HONOR T0_JIM HILL St. Paul, Minn., Septi 16.—Seldom if ever before in her history has St. Paul entertained at one time so many noted figures from the world of fins ance, industry and railroads as gath- ered here today to-attend the compli- mentary banquet to James J. Hill, the president of the Great Northern rail- way. The banquet marks the seven- ty-fourth birthday anniversary of Mr. Hill and his retirement from the ac- tive management of the agairs of the great railroad system with which he has gridironed _ the Northwest and which has been perhaps the leading factor in the development of the northern country stretching from the Twin Cities to the Pacific coast. James J. Hill was born on a farm near Guelph, Ont., Sept. 16, 1838,.0f Scotch-Irish parents. His father’s death when he was fourteen years of age, made it necessary for him to go to work as a clerk in the village store, where, it is said, his first wage was but $1 a week. In 1856 he set out for California, but within the year found himself on the steamboat - docks at St. Paul, where he obtained employment as a shipping clerk. He thus became identified upon his first arrival in the Northwest with transportation there, and he also from the first manifested the Leenest interest in all that per- tained to commerce and agriculture. After serving two years as general nanager, Mr. Hill became president of the St. Paul, Minneapolis and Manitoba railway in 1883 and con- tinued as such until 1891. He was chosen president of the Great North- ern railway Sept. 11, 1889. In 1907 he gave up the presidency and be- cawe chairman of the board of direc- tors. Last June he severed the last link connecting him with active rail- road work by retiring from his posi- ticn as head of the board of directors of the Great Northern.

Young Lieutenant Chol- mondeley, of the English army, asks Colonel Carson for the hand of his daughter, Ellen. The colonel replies “When you have won your spurs I will give my consent.” 'Russia de- clares war against England and France, and the light brigade is or- dered to the front. After the depar- ture of the lieutenant and her father Ellen decides to become a nurse un- der Florence Nightingale. She offers her services and though somewhat young, is accepted by Miss Nightin- _ gale. During the charge of the six hundred, Lieutenant Cholmondeley saves the life of his colonel, defend- ing him against the combined attack of three cossacks, lifting one bodily above his head and crushing him maimed and helpless to the ground.

RE than five hundred homes are being paid “ & through the Northwestern Building Association, of Fergus Falls, the great co-operative bank of Northern fdr Minnesota, In 1911 the Northwestern Building Associa- tion loaned more than $100,000 in the cities and villages of northern Minnesota, to aid pecple in building and buying homes and permitting them to be paid for in small regular installments. $25,000 in Bemidji a million dollars. It is prepared to loan an- other $100,000 in 1912, and of this amount wants to place Its loans now exceed a quarter of There is no way so easy and so cer- tain of paying for a home as the small regular payment. This Association gives its members every condition ‘which makes their loans easy to handle. Partial payments can be made paid off -at any time. Loans can be thus reducing the size of the monthly payments. The Northwestern Building 'Association is not a stock-selling proposition. - When you borrow money of this Association you do not have to pay in and wait until the money is accumulated, but as soon as you sign your papers and the title is examined you get the loan for which you have applied. The monthly payments to this Association on a home which you own yourself are not much, if any ‘larger, than you would pay as rent for the same property. - When you pay the rent the landlord owns the home and has the rent. - When you drive a nail or stop up a.crack you do it for his benefit. If you own the house where you live you can constantly add to its value through your: own efforts and without much expense increase your comfort and pleasure. Everyone who borrows of this Association borrows upon exactly the same terms. The small borrower on a modest home gets the same conditions as the man who borrows on the most expensive one. The The monthly payments are $1.50 for each $100 that you borrow. If you need $500 your payments are $7.50 per month, if you need $800 your payments are $12.00 per month, or if you need $1000 your pay- ments are $15.00 per month. This includes interest principal and every other charge. If the payments extend over 100 months, the amount is reduced to $1.00 for each $100 borrowed,-so that on a $1000 loan after 100 payments you would pay but $10.00 a month. Thus far in the history of this Association all loans have matured inside of 108 months, and we are prepared to make a definite contract on this basis where one prefers it to borrowing on the mutual plan. If you want to buy, build, or borrow to pay for the home which you now have, write for further informa- tion.
