Food Regulation In America.

The food administration last week
began the daily publication Of whole
sale prices Of prime commodities so
that the housewives might know what
the retailer should ask. But the con
sumers speedily found out they could
not buy at the suggested reasonable
prices The retailer said the whole
saler was to blame In that he was not
coming down TO the figures set by Mr..
Hoover and his aids. The licensing of
wholesalers goes into effect on Novem-
Der /, however, and thereafter II will
be easy TO bring the bulky ones to
terms. The National Association OF
Wholesale Grocers met in Chicago and
pledged itself to the support OF the nd
mnistration regardless Of diminishing
profits, so the outlook for the consumer
is bright
Throughout the country generally
there is evidenced a desire to conform
to the regulation for one wheatless and

The Printer

When you get right down to the printer s
point you will 6nd that the printer is the
Jack of all Trades.
When boy enters the printing Office he
becomes the devil. Then he becomes the
baker when he makes lots of pies, then he
enters into the tailor business as he goes on
doing lot of press work. He next goes
into the egg business when he goes on the
cases, then to the poultry business when he
gets to setting. He then becomes the mason
doing all the stone work in the shop; then
an actor when he learns the makeup. He
next becomes a carpenter and does fine work
with furniture; then wallpaper hanger
when he gets to laying out the border;
Then thief when ne gets to steel furniture,
then to an undertaken when he puts the
worn out type in the hell box. Then to the
banker when he gets to laying away quoins,
and goes home to become a plumber having
many pipe dreams.-Er.

Must Fit the Job

Every young man going out into the
world to seek employment must remember,
that one of the most important things he
must learn is to make himself fit the job.
There is nothing in the world requiring
energy and patience that really agrees with
one at first. Schooldays are pleasant only
when they are a memory. If the mountain
won't come to you, you must 60 to the
mountain. The business mountain, the
job, the atmosphere of the Office will never
rush to meet the beginner. 1t is up to the
beginner to meet the mountain. And he
will have to do il quick or someone will
step in and take his place.
If you are willing to learn, willing to
adapt yourself, then size up your job, the
atmosphere of the place, and try to make
yourself at home there as soon as possible.
Try to fit in, to become part of your
surroundings. If you cannot do that, if
you find that you will never fit in where
you are, then be fair to your employer and
still more fair to yourself and quit your job.
After while you will find something that
will suit you better and you will find your
place and your work.-Er.

Leaves From, Our Poets.
The Old Grand Army Man


Who is that quiet, white haired man, whose
every movement shows
That his remaining years are few, fast
drawing to close, r
Whose modest, manly bearing and whose
calm and steadfast eye
Mark him as one who for the right would
do and care and die!
He is an old Grand Army Man, whose
record shall remain
Forever upon honor's roll without blot
or stain;
A man who heard and needed, in dark days,
his country's call.
And responded with willingness to sacrifice
his all.
Twas not in quest of glory that he marched
forth to the field,
But freedoms stirring story to his mind and
heart appealed,
And upon his lcountry's altar he laid all he
had to give,
Prepared to die, if need be, that the govern
ment might live.
His story is unfolded by the button on his
breast,
Which marks him as member ofthe bravest
and the best,
The noble men who, side by side, stood
fearless, firm and true
For freedom and for equal rights-the red,
the white. the blue.
His earthly race is almost run, the shadows
round him close;
Soon to his weary frame will come the last,
long, sweet repose,
And in the great hereafter in high heaven S
exalted plan,
There will be seat of honor for the old
Grand Army Man.

Invocation

OThou whose equal purpose runs
In drops of rain or streams of sun
And with soft compulsion rolls
The green earth on her snowy poles;
o Thou who keepest in thy ken
The times of flowers, the dooms of men
Stretch out mighty wing above
Be tender to the land we love
If all the huddlers from the storm
Have found the hearthstone wideand warm
If she has made men free and glad,
Sharing with all, the goods she had;
If she has blown the very dust
From her bright balance to be just,
Oh, spread a mighty wing above
Be tender to the land we love-!
When in the dark eternal tower
The star clock strikes her trial hour,
And for her help no more avail
Her sea- blue shield, her mouptain mail,
But sweeping wide, from Gulf to Lakes.
The battle on her forehead breaks,
Throw Thou thunderous wing above
Be lighting for the land we love!
