EDUCATION
IS AIM Of
GROUP

One of the primary objects Of the
WASHINGTON Real Estate Board is
the carrying out of the purpose of
the National Association of Real
Estate Boards in educating realtors
and the general public for the pur-
pose of bringing about betterment
in the realty field.
Since its inception the Washing
ton Real Estate Board has con-
stantly backed the educational fea-
ture of its work and year by year
has added more opportunities to real
tors and the general public to avail
themselves of the experiences OF
men and organizations prominent
in the real estate field of the coun.
try.
The country is real estate and its
prosperity IS the development of the
natural resources contained in this
real estate and the improvement
Of it through its development.
whether it be on the farm or the
making of a great city. Real rs
tate in all it's phases touches the
life of every person in the nation
whether it be a lease for a humble
apartment or the purchase Of great
areas for large factories or office
buildings.
100000 Directly Interested
In Washington. besides business
men and investors. there are ap-
proximately 100 900 who more or
less are connected in some trans
action through a real estate office.
To these people the Washington
Real Estate Board is endeavoring to
give an opportunity to learn more
of the conducting of the business in
which they are interested.
President Coolidge in addressing
a large gathering of realtors here
made the following statement:
There must be mutality of ad
vantage reaching both sides in every
truly successful business operation.
The deal in which one side gets
the best of it is not good business
1t does not promote more business
or produce confidence in business
generally. Formerly there was a
curious notion that if one side in
business proposition profited the
other must necessarily lose.
IF that were true all business
would be under suspicion and wise
people would stand aIoof from it..
The truth is that when two parties
enter into transaction by which ex.
changes something he needs less for
something he needs more. both sides
are benefited"
Makes Large Rewards
The President further in his speech
said: The real estate business
makes large demands on the skill and
abilities Of those who succeed in it,"
Fully realizing these statements.
the Washington Real Estate Board
mas made every effort to encourage
Its active members and the statesmen
working for its active members to
study constantly in their profession.

PAVING CONTRACTS ON
NO. 1 TO BE LET
State Highway Department Pre-
pares to Close Last Gap in
Highway to Duluth

Announcement was made by State
| Highway Commissioner G. M. Bah
| cock today, that bids will be received
August "a for fifteen miles of grading
and paving on Trunk Highway No. 1
| in Chisago county. 1t is expected
| that the greater part of this project
can be completed this fall. This will
leave only fifteen mile gap between
the Twin Cities and Duluth on which
| no paving contracts have been let
| and it is expected that bids will be
| asked later in the season for the final
link in the pavement to the head of
| the lakes.
When plans were made for this
years construction, it was thought
| that on account of the reduction in
the license rate on passenger cars,
there would not be sufficient funds
to permit starting work on this thirty
mile gap until 1927 Increased regis
tration and the fact that a greater
percentage of car buyers are in the
''B" class, however, will bring the
receipts from auto licenses above the

feels justified in rushing the work
to, completion.
The work is divided into three pro-
jects. One seven mile project north
and south of Harris comprises $4,000
cubic yards of excavation and $4,000
square yards of concrete paving.
Another comprises miles of work
north and south of Rush City, includ-
ing $4,000 cubic yards of excavation
and $500 square yards of concrete.
The third is two mile stretch south
of Rock reek, comprising 10000 yards
of excavation and 20,500 square yards
of concrete
1t is expected that paving work
now being done between Hugo and
Wyoming will be ready for traffic
in August and that the paving from
Rock Greek to Duluth will be com
pleted in October.

Church and State Locked In
Struggle Throughout Mexico

Mexico City-Church and state in
Mexico were locked in struggle un-
precedented in the new world. Near
ly 100 persons were reported to have
been wounded in street riots inciden-
tai to abandonment of the temples by
Catholic priests and the government
efforts to close the places of worship
and later to guard their contents
from vandals or thieves. Troops
were sent to San Rafael church and
opened fire over the heads OF the
people. They dispersed them after
arresting 35. All those arrested will
be charged with sedition.
The Catholic circulars and exhor-
tations from 100 pulpits in the city
advised Catholic people to remain
calm, making no attempt at disor-
der against the demonstration A
tour of the city churches shows how
the people have taken to heart the
exhortations of the priests, as no
where is there the slightest show OF
trouble, although most Of the parish
churches were so crowded that one
had to almost fight ones way into the
buildings, so compact were the
masses of people of the middle and
lower classes who were anxious tc
have their last contact with the spirit
ual heads of the parishes.

