The once Of War Information Is

charges that Director Elmer Davis
is abusing his powers In furtherance
Of administration policies In general

Senator Robert A. Taft, r. o.,

Taft said.

They have learned to despise the
methods Of Goebbels in telling the

Roosevelt issued by owl and some

programs which are being produced

Davis disclosed responsibility fol
the cartoon project which TabeI
described as In the style OF the

cartoon pamphlet was In the works
long before Davis left his lucrative

summer to head owl.
Mark Sullivan, q veteran politi-
cal observer who Is not In the habit
Of giving the administration more

weekend column that Davis ex-

lean troops abroad had ended that
incident.
Everybody accepted Mr.. Davis
explanation" Sullivan added.
He continued, however, to discuss
the unique position OF the many
millions Of American troops who
will be overseas on election day next
year. 1t generally Is recognized here
that the machinery set up for their
participation In the election will be
perfected by November, 1914, and
that the soldiers, sailors and Mar
ines will vote.
Pointing out that the men over
seas will be In q kind Of political
vacuum" Sullivan suggested that
they would be dependent for their
POLITICAL thinking lagrely on the
special radio broadcasts devised or
supervised by government agencies
and sent to them by specially BEAM

COLD GROUND FATAL
Artificial heat for young chicks
should not be neglected, especially
at night, even IN seemingly hot
weather. Chicks on or near the
ground often become chilled ana

The backyard flock Of chickens
may be started at any time Of the
year by the purchase OF mature
birds. If Of a good laying strain,
such birds, however, involve a much
greater financial outlay than the
purchase of day-old chicks which
commercial hatcheries produce in
large numbers, especially In the
spring months.
The young chicks now are 50
we'll classified according to stand
and breeding, potential laying abil-
ity, and health that there Is rea-
SOnable assurance OF obtaining
chicks that will grow into excel
lent birds. Moreover, the purchase
OF young chicks involves a very
small expense for transportation.
Another advantage OF establish
ing a flock In the spring is the
abundance OF sunshine, which
helps to assure strong birds. Also
even under backyard and suburban
conditions, waste and surplus pro-
ducts from the home garden provide
supplemental feed, and gardens are
most productive while the sprina
chicks are growing. Whatever
foundation Is used-chicks or ma.
ture birds-the stock should be from
Q reliable hatchery or breed.
START EARLY, RAISE MORE
When q decision has been made
to begin the enterprise in the spring
no time should be lost In ordering
the desired chicks, or adult birds

Mostly to be the subject of a lot of bum jokes and much down-the-nose sniffing from the men in uniform.
