Cardinal Will Bless Hoses. His Eminence Cardinal Gibbons, the head of the Catholic Church In America will pronounce the blessing on the roses to be planted this afternoon in City Park. This is added prestige to the oc casion, which is already one of interna. tlon renown through the participation of most of the foreign natlorts which . have representatives in this city. To secure tills concession from this distinguished church leader it became necessary to make the appeal on behalf of the Portland Rose Society through Hte Graoe Archbishop ChriBtie, the head pf the Catholic Church for the- Oregon tIocese. Correspondence was carried on for some time, until a day or two ago, when Cardinal Gibbons sent, in a tele pram to Archbishop Christie, his bene diction upon the flowers of the different nations that will be presented to Port land, and planted today. The archbishop has delegated Father O'Hara to read the blessing of His Eminence at the rlose of the planting exercises. Cardi nal Gibbons' good wishes for the suc cess of the event went with the mes age of benediction. Every detail of arrangement for the jeremonial has been taken care of, in-c-It-idtng that of pei-manent protection of the exquisite roses which have been sent to Portland from nine different nations. The Rose Society has impressed upon the city authorities the necessity of af fording the most vigilant watchfulness upon the rosee so that vandals may not steal them from their beds in the park. The City Park is well policed and spe cial guardianship will be placed upon the roses by the detail of watchmen in serv ice in the park. This has been arranged by the Board of Park Commissioners. .Children Will Take Part.

I know tbat they all tried to secure native grown roses from their home country, but some were unable to do so. They sent their regrets, but expressed their good wishes Tor the success of the occasion."

Agents "Wanted to Secure Subscriptions Price of Stock Will Increase to Ten for One in Five Years s t At a very moderate estimate our Company will increase its business at the rate of $10, 000,000 insurance each year for five years, at which time our Company will have $50,000,000 insurance in force, after which, ' Company's Ability to Get Business WILL BE EXCEPTIONAL , (1) BECAUSE OF THE IMMENSE LOCAL INFLUENCE OF ALL OUR STOCKHOLDERS. (2) BECAUSE OF THE PRESTIGE OF OUR PHENOMENAL RECORD. (3) BECAUSE OF THE COMPANY'S STANDARD POLICY CONTRACT. Source of Profits It is the purpose of all companies to insure only healthj- people, but of 10,000 who are healthy today, how many will be healtny in twenty years, or in forty years i In which score of years will the smallest number die? A mere child could answer that, so it is clear that the young company must have a very much smaller death rate in its first twenty years than any other like period; and since it puts aside for Mortality each of its early years, on each policy, just as much proportionately as it does on its fortieth, or its sixtieth .year, there is bound to be a very large surplus left over, each year, for its first twenty years. None of this is hoarded for Mortality of any other year, but each year takes care of itself, and this is one source that helps a young company to make enormous dividend returns to its stockholders. 1st. SAVINGS IN EXPENSE. 2nd. SAVINGS IN MORTALITY. t 3rd. EXCESS INTEREST EARNINGS. - From these three sources reports show that in 1901 the leading companies in America gained the enormous sum of over $52,000,000. 1. Savings in Expense Keeping expenses within reasonable bounds is a question of economy. That vigilance will be observed in this item, it is only necessary to say that it is the intention to conduct the business on a strictly economical basis. 2. Savings in Mortality The Mortality fund is such a portion of all premiums as will more than pay all current death losses in the worst year that can reasonably be expected to occur according to the Mortality tables, but only healthy people are insured. Of 10,000 who are insured through a period of sixty years, more will die in the last twenty years than in the first twenty years. Since just as much is taken from the policyholder in the first year as in the sixtieth 3-ear it is easy to see that an enormous accumulation will take place during the first twenty years of a young Company's career. ' 3. Excess Interest Earnings ' If the Insurance Company be working on a 3 per cent basis, that is if it has to "realize only 3 per cent interest on its investments' in order-to pay its liabilities as. they fall due, with money lending freely at 5 per cent it is obvious that there is an excellent source of profit in the excess interest earnings. , FILL OUT THIS SUBSCRIPTION BLANK, SIGN AND MAIL.
