TODAY Salem business firms, under the leadership of the local NRA committee launch a vigorous "Buy Now" cam paign. The motto is: "If everyone spends, everyone works." There is no surer path to industrial recovery than in re-invigorating the demand of the public for goods. It is the re - newed stimulus of demand for goods across the counters of the nation, which being felt in the factories and on the farms and in the mines which are the sources of the goods desired, which will bring true industrial revival. ' I H. I. Phiffips, writing in the New York Sun, lists the f ol ! Io wingr reasons for "buying NOW" : Money makes the nightmare go., Boy Now! Whatever yon spend will be a contribution to , your own welfare. Spending a dollar today may hurt a little bit it will make : spending 5 practically painless in a taw months. - Don't say.

The trouble with the average shopper is the same as the trouble with the Average golfer; he la too tight. Don't wait for the other fellow to do the spending: he's waiting for you.

(Continuing from yesterday:) "The division agent was custo dian ot the company prpperty, hired and dismissed the drivers, stock tenders and other employes, and had general aunervuion ot the running of the stages and the care and conduct of the stations. m m "It was not absolutely ne cessary." Mark Twain records, 'that the division agent should be a gentleman, and occasionally he wasn't. But he was always a gen eral In administrative ability, and a bull-dog in courage and de termination. Otherwise chieftain ship over the lawless underlingg of the Overland service wonhl never in any Instance hare been to him anything but an equival ent to a month of insolence and distress and a buUet and a cof fin at the end of it.' S "Ranking next in importance to the division agent was the conductor or messenger, who sat with the driver en the front seat, and whose beat also covered 200 miles. He was responsible for the safety of the mall and express matter in his charge until he delivered them to the next -con ductor and received his receipt for them. "His duties called for the con stant exercise of inteUigence and decision, and more than one con ductor became In after years man of mark in his section. The driver, however, was easily the most Interesting; character of the stage coach days. The stations on. the Overland were placed at intervals of 10 to 25 miles, end about every SO miles there was a home station where the drivers were changed and where there were also facilities for serving meats, jcacn driver regarded him self as king ot his particular stretcn of road, and actepted with lordly Indifference the hom age paid him by station hands and passengers. W S "By the same token most of the drivers were warm hearted. auna ana obliging. Many of them, records Frank Root. Tilmself stage coach conductor in his six ties, were 'capable of riUinr oth' er and more Important positions. The most of them were sober, es pecially while on duty, but near ly all were fond of an occasional eye-opener.

When the Overland came into being, there was already a general belief that the building of a transcontinen tal railroad only waited upon a cessation of the sectional and partisan differences that for a decade prior to 1861 blocked the selection ot a route. Then came the secession of the southern states, and on July 1. 1862. Pres ident Lincoln signed a bill nro. viding for the construction of the Central Pacific and Union Pacific railroads over the central route. Work lagged at first, but gained momentum in 1864 when congress enacted additional leg islation making it easier for the builders to secure needed finan cial support, and soon there was a Swift advance of the rails both front, the east and the west, "Meanwhile Holladay, quick to note the handwriting on the wall, la the latter part of 1866 sold his interests at a profit to the rival firm of Wells. Fargo and company, and retired to a coun try estate on the Hudson. The rails met at Promontory Point la Utah on -May 10, 186 , and coaching traffic, except in re gions to which the railroad did not as yet extend, sassed into quick and complete eclipse. But the Overland had played Its part and a mighty one lathe. making of the "farther west." Then cam th wedding and Horn forgot everythinaT else.

