Governors of all the states In the we.tth Federal Reserve 'Usir.ct! have been asked bj the Federal Government to appeal to the citizens of their respective states to give, I mted Slates securities, such as War Savings Stamps and Tjeasur Savings Certificates as Chnstmas presents this jear. Governor John U. Calkins of the San Francisco Fedeial Reserve! Bank has also asked the mavors of the larger cities of the Twelfth Fed eial Itesei ve District to issue similar proclamations. In its War Savings Christmas campaign the Government hopes to kill three birds with one stone First: To start the habit of sav ing among as many individuals as possible, Second: By cutting down the de mand for luxuries, under which Cliihstmas pieseuts may be classed as a rule, to reduce prices, and, Third: To raise the Twelfth Dis tricts War Savings quota for 1919, subscriptions to which are far behind the figure set last January. Xot only has the Government ap- pealed to governors and majors, but similar appeals have gone to all banks in the district and to cleigj-me- n ol all denominations Owiu; to the general unrest, of which the Gov- LR ernment feels high prib es is one of the Hi causes, the appial is being made on the thesis that thrift ri a matk of sound R Amerhan citizenshi,,. Ecinonn-t- s aie agreed that the bn present exorbitant level of pi ices which constitute not only nn eco ili uomie but a social mtnaco is caused to a gieat extent by a 'spending spree being indulged in by the people," Governor Calkins wrote Indul gence In luxuries, which, of couise, causes increases in tl,e necessities of life, has raised prices generally to such unheard of heights that Christmas bujing this jear promises a danger-- ! ous climax. We, therefore, appeal to you to call upon the people of your State to forego the giving of the usual Christmas gifts this year and instead give securities of the United States Government, such as Thrift and War Savings Stamps, Treasury Savings Certificates and if Liberty Bonds. There could bo no!lJ more timely effort at stabilization of Jiff prices and production than such ac- tion upon your part and the part of !S1 the people, a majority of whom, I am sure, would answer jour call.

Heads of International Unions May Include Thrift in Conference Program. Portland, Oie. The conference of the heads of international unions, called by Samuel Gompers, president of the American Federation of Labor, December 13 in Washington, D. C., to map out a labor program as a result of the failure of the industrial conference, lias been asked by the Oregon State Federation of Labor to include within its program a plank supporting the United States Governments War Savings movement, as represented in Thrift, War Savings Stamps, and Treasury Savings Certificates. Presi dent O. R Hart wig, of the Oregon Federation, moreover, has asked every other Strte Federation of Labor in the country to petition the Washington conference likewise in the following letter: Inasmuch as the United States Government is engaged in advancing the War Savings Stamps campaign in a vigorous manner, and inasmuch as the War Savings Stamps are the best possible forms of investment for working men and women, particularly organized workers, and also because the possession of War Savings Stamps by workers while distending their rights either while out on strike or otherwise, gives them a degree of security that ordinarily they do not possess, thereof fore, the State Federation of Labor Oregon makes the following suggestion: That your Federation Join with us in urging upon the national conference that has been called in WashFederaington, D. C., by the American intion of Labor, the advisability of may that they program in any cluding promulgate, a War Savings Stamps plank or provision. We feel that this will materially strengthen the position of organized labor and will also give us the sinews of war when most needed. Trusting, therefore, that you will find It possible to join us in urging upon the national conference this provision, and thankIn ing you In advance for concurring this suggestion,, we beg to remain.

The oldest family of Great Britain, is said to be the Mar family, in Scotland, which can trace Its pedigree to the year 1003. Then, too, there are the Campbells of Argyll, whose origin dates back to 1190. The Grosvenor family, that of the duke of Westminster, refers Its origin to the same year that the Conqueror came over 1060. The Austrian house of Hapsburg goes back farther than that, its date being 952, while the Bourbons of France proudly mention 864, as the date of their origin. Old Europ-e- n How Frogs Protect Eggs. In the manner of disposing of their eggs many species of frog exhibit remarkable peculiarities. One of the most curious, a tree frog, native of Paraguay, makes Its nest In a bush overhanging a pond. The lower ends of a number of leaves are drawn together and fixed In that position by a number of empty egg capsules. The eggs are also covered with a shield of empty capsules to protect them from the sun and air. When the eggs are hatched the plug at the bottom appears to fall out and the tadpoles tumble into the water. for tlie Home These new White Mazda Lamps can be used in any socket or fixture where you now have 40, 50 or clear bulb lamps.
