Ii Is perfectly lcgiti- mate for you to have a commission If you help them introduce or advertise any special brand of groceries, or if you secure them customers. Your patrons will ask you what brand of coffee, what havoring extracts, what flour, where you get good cream. eggs, butter and so on. Do. not think the dealers will propose giving you a commission or low rates unless you ask 1t. Make list of the clubs and societies which may be- come patrons and s-nd them your an- nohncement.

All you can do is to try and Reep the kitchen and dining-room arrangements in your own hands and those of your head assistants. Coach these assistants 10 guide the amateur waitresses, giving each particular duty, keeping order and system in sup plying dishes and food. This is vital. especially If the church IS serving a bus mess mems luncheon The great con- plaint heard at these IS that men have to wait too long to be served. that first corners are served beautifully with hot visnds, and that the next relays get cold food and scraps All this can be avoided if you have head enough to demand military precision. I know a iunchroom where two thousand business girls eat their lunchcons from haif-past eleven to two o'clock each day The kitchen space is smaller tliaa most of your kitchens and one woman is mana ger. Each girl as she enters goes to a table and takes plate. Then she passes to the warm table, where hot meats and vegetables are served to her; then she goes in turn to the breads, salads ard desserts. She passes by cashier. vino "sizes up" the amount of food on Ter plate and gives her a celluloid check. The girl places her plate on table and goes and gets her silver, paper napkin and water. tea, coffee, chocolate or milk. When she has finished shA takes her dishes to counter and pays the second cashier as she passes out. This is the simplest system imaginable and ono you can install in the church kitchen for the helpers.

IMPORTANT TO IRRIGATED DISTRICTS
Proposal to Sell Surplus Water to ASso-
cations or individuals

A favorable report has been made BY
the senate irrigation committee on +;
bill which, if enacted, probably viii
hasten the completion of large iniga.
ton works, especially in the state o.
Washington.
The bill provides, primarily, that the
secretary of the interior may sell the
surplus water from the government pro-
jects to irrigation districts or associa-
tons operating under the Carey act.
But it goes further, and stipulates
that the secretary OF the interior may
enter into agreements with private cap
ital to build storage and diversion
works to be utilized jointly on govern
ment and private projects.
Senator Jones is deeply interested in
this latter feature of the bill, as there
are many land owners in the Yakima
valley who say they are ready to supply
the capital to aid the government in
completing some of the storage works,
If the government will allow them to
use part of the water impounded in
government reservoirs.
The bill stipulates that water sold
under this act shall be disposed OF to
settlers at a price not above that paid
to the government, plus the actual cost
of getting the water from the govern
ment reservoirs onto private lands.