Coolidge Completes Third Year

Paul Smiths N. Y.-Three years as
chief executive of the republic were
completed by President Coolidge. 1t
was in the early hours of August 3,
1928, that Mr.. Coolidge took the oath
Of office by the dim light Of lamp
in the Plymouth, Vermont, farm
house before his father as a justice
Of the peace, soon after the sudden
death of President Harding. No
word of comment was made by him,
however, on the anniversary as he ap-
preached the beginning Of his fourth
year as chief executive. Government
business occupied him as it does
daily during his vacation in the
mountains and there was no indica-
ton that he would depart from that
program.

THRONGS HONOR
IOWA SENATOR
Thousands Pay Tribute At Com
Minis Bier in Capitol at
DeS M0ineS.

Des Moines-Beneath the golden
dome of the state house, where for
many years he directed the destinies
of the state he loved, Senator Albert
B. Cummins lay in the solemn dig
nifty of his final rest, as the people
of Iowa. whom he served for nearly
40 years, gathered to pay tribute.
From far corners of the state thou
sands of young and old, from all
walks of life, entered the marble cor
ridors of the capitol to pause a mo-
ment before the bier of the veteran
statesman, whose unexpected death
brought to q close a distinguished
career as governor and senator.
In a steady stream, from 9 a. m.
until p m, they passed the cata-
falque with its mounds of flowers and
motionless guard of honor.
Senator Cummins' close friends
and associates gathered at the old
Cummins home in West Des Moines
for the funeral Distinguished men Of
the state and nation, including COM
mittee of 81 United States senators,
and the entire Iowa congressional
delegation attended.
Senator Cummins was sudden
ly stricken with an attack Of heart
disease and died a few moments later
His health, however. had been the
cause of concern for several months.
The death of the senator came only
few weeks after he returned to Iowa
from Washington for his final sum-
mer vacation as a senator, and found
him anxiously awaiting the day when
he might put aside his official cares
| and devote his time entirely to re-
cording his varied experiences in pub
| lie life in an autobiography. Surv1v-
ing him are a daughter, five sisters,
two brothers, two grandsons and a
| great-grandson.

PAVING PROGRESS

There is about seven miles of
paving yet to do between Hinck-
ley and Pine City. The crew is
working from the north and is
a short distance out from Beroun.
At the present rate of progress
it will be at least October Is be
fore this work is completed.
The viaduct over the Northern
Pacific tracks one mile south of
Hinckley is still incomplete. The
steel girders are now being put In.
AS soon as this viaduct is COM
pleted, paving will undoubtedly
be used between it and a mile
south.
The paving crew between Fin
layson Corner and Rutledge will
fill in this gap completely by
Thursday night the 5th. Then
there will be continuous stretch
of paving from near Beroun on
the south to Willow River. AT.
ter Thursday, the paving crew
will be transferred north to Will
low River to work north to Stur.
geon Lake. Arriving at Stur.
geon Lake the crew will again be
transferred to the paving at the
county line and work south tc
Sturgeon Lake. This Job will
probably be completed about the
18th of October.
Paving is now practically com
pleted from Duluth to Mahtowa
There is a gap still to be paved
of five miles between Barnun
and Mahtowa, and another gap o.
three miles between Moose Lake
and Barnum. These two strip:
will be finished about September
first when the paving will be con
tinuous from Duluth to the Pint
county line.

FARM RADIO MAKING RAPID
GROWTH

There are nearly 100000
radio sets on farms in the United
States, the Department of Agri-
culture: estimates in a report on
the growth of farm radio during
the past five years.
In some states, the department
says, there are radio sets on 25
to 40 per cent of all farms. EST
mates made by the department
in 1923 showed $4,000 sets in use
on farms at that time; $4,000
sets in 1924, and $4,000 sets ear
ly in 1925.
Increased power and improved
broadcasting, together with bet
ter receiving sets, the depart
ment believes, will do much to
aid in establishing the permanen,
cy of the use of radio for the ben.
eft of agriculture"
