twenty four others were transferred
to this organization. I might say
that the Fourteenth Division, the
one that I came over with, was
turned into a replacement division.

just two days after they got back
from the lines with their ranks torn
and depleted. The men were ex
hausted and in bad condition so we
lay in reserve in the Argonne Forest,
where we were out of range of all
but long range guns and air raiders.
We staid there until the last big
drive was pulled off, which I believe
was about November second or
third. Then we followed the lines
during their rapid advance in the !
last days of the war. On the night
of Nov. 9th, we crossed the Meuse
river and took positions in support.
We did not do any shooting, but B
Co. fired a barrage the morning of
the 11th and had casualties. Tliei
firing continued up till the last
moment. The chaplain In our in
fantry was killed and three others
wounded at nine minutes till- eleven.
The chaplain was standing with the
stars and stripes in his hand ready
to raise it over our lines at eleven.
There was great rejoicing on both
sides of the lines when firing ceased.
The Germans came over and shook
hands with our infantry. We found
great joy in building fires and warm
ing up. While the fighting was on
there was no fires for five miles back
of the lines during the day or for
thirty miles during the night. You
can imagine what a privilege it must
have seemed to be able to come out
in the open and warm by a fire.

AN AMERICAN
TAKES A TRICK!
America's living men are busy every
where. You'll shout with pride to 'see
the German airplane brought down by a
i ankee lad. A close-up of the victor,
and the vanquished Hun.
Thanks to fearless army camera-men
you are with your boys every minute;
when they go over the top at four in the
morning and until they bring back ver
min covered Hun prisoners You see the
Yank artillerymen send the great shells
crashing into the German lines! You
will see a never-ending stream of boche
prisoners, with American- guards march
ing alongside.
If you have seen the other official gov
ernment war films, you will be more
eager to see "Under Four Flags." There
is something exciting every minute of
the two hours and you will agree that
two hours never passed
so quickly!
Fou your own sake and
the sake of the smiling,
stouthearted "boys from
home," who pounded the
fear of God into the un
speakable hun, go and see
" Under Four Flags." You
will never forget the ac
tual battle scenes which
the brave camera-men
have risked their lives to
send back to America.
Home Portraiture
Portraits taken in the home are often more natural
and pleasinghan when taken in the studio.
Until the 1st of March the people of Ileppner
can have pictures taken in their own homes at any
time.

Presented by
COMMITTEE ON PUBLIC INFORMATION, George Creel, Chairman
Through the Division of Films, Charles 8. Hart, Director, Washington, D. C.
Honorable Milton A. Miller, Collector of Internal Revenue, Portland, Oregon,
under date of January 17, 1919, makes the following statement in regard to the new
Income Tax Laws:
"The basic principles of the old laws will probably apply to the provisions of the
new, so. far as income tax is concerned, and it would be well for each individual, part
nership and corporation to prepare their figures, and ascertain the exact amount of
their income, so that the actual returns can be made with as little delay as possible."
It will save you time and money to have your Income Tax return correct. If you
don't pay a sufficient tax you will later be assessed the amount you should pay to
gether with a fine and penalty. If you pay too much a great amount of trouble and
delay is often experienced in obtaining a refund of the tax erroneously paid.
We will prepare your Income Tax statement for you
and assist you in determining your proper deductions
and exemptions from your gross income.
Besides conducting our Income Tax Accounting department, we make a specialty
of selling livestock, both at public auction and private sale. We have sold several
of the largest auction sales held in Eastern Oregon this Fall. If you have cattle,
horses, sheep or farm machinery for sale, hit us know.
If you want to sell or buy a stock ranch or wheat ranch,
or if you want to lease or rent a ranch, it will pay you to
consult us.
