Northrop (President, North Shore Real Estate Board) As the delegate of the North Shore Real Estate Board to the Fourth an- noal 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 buildins? 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. Each speaker cxtoled the virtnres, 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 hoard 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. i.nv. w*i ven nun v,ao a kktKjiffi. en- thusiastic and inspirational gathering and Rockford provided well in the way of entertainment. Peoria Next Year The convention voted to hold the next annual meeting at Peoria. Ev- anston had dispatched a special dele- gation of business men to the con- vention for the purpose of 'entering a strong bid for the honor, but in view of the fact that the next annual convention of the National Real Estate association is to be held at th,e Coliseum in Ch'ic^go, it was thought best the state session should be held in a place somewhat removed from the seat of the na- tional gathering.

SCHAEFER . 1-501 Washington Avenue f$: Til. 969 W. N'ALL KINDS OF CARPENTRY The Rock River annual conference of the Methodist church which was held at Rockford and which finished its session Tuesday of this week de- cided to leave the Wilmette Metho- dist church to be supplied by the pulpit supply committee until the right man for the place can be secur- ed, and it may be that no one will be appointed by Bishop Nichol- son until the Conference in October, 1921, unless the committee which consists of Harry Mons • .chairman, F. A. Troy, John Mannerud, F. L. Millington and E. M. Stafford, should succeed with the help of Bishop Nich- olson and District Superintendent A. F. Clark in locating a big man for this charge, because the next preacher who is appointed to the Wilmette Methodist church is to be big in preaching ability as well as highly capable in every other branch of the work. To carry out the pro- gram this church has in mind to put Wilmette Methodism on the map with a plant arid an organization second to none in Chicago or else- where and equal to the opportunities and demands of this community. Bishop Nicholson is working with the committee and the church board in their plans and will be on the lookout for the right man as he is known to entertain the belief that when Dr. Walker passed away he left the largest vacancy in the Rock River conference. Dr. John J. Rapp ,of Evanston, who has supplied the Methodist pulpit much of the time since Dr. Walker's death, will continue to serve, and will preach in the Methodist church next Sunday morning and, in addi- tion, will have charge of the other pastoral work connected with the church. Dr. Rapp is a great favor- ite with Wilmette Methodists and others who have heard him preach. A new church choir has been organ- ized and will appear for the first time Sunday morning.
