Machinists, boilermakers, sheet
metal workers, blacksmiths, moul
ders and first class electrical
workers 68 ccnts per hour.
Car men and second-class cleo
trical workers, So cents per hour.
Helpers as cents per hour.

five cents per hour more than re-
spective crafts.

is, increase forty dollars "a month,

and maximum two hundred fifty.

The Report of an Ex-
pert on the valpa-
raiso Project

If every purchaser who has be-
come part of the life Of the VAL
PARAISO PROJECT and If every
prospect who is considering q pur-
chase in the VALE OF PARADISE
should hold a meeting and decide
to send an expert to Florida to in
vestigate for them, they would all
probably decide as follows:
1. Secure some responsible expert
from leading agricultural college
2. Secure some one from the Iowa
State College of Ames, Iowa, as 1t is
reputed to be one of the best in
America.
8. Have him spend several weeks
in Western Florida and investigate
from every angle.
just such an expert is Prof. Ward

Iowa State College in 1897, and for

Dear Mr.. Perrine: Valparaiso has
been in my mind so much since my
return from Florida that want to

sent from DeFuniak Springs with
some after-thoughts of the trip.
took the trip South with many
anticipatiOns that would find sub
stantial grounds for the confidence
felt in the merits of the PROPOSE
ton you offered. Suffice to say I
found my expectations more than
realized.
A persons enthusiasm for many
projects drops several degrees when
a retrospective view of them is TAX
en-. This is not SO with the Valpa-
raisO development proposition. It
stands the most rigid tests when
viewed from all aspects and angles
The sober second thought only in
creases your unbounded interest in
the whole plan of development and
its great possibilities
The location of Valparaiso is a
most happy one. The possibilities
of development are limited only by
the means at hand. With its beau.

wonderful views, it truly can be

The Florida National
Forest

North of Valparaiso and west of
the main body of the land we offer
lies the FLORIDA NATIONAL
FOREST, containing 10000 acres of
land or an area of about 422 square
miles. This NATIONAL FOREST
affords some of the best hunting
and fresh water fishing in America.
THE FOREST abounds in game.
Live stock may be ranged therein
at purely nominal sum per head
and it offers an abundant pastur-
age with plenty of springfield
streams of clear, cold, pure water
throughout the entire year. It is
under United States government
supervision. Many sections of the
land, to be. sold for st0ckraising
purposes, are within the bOupdar-
les of the FLORIDA NATIONAL
FOREST. With 10 to 100 acres the
