All diail is placed on the north
bound train that passes through
College Station each morning at
one-forty-nine and is routed at
Hearne. The mid-nite mail service
has long bean popular with a great
number of fttudenta who prefer to
write their letters during call-to-
quarters but it is highly probable
that some of the underclassmen
are not familiar with it. Mail
leaving on the night trains arrives
at its destination from twelve to
twenty-four , hours sooner than it
would if it were mailed the fol
lowing day. Moon says that the
service may be fully depended on
because it ia taken up every night-
except during the three holiday
periods of the year and just before
those holiday* announcements to
that effect are made in the mess
hall. It is true that the fair sex
commands a great portion of the
late mail but parents come in for
their share too, Moon said.

Aggies were i trailing 20-18 that
the Holmesman forged ahead due
to the timely foal-tossiag of John

To th# youthful Coach Ed OUf,
who graduated from the University
in 1927 and who is filling in hi*
second year as head basketball
mentor, is due much credit. He t<xA

Chesterfields are
Milder
W HEN you ask a Chesterfield
smoker w hy that's his brand — he
generally comes nnht but flat-footed and
says .. .“It’s because They’re MilderT*
So we're going to keep on doing
everything we know how to keep them
that way.
That’s wliy we look for and buy the
mildest and ripest tobaccos we can get.
That’s why we age them in our ware
houses till they’re mellow and sweet.
We believe that even the shredding
of the tobacco...und the quality of the
paper it’s rolled in, have a lot to do
with the even-drawing, mild smoke that
people enjoy in Chesterfields.
You can bank on this...every method
known to science is used to make Chest
erfield a milder, better-tasting cigarette
that satisfies.
