United States Army
Recruiting Station Gets
Many Men.

The U. S. Army Recruiting Sta
tion at this place, which opened
up it's office ON Pine Street last
March 26th, has had seventy-eigh
applicants from Fitzgerald and the
neighboring towns to apply for en-
listment up to June 10th. Fifty
three men applied for Coast Ar
tiIltry Corps, one for Field Artil-
lery and twenty four for for Infan-
try.
Recruiting for the army is stead
ily on the increase all over the
States.
The Calvary branch has been
filled up to it's normal strength
since last January. The Field Ar
-tillery reached it's normal status
last March.
The increase of pay, which took
effect on May 18th last, is bring
ing lots of old soldiers back into
the service.
Many men enlist in the army
for the purpose of seeing something
of the world. A soldier has the
opportunity free of cost to Sc e Gu
ba, Hawawii, the PHILIPPINE Is
lands, Alaska and other places.
Numbers enlist for training and
discipline which they receive while
wearing the uniform of the "Great-
est Country in the World. F" Lots
of them enlist for the purpose of
taking up some of the special i'll
ducements offered to pharmacists,
musicians, bandsmen, electricians,
clerks, bakers, cooks, BARRIERS,
transfers, carpenters, blacksmiths,
farriers and other mechanics.
Within the last year, about 80
per cent of the men discharged
from the service, have re-enlisted.
The pay of a soldier is from flf-
teen to seventy five per month, and
is increased 20 per cent while on
foreign service. A man that re-
enlists within three months after
his last discharge, receives three
months pay free gratis, and also
gets an increase of pay from three
to four dollars per month for every
re-enlistment. If a man dies while
in the service, his nearest relative
will receive six months pay.
There are many chances for a
man to improve his Workmanship,
and he receives a medal if he quail
fies, also extra pay as follows: For
expert riflemen, five dollars; sharp
shooter or first class gunner, three
dollars; marksman or second class
gunner, two dollars per month.
There are many other Opportuni
ties for extra pay.
1t is rumored that the Recruit
ing office at this place will be
closed up in the near future, as
the service is nearly filled up to its
authorized strength of 5000 men.

STRADDLE-B BUGS.

In local or county elections the Herald never
takes sides believing it right to treat all neigh
bors and friends alike; but when it comes to
national and state elections we propose to dis
cuss men and issues just as you, dear reader,
and other folk do, aud the man who thinks
he can intimidate or scare us by withdrawing
his patronage is barking up the wrong tree.
We have just as much right to our opinions
as other people; and, furthermore, have a
supreme contempt for straddle bug
During the recent campaign six citizens of
Berrien county Quit taking the Herald because
we didn't happen to see things as they saw
them. They are welcome to 60, but we do
think it was the most childish thing they
have done since the've been grown.-Nash
Vile Herald.
Editor Sweat is one of the editors of the week
ly press we admire
The Enterprise always takes sides, and in the
very warm county campaign we lost only one sub
scriber, that is sorry white man ordered his
wIfes paper stopped, not subscriber stopped his
paper on account of our strong stand in state poll
tics.
Here is where we differ with the Herald It
is the sacred duty of the Enterprise, the Herald
and every other county paper to tao sides in local
politics Whea il is apparent that wrong may
be done, that harri Will come from the election
or defeat oi a candidate for local office IT'S well
Enough to treat all neighbors and friends alike
when DO harm will come to the public.
But suppose hundred subscribers had stop
ped their papers, that is not an evidence ola wrong
on the part of the publisher but an indication of
imbecity on the part of Sweats "durn fool' sub

We trust that our Berlien county ncighbor
will grow until he adopts the theory that be has
perfect right publisher to favor who he pleases
in local as we'll as state and national politics.
Otherwise he cannot be as useful nor as honest
with his readers

WHY THE ENTERPRISE FAVORS PROHIBITION.

