SANTA ANITA SERVICE
FROM TREE OUTSIDE PARK

1
It Is fact that throughout
Santa Anita's first winter meet
ing, the service with the aid Of
Ia high-powered glass was operat-
ed from a tree outside the place.
The operators since have been a
little more comfortable OPP
Grating from q house which sets
In an advantageous position. But
the service Is still on the outside
looking In.
DR.. Charles II. strub will have
no part Of 1t.
The good doctor also was the
first track operator to close every
book In the vicinity Of his racing
strip during his meetings by put
ting Pinkertons to work with
local police.
DR.. Shrubs object was -,
and Is to get the customers
into his racing establishment at
fair admittance fee and where
the track and state get their re-
spective percentages Of money bet
Nobody but bookmakers and
crooked policemen, who protect
them where protection is required,
get anything out Of the millions
bet annually In poolrooms or bet
ting offices.
The result Of DR.. Shrubs stand
was ;. :. and Is the worlds
model track, outdrawing all 9TH
ers in all the long history OF the
runners, having the biggest handle
on record and paying the richest
purchases.
With the telegraph and tele-
phone lines closed to them, more
than $1,000 poolrooms or betting
offices would go out of business.
It Is safe to estimate that such
action would throw out of en-
ployment close to 10000 men who
are engaged in the poolroom bus
mess in one way or another.
RACING WIRES ALWAYS
MANAGE TO FIND A WAY
But racing wires always have
found way and suspect they
Will continue to service theii
clients regardless of the govern
ment drive now on against them.
For example, there has been no
racing wire In Pennsylvania for O
matter of 10 months, but Pitts
burgh bettors get the dope via
telephone from Steubenville, o.
After all, anybody can have o
business telephone installed, and
long distance calls hardly can be
censored.
The wiping out Of the racing
wire would affect racing publica-
tins such as The Racing Form
and tip sheets only in the way of
circulation. They could be pub
!ished just>as newspapers are pub
lisheo
The trouble in their case would
be that with no place to bet, the
horse player would be interested
In them only when a track was
operating in his locality.
1t is true that tracks in isolated
cases have survived on "come-
pack money money poured
INTO the machines at the last min
ute by bookmakers having more
IMAM they care to handle.
But such tracks should be put
out of business.
SO should the downtown book
maker.

Old Ne,v England X. R.
 Brings Back Memories
Names of Chris Bannon Cooks, Mrs. Nellie L.
 Sheehan, Present Supervisor of R. R. Restaurant Mentioned in Interesting Reminiscent Story.

evening, the depot restaurant is open to everybody who desires something good to eat. On Sunday morning when many are on their way to New York, instead of eating at their homes, they stop and get their grapejuice and coffee, sometimes with ham and eggs, at Mrs. Shee- hans counter.
 All of which reminds us of the depot restaurants of years ago. Just about where the present station stands, was the New England rail- road which piled between Fishkill on the Hudson and Boston. For years the restaurant in the old place was conducted by the late Chris Bannon, with round glass covering for the home made pie that adorned each plate on the counter. Every body ate pie in those days, especially railroad men.
 Cooks
 And after MT. Bannon's death, the business was continued by various persons until the old station was torn down for the improved one that now shelters the railroad travelling public in and out of Waterbury. The old Naugatuck station on Bank street never had a depot restaurant, but just across the way was Cooks a home like place where many railroad men visited, and some of the travelling public. The Cooks are now all dead, and so are most of the ones who used to patronize this favorite spot.
 Every time we eat at Mrs. Shee- hans restaurant it reminds us of the great activity in and about the old New England railroad, at time when travelling by rail was more brisk than we find the situation at the present time.
 No less than IS trains ran to and from Hartford, and most of them went the full distance to Boston. But now, If you want to go to Boston, you have to wait or make a con- nection in Hartford, unless you take one of the few Boston trains that now leave Waterbury.
 While New York always got more travel from Waterbury, still the business to Boston by way of the old New England or Highland Di- vision was lively, and the patronage to Hartford so heavy that at times it was almost impossible to get seat.
 Auto Travel
 There are many of us who yearn for the return of passengers to the railroad system. For our part we would rather go by rail than by bus, but it appears that more people now prefer to travel by automobile.
 The old New Haven railroad con- tinueS to function in spite of her annual deficits. But some day per- haps, she'll come back to her own. and reach the peak of the success she enjoyed in the early days of the Mellon control when Waterbury and the Naugatuck valley were repre- sented on the Board of Directors by such two outstanding citizens as the late John T. Whittemore of Naugatuck, and James g. Elton of Waterbury.
 By the way, with the death of the late Edward o. Goss, another high type of citizen, Waterbury now seems to be without representative on the board of directors.

BY THE OUT EASTER

How many Out Easters know that the public restaurant at the rail- road station is conducted under the management of Mrs. Nellie L. Shee- han, a former resident of this part of the city, but originally from "The Hill'.
 Mrs. Sheehan is widely known by the raili oad men, and by the numer- ous employees of nearby plants who patronize the restaurant daily. For instance, we of q nearby buff room are as welcome as patrons of the higher ups," and we get the same attentive service as those of the white collar brigade.
 Twenty Years
 Mrs. Sheehan has been identified with the depot restaurant for the past 20 years or so. She has always been popular with her patrons on account of the good things she serves; everything clean, and the best of "vittles". From early in the morning until the early part of the

 One change in the list of detailed estimates from the one submitted last month was made. This was a transfer of $1,OO0 from the total for principals to the total for super visors. One principal has been abolished and one supervisor added. The closing down of part of the Beebe street school did away with the pincipalship there.

CREAMERIES WITH LARGE
VOLUME MOST PROFITABLE

Creameries with large volume OF
output have the advantage over
those with small volume in small
er operating costs and higher re-
turns to farmer patrons. This Is
the conclusion reached in a study
of Watonwan county's nine CO.
operative creameries, made by w
H. bankers and E. Fred Roller,
University Farm agricultural &C.
onomists.
The average production of man.
ufactured butter in the nine plants,
in 1877, was 245,7S3 pounds, with
the highest manufacturing 559,-
S4S pounds, and the lowest 142,OO4
pounds. Total operating cost per
pound of butter manufactured
varied in direct relation to pro-
duction-the plant with the largest
volume had the smallest cost per
pound, while the smaller plants
had larger costs. The range in
operating cost per pound was from
a little over 2 cents to nearly 5
cents, with the average a trifle
above cents.
Variations in the efficiency with
which these creameries were able
to conduct manufacturing and
marketing operations were re-
flected in the price paid farmers
for their butterfat. The average
net return per pound of butter
fat to the farmer ranged from 35
cents for the creamery with the
lowest efficiency to 80 cents for
the creamery with the highest eff
ficiency. Here again, assert the
economists, there was close re-
lationship between large volume
and efficiency.
THE principle obstacle to eff
ficient manufacturing operations
and lower operating costs fire.
quently is that the volume of out
put is insufficient for most ef-
fective use of buttermaking facili-
ties. The only permanent solution
of this problem" conclude the
economists, "is the consolidation
of smaller plants, especially when
plant facilities and equipment
need to be replaced"
