This is at a time, too, when many woolen mills arc shut down throughout the country and many thousands of employes are tunable to find employment in l?:istern woolen mill manufacturing centers. The output per employe is the highest in the world ami its quality is rated as equal to any. Recently a man who was elliciency expert for 24 woolen mills in the United States came to Portland es pecially to study the methods whereby such high output was se cured.' The Portland Woolen Mills this car has luiudlcd wool purchases to tue total of l,000,000 pounds and the entire capacity of the mills is engaged up to April or May. Its sli ptnciit of gooJs has been nunc than $2,000,000 in value. Many of the lurgest manufacturers ot clothing in Chicago.

In the mills promotions arc made from the ranks. Schools and classes of instruction in the different pro cesses are held, and every young man or young woman going into the mills is made to feci that he or she can become head of the dejifift mcut if they make good. Dur iug the war years production cost was actually reduced in the face of increasing prices on everything, In cluding supplies, labor and raw materials, by a system of profit sharing and open book-keeping, cooperation and mutual confidence that extended into every process and developed little economies that aggregated large. The capital in vested is $100,000,000 plus tlie good will of more than 500 employes. I!. L. Thompson, malinger, some years ago deckled that if the em ployes were treated right there would he an increased output and icouoni) of pioductiou that would pay. Ills plans are so different t runt the ordinary textile nnintiluc liner that failure was freely pre dicted.

Very little! the business in general that there has been imported wool, the Pacific dtictious in pay when necessitated coast furnishing all grades and lengths. No shoddy is mauiifac turcd in the Portland Woolen Mills. It is ull of virgin wool cloth and of many varieties. During the war the mills paid the highest wages and secured the cheapest labor cost product ion. The employes ore not given charity, nor or they pampered or petted or fa vored. They pay for what they get and get what they pay for. One of the institutions Is a mutual benefit association, entirely managed by have been accepted without any murmuring or bitterness. The spirit of fraternity is thoroughly dis cussed through the mills and the desire to help one another Is en couraged and likewise pays divi dends in increased production. "I would rather be a philanthropist than n successful business man," said K L. Thompson, "and to lie the first I have to be the second." Products of the nulls arc equal to the best foreign grades.

Oregon wool is the best in the world, and why should not the buyers for the largest clothing mamifactuters in the world await their turns to sc cure the output of the best paid, thoroughly contented, highly in telligent crew of operators known textile textile manufacturing inter csts anywhere in the world ? Some months ago a young Swede asked for employment at the mills and went to work on a loom. It was seen that he was a skilled operative and he was valued accordingly. Through a mutual friend Mr. Thompson was surprised to learn that the youtig man was a gradu ate of one of the best textile mill schools in Knrope and was a fam ous designer and executive. lie had come to Portland from Sweden to learn how the Portland Woolen Mills turned out such wonderful textures at such remarkable prices with such highly paid operatives, lie is now otic of the staff of the concern he came to investigate and docs not intend to return to Knrope. livery Christmas the employes of the mills are seated at dinner in the beautifully decorated clubhouse. On Saturday, December 21, 1921, the tables were filled with more than 530 operatives, managers and uucsts. and a dinner was served that some kings in luirope would have envied. After dinner a mu sical program was given. The looms started up again Tuesday morning with a merry, conscien tious, nninstakim?. ski led hodv of employes, confident as they work so shall they be rewarded. Journal.

The program prepared by the Sunday school was good in every respect. Kach class was represented by one or more members. The Adult Bible Class was not among the least, with Si aud Mirandy. Mrs. Shaw's class, which is a credit to, their teacher, sang two songs in splendid style. The most difficult number was a little play, "The Sorrows and Joys of Santa Clans," by Mrs. Smith's aud Mrs. Boyd's classes. Santa Clans got there just before it was time to go home. The excitement and festivities of Christmas Day made a showing in the attendance at the services. The new. quarter lies are here for the next quarter. The thought for Sunday morning's service will be "Making a New Start." The Christian Eudcavor topic will be with the idea of strengthening the society's work as a whole. The evening service will be one of song and a short talk on "Getting Uy." Next Sun- day will be Communion Sunday. There will also be a reception of new members. Reported.
