John W. Murray of Grand Rapids and Miss Anna Magadlene Herman of riage at Superior on August. 25th. The announcment of this happy event was a surprise to many of ie friends of young couple. The Lrid had been living in Grand Rapids for some time, bil? fo announcements were issued making known their in- tentions. Nevertheless, conyratula- tions are in order notwithstanding the lapse of time since the words were spoken that made them one, ‘The following is taken from a Super- ior paper: ‘‘At the little chureh of St. Patrick’s at Billings Park, Super- ior, Wednesday morning, August 25, occurred the marriage’ of Miss Anna Magdalene Herman of Norwood, Minnesota, to J. W. Murray of Grand Rapids, Minn. Promptly at 1:30 the bridal party entered the church to the strains of a simple Catholic mel- ody, rendered by Miss Agnes Dunn. After ube ceremony a wedding break- fast was served at the home of Mrs. Mae Murray, 1927 Wyoming avenue, mother of the groom. The bride wore a pretty costume of white chiffon trimmed with white aplique. She was attended by her sister, Miss Marie Herman vf Norwood, Mion., and Miss Angie Shouner of this city. Mr. George Murray, brother of the groom, acted as best man and Mr. Albert Herman as usher. After a few weeks spent with friends and re- latives the happy couple will reside at Grand Rapics, where Mr. Murray holds a responsible position with the Shevlin-Carpenter company. Father Sharon performed the ceremony. _| Tbe church and altar were handsome- ly decorated for the occasion, At the wedding dinner covers were laid for thirty, the room was prettily deco- Tated and many pretty and useful gifts were received.

MANY SUBSCRIBERS SECURED . First Result of the Commercial Club— The Association Promises to be a Suc- -gess In the Number of Shares Sub- seribed For at the Start. At a meeting of the Commercial club held last Monday evening, L. M. Bolter, A. L, Thwing and F. A. King were appointed a committe to solicit subscricptions of shares of stock toa local building and loan association. The committee immediately took the matter up and have met with great sce ess as will be seen by the follow- ing list,of subscribers and the num- ber of shares subscribed for set op- posite their names. ~ Shares. 5 5 5 5 5 10 5 5 3 5 5 5 10 5 5 A public meeting is called for next Monday evening at the court house and all citizens of Grand Rapids are invited to attend. At this meeting the several plans of organization adopted by other successful building and lean associations, including Kaukauna, Wis., Saginaw, Mich., and Cloquet, will be discussed and one of them adopted. The sentiment seems tobe in favor of the Cloquet plan, that organization having been in ex- istance during the past sixteen years and has been of great benefit in the upbuilding of that city and is now in a flourishing condition. . Several of. our citizens have had disastrous ex- periences with outside building and loan associations such as the United States Building and Loan Association, but such organizations are gotten up for the benefit of ube officers who are paid enormous salaries, while on the other hand a local association would bave only one paid officer, the secre- tary, who would only receive about twenty-five dallars per month salary. The term ‘Building As sociation” is a misomer. Strict- ly speaking, they are mutual saving and loan assuciations—loaning the money invested by their»members to their members only. Whenever the workingmen become acquainted with their functions and the benefits to be derived from them, they will have them. ‘The money invested by the stockholders of such an association is only loaned to the stockholders, they giving real estate security, which is tirst appraised by a competent couw- mittee appointed for that purpose, and the vorrowing stockholder de- creasing his loan monthly by his monthly payments; or if a stockholder has no real estate security to offer as security he can borrow on his shares, not to exceed the withdrawal value ofsame. Thus it will be seen that the security a stockholder has is of the very best, and for an investment he can get no better. The association issues a series of stock once in each year, each share being of the value of $200. when par. Any person can sub- scribe for from one to fifty shares of stock, and by paying ou each share the sum of one dollar per month for about nine years, he will realize the full value of $200.

