BIG. :. CAMPAIGN TO
RAISE $4,000
North Star College Needs But $4,000
- More to Secure Hon. James j.
Hills Donation.

Hills Donation.
Strenuous efforts have been made
the past yearsby North Star College
to solicit funds for paying the indebt-
edness Of $4,000 that still rests on
the new college building. Rev. F. N.
Anderson, the financial secretary, has
devoted nearly all his time during the
past summer and fall to the work of
soliciting and he has succeeded in
getting a large aggregate sum sub
scribed by the friends Of the institu-
zion thruout the valley. But great
deal yet remains to be done and only
two months remain in which to raise
, the total amount of $4,000 that is
required in order to obtain the $4,000
donation promised by Hon. James j.
Hill. On March 1, 1916, the money
must be in the bank, or Mr.. Hills
promised donation may be withdrawn.
The college cannot afford to lose Mr..
Hills generous offer, and for that
reason all friends of the institution
are asked and importuned to come to
it's assistance
There are SO sections of land in
township and the debt Of $4,000 may
be represented to the eye as cover
ing an entire township, making an
indebtedness Of $1,000 on each of the
36 sections. Mr.. James J. Hill wipes
out nine sections of debt, or one
fourth of the whole, at one lick, by
his donation of $4,000. The seven
members Of the Board of Trustees,
have agreed to raise or donate $1,000
each, making together with Mr.. Hill's
Nonation, sixteen sections of debt
provided for. Rev. Anderson has
raised about $1,000 in subscriptions,
either collected or promised, making,
together with Mr.. Hills and the
Boards donations, $4,000 in sight at
this time. Only $4,000 still remains
to be raised. Who will be the first
one to come forward with promise
to remove a section Of the debt? or
half a section? or quarter of a.
section? Do you not want to be one
of those who have helped to estab-
1ish this college in the famous Red
River Valley, the .ebread basket" Of
the world? 1t is not in any fictitious
mining stock or "get-rich quick
scheme, that the people are asked
to invest their money, but in an
established institution that is doing
good work and already has been a
blessing and benefit to hundreds Of
young men and young women, who
have gone there to acquire an educa-
tion. And North Star College will
stay to- he'll and benefit the young
6eople q & this part of the Northwest,
long after those now living have
gone, provided it is given the needed
assistance atsthis time. Good friends,
rally to the support of 3 North Star
College now, when it needs your aid!
Follow the good example set by Hon.
james J. Hill. He fully realizes what
North Star College stands for and
what it means for enlightened
citizenship and culture among those
who dwell iii this fertile valley.
There are thirteen sections of debt
still 10 be removed. $1,000 clears one
section; $500 al half section; $3.50, a
quarter section or 100 acres; $125 re-
moves the debtsfrom 80 acres; $62.5O
from 30 acres; $15.63 from 10 acres,
etc.
Remove as many acres Of debt as
yau can. A long pull, a hard pull and
a pull altogether, in this the most
prosperous time in the history Of the
Northwest, will lift the burden of
debt from the college, and even make
it considerably over subscribed. In
i this connection it may be stated that
Rev. F. N. Anderson, the solicitor,
has not drawn one cent Of pay for his
work and travelling expenses, nor
will he ask for any money until all
other debts are paid.
Subscriptions and donations should
be sent to Rev. f. N. Anderson, FL
nancial Secretary Of North Star Col
lege, Warren, Mimi, and receipt will
be returned to sender.
Very Respectfully,
Board Of Trustees,
North Star College,
Warren, MINI.
