The character of the service will be such that the church thought it best to extend a cordial invitation to those who still hold in mind memories of the last great struggle for democracy and, therefore, the American Legion post has been invited to attend.

" McGEE That every real estate dealer, whether he maintains an office or is known as a "curbstoner," or whether he resides in another state, should be compelled to comply with the state law which provWes for the payment of an annual license is the opinion of D. F. Quinlan, Woodstock real estate dealer and one of , the, first in the state to propose a state license Referring to Mr. Quinlan's efforts to secure 100 per cent enforcement of the law, the Woodstock Sentinel says: Some people have the Idea that if you w&nt to sell real estate all that is necessary is to . find q buyer and sell the property and collect a nice, fat commission. But it requires more than a desire to become a real estate dealer. By a law passed in 1921 by the Illinois legislature a man must exhibit in his office a license entitling him to the right to sell real estate. It was not until 1920 that any step was taken to bring about such a law in the state of Illinois. Our neighboring statue had real estate laws, but as usual Illinois wanted to see how these laws worked out before she tried to pass one. D. F. Quinlan, the local real estate dealer, wrote the first letter to Judge Shurtleff, asking that the matter be brought, up in the state legislature. The first letter written by D. F. Quinlan on January 27, 1920, follows: E. D. Shurtleff, Marengo, 111. Dear Friend Ed.--I am in receipt this morning of my real estate license from Madison, Wis. The crying need 5 ln the state of Illinois today is the standardized uniform law under which the real estate men in this state could Operate, .requiring that a broker should be duly licensed, vouched for by at least two or three property owners, held respon sible for the salesmen under him in his office and compelled to report to a real estate board comprising at least three to five members, fixing a license fee at say $10-to $25 for the broker and $5 to $10 for each salesman working out of his office, the salesman only to be licensed while he working for some licensed brokershould he leave the employ of the real estate broker, he must either establish an office of his own or be licensed by some other real ' estate broker who may employ him. The fee received from the licenses so obtained would more than take care of the running expenses of the office and the dear, sweet public would have the everlasting guarantee that they were not going to be "giped" by some shark. The good, responsible real estate fellow would be relieved of having the "curber" dip in every time there was a spurt in the business, somebody would get something out of it in the way of fees, th£ real estate man would be bettered by it, there would be uniform standardized rate of commissions on all sales and exchanges, the men who want to be decent would have a standing, the fellows who are not decent would be driven out of business. It is bound to come in time--why not now? I would like to sit down with you some day and get this under way. If you do not care t*> bother with this you perhaps know of some good, clean real estate man in the house who would "father" this bill. Illinois is a progressive state and should be among the first. Wisconsin has led us off and while I do not think all of Wisconsin laws are good laws I do thirflc this is a good one and needed in this state. I am herewith enclosing * little phamplet of Wisconsin real estate laws. If men from Iowa, Wisconsin, Indiana and other states wish to do busi ness in Illinois, let them do as we have to do--pay for the privilege. With kindest personal regard, I am, Yours respectfully, D. F. Quinlan. The McHenry county real estate board has been organized aiid on last Friday night held its regular meeting, at which time committees were appointed, ^mor.g which was a member ship committee, whose duty it will be to call on the' different banks, news paper men and real estate men thru* out the county. The officers elected for the year 1922 are as follows: D. F. Quinlan, president; G. C. Peters, first vice president; Ed. L. Martin, second vice pres ident; W. S. Battern, secretary; George Hoffman, treasurer. It is the intention to ,have every real estate man a member with the banks and newspaper men as associate members, the object of the organization being the good of the com munity. It promises to be one of the strongest organizations in the county, being affiliated with the state organization, and they in turn with the national organization and working under the new state real estate laws. Entertained Variety Club Members of the Variety club were entertained Mr. and Mrs. George A. Stilling at their home on Fox river last Thursday evening.
