PURCHASE PRICE SECRET
ales and Advertising Director of
ralm Olive Company Here to
Close Deal and Announce That
.Portland Directors 'imed.
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.

TION TO Y. M. C. A.
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.

What is a Liberty Bond? Take a five

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
