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 pur-
chase in the VALE OF PARADISE
should hold meeting and decide
to send an expert to Florida to in
vestigate for them, they would all
probably decide as follows:
j. Secure some responsible expert
from leading agricultural college.
q Secure some one from the Iowa
State College of Ames, Iowa, as it is
reputed to be one of the best in
America.
g. Have him spend several weeks
in Western Florida and Investigate
from every angle.
just such an expert is Prof. Ward
NJ. Jones. He graduated from the
Iowa State College in 1897, and for
many years was an instructor there,
and hekis now the General Secretary
Of the Alumni Association of the
Iowa State College.
ON HIS RETURN FROM FLOR
IDA, AFTER SPENDING SEVER
AL WEEKS THERE, HE WRITES
THE FOLLOWING LETTER:
Amcs, Iowa, Aug. 20, 1918.
Mr.. John b. Perrine,
20 East jackson Blvd,
Chicago, Ills.
Dear Mr.. Perrine: Valparaiso has
been in my mind so much since my
return from Florida that 1 want to
reinforce las it were) the telegram
sent from DeFuniak Springs with
some after-thoughts OF the trip.
l took the trip South with many
anticipations that would find sub
stantial grounds for the confidence
| felt in the merits of the PROPOSE
tion you offered. Suffice to say
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. 1t
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
most happy one. The possibilities
of development are limited only by
the means at hand With it's beau
tiful landlocked bays, silvery beach
es, and an elevation that affords
wonderful views, it truly can be

Engineer Steele is surely the right
man for the place The work done
stamps him as man OF vision. He
should be kept on the job.
a half day was spent inspecting
the lands intended for sugar cane
development. They rank high in
fertility and will produce the crops.
if given half chance The returns
through scientific handling should
be! considerably greater than your
estimate.
Then the back territory surround
ing VALPARAISO and DE FUNI-
AK SPRINGS gives promise of
great returns when developed. 1t
offers unusual opportunities to the
prospective farmer. 1t is a beauti-
full country, rolling and well sup
piled with inexhaustible supplies of
springs and running water. A coun-
try that should be the cattleman's s
delight.
Finally, but not least, the whole
section ranks high from climatic
standpoint. Mosquitoes were con-
spicuOus by their absence; there
was worlds of fine drinking water;
and above all, those invigorating
salt sea breezes coming in from the
Gulf. | am looking forward to the
time when | will be able to abide
with the rest OF the good folks, in
the Vale OF Paradise.
Very truly yours,
WARD NJ. JONES.
The above report is from as high
an authority as could be found in
America. His statements should be
most convincing.

Intuition of YanIxs
Saves Many Lives

PARIS, Nov. 1.-Two American
officers, walking through the central
square Of one Of the towns captured
by the Yanks, starte up one street.
Suddenly, one had a "hunch."
Lets take the next street," he
said.
They did. And two minutes later
the other street blew up with bang,
Ii was another German trap. The
entire street had been mined by the
retreating Huns and a timing device
left to detonate it-blowing up, the
Huns hoped, whole regiment.
In another town, chateau quilted
by the boches, blew up a couple Of
days after the Americans entered the
region. A time clock had been used
there, too. But the wary Americans
had given the chateau a wide berth,
owing to the suspicious fact that i
was the only unframed building in
the town.
Sixteen kegs Of powder were dug
out Of the cellar Of another chateau
by United States engineers after
they had carefully disconnected q
wire SO arranged as to set off the
explosive the moment the front door
of the chateau was opened.
A German sword was found stick
ing in the ground at the side of a
road. An American sergeant, ever
suspicious, tied a 50-foot rope to the
sword handle and, from this safe dis
lance, yanked it out of the ground
"A mine blew ten-foot hole in the
middle of the road.

ALWAYS BE CHEERFUL AND PLEASANT.

Did you get intensely interested in some pro-
ject story that you could literally not feel pain?
The pain there of course but you had no time to
think about it and it forgotten and meantime
the conditions perhaps had really sent the blood to other
parts of the body and thus relieved the inflammation
Not mind cure nor faith cure just logical treatment
with given results.
You stirred up an excitement in another part of your
body and felt better in consequence.
Few realize how much the mind has to do with health
and prosperity.
Be hopeful cheerful, and pleasant, and you will help
your body to function naturally.
Relax rest quiet, get all the sleep you need and you
win relieve the knotted and reduce blood pressure
making your chances Of health and in life double
without robbing your purse.
Don't neglect to get the service Of rstelass phys
clan when you need one but help the doctor along in
this treatment BY doing exactly he suggests and keep
cheerful
That is half the battle-a cheerful poise

Two Yanks
Captured Village
From Enemy

WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY
NORTHWEST OF VERDUN, Nov.
l2.-Capt. Frank Marson Williams, of
Flarida, and an American sergeant
practically captured the important
village Of st. Juven without any 9TH
er aid
Captain Williams used rife from
a German, while the sergeant man
ned machine gun, They held the
place against all counter attacks.
Captain Williams who is dead
shot and former member Of wild
west show, had passed to the north
Of st. Juven while the bOches were
still holding out in the place. He
had just emerged from wood to re-
connoiter machine gun positions
when he saw five Germans carrying
off an American prisoner.
The captive called for help and
Captain Williams attacked the boches,
killing three Of them outright. He
throttled the fourth, taking his rife
akay from him, while the fifth es-
capped.
The Germans in st. Juven started
to evacuate, filtering out through the
west side. At the same time a force
of about sixty or seventy approached
from the north side with the inten-
ton of re-enforcing the German gar
ison in the village.
Captain Williams, with the German
rifle, picked off the leader of the re-
endorsements, and quickly shot three
others, whereupon the rest Of the
boches scattered to cover in the
brush.
At the same time a sergeant, who
had come up through the eastern side
Of the village with a light machine
gun, joined the intrepid captain.
As the Germans IN the western
part of the village again started to
escape the machine gun was turned
against their only exit. The boches
came out out with uplifted hands and
were sent rearward. The re-en-
forcements again formed to attack
and descended from a low hill. The
captain set up the. machine gun in
the main street, and the men worked
it until other men came to their aid.

Learn 70 Do Without.

One Of the arts of life is to learn
how to do without. Few Of us have
everything we consider desirable and II
we grumble at every little deprivation
we make ourselves miserable and our
associates uncomfortable. To learn
to do without and yet be CHEEKY and
happy goes far toward making life
