That all constituent boards and members of the National Association be invited to confer with the chairman or members of the national committee on appraisals on questions which may be in doubt in their respective localities.

Prof. Tbaraldsen advised Mr. Hewitt to protect be soldier buc as far as posstble as the destructive caterpillars are becoming extremely numerous and if allowed to thrive will decimate many of the fine shade trees of the Chicago and Evanston park systems. "The so-called stink bug is a natural enemy of the caterpillars which are now starting to destroy our shade trees," said the Northwestern scientist. "Their work, too, is unnoticed unless very closely observed but is more vital in destroying the shade-tree pests than any and all artificial means. Insecticides that are apt to destroy tbe caterpillars at.o destroy the buc which is his natarill enemy and thete sprays shOuld not be resorted to save in extrane cases. Where the Tussock moth hasn't pined too gt'Qt headway, the caterpillars should be picked off by hand.

When All Others Have Failed Come To Us When a property owner wishes to sell his real estate, he wants quick action as a rule. The best way to get results is for him co list his property with a reputable and energetic realtor with an exclusive contract. We, knowing that we are protected in out efforts to sell property, will devote every ~ssible energy for making a sale. We will spend money advertising the property which we would 11ot do if other brokers had the property for sale. The chances for a satisfactory and prompt sale are obviously much greater under an exclusive contract. This system gives quick results without costing the property owner one cent more than the regular sales commission. ·=======;;;:;=;;;==;;;;;::;=;;;=====::======:t fourth ~ita ~~.J:_J>oards.
