(President, te Board) As the delegate of the North Shore Real Estate Board to the Fourth an- nbal convention of the Real Estate association of the State of Illinois, I arrived at Rockford, the convention seat, Thursday evening with large delegations from Evanston and Chi- cago. The first session of the convention convened on Thursday in the beauti- ful Elks Club building at Rockford as a get-acquainted Reception and Dance for the delegates, which prov- ed to be a very happy affair. On Friday morning the convention convened at the Rockford Soldiers and Sailors Memorial hall and, fol- lowing an address of welcome by ex-mayor Jackson of Rockford, and the response by W. L. Jackson, State President of the Real Estate association, of Danville, the business of the convention was taken up with a vim. Discuss Many Problems Problems such as organization of Real Estate boards in every county, up-to-date methods and legislation in real estate transactions, licensing of all realty dealers, discouraging the curb broker system, concurence with the National Real Estate asso- ciation in the suggestion to have in- cluded in the cabinet of the United States an office specifically interested in the advancement of real estate in all its many phases, furtherance of farm and rural credits. The discussion of these and other vital subjects was ably directed by men of rare talent and thorough knowledge of the real estate busi- ness. Each session of the convention was inaugurated by Community singing, a departure which proved to be alike inspirational and entertaining. Friday was the Red Letter Day of the convention. The day's activities started with an automobile tour over the city's boulevards and through the parks. The cars arrived at the Rock- ford Motor club at 6 o'clock where the annual banquet was held. The banquet proved to be an exceedingly interesting affair. Here again Com- munity singing, led by T. E. Shimmin, was an important feature and, let me say, real estate men and their wives certainly can sing. Following the banquet there were five minute talks by representatives of the vari- ous boards. Fach speaker extoled the virtures, advantages and beauties of his particular community. A beau- tiful silver loving cup was presented to the Oak Park representative whose talk was acclaimed the best of the evening. Speaking as the delegate of the North Shore Real Estate board it was necessary for me to explain that we were still in infant stage in real estate association work, that I was somewhat lonely as the sole repre- sentative of our organization and not in a position to speak glowingly of remarkable achievements. The an- nouncement of our recent organiza- tion was accorded enthusiastic ap- .procal by the delegates. The convention was a most en- thusiastic and inspirational gathering and Rockford provided well in the way of entertainment. : The convention voted to hold the Br 77 2777777777777 77777 iiiiiiididdddddd ddd ddd lll lll ddd ddd rrr rr rrr : / pl annual meeting at Peoria.

ILMETTE REALTY COMPANY ANNOUNCES SEVERAL SALES The Wilmette Realty Company an- nounces the sale of a lot on Sher- idan road near Forest avenue for $6,000, the property of Mr. Cardwell of Chicago, to George Ruby of Wil- mette.

CO-OPERATIVE BUYING SAVES THEM BIG SUM Co-operative buying by employes is saving thousands of dollars an- nually for workers of the Goodyear Tire & Rubber company of Akron, Ohio. Already there is a grocery store, tailor shop and curb market for garden truck in operation. At the grocery store commodities are sold slightly above cost, suits can be purchased more reasonably and garden truck bought direct from the farmers. The grocery store, operated by the Service Pin association, compos- ed of employes of long-time service with the company, saved approxim- ately $50,000 for workers last year. The curb market is the latest ven- ture and has proved a great success. More than 1,500 employes purchased garden truck on the opening day and assured business to farmers who were at first skeptical as to the bene- fit that would accrue to them. Her Object. Little Miss Sarah went calling the other day with her mother. At one home the hostess' little daughter gathe ered all of her toys into her lap and sat in her little chair holding them. "Why, La Rue," rebuked her mother, "put down your toys so Sarah can play with them." "I am just holding them, mamma, So Sarah can have more room to play." Heavy Vote. "] have estimated," says Herman J. Phink, the scientist, "that if all the hard-boiled eggs in America cash their solid vote for a presidential can- didate it would take two years to count his piuraiitv."

Among the most enthusiastic and energetic members of the American Red Cross are those citizens of the United States who live outside the continental boundaries of their country --sons and daughters of the Stars and Stripes residing at the far corners of the earth. These people 'compose the Insular and Foreign Division of the parent or- ganization, generally known as the "Fourteenth" Division, which has jurisdiction of all territory outside the country proper; that is, Alaska, Porto Rico, Hawaii, Virgin Islands, the Philippines, Guam, and even the is- land of Yap, which came under our flag as a result of the world war. For the year 1920 this division reported 80,808 paid up members. The main object of this division is to give our citizens everywhere the op- portunity to participate in the work of the organization which stands for the best national ideals. Americans in far places intensely loyal and pa- triotic, treasure their membership in the Red Cross as the outward ex- pression of their citizenship. It is an- other tie to the homeland and to each other. There are chapters of this division in Argentine, Bolivia, Brazil, Canal zone, Chile, China, Costa Rica, Cuba, Dominican Republic, Ecuador, England, France, Guam, Guatemala, Haiti, Hawaii, Honduras, Japan, Manchuria, Netherlands, Nica- ragua, Paraguay, Peru, Philippines, Porto Rico, Siberia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Syria, Turkey, Uruguay, Venezuela and Virgin Islands. During the war these scattered members of the Red Cross contrib- uted millions in money, and millions of dollars' worth of necessary articles for the men in service, and sent many doctors and nurses to France. At the same time they carried on an excel- lent Home Service in their respective communities for the families of those who had gone to war, and in some re- gions gave large sums of money and immeasurable personal service to the relief of disaster and disease victims. The division is now establishing service clubs in foreign ports for the benefit of sailors in the American Mer- chant Marine, making plans to aid Americans in trouble in foreign lands and completing arrangements for giv- ing immediate adequate relief in case of disaster. It is the Fourteenth Division's part in the great Peace Time program of the American Red Cross. RE you going to build? Do you contemplaterepairs? For materials--see EDWARD HINES LUMBER CO.
