1t was while leading his platoon in
raid in the Argonne Forest that the
youn" officer--he is only 23-was
hit b high explosive shell. His
left chest and shoulder were severe

His platoon was part of the 355tll
Regiment of the Soth Division. One
hundred and ninety men went into
the raid, led by Allen. and 28 came
out of it with their lives,
Lieut.. Allen had been previously

and gathering valuable information
OF the enemy positions.
I'VE helped clean up i'll the St.
Mihiel" said Lieut.. Allen, and on
October 10 were sent to the Argonne
Forest to relieve the 32d Division.
1T was all kamerad stuff during
the St. Mihiel drive but il was a
tight to the finish in the Argonne.
The Germans are pretty good fight
ers, but they could not stand the
fighting of our doughboys, In the
k.Argonne there was very little kam-
Grad, and this resulted in some fierce
fighting.
Our platoon was directed to make
raid in the edge of the woods OH
October 81. We advanced rapidly
until we were cut off from our bar
rage. Then the high-explosive shell
came along and it was too much for
me. was given first aid i'll hurry,
and then sent to the base hospital at
Royat, France

about the commentator conferred
on him and members OF the patrol
for their feat in August. 1T was
lnothing special he said. I'VE just
invent out in NO Mans Land and
kept our eyes open. We located the
positions of some machine guns and
sent this information back to the
artillery. The artillery did not open
up on them. but left them for the ad-
vancing troops.
Lieut. Allen was graduated from
the first officers training camp at

Dates County's Live Representative.

Hon. II. @. Maxey, Bates countys
present representative in the state
legislature, is rapidly gaining repu-
tation as legislator that is always
on the job. A few days ago a tariff
discussion was started by Represen-
tative Waring, OF Jasper county, i'll
Producing a resolution advising the
national congress to place a tariff on
lead and zinc for the benefit of the
miners" OF the district.
The matter was discussed at SOME
length and the resolution finally adj
opted by a strict party vote aiter
Speaker O'Fallon, who resolved HIM
self into Republican floor leader,
stopped the roll call to advise Re-
publican members who head the roll
call how to vote. Some OF them
seemed to agree with the Democrats
but on advice OF Speaker voted
their convictions
Representative Maxey, offered
resolution to the effect that in as
much as the gentlemen on the other
side of the house were SO interested
in the workingmen that resolution
should be forwarded to Washington
favoring bill that would give the
workingmen the tax OF two per
cent.
This was Immediately voted down.
Waring maintained that unless 4
tariff is placed on zinc that the oper-
alton of mines in the Joplin district
is impossible.
Representative, .Maxey reminded
him that they had been operated sue
cessfully and made many men rich
without tariff, and that he would
favor any .hinp that would really help
the workingmen of the district, but
that he was unalterably opposed to
anything that worked to the benefit
of the operator and not for the
miner.

Annual Shareholders and Directors
Meeting of the Peoples Bank.

The annual Shareholders and Di-
rectors meeting of the. Peoples Bank
was held January I4th, 1910. We
have been unable to obtain report
of the meeting until today because
some of the officers OF the institu-
ton have had Influenza We learn
the following officers and employees
were elected ]. r. Jenkins Chair
man Board of Directors; M. A. Car
roll, Secretary Board of Directors;
Wesley Denton. President; B. P
Powell, Vice President; L. r. ivy.
man, Cashier; Paul Shelton. Assist
ant Cashier; Helen l.. Stith, Clerk
and Bookkeeper and Thelma De
Bow, Clerk and Stenographer. There
were no changes made in the Board
of Directors. The usual semi-annual
dividend of 4 per cent was declared
and $eooo.oo added to the surplus
fund.
The total resources on December
3lst 1908, were $I35.65I.52; total re-
sources on December 3rst, 1918
$443,I5o.6o, showing all increase OF
$so7, 5oS.17. 1t is very unusual for
bank to make such a growth during
the first ten years of its existence
The success of the Peoples Bank has
been far above the expectations OF
the most sanguine. 1t has prospered
from the very start and has won for
itself the distinction of being one OF
the clean. strong. and growing finan-
cial institutions Of Southwest Mis-
souri,
ON tie day the bank opened, a
market report was installed which
has been continued to the present
time. 1t has been OF untold valuc
+t+- la and stuCkyT1V71 and many
OF them have shown their apprecia
tion of it by opening an account with
the bank.
Some two years ago the bank in
stalled an electrically driven posting
machine. This machine has made 1t
possible for the bank to give its
patrons the very best service and
makes it ,unnecess for the custom
er to wait for his pass book to be
| balanced.
Some months ago the bank pur-
chased number OF heavy steel
safety deposit boxes which will be
rented to the public within the next
week or so. They are as good as
money can buy and will be quite u
convenience for those who have in
their care insurance policies, bonds
land valuable papers.
r. There IS always AN atmosphere o.
Fellowship, good cheer, and desire
to accommodate pervading the insti'
tuition which makes one feel at home
| when he enters the bank.
The Peoples Bank has made
strength, service and courteous
treatment paramount since its or
ganization and has justly earned for
itself the slogan. The Bank on
Which You, Can Always Bank.

Local Food Administration Office
Discontinued.

On February I, Judge A. B. Owen
was relieved of one of the most
thankless and at the same time one
of the least remunerative positions
imaginable, that of county food adj
ministrator. The war being over the
necessity for the office ceased and
some days ago the Judge was noti-
fled to ship to headquarters the un-
used supplies that he might have on
hand as most of the food restrictions
had been removed and the work of
the administration would after that
date be conducted from the offices at
Washington.
Judge Owen has made most ex-
cellent food administrator and very
little complaint has been made Of his
rsdints. He first familiarized him
self with the laws and rules in re-
gard to the restrictions of sale and
use Of -foQdstuffs' and he was never
toe 6usy tos tourteously explain them
- those interested. His rulings,
