OPTIMISM KEYNOTE IF WESTERN TRADE
 DECLARES MANAGER

I am greatly impressed with the op- timism prevailing among the western trade.' declares J. R. Reilly, sales manager of the Goodyear Tire and Rubber company of California, after completing a 5000 mile swing around the circle" of the big tire eompany's western branches.
 MT. Reilly began his trip at Los An geles, visiting the branches as far north as Seattle, east through Spokane. Butte, Great Falls, Boise to Billings and back to the coast via Denver and Salt Lake, to gam first hand infor- nation concerning sales conditions in the west and to become better ac- quainted with the personnel of each branch organization.
 Crop conditions throughout the west are most encouraging, he says After having experienced three sue cessive years of crop failures in cer- tain sections, caused by hot waves and lack of rain, you can imagine the en- thusiasm of the farmers concerning their 1920 prospects. The July rains have helped things wonderfully and the crops have been exceptionally free from the usual summer pests.
 A slight business depression is evil dent in many localities and there has been some curtailment in buying all along the line, but this is in my judg ment only a temporary condition. par ticularly in the automobile and kin dred trades.
 The gasoline shortage in the north west, notably in Portland, Seattle and Spokane, has worked e great incon venience to passenger car owners and has had it's effect on automobile and tire sales, but with the clearing up of this shortage, which is bound to come shortly, better conditions will return.
 Farmers are planning improve ments, notably in their farm equip ment, including the purchase of auto mobile and trucks, and business men are depending on the farmer for his trade. So the whole thing harks back to the soil.
 Despite the difficult problems that have been encountered in our territory our sales organization has performed well, and this years business will run well ahead of last year"

MODEL CAFETERIA
 FUR EMPLOYES AT
 STUDEBAKER PLANT

What is declared to be the most ef- ficient and most modern industrial plant cafeteria system in operation in the country has just been opened at the new $20,0O0.000 factory of The Stude- baker Corporation in South Bend. Ind With a capacity for feeding 5000 em- ployes every fifteen minutes, it rivals the world famous American army sys- tenn for speed, and at the same time offers service and an assortment of delicacies.
 In addition to the main cafeteria. which accommodates 1,500 persons, there will be ten branch cafeterias in the various plant buildings, each with a capacity of approximately $50 em- ployes.
 A special feature of efficiency is the method of distributing food ready to serve in vacuum containers from the main cafeteria kitchens, where it is prepared. to the branches through out the factory. This plan makes it gest one dining hall. and saves Inen time by placing a restaurant near where they work
 Three meals a day are served, the cafeterias being operated by The Stakeholder Corporation on a non profit basis. As an indication of the low prices charged, soups are served TOT cents, meats TOT To cents, VeSe- tables for cents, salads for 10 cents. coffee for cents, ice cream for 5 cents, and home made pies for 8 cents. Although a full meal may be obtained at from 30 to 35 cents, figures show that the average lunch check is 4S cents.
 Some idea of the healthy appetites enjoyed by the Studebaker plant work CTS may be obtained from statistics showing that the average amount of food consumed by each 1000 men and women daily is: 330 pounds of meat. : bushels of potatoes, 1,500 biscuits or rolls, 30 loaves of bread, 90 pounds of butter, S5 pounds of sugar. 25 cases of milk in pint bottles, 120 pies, 800 in dividual orders of pork and beans.
 A wide variety of dishes is served st the cafeterias. On the counters at each meal are two kinds of meat and pork and beans. two vegetables. five salads, two kinds of desert five kinds of fruit and five kinds of drinks.
 Tn the dining rooms and kitchens the most modern equipment is used. in- cluding an ice making machine Of seven tons capacity. and a uish- wash ing machine with a capacity of l0,- 900 dishes an hour.

READJUsTING IMAGES AND -s.s.. s4s WORKERS. AT GROTON

General curtaifment is the order at the Groton Iron Works and a general re- adjustment of wage is taking place, which has resulted in the lowering of the wages of some of the workers at the plant. Some 40 to 50 men who have been in charge of departments have been released by the new man agemSnt and further changes will oc- cur from time to time:
 The wedding out process, which was instituted by the receivers when they assumed control of the, yard, has been duplicated since they departed by the new management. Some of the men displaced by the receivers have secur- ed positions back again. and new men have been brought to Groton to take the places of men whom the receivers placed in charge. v
 The only work going on at the yard is on the steamers Provincetown and Hopatcong, but new contracts are nearly closed and then things will as sume a different condition at the yard. There will be a demand for many additional men, but the wages paid during war times and even dur ing the operation of the yard by the receivers are probably over. The cut in wages amounts to from 10 to 15 per cent, it is said, and there are nc bonus propositions.
 The steamer Honnedaga which was launched last month, has steam ur and will probably. have her dock tes' and sea trial this week.

 The writ in the suit states that z copartnership was formed about Feb l 6, 1917, under which each shculd con l tribute his full time, effort and energ! l in the business and each should shar' i equally the profits and losses incident al thereto, and said partnership busi ness was continuously so conducted b.
