HOME-COMING GAME SATURDAY
. - The Eastern Oregon Normal school is completing plans to-
day for its annual home-coming football game here next Sat
j urday afternoon, a game that will bring College of Idaho of
Caldwell, against the Mountaineer eleven.
In spite of the known strength of the visiting team, there
are indications that the E. 0. N. squad will be equal to the
task of holding off an Idaho victory. Coach Bob Quinn has
developed one of the finest football teams 'ever put together
in this section of the state, in fact, one of the finest teams
. ever assembled m any Northwest school of this size.
A battle royal of the gridiron is assured a football
-game worth going many miles to see. This city, as well as
all of Eastern Oregon, should support the game handsomely
not only to have the fun of watching a thrilling contest, but
also to pay respects to the school, which is giving such a
; valuable educational service to Eastern Oregon.
. ' Particularly should La Grande men and women support the
' school and team by attending the game! Eventually " the
; Normal school here can be the greatest asset to La Grande
business stability this has been proven time and again
in other college towns and it is our duty to do what we
; can to help the school and its extra-curricular activities,
whether they be sporting, dramatics or what not.
Everyone possible should be at the gridiron Saturday af
ternoon. Prospects seem to be for a game and excilfement
that will live a long time in memory.

on the back of the

YOU.oficu hear tfie wore! balance some
thing is out of balance top-heavy, not
on an "even keel."
What you read, "Chesterfield Cigarettes
are a balanced blend," means that the right
amounts of the right kinds of tobacco, are
welded together; that is, home-grown tobac
cos, the right kind, the right quantity are
blended and cross-blended with tobaccos
from Turkey and Greece. r
When these tobaccos are balanced one
against the other, then you have a niiM
cigarette.
When they are in balance, then you have
a better-tasting cigarette.
