With business growing so rapidly that an increase in capital stock from $8,000 to $17,500 had become necessary, the stockholders of the Montgomery Book Stationery company had every reason to feel satisfied with the result of the past year's work. Although the company is but a few years old, it has been growing steadily, and it is hoped that the new capitalization will enable it to take care of its business without increasing capital for several years. Will H. Montgomery, who organized the company, and who is the active head, was re-elected president, E.

A. Hiller vice president and secretary and Earl McChesney treasurer. These men with Ralph Hiller and J. B. Smith make up the board of directors.

What Salina, plus energy and business ability, will do for a concern is well illustrated in the case of the Montgomery Book and Stationery company. Less than four years ago it was organized with $4,000 Today it has more than four times that much.

The force at the power plant discovered a short circuit somewhere in the lines Sunday morning and it was necessary to shut down the plant until the trouble could be located. After hunting for an hour and" a half a mouse was discovered in the switchbaord among the wires, its body charred to a cinder and still in contact.

In some way the mouse got in among the wires, and in attempting to jump from one wire to another was caught In contact with two lead wires and stuck fast, causing the power to go off while the current played through the body of the little animal. It scarcely seems possible that so Email a thing as a mouse could stop the electric power in nine towns, bul that is just what happened.
