IS LIVING,


To love our home, and not forget
There's no such love as Mothers,
To love her best of all and yet,
To keep on loving others,
To grow more thoughtful, gentle
meek,
Unselfsh and forgiving,
To speak with kindness when we
speak,
Is living.
To keep our mind so filled with right
That wrong cannot get in it,
TO hope for good with all our might,
And seek it every minute;
To know, whate'er our lot may be,
There's happiness in giving
To those less fortunate than We
Is living.
To smile, although our heart be sad,
Our sorrows never voicing,
To help some other heart be glad
And go its way rejoicing;
To know that grief is not God-sent,
IT'S Joy that He is giving;
To do our best and be content
Is living.

CLIMATE.
l have given you the three prin-
cipal essentials of successful farm
ing in Florida, all of which this land
possesses. With these prerequisites,
| will refer to the kernel of the whole
situation, which is CLIMATE.
CLIMATE is the reason why this
immediate section stands ahead to-
day in the growing of Irish Potatoes
for profit;
CLIMATE enables the grower to
plant IN January, and gather in April
at time of year when the whole
Union is wanting fresh Irish Pota-
tees;
CLIMATE puts this area in class
by itself, and eliminates competition;
CLIMATE fixes the market for
early Irish Potatoes, and sends the
buyer to this locality with the cash
to pay the highest prices.
CLIMATE makes it practical on
this land to grow three profitable
crops on the same land in the same
year. as follows: Irish Potatoes are
planted in January, gathered and
marketed in April, with an average
yield OF fifty barrels per acre, which
sell at an average minimum price of
$500 per barrel. This same ground
is then planted in corn, which yields
from forty to fifty bushels per acre.
After this is gathered, the farmer
reaps Hay in abundance from the
same ground.
Ihese crops can be grown as
cheaply on this land as they can any
where IN Georgia. These are crops
which the Georgia Farmer should
manipulate as successfully as those
more experienced in Florida farming.
this is not the case in many in
stances in the growing of other farm
products, especially fruit, and many
other varieties of vegetables.
Hence, l have decided to sell these
FIFTY FORTY ACRE TRACTS to
Georgia Farmers, war or no war. if
they will investigate, they will buy.

FARMING LAND
IN FLORIDA

1t is only within recent years that the
State of Florida has attracted the attention
OF the outside world to any great extent
as farming section. This is largely due to
the fact that during the strictly pioneer
days, there were such vast aries of wild
land that the inhabitants could find espe-
clally favored haunts to locate, and climatic
and soil conditions were such that thew
could so easily obtain living without re-
sorting to what they considered the arduous
task of farming.
But now conditions are changed and
wonderful strides are being made in the
process of various kinds of farming in most
every section of the State; it has passed
far beyond the initiative experimental stage.
Those who know most thoroughly the
real facts about Florida contend that it
stands without a peer among the other
States. Its wonderful climate and natural
resources are attracting the attention of
thousands of people in all parts of the
Union. They are continually seeking nfor-
nation OF friends boards of trade, and
Real Estate dealers about Florida.
Manypeope think that little can be grown
In Florida other than Oranges and early
vegetables 1t has been demonstrated in
various sections, and at the State Experi-
ment Station, that any plant which is use
full, either ornamental or of food value to
man, that will grow anywhere in the Unit
ed States will grow well and be a financial
success in Florida.
However, there are three absolute essen
tails to farming in Florida upon which all
who have had experience are agreed, these
essentials are GOOD SOIL DRAINAGE and
IRRIGATION, with which the farmer is
assured OF uniform success; without which
there is an element of uncertainty.