Mom" bat Steve's face cot rod and ah laughed and ran back into the kitchen and Pete yelled, "hey, yoa aid you'd stick with me." but Steve wouldn't come in so Mom and Pete went oat and Steve looked at Mom and started crying and Mom pot her arms around her and said she guessed she knew and not tol cry then Mom started crying too and Pete looked at the two of them and Et a cigaret and said, "hey, you two, it's not a funeral,1' and Steve told him to shot his face and beat it; so Pete walked, out like he thought the two of them were "crazy; and Mom aad Steve had a lone talk; and Steve was real sen sible just as Mom knew sho would be;, and when Pete cam in Mom told him h was getting: a fine wife and Pete said, "yoa think I'm dumb, Mom? and then Mom kissed him and they were both em barrassed because it was the first time she had kissed Pete for a good many years as he never went away or anything and they weren't the kissing kind of a family, anyhow. Then Pete said: "How ' about Pop?" and Mom said for them to go on, she would take car of Pop and she knew the two of them had expected her to. So when Pop came back from downtown Mom broke it to him and the first this$ he said! was, "what do they mean, get mar ried," like he had no Idea at all and it was a great surprise to him; then Mom asked him if h hadn't had any eyes in his head for the last two or three years; but by that time Pop was well worked op about it and that eye dropped down aad h said he'd haw to. think about it, as if that made any dif ference; then ne started te walk up and down and preach about getting married in times like these and Mom told him about th times they! had got married in bat Pop said that was daerentt and when Kern asked him what he meant he looked at her like sho should know better' than ask such foolish questions-; so Mom let Iron talk and xet ft over! with; and as lock happened. Just as he had finished givinc her a hun dred reasons why Pete and Steve shooldat get married, who walkedi in hat unci Lome; and when he heard what was geHng on he said they were craxy to think of gwttingj reamed and brmginf more months into the world to feed. Then Pop turned an him and said he soeaaed if they brooght any months Into the world they could feed them all right aad they'd! never have te ask scenebedy else te feed them; and Uncle Low cam right back and said if Pop was throwing; any -hints at him he might as well come right oat with It and Pep said Uaele Loale church fell' on him. Then Uncle Louie asked Horn where. Pete was goinr to live and Horn' said the animoaed IhaVd aro to honaekceP- ing someplace and Uncle Loui said he would" take Pete's room. .Then Pop said, "by dang, you take the cake," and aince Uncle Louie was for the wedding Pop was against it again nata Mem told him h should be ashamed of. himself, -act. ling that way with a good boy like Pete aad the. onry thing wrong; wouldn't know a hint! vt a oncaube began naming rdce places Pete with him was he was afraid thefto the country and buy things from men at the factory wwuidbe calling! him grand pa then h looked: at bar fsnny and snoolt his need and said, "Lixsie, we mast be gttingvoieY but th fanny part was he seemed to like the idea of being a Grandpa; aad- that eye dropped down and he said. TH make a fighter out of the first one." and Kern asked' "him how he knew it would be a boy and Pop said -proudly, "didn't we have aU boys 7 Pep bad always taken a lot of credit for Pete and Tea being toys and Mom always had an idea he was sorry they never had twins so he could brae; about that, The men at the factory were fanny; if you listened to them you d think the mothers- had nothing to do with it. Then came the plans about the wedding. Pop was aU for a big wedding at first but Uncle Louie said they didn't need a big wedding la church bat should have a big dinner at home for aU the close relatives. Cousin Emmy tried to take charge of everything at once and made herself the one to stand cp with Steve and said she'd wear a new pink laee dress and Mom thought if the wedding didn't do any other rood at aU it would be a success if it got Cousin Emmy something else than her flowered chiffon she had been wearing to weddings and funerals and every thing else for so many years. Then Mom stopped aU of them and said it might be a good idea If the bride and groom had something to say about It, considering; it was their wedding; and Pop said, that's right, and looked at Uncle Louie and Uncle Louie gave Cousin Em my a black look. The only one with any sense about it was Tommy. He asked Pete where they were going on their honeymoon and Pete said he didn't know en account of the two garages that Steve's father could take care of one bat he waa afraid to leav the other one with Uncle Louie very longs then Tom atadied for a second aad said, "would yon leave It with met" and Pete looked surprised aad grateful aad said, "soie, Tom only I wemUal expect yon to do that." and Tom said,! "forget that, Pete yoa only ret married once so have a good time and asxythtey I caa do Just call oaJ me and stay as leer as yoa want. hfom' heart was oversowing jostl to watch the two ox them together, both fine boys la their own ways,1 and she thought it wa grand forf Tommy t say thmtte Fete; pxe- ulady because- Pete had always ho waa in college many the, dol lar Horn had sent Tommy which! had come from Pete's pocket. Then Pete said, with Tom InJ ehargvhe end Steve might take a little trip at that; and he began ttlnlrtnr. about places; then Tom asked him why, Instead of spentfingl car and the fare would pay a good part ef It and -he could probably use it later in the business. Pete shook Us head and said tt was a good idea; then Tom said he didat want to seem te be butting Ia bat might stop at, and things to see, which Pete appreciated on account of Tommy travelling around so much. And all the time poor Steve would just ' sit and watch Tom from behind as If he were some body awful great; and Mom knew Steve, was tickled pink because Tommy was taking .such an inter est because she, had always been afraid Tommy wouldn't approve of her. And Steve whispered to Mom that with a car they could drive oat the farmers t oe; ether and save money Mom eonld see Steve was going to be Uk herself and watch every penny. N - Most mothers were selfish but Mom tried to be real sensible about it. It was easy to see that Pete aad Steve were not the gadabout kind but the settling kind and Mont thought the sooner they were set tled down in a place of their own th better iben, if she wer taken, she'd know Pete would be in good handstand Pop, too. Steve would be faithful as the night was long and Pete would be, too, and that was something in these days. Steve was neat as a pin about the house aad could cook pretty good aad what she didn't know Mom would teach her as she was anxious to learn. s ' Mom had to laugh to herself ev ery time she thought of what Pete had said, Steve wasnt very good at sewing on account of notahaving any mother and Mom waa showing Iter how to whip a bit of lace oa a pillow slip and Pete stood watch ing for a minute with a look en bis face like he always had when he was teasing Steve and he said: "Give her a crowbar Instead of a needle, Mom " then Steve threw a pillow at him and ran him out. Mom hoped they would keep on like that hot en eonld never tell what life had fas store for a couple of young ones starting out together. Although Mom couldn't com plain. Pep had been a good man and no mother ever had two finer sons that Pete and Tommy and Tommy would be great again. Mom felt it ia her bones. It was fanny, sewing Steve's wedding things on the very seme ma e nine Mom's mother had sewed If em's wedding dress it had been blue.
