PERIsHABLE FREIGHT INCREASE
81 MILES OF CARS USED.

More perishable freight was shipped
by farmers of Southern New jersey
during the month of July than in any
previous month in the history of thai
section. A million and halt dollars
worth OF produce was distributed ovel
the New England States, the Middle
! West, aud Canada from points locat
ed on the West Jersey & Seashore
Railroad, part of the Pennsylvania
Railroad System.
In July, 1907, the value of produce
shipped by farmers of the six lower
counties of New Jersey was STAG, 800. co.
In 1908 the estimated value of the
shipments was 81, 17S, 10000, while
July of this year shows an increase
over 1908 of 1886, 10000. The total
number Of cars used to transport this
freight was 3, 909-over 81 miles oil
cars If placed end to end.
Two thousand, three hundred and
twenty-five cars of potatoes were
shipped from Southern New Jersey in
July, while it required 1,047 cars to
haul the tomatoes offered for trans
portation. The other $40 cars were
loaded as follows: Apples 5. berries
14S. claims and oysters 1856, fish 148,
peppers 19, poultry As, mixed carloads
9.
In the last three years the Pennsyl-
vania Railroad has been conducting
a development campaign in behalf of
the agricultural and comm ercial in
.erests of New Jersey. Commission
merchants, and buyers all over the
country have been supplied with lists
of reliable growers and shippers in
thar section, and the result has been
that the market for Southern New
Jersey produce has been greatly wild
ened. In addition, to enable the
farmer to market his products quick
ly aud secure the most advantageous
prices, special schedules have been
established and trains known as Pref
erence Freight" trains have been
operated. These have rights over all
other freight trains, and put the pro-
duce in the markets in the best pos
sible condition.
That the campaign conducted by
the railroad, together with the estab
lishment of fast freight service and
the Improvement of its facilities, has
put the farmers in Southern New Jer-
sey in touch with the consumers of a
very wide area is indicated in thesfol-
lowing distribution of the July ship
ments from that section:
Twelve hundred cars were sent to
Jersey City and New York, 628 to
Camden aud Philadelphia, Ais to Bos-
ton, 258 to other points in Massachu-
sets, 257 to Newark, 1853 to Pittsburg,
other points in Pennsylvania IA,
other New Jersey points IS, New York
points PIG, Ohio so, Chicago II, Mary
land points 2. Connecticut $50, Vermont
8, New Hampshire 81, Maine 81,
Rhode Island So, Toronto 10, Montreal
Is, aud Michigan 8.
The shipments in 1909 show an in
crease of 1854 cars over 1908, and 1881
cars over 1907.

noyance to the people who actually
come for pleasure, and not for curios-
1ty. The visitors come from along
the shore in automobiles, carriages
and by trains, for il is considered q
sight even better than four ringed
circus. Naturally. the crowd fluids
much to interest them in watching
the different sports.
That the modern farmer, even back
in the jersey pines. fs up to date in
many respects was evident from the
character of the gathering that went
there Saturday. Not only did many
OF them have splendid two-horse rigs,
but there were some who had auto
mobiles, demonstrating that farming
even in New Jersey, is paying prop
osition.
The farmers discussed the topics Of
the day-the tariff question and its
probable effects upon their vocation;
the best style Of airship; whether the
stand of Governor Fort for tue
New Idean would have the sup
port it deserved, and other topics
which made it evident that all of
them were not only readers of the
newspapers, made possible by the
extension of the rural delivery routes.
but that they were close students OF
the times, and especially of the po-
litical situation in New jersey.
As the sun disappeared to the west
ward the farmers aud their families
made preparations for their. home ward
journey, and by seven o'clock the
roads leading from Manasquan were
as thickly occupied with conveyances
RS they were in the morning before
breakfast time. That the majority
of the visitors who made this place
their Mecca had a good time, goes
without saying, and a tired happy
lot of people went to bed an hour
later than usual that night within the
confines of Monmouth and Ocean
counties, while the merriment along
the shore, at the fashionable hotels,
was but just beginning.

R1 ufaClurePS Of Vice.

Many communities spend large
sums every year for the capture
and punishment of criminals,
while at the same time they en-
courage people to become criml-
mails by allowing vice and feeders
of wee to flourish unmolested:
That this is true is evident to all
who has st en- some of the vicious
and indecent attractions which
abound in many places.
The policy that allows such
things to go on is a poor one fin
ancially when results are consld-
ere :. for the comparatively small
amounts received for licenses are
b It as a drop compared with the
vast expenditures for police and
other purposes. And from the
moral and social standpoint the
policy should be unreservedly
condemned.

A SQUARE DEAL.
All Advertisers Are Treated
Alike,

The COURIER has but one rate
to all advertisers and treats all
advertisers in the same manner
and squarely. 1t frequently
comes to US that we lose business
because the other papers make
concessions with respect to their
rates. We urge you not TO be
misled by newspapers which are
granting you concession In
that kind of a newspaper you
never know when you have
reached the bottom. You may
think you are favored, but your
neighbor is probably nearer the
bottom than you are.
The advertising department of
any newspaper is only conducted
r Chilly when the rate is the
same to everybody under the
same conditions. When a news
paper offers you a cheap rate,
you can easily bank on it that il
lis cheap newspaper and is con
scious of its own weakness anC
probably has a smaller circula
ton than it is generally credited
with.
The CoURIR wants all the ad
vertising that it's circulation de
serves and expects to charge
fair price for the same. A
present the COURIER knows tina
it has much the largest circula
ton in Dubois County and know
that commensurate with tina
circulation its rate is the lowest

money, advertiser the CoURIEF