We favor a stringent prohibition law. We
did for the city and county and we did for the
state we do now favor prohibition for the country
at large.
We have good reasons the traffic in intOxi-
cants as beverage is crime. Its crime against
helpless women and children mainly, but it's also
a crime against every man that is debauched there
by.
The time will soon come when every civilized
people will outlaw instead Of giving legal recog.
milton to traffic custom that destroys the in
tellect and dwarfs the moral man.
No well informed man doubts that it is the
cause of most of the crimes committed in every civ
ilized country In Maine Kansas and other pro
hibitiOn states crime has been reduced more than
half in these states where the law has been but
feebly enforced. In our own state, in the capital
city of Atlanta the police records show marked
improvement in the general good order of the town.
In the first three months of 1907 under the open
saloon there were 2, 666 arrests for disordery
duct due largely to whiskey. In the corresponding
three months of 1908 there were ,637 arrests for
the same offense, decline of nearly 40%. Ar
rests for drunkenness fell off from 1928 to 398,
over 74, and arrests for dling and lettering from
declined nearly 62%, from 5,277 to 2,01O
In our own city the effect is too well kno wn
to warrant republishng in this article. The idlest
people in the city are the police.
The whiskey traffic is not only prolific of
crime but destroys the human body
Between the ages of fifteen and twenty,
when ten total abstaners die, eighteen moder-
ate drinkers die.
Between the ages oftwenty thirty, when ten
total abstaners lie, thirty,one moderate
drinkers die
Between the ages of thirty and forty, when
ten total abstaners die forty moderate drink
ers die.
Or, expressing the fact in another way:
A total abstainer twenty years old has the
chance of living forty four years longer, or
until sixty four years old
A moderate drinker has the chance of living
fifteen and one half years longer or until thir
ty-five and one half years old.
A total abstainer forty years old has the
chance of living twenty eight and one fourth
years longer or until sixty eight and one-half
years old.
moderate drinker forty years old has the
chance OF living eleven and two thirds years
longer, or until tifty-one and one half years old.
Maine the oldest prohibition state in the union
has 179 men in her penetentiary Georgia has
1896 Maine has $171 in the savings banks for
each inhabitant Georgia and the whiskey states
run way below the hundred dollar mark. Forty
nine out of every hundred families their
homes. while in Massachusetts, only eighteen
Connecticut nineteen, and New York seventeen
families out of every hundred own their homes.

There are three veny i'm
portant points to be given
thorough consideration be-
fore making an investment.

The most important is, Who are the
men in charge of the enterprise in which
you are going to invest your money?
The safety, efficiency and success OF
every business, no matter what it is, de-
pends entirely upon the integrity and
business efficiency of very few men.
When you buy stock in the Southern
Pacific railroad you place your conf
dence in Mr.. Hartman When you de-
posit your money in bank you place
your confidence in the banker.
No matter what securities you invest
in, the safety of your principal depends
upon the integrity of the men who man
age the corporation issuing the securi-
ties.
Consequently, it is we'll to know who
you are associating with when you in
vest.
The officers and directors of the Ocean
Shore Railway Company are we'll known
San Francisco businessmen. These men
have reputation for business honor and
integrity, and thoSe who know them will
assure you positively that your interests
will be guarded as safely and carefully
as their own.
The officers and directors of the Ocean
Shore Railway Company are:
The San Francisco call., 1908-04-26
The Ocean Shore has the
only site for a large union
depot in San Francisco.

Their property at 11th, 18th, Mission
and Market streets affords an excellent
location for the largest union depot in
the world.
The Ocean Shore runs very closely to
the Santa Fe, the Western Pacific and
the Southern Pacific, and it would be
very simple matter for these roads to
come into union depot over the lines
of the Ocean Shore, making it very con-
venient for San Franciscans to enter or
Ieaye the city at a popular and accessi-
BILE center.
These terminal facilities are worth
more than the entire bond issue of the
Ocean Shore railroad.
The San Francisco call., 1908-04-26
If you have money there are
many excellent reasons why you
should invest in Ocean Shore Bonds
and get. $500 interest

and further, if the company in which you
are stock holder fails to pay the inter-
est on their bonds the bond holders step
in and take the company and you as a
stock holder not only lose what you pay
for the stock but you are liable for the
debts of the company to the amount of
the stock you own. Therefore, it is easy
to see why bonds are safer than stocks
as an investment.
The San Francisco call., 1908-04-26

The more people who own Ocean
Shore bends, the more friends and pat
rons will the road have, which will nat
urally help to increase business.
Ocean Shore bonds are secured by
100000 mortgage This mortgage is
held in trust for the bond holders by the
Mercantile Trust Company OF San Fran
cisco. The interest on these bonds IS
paid in May and November OF each year.
If you own Ocean Shore bonds, all
you have to do is to cut off the coupon
in May and November and cash it at
your bank or at the office of the Mercan-
tile Trust Company or the Office OF the
Ocean Shore Railway.
Should the road ever fail to pay this
interest the stock holdSs would be re-
sponsible to the bond holders and the
road would be sold by the trust company
to repay the bond holders the amount
of their investment.

