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

Demand for .Service Increases.
"There is always a demand for the
service to be rendered. That demand
is constantly increasing. Our growth
and the growth of th- communities
served by us go hand In hand. We
must at least keep pace with the de
mands of our service, and, if possible,
our facilities should always be some-

quirements. This means that addi
uonai investment must be
steadily and continuous-.

"Ve have passed through a critical
ptriod. 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

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

employed by the corporation, and also
the people directly served bv the cor
poration, should be financially inter
ested in it. -

The notes ofered are the direct
obligation of the company, taking
precedence over the $10,000,000 of pre
ferred stock and $15,000,000 of com
mon stock, giving. 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.

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.

H. H. Gregory, who lives near Mo-

The hearts of four animals were

released on $500 bail.
A trap line, which had been baited

The Secret of Charm
Never Changes
Throughout the ages it exerts its power this
charm to which the world bows, changing history
and making queens of nations as well as hearts.
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

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.
