DEGIN BUYING AND BOOST
BUSINESS
The “Buy Now” campaign which
has been started by the federal gov-
i mment deserves wholehearted sup-
ort of every citizen for it ip
i ound feature of the National Re
covery Campaign.
It is the hope df the national
•ad era that the campaign will start
a new wave of business iraprove-
. ient that will sweep the country
before the Christmas buying sea
son begins.

have done without things that
would ordinarily buy during the
I-ast three years. Prieaa are advanc

to take advantage of the low prices
that prevail. It is a wholesome ef-
ort to stimulate activity.
There must be injected into the
campaign more than just the need
for things, there must be the qpirit
of patriotic loyalty to a plan to aid
i bringing about recovery.

It was neces.ary to remove what
had been one of the oldest and
I rctiiest trees on the G. M. C. Cam
pus the past week. It ..ad gone into
decay and ww practically dead. The
job of removing it was given to
several negroes, who agreed to re
move it Ifor the tree. They dug it
up and the removal of a quant iy
of dirt was required. When the dig
ging was finished, it was necessary
to cut off a large limb and then
the tree fell with a crash. It made
a quantity of wood.
