SELL CROSS FOR
POUND OF STEAK

London Aug. 2.-The Iron Cross
has been SO cheapened in four
years Of war that German soldiers
no longer prize the decoration as
a distinction and are willing to
part with it for a good ration Of
bread, on being captured.
The French Croix de Guerre is
the most common decoration in tho
allied ranks, but as it is won only
great risk by acts Of conspicuous
bravery, the French soldier priz-
es it today as highly as he ever di,:
German soldiers get the Iron
Cross IN its varying degrees for
very commonplace acts now at the
front and even for services far
from the fighting. The decoration
has been bestowed literally by tn,
pound. Long lists Of new award,
are printed nearly every week il.

by Emperor William in a procla-

Washington Aug. 2-Uncle Sam

right view Of the situation
Justice Brandeis of the Supreme
court IS credited in Washington
with having given Uncle Sam the
psychology hunch''. At anv rate
1t has been used and is being used
with good effect.
This is one example. Other or
ders and moves the public didn't
quite understand were partly de-
signed to have the same effect
That they have had it is evidenced
by President Wilson s recent state
ments that the American peonle

The Florida National
Forest

North OF Valparaiso and west of
the main body OF the land we offer
lies the FLORIDA NATIONAL
FOREST, containing 100000 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. 1t is
under United States government
supervision. Many sections of the
land, to be sold for stOckraising
purposes, are within the boundar-
les of the FLORIDA NATIONAL
FOREST. With 10 to 16O acres the
owner has the same range for stock
as though he had personal control
OF thousands OF acres, for such is
/. available for pasturing his hogs,
sheep and cattle. Hogs can be rails
ed here for 3 cents pound.
We are selling improved farms on
long time, with house and well, all
fenced and partially cleared and
ready for immediate cultivation.
We offer farms of 10 acres to $40
acres for stock-raising adjacent to
the National Forest at minimum
prices on long time. Small farms
for stock-raising as low as $500.
Read on and know that our plan
Is to increase land values and that
this offer Is one of DEVELOPMENT
rather than land-selling scheme.
