Third Glass Post Office For Veblen

Another Indication o f h e
growth of Veblen and an indi.
cation that is recognized by
Uncle Sam is the changing of
the post Office from the fourth
to the third class.
While Chas. j. Anderson was
postmaster, the business has
steadily increased and the change
which took place the first of the
month is the result of his earn
est erdeavor to serve the public
to the best of his ability and at
all times to further the interests
of Veblen.
The present postmaster, Mr..
Elmer Anderson, is giving the
office his entire attention and is
justly popular with the patrons
of the office.
Veblen now has three rural
routes and sometimes thirty
sacks of mail, a whole dray load
being brought up to be delivered
and distributed. -Veblen Ad-

repeat: While going along a

automobile saw ahead of him a
farmer walking by the roadside,
also dog. The dog was not con-
tented to remain on the sioe but
kept crossing the road and was
caught by the car and instantly
hllleo. Lie uilNef turned the
car as quickly as possible and
went back to see what damage
had been done, and found the
farmer casing sorrowfully at
the remains of the dog. The
driver took out his pocket, book
and handed the farmer $40 ask
ing if that would pay for the dog.
The farmer said it would, and
watched the car until it was lost
to view, then, taking off his hat
to scratch his head, remarked, l

Why Not Make Big sisseton Show

Now that spring has come,
our straw hats frightened up,
our coats laid aside, and the
frost melted out of our chill
blains, why not start something
for the good of the town?
Some one has suggested that
Sisseton put on a red hot Fourth
OF July celebration this year
a real live one that would make
the capture of Presmysl in
Austria seem tame or the bonn
bardment of the allied fleets in
the DardanellaS look like a Sun
day school picnic, in compari-
son.
A suggestion of wider scope,
however, and one which ought
to be put into working conditions,
is that Sisseton and the Indian
reservation join in great an
nual celebration, in this City this
summer.
The STANDARD suggests the
occupation. of some broad acres
and establishment of an amuse-
uent street or pike, where In
dian dances and tribal customs
would glitter at night, while
races and sports of all kinds
would entertain the day crowds.
A celebration such as that
outlined, would attract visitors
from all over this part of the
state. 1t would be the biggest
advertising for Sisseton. 1t
would pay, 100, and the people
here and the Indians could work
up the exposition to a successful
point for all concerned.

Club say: Stand up, Mr.. Presi-

new GUARANTEE
BANKING Law
New Law Protects Depositors
in State Banks.

The bank guarantee law which
was enacted by the legislature is
claimed to be the best act for
the protection of depositors yet
devised and now it is absolutely
impossible for any depositor to
lose a cent thru the failure of
any state bank in South Dakota.
The law provides for a guar
antee fund of 100000 to be paid
by the state banks. This fund
will be used to pay off depositors
in any state bank which may fail.
AS check on state banks a
more rigid inspection system
will be adopted. AS a further
check the law prohibits any bank
from paying over five per cent
on money so that the temptation
to bid money up to an unprotit-
able figure is Eliminated. A
severe penalty is imposed for
the violation of this part of the
statute.
Oklahoma was the first state
to guarantee bank deposits and
the plan at once Threatened to
bankrupt the state for the law
was faulty in that it did not pro-
vide a check to prevent banks
from paying more for money
than they could afford. The
South Dakota law puts the
amount they can pay at 5 per
cent.
South Dakota has suffered
from comparatively few bank
failures and its country banks
nave been welland conservatively
managed but occasionally one
has gone wrong and people who
could i'll afford it have lost their
money. Under the new law
every state bank in South Dallo-
TIA is as good as the government
and depositors can be absolutely
certain their money is safe.
The banks in Summit, Ortley
and surrounding towns have al.
ways been conservatively man
aged and as sound as any banks
can be put new law the new law
they are backed up by the state
and those people who have a
fear of banks can now empty out
the stocking and put the money
ina state bank with profits to
themselves and the community.
