PENDLETON'S CAMPAIGN.
Pendleton's "pep" or shall we use
the word the University of Oregon
boys have imported from the East,
"Jaz" is to be admired.
The people are making a red-hot
campaign for the Eastern Oregon nor
mal school.
Since J-a Grande is not campaign

All for Eastern Oregon, and East
ern Oregon for all.

EDITORIAL COMMENT.
Halloween
Suggestions
Next to Fourth of July and Christ
mas there Is no time In the year
which offers young folks opportunity
for better times Uan Halloween. Of
late years It Is the fashion among
grown ups to decry the age old cus
tom of young folks playing pranks and
cutting up capers on Halloween, writes
a correspondent of the Iowa Home
stead. There Is a limit, of course, to
everything. When It comes to waking
up In the morning and finding the bug-'
gy astride the barn roof, an outhouse
overturned and mischief created gen
erally we are apt to get rather hot un
der the collar and mete out stern pun
ishment to the offenders. One of the
hardest things to remember as we grow
old Is that we were once young our
selves. I am not going to plead In advance
for the young folks who will get Into
The Observer prints many editorial
expressions from other newspapers.
Not all of them does its editor asrree

Margaret Sanger has established ;i
birth control clinic in New York City.
If she were busy raising a bunch of
babes of her own, and loving them,
she wouldn't be so busy with other
people's business.
One good way to get the women'3
votes would be to promise to lower the
high cost of living.
Cattle raising pays.
Even the Indians can make money
at it.
Fifty-one carloads were sold at Chi

from the Government policy of using

"Two years ago we purchased for

A "NEST EGG"
Misfortune is liable to overtake you
in money matters. Then it is that a
good sized "Nest Egg" in the Bank
comes in "powerful handy."
Over and over again have we seen
comforting relief come to those who
had accumulated a fund in this bank.
If you haven't started an account,
now is the time to do it.
In seasons of prosperity, place a part
of your income in our bank. Some
day this fund may carry you over a
rough and rocky road.
JCa CJrande fational &ank
Ing would be better than to get togeth
er at a good, old fashioned Halloween
party.
What could be merrier than to play
the old time gnmes In the dim candle
light, pretending to be afraid of spooks
and all that sort of thing; bobbing for
apples In a tubful of water, trying to
natch a bite as the apple swings tan
tallzlngly on the string, and , all the rest
of that good natured. Innocent, Jolly
sort of fun that used always to be asso
ciated with Halloween and its parties?
We must not get old before our years.
Let us all keep young as long as we
can. After all, that's the only excuse
there Is for Halloween. It offers an
opportunity to throw, the years off our
shoulders and be Just boys and girls
again, though our hair Is white, our
years many and our burdens heavy.
Here's for a Jolly, good natured, old
fashioned Halloween.
Jack o' Lantern.
The O'Lanterns nre a magic rac6
Who come from pumpkin fields.
For every one who meets them
To their charm of manner fields.
They are gifted, like the fairies.
The children round them ewarm.
And by their grinning silence
Every heart they'll surely warm.
But the member of the family
Toward which we fondly lean
I little Jack o' Ijintern,
The king of Halloween.

EVILS OF ALCOHOL.
The use of alcohol, except In
very great moderation, is so dan
gerous Unit I believe the men
and women who make n practice
of drinking ought to bo ostra-
elsicd and received with mote or
less contempt, the same as drug
4- users, because If we coiinle-4-
nance or overlook drinking and
do not scorn those who miike
this a practice it will continue
and grow, much as It Is doing
now. We know there Is notli-sfc-
lng that prevents one from do-
lug wrong more quickly than the
4r evil Impression one creates with
4r tho loss of friendship. J. Wal
