CORRESPONDENCE REGARDING
THE UNION STATION

Mr.. R. F. Rogers,
President Board of Trade, Ocala, Fla.
Dear Sir: In connection with the
change of the location of the Ocala
union station.
AS stated to you while in Ocala,
have handled this matter with the
management and they have confirm
ed what / have already stated, that
is, that the matter has now reached
such progress that it will be a diff
cult matter to hold up the construc-
ton of this station.
You will remember that when the
commissioners ordered the union sta
| ton to be built we made every effort
| to purchase the H. B. Masters proper
ty. You will also remember that
Ifhese people demanded the enormous
and prohibitive sum of $40,000.00 and
the matter was discussed with the
representative citizens, board of trade
and city council about six months ago,
and it was admitted by those present
that the sum asked was unreasonable
and the members present stated that
road held up in this manner.
We have made every effort to Sc
cure desirable property on which to
erect this station and we have COM
piled fully with the order of the COM
misioners and in view of the fact that
the contract has been let and part of
the foundation laid it is rather late
to raise an objection now, even though
the station is completed on the loca-
ton selected l can see no reason why
the travelling public should suffer any
convenience for the reason that none
of our freight trains can occupy the
main track or block the crossings
while our passenger trains are at the
station, and after the old buildings
are removed it will afford drivers as
well as pedestrians a more clear view.
However, if the city council, board
of trade and representative citizens
can make satisfactory arrangements
with the contractors as well as the
railroad commission to hold up on
ohis work until the matter has been
otherwise the work will have to pro-
coed.
On receipt of this l would be glad
to have you advise.
Yours truly,

Financing the Baby's Future
By ALBERT W. ATWOOD

OUR baby, born six weeks ago, received
~ $500 from relatives. should like to in
vest this in such way that it will keep on
growing as he grows. What do you suggest?
MERE are so many different ways of
investing $500 that it would take
bold person indeed to lay down any
hard-and-fast rule and say: Here is the
only way to do it," Unless the mother
who asks the question, and her husband,
are most persistent and determined peo-
pie, l am inclined to believe that some
form of child's endowment might we'll be
reserted to for a small part of the funds.
1t has marked advantages.
Up to the time the infant is one year
old, it is possible, in return for $27.94 a
year, to obtain an endowment policy
from a leading insurance company which
insures the payment to the child, when
he reaches the age of twenty-five, of
$1,000. That is, when he is entering bust
ness and needs money most he will have
it in return for very small annual cost.
In this case nothing is refunded if the
child dies; but by paying a slightly extra
sum, LAP instead of $2794, all the
money paid in is refunded to the parents
at any time if the child should die.
4 Start in College
SUPPOSE the boy wants to go to college
when he is eighteen years old. One thou
sand dollars will give him fine start, and
by beginning any time before he is a year
old, S46.29 a year will do it, or S5l.23
with premiums returned In either of the
two eases it may safely be assumed that
4 Lo 4 i,tl,
will give him anywhere from say $40 to
$50 year on his birthdays and Christ
mas holidays, so that the parents will not
be burdened to raise the $50 or $50, as
the case may be. Then, after he is twelve
or thirteen years old, the boy probably
will be able to earn enough in his summers
or during the school year to pay the rea-
lively small sum not obtained by gifts
from doting aunts and uncles.
Child's endowment has the great adj
vantage of being absolutely safe and sure,
safer than any single investment which an
individual could possibly make, because
a big insurance company has its own in
vestments so widely distributed that loss
is practically impossible. 1t is highly de-
sirable to begin childs endowment at age
one, because the payments are so much
smaller and easier to meet than later on.
We now have either $3.50 or about 500
left to invest. The odd amount, the $50
or $40, might we'll he put into one share
of good preferred stock. Fifty dollars
will buy one share of American Gas &
Electric preferred one of the best of the
public-utility holding companies, to pay
6 per cent. AS for the So if one wants to
be exceedingly conservative, there is Bal
timore & Ohio preferred, to be had to pay
about ) per cent Or a careful study of
any table of public-utilty stocks will re-
veal several preferred issues which are
safe enough for all practical purposes,
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1916-04-16

selling in the seventies or eighties, to pay
g per cent. or more.
No doubt the statement will meet with
criticism, but | believe the remaining
5000 might well be placed in either one
of two Standard Oil concerns-Ohio Oil,
or Prairie Oil & Gas. The immediate re-
turn in the way of dividends will be small,
but the future return is likely to be very
large. These are rich, strong, well man
aged concerns under Standard Oil guild
ance and are chosen because their stocks
happen to be selling around POO at this
writing. ANY one who has bought Standard
Oil stocks in the past and held on to them
has always profited generously. As far as
can now be seen, there is no reason to ex-
pect change in this respect in the future.
800 Bonds
I F the idea of buying stocks of this char
acter does not appeal, then there are
many 500 bonds. suggest st. Paul
convertible 412s coming due in 1882, just
when the boy will be going to college.
They are exceedingly safe and pay little

cost $lO3.5O. For about S95.75 there can
refunding mortgage per cent. bond, to net
$50 per cent. a year, and it will be paid
off when the boy is twenty-seven years old.
If larger return is desired, there are
several moderately safe baby bonds to pay
around per cent. In any ease, the inter-
est that is received on the stocks and
bonds should be placed in a savings bank
until there is enough to buy another
share of stock or bond

The recommendation will be hedged

it is regarded as most probable that

vincing the Mexican representatives
that a sufficient force of Carranza SOL

American border to render the line
perfectly safe from bandit depreda-

In case a level Main street bridge

have to bear the expense of the prop

''This is question which will be
hard to decide in case level bridge

ut is the city's duty to open streets
and to keep them open. The city has
to pay for the damages to the Evans

The bridge which must be built at
county expense is the only thing that
passes through the property. The
South G street bridge will be located
on street which has been opened by

"The property damage which would
be done by level Main street bridge

MOVE TO Make
NATION DRY

Conservative announcements that
America will be dry within a few
years, were made yesterday afternoon
and last night at the Indiana Yearly
Meeting of Friends. Following the re.
port of the temperance committee and
Of the trustees of the anti-saloon
league, S. Edgar Nicholson named
states in both wet and dry columns
and those he believes will go dry and
remain wet.
The 'incorrigibly wet" states are
Rhode Island, New York, New Jersey,
Pennsylvania, Illinois, Wisconsin and
California. The Friends do not expect
to be able to swing the voters into the
dry column. Montana, Nebraska,
South Dakota Michigan and Alaska
are expected to be dry within a year
Elections will be held in those states
this year as we'll as in California and
Missouri, the hopeless states"

The greatest confidence was ex-
pressed by Mr.. Nicholson, Rev. De-
Witt Foster of Marion, and other
speakers who followed the temper
ance report, that Indiana, Ohio and
Michigan will be dry soon and that
after the first of the year, only 16
states will be needed in the dry COL
umn to bring the coveted two-thirds
vote Of congress for a constitutional
amendment for submission to the
states for ratification. Three-fourths
of the state legislatures must ratify
the amendment to make the country
dry.
In the temperance report, it was
said many Quakers drink intoxicating
liquor, great number use tobacco,
and few engage in other intemper-
ate practices. Fifty-one anti-cigarette
pledges have been signed, the report
said .
