The Heart of Christmas
"I fear we are going to fcave a Tory
poor Christmas at our house," sold
Jane tc Florence as they were wulk
inS home from schoul.
You know father's been out of work
on account of the strike, and mother's
long illness will make it next to Im
possible to buy gifts for the children.
And we may not even have a Christ
mas tree!" And at the thought of a
Christmas without a tree, ter voice
w hich had been tremulous, broke luto
a half stilled sob.
Florence looked very thoughtful,
then said In comforting tones, "But
your father's at work again Isn't he?"
"Yes."
"And your mother's health Is much
better."
"Yes, we expect her downstairs for
Christmas day."
"Well, then I think, Jane, that you
should have great cause for rejoicing
at your housi? Christmas tree, or no
Christmas tree."
"1 had not thought of that Florence,
but you are right"
"Sometimes, I think we lose the real
spirit of Christmas," continued Jane,
-by thinking that Christinas comes
from what we get or give Instead of
rvnlizins that It is right In our hearts."
By this time the friends had come
to the parting of the way, and with a
friendly nod and "Goodbye," went to
heir homes to vislou anew the possi
bilities of Christmas.

The story of a woman who fell in love with the man she hated her husband.
"The Marriage Pit"
At high nom, two marriages. One in a solemn edifice before a robed priest
the other, a hurried routne before a justice of the peace after a night of revelry.
How do these two marriages end? While you're learning you'll see three stirring
conflicts; a battle of big business, a war of women's wits and a mighty fight be
tween two men. Stirring? We'll sav so!
Happy New Year

Prosperity.

the Decline In Prices
iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiniiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii,
The Telephone Company has asked its patrons in Oregon to pay more for
their telephone service. It has placed the facts and figures of the situation before
the Public Service Commission for their investigation and verification. The
increases will not amount to much to individual subscribers, but the aggregate will
permit the Company to properly maintain and develop its service.
We have shown the Commission that we are operating at a loss. Our ex
penses are greater than our earnings. The owners of the property are receiving
nothing from their Oregon investment and the interest due on debts which should
properly be borne by the Oregon properties are not being paid from Oregon receipts.
At the hearing before the Public Service Commission not a fact or figure pre
sented by the Company was disputed or disproved. The only material contention
made was that increases were perhaps inopportune in view of the present decline
in general commodity prices.
The Company is asking for a reasonable return upon its existing investment,
without regard to the uncertainties of the future. The Company files periodical re
ports of its operations with public authorities and its future investments will be the
subject of constant consideration and future adjustments, if necessary.
Salaries and wages make up 72 per cent of our current expenses. We hope
they will not be reduced and do not think they should be.
In the five years 1916-1920 inclusive, we have increased the wages of our
plant people $307,000.00. Our traffic (operating) employees $681,000.00, commer
cial employees, $98,000.00, a total of $1,086,000.00 per annum.
Efficient and contented employees mean good service. It is their due and
our desire that their compensation be equal to that in other lines of business activity.
Adequate service is dependent upon adequate rates.
