Philippians 4: 8. THE INACTIVE DOLLAR AND THE ACTIVE ONE With the NRA "Buy Now" campaign under way, it is interesting to look beneath the wheels and see what nutkes the engine run. If you spend a dollar you have been holding back; if you creat new indebtedness which you are able to take care of in due course of time, you have helped the wheels of industry. Your dollars will do the work of ten in the course of its circulation it will pay wages, old bills, provide for new purchases, keep factory wheels operating, stimulate dull business. But if you don't spend the dollar you have in an old sock or somewhere else you do none of these things. In fact, if you need something you can buy and fail to buy it, you are lowering your chances, your neighbor's chances and your nation's chances for a return to normal times. Then, there is still another side to the "Buy Now" cam paign. The market is rising. And if you spend that dollar now, you probably will get as much as you might a month, two months or three months later for a dollar and a quarter, or possibly more. Besides being a patriotic duty to "Buy Now", it is good business. -..' -. .... ,,,,.,.... . . ...... Don't let this opportunity to help yourself and your country slip by. Now is the time to buyl A RAILROAD CELEBRATION? Committees, acting upon the urge of Martin King, veteran engineer, who has been delegated by Union Pacific "old timers" to take up the question, are to consider soon the feasibility of holding a celebration in La Grande next July, probably the Fourth, to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the arrival of a first railroad train in this city. It seems to be a good idea a very good idea. La Grande, the last decade, has had few celebrations except for the Armistice day'event and occasional Labor day celebrations. Fourth of July has been a day to citizens of this community, when they want to get out of town nothing being here to hold their interest and so they have gone far and wide to seek their pleasures elsewhere. Now, with somthing real to celebrate, it seems that the community could get together next year and stage a real jubilee. Maybe the old costumry of 1884 could be brought into general use for the occasion; maybe we might steal Cen tralia's thunder and grow beards (the men) and wear "old time" clothes (easily the men and perhaps the women) ; may be we could make something out of it that would lie remem liered until a centennial celebration was in order. We hope the committees find the celebration idea an ex cellent one; and then we sincerely hope the entire community will support it in every way possible. . And let us start that active preparation and give our support to this plan right now. It is none too soon to begin arrangements for a cele bration such as should be given. Let's show the railroad we are grateful for the boost it gave us nearly 50 years ago! LEGION AND AUXILIARY BEGIN YEAR (Continued From Page One) MaltfMl the, women' officer. E. L.

The Weather Courtesy Boston Post La Grande is making its preparations this week for a gigantic NRA celebration to be held here Saturday evening, with all of the county invited to participate. There will be a great parade, a display of fireworks, street dancing and other features on the program. Back of it all, however, is the launching of the "Buy Now" campaign, sponsored by the NRA nationally. Many weeks have been spent in getting the Blue Eagle's wings over national industries, merchants' operations, etc., and now, in order to keep those protective wings at their full spread, the second phase of the NRA program begins the plan to stimulate buying, which in turn will stimulate production, make present jobs safe and probably create some new jobs. So we must all begin to act in the "Buy Now" drive. Our jobs, our neighbors' job, our national return to a measure of prosperity, depend upon increased business. It it no time to hold back the dollars, the quarters and dimes. A dollar's circulative power is estimated at Urn times its face value in two weeks time so every dollar put in circulation now, means payment of $10 worth of bills;: And "bills" may mean salaries, just as well as old obligations. By payin? old obligations, you help the merchant to pay his help. Of course, there are some that the "Buy Now" campaign hardly affects. We speak of those still on the unemployed list, who exist precariously, and to whom a dime looks bigger than a ten-dollar bill. Little can be expected of them in the "Buy Now" cam paign, hut they are looking to it with as much eagerness as the rest of us, who are still on the payroll. They probably will spend their nickels and dimes more eagerly than the rest, because it may be that if if the "Buy Now" campaign succeeds, there might develop a job someplace which they, too, could obtain. Their hope is spread of employment; our hope is to hold what we have. It's up to us all! The man who shows the Blue Eagle already has done his part we who signed the consumer's pledge, must now do ours. ' Now is the time to buy!

THE OPEN COURT CORRESPONDENTS MUST SUBMIT THEIR NAMES TO THE EDITOR IP THEY DE SIRE liETTERS PRINTED. To The Editor: May I express my hearty apprecia tion of Tour editorial "In NamA nf Defense" In the Observer. As you say. If the armament race "weren't so expensive and so dangerous It would be good for a fine laugh." It Is expensive, so expensive that $4 50 for every minute since Christ was born Would be no morA than enmieh to represent what the nations are atwiiuiiiK on so-cajiea aeiense mis year. What makes the thine such a lokft Is that, nn vmir Artltal-lnl nnlnt. out, when one builds the others must, or eacn must De stronger than the other otherwise no one is safel But it s the most expensive practical Joke the world ever played on Itself. The activities of William RhMr exposed during the Hoover adminis tration, explain much of why we waste such enormous, sums on pre paration for international suicide While millions Starve. This mnn r celved 51.230 for his services in pre venting reauction ol armaments at the Geneva conference In 1827. Later he . sued his employers, the three largest ship building corporations In America, for S355.655, the balance dUe for Services. MIIKnna nf Hnll... of taxpayers money would never have vtxu worse man wasted in competi tive armaments If it had not been for his activities. His employers are the ones who have secured the chief contracts for that part of our new 238.000,000 navy which Is being built in private yaras. It Is to Drevent such Rham.r,ii dangerous competition that the world disarmament conference hn. working for more than a year. The inuuitiun maaers stand to lose count less millions in profits If It succeeds; civilization mav collsnu. if tt faiiB for there is Just one end to such a race and that Is war. I am sure that the committee ap pointed by the newly organized High School P. T. A. to arrange a meet Ing in support of the conference will nJDCAU- DBEDIElFjr have every support. Finally, your editorial reveals you as a man with a sense of humor. Cer tainly there Is no better target for that humor than the ghastly Joke of war and the vain hope that prepara tion for war will prevent it. They say that chivalry was laughed out of existence by a book "Don Quixote." Ridicule may be one of the effective ways by which we rid the world of Its ancient habit of the slaughter of its youth in war. J. J.
