' CONTEST in Hu yOTES TO EMF ll PUMIED An innovation in the manner of handling public utilities investments was made public by Franklin T. Griffith, president of the Portland Railway. Light & Power company, yesterday simultaneously with the nouncement that this corporation has authorized the issuance and sale of $1,000,000 worth of 8 per cent, five year gold notes, ahd that the 2S00 employes, under direction of 'A. C. ilc.vlicken, are actively interested in the disposition of the notes. "We want to popularize our util ities investments and we want to sell them among our own people right here in Oregon," said Mr. Griffith. "That is why we are offering these gold notes in this manner. Our en tire organization of 2S00 people in every division of the service is acting as a sales agency. From statements made to me by platform men and others. 1 anticipate they will make a quick job of the affair." This is the first time that an Ore gon public utility corporation has of fered investments directly to its em ployes and to the people of the state. , .Mr. Griffith pointed out. There is no reason, he declared, why these offer ings should not be popularized here. Capital Needed for Growth. According to Mr. Griffith, the pur pose of the issue is to provide capital with which to keep pace with the r.ipidly expanding requirements of the district which the company serves. "In the past." said Mr. Griffith, "these additional investments of capi tal have come from outside the Port land district. It is the purpose of the company to continue good service and to increase its facilities in accordance with the ever-increasing demands of the field. To accomplish this, large additional sums of capital will be mu tually advantageous, in that the funds so invested will be expended at home and will aid in the further develop ment of this territory. Frankly the company wishes to have as many peo ple who are served by it financially interested in its business as possible. The expenditures for betterments dur ing 1921 will exceed the total amount of the note issue now offered." In seeking the co-operation of em ployes of the company. Mr. Griffith (sent to each one the following explan atory note: ""The laborer is worthy of his hire. This corporation is the most impor tant laborer in Oregon. Its opera tions directly effect, benefit and serve nearly one-half of the por la tior. of the state. Its success depends upon the character of its service and the confidence reposed in it by the people it serves. To possess and to merit that confidence is and should be the aim of every man and woman employed in public service. Therein lies not only the satisfaction of prop erly discharging our duties to the public, but also the certainty that if the public is satisfied it is willing to adequate t 4 -J ft-, 4 ,- --T- - .AAmM,-. r . & made pay this great laborer an wage. Demand for .Service Increases. "There is always a demand for the service to be rendered. That demand is constantly increasing.

The costs of operation have enormously increased in the last few jears and relief vas slow in coming but I think we may now confidently say that there is a widespread recog nition of the right of such corpora tions as ours to receive from the users of their service an amount equivalent to the cost of that nervice. and todav there is also public recognition of the principle that investment honestlv made and competently administered s entitled to a fair return. We may look forward, therefore, with con- i.u.,,e Liiai we win receive fair treatment as long as we deserve it "It is believed that -it would be mutually advantageous f we, who are employed by the corporation, and also the people directly served bv the cor poration, should be financially inter ested in it. - SI.OOO.OOO I is ue Offered.

Mr. Griffith ex plained, a prior right to the note holders over the owners of the prop erty. The notes will be dated March . 1, 1921, and will be due March 1. lSi'd. Denominations will be $100 and $500. A partial payment plan has been de vised, whereby the notes may ba pur chased on installments.

E SALES 1 BELIEF CHINA FAMINE WORKERS GET FIVE PER CEXT. TO Forces Joined With Oregon Fruit Campaigners for This Week. Donors Aid Both Causes. Campaigners for the China famine fund have joined forces for the com ing week with the Oregon prune campaign workers. An outright do nation of 5 per cent on all prunes sold during the week will be made by the prune growers, who will also make a bottom price on fruit pur chased by the famine fund manage ment for shipment with salmon wheat, flour and other Oregon foods to the starving Chinese. By energetically aiding in the prune selling campaign the famine fund workers hope to roll up the 5 per cent donation' of fruit to substan tial proportions and also will make appeals to public-spirited and human itarian citizens to aid a home indus try that is now in difficulties and at the same time to send food for the relief of the starving Chinese by buy ing their quotas of prunes through the China famine fund management and donating the fruit to the famine sufferers. By mailing checks to the China famine fund, 606 Stock Exchange building, and specifying that it is for the purchase of prunes, any citizen may serve both causes.

Breaking up of a notorious deer- poaching gang on Pule creek, in the Molalla country, was forecast yes terday by F. N. Brown, chief deputy game warden, following the arrest of Melvin Kays and the finding of a quantity of winter-killed deer hides, fresh deer meat and other incriminat ing evidence In the cabin of Tom Scott. Kays, who was staying at the Scott cabin, admitted the illegal deer hunting and made a detailed state ment or tne gangs operations since January 1. Deputies with search warrants were busy In the Pine creek country yes terday. More aeer meat was uncov ered and several arrests are pending. according to Air. lirown. bcott Pas long Deen wanted as a game law violator, but has persist' ently avoided detection with evidence that would warrant his arrest. He was not at home when the wardens came to his cabin Friday, but was reported to have been arrested later. H. H. Gregory, who lives near Mo- lana, was arrested yesterday on a similar charge. He is alleged to have killed ten deer in the last six weeks. The hearts of four animals were touna arying in his cabin. He was released on $500 bail.

Few can describe it, for charm doesn't depend upon beauty alone. The woman who wields it may be dark or fair, of any race or type. Only this is certain she has a perfect skin, fresh, youthful,.free from blemishes the irresistible at traction which all understand and admire. Begin today to give your complexion the care it needs and this charm will also be yours. It's a beauty secret of ancient Egypt and the beautiful Cleopatra. Before you sleep, cleanse with Palm and Olive oils Bad complexions are largely due to lack of proper cleansing. The pores become clogged, then enlarged, then irritated. Blackheads and blotches follow. Soft and flabby skins often show the lack of a cold water tonic. Rough skins are often caused by using harsh, irritating soaps. The best preventive is a daily cleansing with Palmolive soap. It makes a balmy, creamy lather, for the base is palm and olive oils. A gentle mas sage makes it penetrate. A rinsing takes it out, and with it come all accumulations which have clogged the skin. Volume and efficiency permit us to sell Palmolive for Finish with a dash of cold water. Then your skin will be fresh and rosy, clear, soft, smooth. night, with a finishing touch of cold means that all night long your skin , will have a needed chance to rest and breathe. Done at this cream 10c A lesson from stage women All women can learn something from the women of the stage, who use much rouge, much powder. But they remove them before they sleep. And with them the oil, the dirt and perspiration which clog up the pores of the skin. Their complexions will show you that they do no harm when skins are treated the right way. Only 10c, yet supreme Palmolive soap costs little, yet it forms the best skin soap the world ever knew. It employs palm oil from Africa, olive oil from Spain. It combines them in a perfect emollient. It soothes while it cleanses, softens while it cleans. No price can buy anything better. The Palmolive price is due to the fact that mil lions have come to employ it. And we have worked for years to bring it within the reach of all. On dry skins it is well to apply cold cream, both before and after washing. Ancient beauties knew the way Roman beauties, in their famous baths, used palmand olive oils. Egyptian beau ties used them in Cleopatra's time. - Now modern science finds no better way to beauty than by scientific blend ing of these oils. The Palmolive Company, Milwaukee, U. S. A.
