Be Patient

Be patient when the days are
hot; cold weather soon will hit
the spot, with snow and sleet
and kindred rot; be patient. 1t
does no good to human hicks to
rant and kick against hard ticks !;
it will not help them from fix !;
be patient. In times like these
things are upset, but it won't
help to fume and fret; serenity's
the one best bet; be patient.
What if a soupbone costs you
more, if prunes are dearer at the
store? They can't be cheapened
by a roar; be patient. What if
the meas1y prohteer is growing
richer every year? The day of
wrath for him is near: be pa
tient. What if there are abuse
and wrong, until men cry, "Oh,
Lord, how long?" The arm of
retribution's strong; be patient.
There's no occasion for despair ;
if night is dark, the mornings
fair, and things are right side up
with care; be patient. It's vain
to hunt around for grief; it's
vain to rend your rags and beef;
if things are tough, there comes
relief; be patient. These are the
times that try the soul; the
cheap skates with themselves
condole; the brave boys laugh
When in the hole; be patient.
Oh, grin and bear whatever load
you have to pack along the road,
and hang a flag on your abode;
be patient. WALT MASON.

INSPECTION FORCE
Success of Work at Center
Market Prompts Extension
of Service to Public.

So noticeable have been the results
since assignment of an inspector OF
the food administration staff at Center
market. Louisiana avenue and the
farmers lines in that section, that the
District administrator has decided to
make similar assignments at other
markets in Washington.
Just how many of these special
market inspectors will be assigned is
not known. The number will depend
almost entirely upon the amount of
money necessary for this purpose that
can be spared from the local admin
istration's appropriation.
Neither has the administrator de-
termined which markets will be Sc
lected for this close inspection work.
The administrator is positive,
though, that by having a representa-
tive of his administration on hand
every day during the working hours
of the various markets much good
can be accomplished. especially in the
matter of protecting the consumers
interests and in the further educa-
ton of the food dealers in the neces-
sity for closer cooperation with the
food administration.