The San Francisco call., 1908-04-26

The next point to consider
is. What do you get for your
money!
What is the class of security, how is
it secured and are the assets back of the
security adequate to protect you against
every possible loss?
When you buy Ocean Shore bonds you
get first mortgage, thirty year gold
bond secured by $5,OOO,OO0 mortgage
and 100000 of assets of the Ocean
Shore Railway, including over 100000
of valuable real estate sin the heart of
San Francisco and Santa Cruz, valuable
railway rights-of-way, franchises and
and innumerable other things which con-
stitute the property and assets OF large
railway system.
When you buy railway bond you buy
security which is recommended by all
bankers, trust companies, flnanciers and
estates as the very highest grade Of Sc
curity.
Railway bonds are purchased by
banks and savings banks because OF their
absolute safety.
During the panicky conditions which
prevailed last October and November the
United States government came to the
relief of the national banks and loaned
them millions OF dollars in gold, taking
as security railway bonds.
! A railway bond is definite promise to
pay If the interest is not paid the
bond holders, represented by the trust
company holding the mortgage on the
corporation, step in and represent the
bond holders and the railroad belongs
to them.
A bond is nothing more or less than a
mortgage divided into small parts, and
you, as bond holder, hold a part Of
this mortgage. The bond buyer has no
taxes to pay, no assessments can be
LEVIED against him; the corporation offer
ing the bonds simply owes him money
and the loan is secured by mortgage
held in trust by the trust company.

own money In this road.
They have sold over S2,250OOO of the
bonds of the railway and have invested
this money economically and carefully.
The road, as it stands today, represents
an investment Of S5,25O,OOO and its as
sets are valued at over 100000.
$2,50o,o00 is required to complete the
road in accordance with the present
plans. When completed and electrified
the time to Santa Cruz will be two hours
and 80 minutes, and high power, modern
electric cars will carry San Francisco
passengers TO Santa Cruz without stops.
The Ocean Shore will be the only
modern electric railway running out of
San Francisco and Santa Cruz, and rail-
way experts and engineers who have
been over this line figure that the. COM
pany will never be able to take care of
the passenger traffic which will be Of
fered to it.
1t is we'll known that the Huntington
suburban lines have been big factor in
the development of Los Angeles and
it's suburban towns.
During the Shriners' convention in
Los Angeles last May the Huntington
lines carried so per cent more passengers
each day than the entire population Of
Los Angeles.
On July these Los Angeles electric
lines carried 1000 passengers to the
beaches.
The Southern Pacific Railway Com
pany carried over 100000 passengers to
Santa Cruz last summer.
Santa Cruz being off the main line of
traffic, these passengers spent from four
to FIVE hours going to Santa Cruz
When the Ocean Shore is electrified
and running through to Santa Cruz, it
will carry half million people every
summer, for San Franciscans can go to
Santa Cruz in the morning, spend a
pleasant day on the beach and return to
their homes in time for dinner.
There is timber belt north of Santa
Cruz along the line of the Ocean Shore,
where 100000 feet of redwood tim
Der is waiting to be hauled to market.
The Ocean Shore will haul this tim
Der to San Francisco and other points,
and will lay it down at a reduction of 25
per cent over the present cost OF trans
portating lumber to this city.
This will not only afford splendid rev.
enue to the company, but it will enable
home builders in this section to build
their homes at a much lower cost than
at present.
The San Francisco call., 1908-04-26
Most railway bonds pay
about 81 % to 419To while
Ocean Shore bonds pay 5.43 20
on their present selling price.

Ocean Shore bonds net the investor
much higher rate of interest than is
usually secured on bond investments.
Every dollar received from the sale of
Ocean Shore bonds goes to build the
road between San Francisco and Santa
cruz
This money employs men who would
otherwise be idle. 1t puts money into
circulation; it increases business; it en-
ables the farmers and dairymen, lumber
millers, owners of bitumen and lime
quarries and many others to get their
products to market at reasonable rate.
The Ocean Shore is developing very
fertile and naturally resourceful country
between San Francisco and Santa Cruz
It is developing many new suburban
towns and enabling San Francisco peo-
pie to build their little homes along the
ocean and in every way is helping to
build up and develop San Francisco and
Santa Cruz and the country in between.
The distance between San Francisco
and Santa Cruz is 80 miles on the Ocean
Shore line Over 40 miles of track has
been completed and trains are now run
ming between San Francisco and Faral-
lone City, "a miles, and also between
Santa Cruz and SCOTS creek, 10 miles.
The San Francisco call., 1908-04-26

The. earnings of the Ocean
Shore are now over 800 per
month.
AS soon as the road can buy more cars
and engines these earnings can be ma
terially increased, for at the present time
the Ocean Shore has more business than
it can take care of.
Every Sunday hundreds of people are
turned back for lack of seating capacity
on the trains. Freight arrangements
have already been made which will net
the company over 100000 year. Other
arrangements will. soon be made which
will increase these earnings to consid-
erably more than is necessary to pay the
interest on the bonds.