on the St. Johns river, and its prox-

The land has been pretty thorough
'ly timbered, and most of it can be
cleared ready for the pillow at from
$500 to $4,000 per acre.
The owners paid a reasonable price

it into forty acre tracts, and sell it

There Are Four Distinct
Elements in the Process of
Real Estate Investments

First: The original owner of the land
that is to be developed who sells to the de-
veloper at a comparatively small acreage
price.
Second: The developer who purchases
the land in large bodies at small price,
sub-divdes it and sells to the investor at
small margin of profit on each unit, the
number of units making up a reasonable
profit on the whole
Third: The investor who purchases from
the developer at reasonable price per acre
and profits by improvements that he makes
on the property, or that go on around his
property.
Fourth The final buyer who pays
large profit per unit to the investor, that
the final buyer may make profit by using
the land.
If one waits upon property being fully
developed, he becomes a final owner instead
Of an investor, and must necessarily pay
comparatively high prices and then use the
land for profit or wait a long time for any
material advance in price
So the only question is What advance
in value does the property in question offer.
There is no question but that real estate
investment is the greatest of all wealth
builders for individuals and communities
hence we say, unqualifiedy Let US show
you this unsurpassed farm land proposition
in Florida. "

Your Opportunity

Here is a farm proposition and a
real estate investment that should
appeal to the Georgia Farmer.

the handling Of tract of land on the
St.Johns River near Hastings, Flor
ida, and just across the river from
Federal Point, twelve miles north of
Palatka, right in the heart of what is
known as the famous Hastings Irish
Potato Region.
This tract consists of two thous-
and acres of as fertile land as can
be found in the State of Florida. It
possesses all the principal essentials
to profitable farming; SPLENDID
SOIL, NATURAL DRAINAGE, and
easy IRRIGATION.

SOIL.

The soil here consists mainly of a
dark sandy loan. This together with
the climatic conditions, and its prox-
unity to the st. Johns River, which
has a width at this point of from two
to three miles, renders it very adap-
table to general farming, and espec-
tally to the growing of Irish Pota-
toes, Corn, Oats, and Hay also to
all kinds of vegetables, and a large
variety of fruit.

IRRIGATION.

The process of irrigation can be
more easily accomplished here, and
at a less cost han at any other place
in the State that l have seen. All
there is to it is deep well from a

DRAINAGE.

The lay of the land here affords
ample natural drainage, which is ac-
complished by the use of shallow
bitches that are made with an ordi-
nary turning plow. These drains
are primarily made for the purpose
OF irrigation, but they serve a double
purpose of letting the water off dur
ing a wet season, and letting it on

firm chin above the strong column of
white throat means strength-and the
sensitiveness OF Hildegarde's face does
not deny its strength.
Caroline perceived men to the point
of apperception. Women were too
often negligible or merely manageable
in her scheme of things. Now she saw
a fairly pretty woman Of thirty with
look Of sturdy honesty that was hardly
magnetic. And Lawrence was TWEEN
ty-five-and an artist!
Lawrence was a vital looking youth
with enough Of the boy N him to make
him tremendously appealing to older
women. His grooming was beyond
reproach. and Hildegarde's shabbiness
stood out as strongly in contrast to her
husbands faultlessness of fit and form
as to Caroline's alluring swirl of drap-
cries, whose wonderful blue just
matched her eyes.
Because Hildegarde SO tenderly
loved Lawrence, her responsive nature
was full of exuberant gratitude to
Caroline for all she had meant to Law
renee in Italy. When a woman has
pfnched and saved to give her hus-
band glimpse of 'the. grandeur that
was Rome" she is likely to feel deep
thankfulness to whatever forces have
made his experience with old-world
beauty more potent.
And Hildegarde was above suspect
ing that Caroline's use of her own new
world and modern beauty had anything
to do with the matter. ~

to you. 1 just couldn't stay at home"
said Hildegarde quite simply. Her
voice was warm and colorful and sug-

Lawrence broke in rather jerkily.
1t was quite evident that he wanted
his wife to make good impression
on Mrs. Knolys and that he was equal

wouldn't. So We"

"Oh, yes! I've followed every step
you've taken"
Miss Ambie looked trifle anxious
at this juncture and failed to smother
a hysterical little laugh.
"Indeed!" said Mrs Knolys CURLY,
and her expression changed completely
as she noticed Hubert standing acress
the room and smiling with an express
sion that might have been sardonic
if his tolerant and well-bred face could
have comprised such an expression.
At once his wife presented the San
bury's, and announced that she had
persuaded Mr.. Sanbury to accept the
commission to remodel the house. But
Hildegarde was so overwhelmed by
her sense of gratitude for past favors
that she could not stop to curry favor
for future ones. She had to continue
her paean Of praise.
