Several hundred thousand dollars are to be expended in Increasing the plant of the Kaola Company, Twentieth and Roosevelt streets, from a- capacity of 20 tons of copra per day to 150, accord Ins to announcement made yesterday by C. 8. Pearce, of Alilwaukee, sales and advertising; director of the Palm Olive Company, vice-president of the 1'roco Nut Butter Cpmjjany and a direc tor n the local concern. He is here to adjust the affairs of Who newly formed organization that wffll handle Kaola output. As previously announced, thai com panies named above have taken over the Kaola Company, largely for the purpose of controlling the cocoanut oil output, which Is wanted for use In their other plants. The purchase price of the local plant would not be stated by Mr. Pearce yesterday, but It is a considerable figure. A cash rate was involved, with the Ladd & Tllton Bank as disbursing agent to the former stockholders, the financial features being closed yester day. Significant Statement Made. Several significant and Important statements were made by Mr. Pearce, In addition to the announcement of In creased output of the Kaola Company which is to be started at once. In the first place, machinery, costing larg sums, which was ordered some time ago by the Troco Nut Butter Company for a branch plant In San Francisco, has ben diverted to the Portland plant, and the one in the Bay City has been abandoned for the time being at least.. This will make possible ibe increased output of the Kaola Com pany within a comparatively short time, as some of the machinery will tegln to arrive here In about four weeks and will be installed as rapidly as possible. Mr. Pearce also pointed out that as the local plant Increases its output, which, he said, is already sold to the other operating companies with which he and his associates are affiliated, the volume of shipping at this port will be accordingly increased. All of the copra used has to be brought from the va rious producing countries, such as the youth Sea Islands, the Philippines, In dia and others, in boats. Instead of KOing to Seattle or San Francisco, as formerly, it will now be brought here direct. Demand Growing: Fast. "There is a large and growing de mand for the products of the companies which we operate," said Mr. Pearce, "as the ' products of cocoanut oil are made into so many forms of foodstuffs and other useful things that the indus try s getting to be a very important factor indeed. The area for the growth of cocoanuts Is being increased rap idly but all of the crops are sold before they are harvested, so strong is the demand for all that can be had. "liventually the company may and probably will manufacture here the troco butter now made by the Troco Nut Butter Company, with plants in Iilwaukee, Chicago and New York. The Palm Olive Company, with plants In Milwaukee and Toronto, will use all of the output of the Kaola Company, arrangements having already been completed for this, so that, no matter how large, the capacity is, it will be Immediately taken over. "I might add that all of our prod vets are put before the public through National advertising campaigns, adver tising being the backbone of the busi ness. The consumers are always ready to purchase first-class goods if. they know about them, and in due time they will be made fully acquainted with the merits of our products in this manner." C. K. Johnson, president of the Palm Olive and Tro Nut Butter companies, also, will be president of the newly formed Kaola Company. C. A. Palnton. former president, will remain as a di rector and as general manager. Mr. Pearce also will be a director and at a meeting to be held during this week three local directors will be elected.

The Tall Campus y "was a 1st event at Reed College on Friday, when classes were dismissed ao students co old spend the afternoon In assisting with the clean-up work and do their share in helping wLth the patriotic service programme which Reed College has adopted. Campus day holds a reg ular place In the college programme and comes each Spring and Fall, when the students fall to work on the lawns or make added improvements about the grounds. Harvesting the potato and bean crop was one of the most Important parts in Friday's schedule. Several acres of potatoes and beans on the college cam pus provided a plentiful supply of these food products for Winter use. The work of planting and cultivating the crops was done by student labor. carrying out the food-preparedness campaign for the college. In this way much ground on the campus which would not otherwise have been used was turned to food productiveness. The girls, as well as the boys, as sisted in the Friday clean-up and were among the best workers in digging po tatoes and gathering beans. As the enlistment of upper-class men has greatly decreased the enrollment of men, there were many more women to help with the campus work. They ac complished the task with willing en thusiasm, attired in practical short skirts and middy blouses or bloomer suits. The greater number of the boys were directed, under Professor A. A. Knowl ton, in repairing the large holes in the dam at the swimming pool. When all of the work for the day had been com pleted, the remaining hours until mid night were socially spent. Dinner was served on long tables in the dining- room, following which the students gathered in the large hall in the arts building, where they indulged in stunts and were entertained with a play staged by the Drama Club. The play ' was the first production of the Drama Club jthis year and entitled 'The Play goers," by Parraqunie. -Klrl Dlgcrlngr Weeds From T,mwb. the Dam for the Smimnaing Hole. 4-Moe.- !

New Ideas on Promotion, Membership, Rellgleus and Social Activities Are Considered. A' bit of brotherhood, a rplce of laughter, a measure of concern In the spiritual welfare of the other fellow and a chance to "join If you are not already in" mix these Ingredients all together and you have the latest di vision of the Portland Y. M. C A., its service department. While the Y. M. C. A. has always been dedicated primarily to the service of the young man in whatever direc tion he might need help, the service department has aimed to get the co operative assistance on the basis of organized deflniteness required by modern efficiency. There are four subdivisions new ideas or promotion, membership, re ligious and social activities. The Portland Y. M. C. A. takes up a number of .miscellaneous movements each year. ' These movements will hereafter be a part of the subdivision devotei to new ideas. In the membership subdivision a new idea has already been established. The idea is to make Y. M. C. A. mem bership valuable and thereby to secure increase in numbers on a solid, perma nent basis of service given, not to rely upon a frenzied once-a-year member ship campaign, but to work along the lines of well-formulated programmes from month to month, haelng only two or three great rug arcairs airaumij. Membership activities ere In charge of Buy rKn XirEerest in Your Government s AMERICA is calling Oregon to her aid. So far we have not faltered. You must do your share. Invest your savings and surplus in these new 4 Liberty Bonds. What is a Liberty Bond? Take a five dollar bill from your pocket and read what is says- "The United States will pay five dollars to bearer." The United States Liberty Bonds read the same way, except that they state the time, after which the Government will pay in gold their full face value. So a Liberty Bond is practically like United States Currency with an extra 4 interest. . . Go to the bank tomorrow buy a Liberty Bond two or three and as many more as you can afford. You will be fighting the last and greatest battle for Liberty. Lend your country your money and it may save your, life and others. The Portland Hotel "A Generation of Hotel Leadership." RICHARD W.
