In order to put more money in circulation throughout the
country Uncle Sam has created the Federal Reserve Banks.
Suppose John Doe has purchased merchandise to the extent of
$10 from Richard Roe & Co. and desires credit on same longer—
for 60 days.
The banks have furnished a “Trade Acceptance” which looks
like this.

Mr. Roe then takes this Trade Acceptance to his local bank
who sends it in to the Federal Reserve Bank nearest and this
money is then credited back to the local bank for FURTHER
CIRCULATION IN HERMISTON.
The Trade Acceptance has been recommended by Uncle Sam
in these war times. We feel that it is a patriotic duty to use this
form of extension of credit at this time and thus HELP UNCLE
SAM PUT MORE MONEY INTO HERMISTON.
For further information consult your banker or we will be
glad to explain.

Olovannaya, Trans Baikal —The Si

elared war on Germany, and has or
dered the mobilization of the 1918 and
1919 classes.

raine.—The St. Mihiel salient has
been wiped out and the enemy forces
are now virtually with their backs on
the famous Wotan-Hindenburg line
with the Americans and French paral
leling them closely from Verdun to
the Moselle.
Before the American attack the Ger-
man defense caved In and Pershing’s
troops swept on hours ahead of their
schedule.
The performance of the Americans
stationed on the western side of the
St. Mihiel salient, with the assistance
of the French, constitutes one of the
most brilliant pages of American his
tory thus far in the great struggle.
It was this unit which accomplished
two of the most notable strategic
moves of the offensive. The first was
the taking of Les Eparges hill, which
had cost the French many casualties
in the last four years. The second was
the daring march of an American regi
ment at night through woods infested
with Germans to Vigneulles. there to
effect a liason with troops working
from the eastward.
In carrying out these two moves the
allies encountered the stiffest opposi
tion of the offensive. They fought
desperately and counter attacked re
peatedly.
Vilcey-Sur-Trey and Norroy, near
the Moselle, were included in the ter
ritory regained by the Americans when
the line stretching from the Hinden
burg positions was swung slightly up

Both American wings are reported to
be straightening out and co-ordinating
their positions across the late St. Mi
hiel salient. Our patrols now control
the area between the American lines
and the Hindenburg reserve defenses.
The Germans are digging in far to
the rear, rather than attempting to
dispute the American gains effectively.