FARRELL, ity Auditor, Itasca Socue: Minnesota. | “How can one dollar paid monthly, i i nine years (which would be realize $200?” It is done in a0 Pa The money which. is paid monthly is loaned monthly to the members and the interest and pre- miums received on their ioans is also paid monthly; hence the associa- tion compounds the interest and pre- miums twelve times a year, besides fines which are collected from de- linquent members. Every one knows what results can be obtained by the loan and re-loan of money during a series of nine years. The object of such an association is aot to build houses, but help those who help themselves in procuring one for them, the object being to loan to worthy individuals such a sum* toward the erection or purchase of a house as will be safe. Suppose you own a lot, the association will loanyou sufficient money to build a house suitable to the location. Such an association Ofiers peculiar advantages to persons desiring to build or purchase a home, and pay forsame in small monthly payments. Once a month the money on hand is offered for loan, and awarded to the member bidding the highest premium for the preference. Interest at seven per cent is payable in monthly installments. The borow- er being a member, shares equally with the other members in the par- ticipation of the profits. He does not repay his joan in one sum, but the loan is in reality an advance upon his stock, he having to own one share of stock to every $200 loaned to him, and when the value of his stock equals the sum borrowed, the stock is cancelled and the loan is paid. This plan is very much cheaper, and the payments much easier to make than in the. ordinary method of bor- rowing. As a means of investing your Savings, you receive a larger in- terest than through any other chan- nel. There are no perferred stock- holders. All members share in the management and participate equally in the protits. Al loans are secured by first mortgages. Money invested can be withdrawn at any time, on notice. No large salaries are paid officers, the seeretary being the only salaried officer. Besure and attend the meeting Monday evening and subscirbe for Shares of stock.

Exhibits For the County Fair Should Be Considered and Made Ready. Only a few days now remains be- fore the holding of the Itasca county fair. The “spell of weather” that has just passed will probably be tollowed by a season of delightful aucumn for which northeastern Minnesota has become famous. We will no doubt have ideal weather during the fair days, and hence a successtul fair in every way. ‘The question is, what will you bring? ‘Thmk the matter over, look through your possessions and select the best. | Most everybody can bring something. Secretary Graffam has written to Congressman J. Adam _ Bede, inviting him to deliver an address on the after- noon of the last day of the fair. Mr. Bede is now in Washington, and no reply has been received to the invita- tion, Two Dotrars a YEAR. INTERESTING MEETING s. The Grand Rapids Commercial Club Begins Business In the Right Way. MANY SUBJECTS DISGUSED, Buildivg and Loan Association Consid- ered—Public Highways Diseussed— Government Bridge Over Pokegama Dam Advised—Other Matters The Grand Rapids Commercial club promises to accomplish a great deal if interest in the organization continues as it has started out. The meeting last Monday evening was not.as largely attended as it should have been, bub those present evinced an understanding of the things that may be accomplished through the efforts of the club and the sugges- tiobs: offered -by members indicate that the interests of Grand Rapids has fallen into competent hands. The club voted favorable to have the organization become a member of the Minnesota Municipal and Commercial League. This organization has al- ready accomplished a great deal in the matter of instituting reforms in the municipal management of vil- lages and cities throughout the state and itis exerting a great influence for the betterment of commeretal conditions in the matter of freight rates, etc. The matter of organizing a local building and loan-association was dis- cussed at some length and as a result President Powers was authorized to appoint a committee to look the matter up. He appointed Messrs F. A. King, L. M. Bolter and L. A. Thwing. The result of their efforts is shown in another column. ‘The public road between Nashwauk and Grand Rapids is in a deplorable condition. It is almost impassible at certain times of the year. ‘The Com- mercial club realizes that there should. be communication between the two towns, and especially would it be to the advantage of every citizen of Grand Rapids if the road all along the line were in good condition for travel, as the dayis fast approach . ing when two or three villages will spring up between here and Nash- wauk. After discussion of the sub ject the president appointed L. M. Bolter, Henry Wughes and E. ©. Kiley a committee to appear before the county commissioners and urge that action be taken by the board to make some very much needed im- provements on the road. The com- missioners referied the matter to the road cummittee with power to act. The committee consists of Commis- sioners Passard, Frazer and Moore, and they are gentlemen who are in- clined to do all possible in road im-— provements and they will no doubt make sume substantial changes in the present conditivn of the road. Several other matters were sub- jects of discussion and the interest shown indicates that the Grand Rapids Commecrial club was not organized in vain. It is said that if the war department were petitioned to put a bridge across Pokegama lake tht it would no doubt be done. This matter was re- ferred to a committee consisting of President Powers, C. C. McCarty and John Beck felt. THIRTY BRANDS OF smoker can be pleased.
