er, remarked that he was wondering
W ,at the toastmaster would say about
him but as the latter treated him kind
ly ne would do the same by him and
then too, he must continue to re-
side in the same community with
him and-drink his milk-so he
believed that discretion was the
better part of valor. He said that the
situation did remind him though of the
story of the minister, who shouted out
during a wedding ceremony "who will
give away the bride and the reply that
came from some one in the rear of the
church saying that he could but he
wouldn't. Mr.. Frenz said that this oc-
casion much resembled that so far as
the toastmaster was concerned.
On behalf of the Baraboo CONNER
cial Association and the citizens of Bar
aboo Mr.. Frenz stated that he was glad
that the real estate men had honored
the city with the convention. He told
of how T. Edw. Mead had been the
prime mover in the organization of the
Baraboo Commercial association and
how his efforts to bring the present
convention to Baraboo had succeeded.
He hoped that they would all go to
their homes glad that they came and al
though they would probably never
come to Baraboo in body again he
hoped that they would sIl come again
individually.
The evening gathering closed with
the assemblage all singing America.

At the close Of the repsst the assem-
blage joined in singing "On Wisconsin,,
and at it's conclusion J. L. Bonham, the
toastmaster, arose and said that he was
filled with wonderment that he should
have been asked to act in that ca
pacity, that plain, blunt, stupid old
farmer, should be asked to take the
place when the town was so full of
good ora ators-and a few real estate
men. He said that the Baraboo Com
mercial club had looked around and
found that Baraboo's greatest asset
was right hare, the farmers of SAux
County contiguous to Baraboo and he
considered his selection AZ toastmaster
was compliment to him as a represent
tative of this class. He welcomed to
Baraboo that body of men seeking to
| develop the state, to build up the COM
munity-the real estate men. He said
| he was pleased to welcome them to the
metrop lis of Sauk county-Baraboo
He sal that the county had produced
some great men, told Of the farmer
boy raised in Honey Creek, the present
governor of Wisconsin. In introducing
the various speakers Mr.. Bonham in
dulged in much good natured raillery
that kept those present in continued
good humor.
Governor E. L. Philip, the first
speaker of the evening, as an introduc-
ion to his remarks, touched on the loss
{ two distinguished Baraboo citizens
since his last visit to Baraboo- that of
Al Ringing and R. A. Cowan. He
spoke of the regrettable death of Mr.
2ingling in what might be termed the
)rime of life and emphasized what he
nd his brothers had done to make Bar
boo known throughout the United
,tates. He referred touchingly to Mr..
Cowan told how he had known him in
timately when the latter was assistant
superintendent and he was subordinate
lnder him at that time-he spoke OF
dr. Cowan's kindness, his consideration
nd appreciation and added that the
world was better for Mr.. Ringing and
fr. Cowan's having been here; that
neir memories will long be kept green
n this community
Governor Philipp said that the real
g tate men deserve encouragement
from the government otherwise he
would not be at the banquet, that they
are the optimists, the boomers where
ever you go; they would not be real es-
tate men if they were not. He added
that they could see gold dollars
farther than anyone else. He said

must have help in putting down the

broker who has done more to give
black eye to the profession than any
thing else. The speaker said that he
hoped the gathering here would give the
people better understanding of their
association, that they would feel that
they were sure of square deal in
transaction with any one Of the mem
bers. He stated that the real estate
profession was getting to be elevated
higher and higher and hoped that the
members would soon be classed among

members would soon be classed among
the ministers, lawyers and doctors.
Address by Supt. King sford
Superintendent A. c. Kingsford, who
spoke next, said that he was some what
embarrassed in addressing real estate
men, it took twhat courage he had to
address one real es tate man and he had
hardly any when one addressed him. He
supposed that there are all kinds of real
estate men as there are all kinds in
every other line and that you have to
judge them from every point of view
He poke of the difference between a
professional and business transaction
that in the professional attitude the
chief concern was to do the service. The
real estate man takes the place of the
middle man, it is his job to bring the
buyer and seller together, his job to
take the landless man to the msnless
land. The attitude of the real estate
man is to render service, Mr.. Kings
ford told of what the real estate men
had done in creating land values and to
do this they must bring railroads and
schools and start one industry after
another. He said that the first real es-
tate man that he ever heard of was
Moses, how he told of the promised land,
the land flowing with milk and honey.
He concluded by saying that he was
glad the real estate men were here and
hoped that we would catch some of
their enthusiasm, some of their opti-
mism.
Compares Ministers and Real
Estate Men
At this point in the speech making
Toastmaster Bonham remarked that he
was beginning to believe that the real
estate men were really wonderful class
of men, and introduced Rev. E c..
Henke. The latter said that ministers
were looked upon with as much suspicion
az real estate man and said he did not
know why unless it was that they were
both suspected of trying to induce the
people to invest in unseen land He said
seriously that real estate men and min
listers could be well compared, that the
