Of her former chauffeur, Hugo Wieden-
bach. brought by Mrs. Wiedenbach.
She denied that she had been served
with proper notice of the action. Her

counsel for Wiedenbach, appeared in Su-
preme Court at Long Island City and
asked Justice Frank S. Cannon to set
aside an order issued a month ago by
Justice Fawcett directing Jury to fix
damages because Mrs Platt had de-
faulted in answering the action.
THE first time Mrs. Platt knew such
an action had been brought was when
she read about II In the newspapers"
Mr.. Fuller asserted. Justice Cannon said
he would have to take evidence on this
point, and directed Mrs. Plat to appear
before him tomorrow afternoon.
The possibility that sensational de-
velopments may be forthcoming was sug-
gested in an affidavit by Wiedenbach in
answer to an action which his wife has
brought against him for separation. In
this ne charged that his wife had been
persuaded to bring the aliena ton action
by influence Of DR.. Platt, and that the
latter had driven Mrs. Plat from her
home" using Wiedenbach as an Eek
cuse."
Mrs. wiedenbach and Mrs. Plat were
in court during the argument on the mo-
ton to set aside Justice Gannon's order.

Prosperous Yearfor
First National Bank
CASHIERS STATEMENT SHOWS
1920 LEADS ALL OTHER YEARS
IN PROSPERITY-SAME BOARD
OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICIALS
ELECTED

The annual meeting of the share
holders OF the First National Bank
was held on Tuesday, January llth'
The entire board OF directors as
now constituted was reelected for
this year, and are: E. V. Carter, c.
H. Vaupel, o. Winter, Geo. W. Dunn,
w. H. McNair, Thos. H. Simpson, F.
D. Wagner, E. D. Briggs and j. W.
Mccoy.
The board in turn selected the
same Officers and employees to serve
this year as follows: e. V. Carter,
president, C. H. Vaupel, vice-presi-
dent; ]. w. Mccoy, cashier; ]. H.
Hardy, H. C. Emery and G. H. Wen
ner, assistants Hazel Powell, Aileen
Walker and Walter p. Miksch,
bookkeepers.
The cashier made the usual detail
ed report as to receipts and dis
bursements, showing 1920 TO have
been,by far, the most successful year
in the history of banking in Ashland.
Interesting points brought out in
Mr.. McCoys report are as follows:
Payment of $16,745.24 interest to
depositors, being about 40% higher
than the largest years payment
heretofore made by any bank OF
Ashland.
Payment of 10% OF annual salaries
to all employees as recognition Of
loyal and efficient service.
Payment of $5,S21.42 in city,
county, state and government taxes.
Deposits for the year have averag-
ed over 1926, 6,O0O-an increase of
approximately 1870 over average for
1919. Highest point during the year
was on Nov. 23, when the total de-
posits reached 81, 1,061,071.14.
The actual number of accounts
was increased about 375. total new
accounts opened in excess of 500.
The bank again invested many
thousands of dollars for its deposit
ors and without any loss to those
for whom investments were made,
due precaution having been taken
in all instances to prevent loss on
account OF non delivery or fraud.
These items are not given so much
as an indication of the success of the
First National Bank as to show that
the confidence OF its Officers and
directors in our city and surround
ing country being the best place on
earth. is not misplaced.
Ashland has not seen any of the
enormous profits (nor proriteeringD
of some other districts, nor is it
feeling nor destined to feel the ex-
treme reaction produced by reduc
tion in values ard unemployment
which are now so disturbing to the
other localities.
Most of the farmers and business
men have recognized the era of lower
prices which are to prevail and have
already taken their losses and will
go cheerfully on with business On
this account the prediction is freely
and confidently made that 1921 will
be bigger and better than ever"

STATE BANK OF ASHLAND
HOLD ANNUAL MEETING
SATISFACTORY CONDITION IN
BUSINESS AND TOTAL EARN.
INGs FOR THE PAST YEAR RE.
SUITS FROM REPORT OF THE
CASHIER-RETAIN ADDITION.
AL RESOURCE INSTEAD OF
DIVIDENDS.

The annual meeting of the stock.
holders of the State Bank of Ashland
was held on Thursday of this week
at which time the reports of the bust
ness of the past year were gone over
and the board of directors chosen for
the ensuing year.
The report Of the cashier showed a
very satisfactory condition of the
banks affairs both from the stand
point of total business and earnings
for the past year. A substantial in
crease in average deposits for 1920
over 1919 was shown, the greatest
increase being in the savings depart
ment where it amounted to more
than twenty per cent. The net
earnings upon the capital stock Of
$4,000 was shown to be about 13
per cent for the year 1920, making
the undivided profit account at the
close of the year approximately
$S5O0.O0.
Instead of declaring a dividend to
stockholders, the board of directors
decided 10 retain this as an additional
resource of the bank as a further
protection to depositors. $2500.00'
was carried to the Surplus account
which is now $4,000. 90, and $4,000. 90
charged off building, and furniture
and fixtures accounts, still leaving a
substantial sum in the undivided
profit account.
The board of directors for the new
year is composed of o. Winter presi-
dent; F. D.. Wagner, vice-president;
E. V. Carter, c. H. Vaupel, G. w.
Dunn, T. H. Simpson and W. H. Nc

iod Of service, will continue to serve
