Property was purchased and sold, the profits reinvested, and today each member of the syndicate has earned a profit of 800% on his investment. In March, 1925, a woman was urged to invest several thousand dollars in some vacant property along the line of the city's growth. In September she sold at a profit of $10,000. Wherever you go-in every city, town and hamlet, you will find that fortunes have been made in real estate, by people in every walk of life! Within your own experience you probably know instances of someone having made handsome sums on real estate transactions. And, aside from the attractive feature of increasing valuation, enormous income returns are made on sound real estate, sometimes as high as 30% per year on the money invested! No matter who you are, or how little money you may have, you too can make money in real estate, either by investing in property that will pay you 15% or more on your investment, or by investing in property for resale at a higher price than you paid. Of course money is lost in real estate too-just as money is lost in other investments. Real estate cannot and should not be bought "blindly." There are many things to consider, depending on your circumstances. There is no need, in this great, growing, prosperous country, for anyone to take wild chances on real estate. But you must know what to buy and what NOT to buy. Realizing that thousands of people are intensely inter- There are chapters on Vacant Property, and Improved tages and disadvantages, are discussed.

Published weekly by The Outlook Company at 120 East 16th Street, New York, N. Y. The Soviet and the Bee IN your magazine of December 9, an article, signed only with an initial and entitled "Doctor, Lawyer, TutorThief," leads us to believe that educated men are persecuted by the Bolsheviki. I happen to have correspondence with the Director of Tula's Experiment Station, situated about one hundred miles south of Moscow. The Director, T. A. Tuenin, sent us a description of their work, which is certainly much greater than anything that has been done in Russia previously. We are able to ascertain this, as we have published a book on bee-keeping, "The Honeybee," which had four editions in the Russian language. I don't wish to throw doubts on the statements of your anonymous writer, but would suggest that the Russians are trying to improve, and that we ought to encourage their work, instead of trying to show them as criminals. There were many crimes committed by the revolutionists; still, if the people were under a czar they would be less able to improve, with the system of serfs, than they are to-day. The Tuenin article on apicultural experiments is to be published in the "American Bee Journal." They are anxious to show the world that they are making progress. C. P.
