
been TO get information depart
ments with conflicting interests to
iron out their difficulties before
sounding off, to reform them by
persuasion instead of by orders.

as to the most effective means
of keeping the public :. accu-

Mr.. Davis hopes you will
agree that something has been
done in that direction. He

According to the census Of 1914

Holmes County for cattle and calve
amounted to $76,266.0O. Secon'

The beef cattle phase Of agricul

the increase during the past six o.
" years due to the adaptabilit,
of the soil and climate of Holme.
County to livestock raising and also
to the good price farmers have beer
able to secure for surplus animals.
The livestock industry has beer
stimulated during the last two OF
three years through efforts on the
part Of leading stockmen in almost
every community by the purchase of
good breeding stock. The livestock
interest has brought about the build
ing of better pasture and the pro-
duction of more roughage for win
ter feeding.
A great many farmers are ferti-
lizing their pastures with recon-
mended minerals such as basic Stag.
lime and phosphate - along with
other practices such as running the
moving machine over, the pasture
two or three times during the graz
ing season and the addition of sew
eral adapted grasses and %clovers.
Where pastures have been improved
and properly managed they are TAX
{ ing care of three and four times
as many animals as previously.
It has been known by experienced
livestock men for many years that
silage made from sorghum is the
cheapest feed that can be provided
for beef and dairy cattle during
the winter months.
Some thirty odd All Club boys
in almost every community of Hol-
mes County are feeding out steer
calves for their first time this year.
Members of the Lexington Junior
Chamber of Commerce, Pickens Ro.
tary Club are sponsoring these boys.
These boys are not only learning the
principle involved in beef cattle pro-
duction, but are teaching their par
ents and neighbors the points in
management that must be coIsider-
ed in profitable livestock produc-
ton.
With the splendid livestockmen,
fine spirit of cooperation on the
part of the businessmen, the educa-
tional plan sponsored by the men,

All Club members, the splendid soil

the wonderful climate of Holmes
