PaImerston.

In the first place, it was always as- serted. with emphasis and even with acrimony, that he (Palmerston) was not a whig. Gladstone. who did not much like whiggery. though he often used whigs. laid 1t down that "to be a whig a man must be a born whig." and believe that the doctrine is abso- lutely sound. But Palmerston was born and bred tory, and from 1907 to 1880 held office in tory administra- tions. The remaining 35 years of his life he spent, for the most part. in whig administrations, but whig he was not. The one thing in the world which he loved supremely was power, and, as long as this was se- cured, he did not trouble himself much about the political complexion of his associates.-G. W. B. Russell.

wage earner help to bring exhorbitant prices to a normal level by saving every cent he can, thus cutting down the demand for luxuries and permit ing the use of the capital saved for the production of necessities"
 It is the opinion of those who have the interests of labor at heart and who have given serious thought to the problems of labor now confronting the country that the greatest economic weapon that the individual members of organized labor have is nest egg invested in such securities as Thrift and War Savings Stamps, War Saw ings Certificates and Treasury Saw ings Certificates.

FARMER RECEIVING 200 PERI
 CENT MORE FOR PRODUCTS

In considering the high cost of liv- ing today, it is we'll not to overlook the farmers part in the increased cost of articles most necessary to the sus- tenance of life. Here is some data clipped from a California paper re- gently giving the price of these arti- clesof food five years ago as compar- ed with prices in 1919. "E
 These figures assembled by the United States Department of Agricul- ture and represent money paid to pro- ducers:
 Wheat was 76 cents in 1914 and is now $2.17 per bushel, rise of 2O5 per cent. Corn was TT cents and is now $1.91 per bushel, a gain of 251 per cent. Barley was 45 cents per bushel, is now $1.S1 per bushel, gain 262 per cent. Potatoes averaged in price S7 cents per bushel five years ago and now average $1.92 per bush el, an advance of 220 per cent. Ap- pies were 79 cents per bushel, are now $1.74 per bushel. You paid $10.76 for hay then and now pay $20.16 per ton.
 Cotton was 12 cents per pound and is now 32 cents, a gain of 266 per cent. Butter advanced 256 per cent in five years, from 23 to AS cents per pound (it's more in California, but this is the average for the United States.) Eggs advanced 216 per cent, from IS cents per dozen to 40 cents per dozen, and chickens from 12 cents per pound to 26 cents, a gain of 209 per cent.
 The farmer is hit by the forward march of living costs much the same as is the man who lives in the city. But he has the opportunity to raise on his farm the greater part of his food. He pays pobably 90 per cent more for clothing, furniture and other household necessities than he did five years ago. He complains that the price of farm machinery and seeds have advanced, but the prices of trac tors and farm implements have not advanced in proportion to the increase in food prices. Farm labor, averag- ing conditions in all States, has ad- vanced 45 per cent. Taxes and water costs have either remained stationary or have gone ahead but little."
 The retailer cannot be blamed for these advances.

URGED TO SUPPORT
 THRIFT CAMPAIGN

Bakersfield, Cal, Oct. 18.-The Cal ifornia State Federation of Labor at it's Twentieth annual convention here unanimously adopted resolutions en- dorsing the Governments 1919 Thrift Campaign. memoralizing the Govern ment to continue and extend the War Savings and Thrift Stamp Institution as a permanent policy helpful in safe guarding the earnings of the toiling masses of the country. The resolu- ton endorsing the Governments thrift policy was introduced by Daniel c. Murphy of San Francisco, President of the State Federation of Labor.
 The. resolution recommended the ap- pointment of Thrift Agent in every affiliated local union in the state and advised each union to supply such agent with revolving fund sufficient to enable him to carry on hand an adequate supply of Thrift and War Savings Stamps, War Savings Certif- icates and Treasury Savings Certifi- cates. The resolution in full follows:
 Whereas, The war so happily end ed has required our people to develop thrift and saving which to some de- gree has stimulated freedom of action and independence on the part of wage earners; and
 Whereas, It is essential to stimu- late thrift and saving in time of peace as in time of war; and
 "Whereas, The inauguration of the national system of War Savings and Thrift Stamps has afforded to many of small earnings safe, sound and guaranteed method of Government in- vestment of their hard earned saw ings; and
 "Whereas, The American Fedora tion of Labor in convention at At lantic City heartily endorsed the Gov ernments 1919 Thrift Campaign; therefore, be it
 Resolved, That this convention do approve of the continuation and ex- tension of the War Savings and Thrift Stamps Institution, or the substitution of a National Savings Institution akin in character and method, which shall prove helpful to safeguard the earn ings of the toiling masses of our coun- try; and be it further
 Resolved, That this convention do recommend to each affiliated local union that it appoint Thrift Agent to cooperate with the Government in the sale of Thrift and War Savings Stamps, War Savings Certificates and Treasury Savings Certificates and that such agent be provided with an adequate revolving fund to enable him to carry on hand for the convenience of purchasers sufficient supply of such securities of the United States Government"
 President Murphy said, "I feel that the continuation of the teaching and practice of thrift by the Government is of vital importance to the wage earners of the nation. At this time particularly it is important that every
