The days are growing hotter,

and as I ply my swatter I'm
feeling pretty tough. The solar

there's no surcease, and | am
slowly melting and swimming
in my grease. | overhaul the

and marvel at the curses | hand

surely nutty, when | such Ian
guage tossed !; his head is stuffed
with putty, who rails at snow
and frost. For winters whole
some rigors are good for man
and beast there are no flies and
chiggers on human limbs to
feast. Men sit before their
heaters, while loud the blizzard
rants, and there are no mos
keeters, no worm or bugs or
ants. From germproof Atha-
basca the wholesome breezes
blow; from ocean-washed Alas
ka comes down the healthful
snow. And yet when winters
flinging its blessings all around,
when we should all be singing,
we raise a doleful sound. Be
cause some ears are frosted, be-
cause a nose is peeled. the Ian
guage is exhausted, 50 bitterly
we've spelled. The days are
growing hotter, and hotter still,
my friends; as to my tasks | tot

roosting on my dome, and in the
arctic regions | fain would build
my home. WALT MASON.

POULTRY TWICE HIGHER
THAN IN ROCHESTER, N. Y.

In Washington fresh dressed poul
try retails at price 100 per cent
greater than in Rochester, n. Y, and
green goods at about 80 per cent,
according to n letter received by
the District food administrator. in
which the writer, a war worker. pro-
tests against what he terms excessive
food prices in this city.
Accompanying this letter of protest
was a printed lisi of various food
prices in Rochester. and in the major
ity of instances they were lower than
those quoted here. The most notice.
able difference in prices in the two
cities was that regarding fresh
dressed poultry. In Rochester the re-
tail price ranges from 80 to 34 cents
a pound, while in Washington it is G5
and in Rochester they sell six for 10
cents, and all other green goods are
in proportion.
Despite the fact that meat dealers
mere have quantities of fresh meat on
nand which would possibly have
spoiled had not the administra tor
lifted the meat ban this morning, the
administration does not anticipate any
material reduction in the price of beef.
number Of inquiries regarding a
possible reduction were received at
the administration today following
the administrators statement that the
meat dealers were overstocked with
beef and 1t was to prevent spoilage
that he was forced to allow a relaxa-
tion in the regulations.
| Hearings in the cases of two local
bakers charged with violating the
baking regulations, which were set
