RAPID GROWTH
In Business Of Mt. Vernon
Telephone Co.
Now One OF Largest ID-
StitutiOnS OF County

Sixty seven times has the Mt. Ver-
non Telephone Co, sent out to its
stockholders a quarterly divident of
l 1-2%. This company has had
rapid growth and the volume of busi-
ness has become one of the largest in
the county.
Considering the number of tele-
phones (about 46OO), and the charac-
ter of construction, the capitalization
is low. Nearly $500 telephones in Mt
Vernon exchange and every one of
them needed and appreciated,
Under the new law there is every
reason 10 believe that investments
in public utility companies of this
class will be even more secure and
desirable. With about four hundred
stockholders, the very few transfers
show how desirable the investment Is
now considered,
No new stock has been issued for
more than two years and at times
there are calls for more stock than is
offered for sale. Transfers usually
come because Of some necessity and
can be arranged for with the officers
of the company. Persons desiring
stock can leave their names and will
be notified when any stock is offered
for sale.
OF the seven directors, three have
been with the company since the first
organization. All are active business
men who give their best efforts to
the problems for the success of the
company. The heads of some of the
departments are Mt. Vernon boys who
have grown up with the company and
have been steadfast In giving their
best to the work in charge and have
/ become proficient in their line. The
employees, one and all, are desirous
of pleasing the patrons of the com
pany and OF doing their best to make

service"

PRACTICAL
Address Given By Rev. F. !.

Before Mems Federation At
Mansfield, 0.
Mansfield News)

Nearly one hundred men were pres
ent at the Mems Federation in the
First Methodist church last evening.
Supper was served at $3.50 and an hour
of delightful social intercourse was en-
joyed by all. The Rev. F. l. Johnson,
district superintendent of the Mt. Yer
non district, was the speaker of the
evening. His theme was "The Boys
Problem and How to Help Him to
Solve IT.. It was easy to see from the
beginning that the speakers sympa-
thy was with the boy. He briefly re-
viewed the various schemes for young
people, including Young Peoples So
G. A. and showed that they had not
succeeded In solving the problem in
any large way. He then showed that
the home was responsible, and that
no matter how many outside organiza-
tions there may be they could never
lift the responsibility from the home.
If the home is good the boy has every
chance; If the home ic bad, he has
scarcely any chance, no matter how
much may be done for him outside.
He pleaded for more sympathy for the
boy and insisted that he was more
sinned against than SHINING" He in
sisted that our churches should give
large attention to the social life of the
young people and scored severely
some churches that were so narrow
as to exclude all kinds of gatherings,
excepting those that were strictly re-
ligious. He very forcibly reminded
us that the young people were bound
to have a good time and that if the
churches did not provide for that good
time under proper auspices they would
go elsewhere and have the good time
without much regard to the auspices.
The tone of the lecture was optimistic
throughout and all who heard 1t were
enthusiastic in it's praise.
DR.. Johnson will always be vel.
come visitor at the First church and
will command an audience whenever
announced.

tremulous voice stated that she had
overheard the discussion of a plan to
rob, that night, the North Main street

was talking, but declined TO reveal her
identity.
The lady who received the message
was very much perturbed over the in

such a peculiar manner. She was
alone at home. and was very nervous
