Big CELEBRATION
PLANNED AT UPHAM

Upham, N. D., June 1.-THE 100 guns
at sunrise, at former celebrations, is
to be no comparison with the big base
ball tournament and market day cele-
bration at Upham, June 20 and 81. The
commercial club and all, the citizens in
general. are leaving nothing unaone to
make this the biggest event Of this
kind ever pulled off in this part of the
state.
The programme for the two days is
very elaborate and there will be some
thing doing every minute. There will
be six ball games during the two days
for purses aggregating 1926, and the
teams at Towner, Deering, Russell
Eckman and Upham will contest for
the prizes.
Professor Martin of the dairy de-
partment OF the A. G. at Fargo will
speak the first day, and Prof. C. c.
Schmidt of the University of North
Dakota will speak the second day
along agricultural lines. Both men are
noted speakers, and no farmer can af-
ford to miss hearing them
Races of all descriptions will be pull
ed off for handsome prizes. The Gun
club will shoot every day and no one
will be barred. There will be a dance
each evening, and the best orchestra
in this part of the state has been en-
gagged. An effort is being made to show
all visitors a big time every minute of
the two days, and neither time nor ex-
pense will be spared in doing this.
Committees have been appointed to
take care of each special feature Of
the programme, and are working hard
to make everything a grand success.
An auctioneer will be secured and at
different intervals during the days, any
goods brought to town for sale viii
be auctioned off. Several have declar-
ed their intention of disposing of goods
they have no use for in this way, and
the market day part Of the celebration
will be one of the main features of the
big time.

Having marked the heights OF ono
mans fortunes and witnessed their de-
cline and fall through murder and sui
eide. the old Ward building at 500 and
931 d street northwest, one of the first
large structures in the downtown Wash
ington, is at last to take a step down
itself, according TO the report following
its purchase by Charles f. Myers from
the American Security and Trust Com
pany this week. 1t IS understood Mr.
Myers will remodel the old structure
and make it suitable for use in what
will be the wholesale and manufa curing
district of northwest Washington when
the government has taken over the
ground south of the Avenue for beau
tifcation purposes.
The structure, a siX-story affair was

FORTNIGHTS REALTY SALES
AGGREGATE OVER 100000

Sales aggregating over $4,000 have
been consummated by the Willett & Rein
ecke Company, Incorporated, during the
last two weeks. Despite what is known
as the dull season. the company reports
that home buyers, as well as investors,
realize that the stability of the National
Capital is assured, and that II is far
more profitable from many points of
view to place their money in real estate
than to permit it to lie dormant in banks.
The company reports the following
sales:
For Edward J. Handy to Robert I.
Carr, 1850 Jackson street, Brookland d. c.
The improvements consist Of a Queen
Anne style, two story, attic, and cellar
dwelling, containing seven rooms and

had just gotten a good start when Mr..
Peck unconsciously put the auction tenn
porarily on the bum by sailing coyly
around that section of the country. Later
the lots were sold to Harry L. Light for
81, 100.
The second experience of that nature
was out near Tennallytown, which, being
out of the beaten track for aeroplanes
and some distance from College Park,
has not become as blase as the Maryland
town. Mr.. Owen was selling a couple
of lots in the Reno subdivision. That
was the day Capt Beck, in his Curtiss BIZ
plane, started out to race a railroad train
and got lost. Noticing the unusual ac-
tvity engendered by Mr.. Owen and his
auction sale, Capt. Beck gave the steering
wheel a sharp turn to the left and waited
over to the scene and then waited away.
The lots were finally sold to Francis D.
Dover for $3.50.
Other sales reported by the Owen firm
for the last two weeks include a two
story brick dwelling at $40 street south
west to Bernard Leonard for $500 and
a three-story frame dwelling at q G

IS LATEST INNOVATION

A new departure in business buildings
is seen in the four-story structure al
1917 Connecticut avenue, formerly a res
idence, but now being made over into
professional building" 1t will prob
ably be the only purely professional
building in Washington when the re.

The building will be exclusively for
physicians and surgeons offices. No
changes are to be made on the exterior,
but the interior will be entirely remodel
ed so as to contain two apartments on
each floor. Each apartment will be
especially fitted up for use by physi-
clans. and will contain three or four
rooms. An elevator will be installed as
well as a telephone switchboard. The
work will be completed within a month.

AEROPLANE VS.. AUCTIONEER:

Vernon G. Owen Could Not Sell Lots When Birdmen

Beck the Offenders

The aeroplane is threatening the real
estate auction market apparently. Nat
urally, be the voice of tn auctioneer
never so pleasing. and the parcel being
offered never so attractive, the average
man will cease to listen when the pecu-
liar whirr and kechur of an aeroplane

sight of the manbird and will watch him
out of sight, no matter how late the
hour or how impatient the auctioneer.

J. Owen & Son, knows this after two
experiences this week. Mr. Owen will
not try to compete for popular attention

W|LL|GE HOPES
FOR I'M PROVED
REALTY MARKET
First Cool Spell Will Re-
store Activity.
MANY GOOD OFFERINGS

J. Louis Willige. president of the
well-known real estate firm bearing his
name, takes an optimistic view of the
present conditions in the real estate
market In an interview with The
Washington Herald yesterday, Mr..
Willige expressed confidence that the
first break in the hot spell would wit
ness a return to normal conditions.
LONG HOT SPELL.
The influence of temperatural condi-
uons on the real estate market is so
extreme that its Importance can hardly be
overstated," said Mr.. Willige. During the
unprecedentedIy protracted hot spell. which
continued this year from May Is to July
10 without perceptible interruption, pros
pective buyers could scarcely be induced
to inspect even the most tempting bar
gains offered for their consideration, and
a period of decided dullness, compared
with previous midsummer seasons, en-
sued. Hot weather is proverbialIy
synonymous with dull business in real
estate
"A summer off season in the real es-
tate brokerage business would naturally
seem especially characteristic of Wash
ington, whose population, so largely COM
posed of families of persons in official
life. avails itself of the summer vacation
provided by the Federal and District gov
ernments.
Cool Weather the Remedy.
The instant a cool spell is experienced
however, even in the middle summer,
there is obvious improvement in the
realty market, and the offices of brokers
resume their accustomed activity. This
has been clearly noticeable during the
past fortnight, as a result of the respite
in the weather. A slight falling off in
the market has been apparent, as a re-
suit of the two or three days of extreme
ly hot weather which we are now un-
dergoing

nationally considered, there has been a
marked exception in the midsummer as

This apparent anomaly is due in my
