FIRST NATIONAL BANK OF HERMISTON
With news favorable to the Allies, there should
be no slackening of diligence and determination to
win the war. Though the Nazis are on the run, and
the Italians fleeing, and the -Japanese making no
new gains, no prophets can yet predict how long the
battles, on land, in the air, on the sea and under the
sea, will last. The job must be well finished before
another Armistice is declared.
After that we will have the work, along with the
other Allies, of re-organizing the affairs of the
world. The reconstruction of new governments, the
restoration of world finance, the facing of social
problems, and the rehabilitation of cities and coun
tries, will require more brains, deep interest in hum
an welfare, and heavier finances than the conduct of
the war. So far we have only begun the task that
must end in a rebuilt, modern world.

After all, it has been only a regular Fall. We hope
it will be one of those Winters that “aint”.

jail their husbands, do it partly for
spite, but most of them do it be
cause they are psychopathies, ac
cording to a recent investigation.
One ex-wife had a private fortune
of $200,000 and still jailed her hus

her husband jailed because he
failed to pay her $50 a week al

lawyers for this dilemma, stating
that divorced women arc persuaded
