This community received the
great surprise of its eMistance ON
Saturday of last week when an
nouncement was made OF the re
signation OF G. G.. Pederson as
cashier of the Peoples State Bank

nation about month ago, but the
matter was not made public at
that time, the resignation to take
effect OH the last day OF March.
Carston Eggen was appointed tenn
poralily to till The vacancy. MIR.
Peterson will remain with the bank
for a few weeks to assist until per-
manent arrangements are made.
lie has already had several attract
i've offers but has as yet made no
deflnate plans for the future. His
numerous friends here hope shat
he may engage in some line of
business that will keen him in
New Ellington.
While deeply regretting the de-
termination of MIR. Peterson to
sever his connection with the bank
the patrons of that institution feel
that he has an able successor in the
person of Carston Eggen and one
with wide circle of acquaintance
c. G.. Peterson has been CON.
nected with the bank i'm the capac.
ily of Cashier since its organization
in the fall of 1918, and under hi.
management it has grown to be an
institution of real value to the town
Always a booster, George has beer
ready at all times to encourage
and push every enterprise of {
public nature, and if he does max,
up his mind to leave New Efflng
ton, we feel that in his going the
town will lose ONE OF its most pro
gressive and helpful citizens. j.

nificant that they should take the
time and pains to write such a

is hardly necessary to add that the
Standard values such expression
very highly There isn't a news
paper in the country which would

The Sisseton Schools have Ger

their fine donation of nearly SIPS
to the Belgian relief fund. Every
scholar donated their bit and it
certainly makes grand total.
When the subject was first brought
before the school it was planned
to raise S4s, but the scholars have
gone far beyond even their own
expectations.

Presbytcry Meeting.

Presbvterv of Aberdeen was held
according to appointment in the
PRESBYTERIAN church of Sisseton on
Tuesday and Wednesday of this
week
On account of distance and bad
roads the attendance of delegates
at the young peoples rally that
opened Tuesday afternoon was
much smaller than usual, but that
did not hinder those present having
a very helpful program.
The closing address Tuesday
evening was the sermon by the
retiring Moderator Rev I. X. Tav-
gard. pastor of the Presbyterian
church of Groton. This WINS Rev.
Taygart first appearance at Sis
seton, but allwho heard him stand
ready TO congratulate the Groton
people on their good fortune in
securing so strong a preacher, and
will be glad to know that Rev
Taygard is to be installed as pastor
OF the Groton church early in May.
Wednesday was spent largely
in routine business, listening to
reports and laying plans for the
looming months.
Weather conditions have been
unfavorable for church work the
past year, vet considering every
thing the results have been splen
did. Nearly 300 have united with
the churches of the Presbvtery
during the year, aud very com
mendable amount given to the be
nevolent work of the church.
The absence OF Rev. G.. c. Todd
who has been our District Superin
tendent since the meeting OF
Presby ytery at Sisseton twelve
years ago, and the message tina,

resign that position, saddened thl.

no man is so we'll known or SC

can no longer continue his service

Base Ball Season Approaching

With the base ball season soon
to hand, talk of Sisseton's 1917
team is heard wherever two or
three fans are gathered together.
The CONSENSUS of opinion seems to
be that we shall have strictly
home team this year, giving some
OF the promising young blood a
chance to develop bv plaving regu-
larly on the first team. What
may develop in the line of base
ball sentiment is hard to tell at
this time tor Sisseton fans have
never allowed neighboring towns
to carry off the diamond honors
with out a run for their money.
On Monday of this week States
Attorney G. X. Jorgenson anc
Sheriff McGee of Roberts county

Belgian Relief Work

With Good Success.

The break between the United

appalling Crisis to the children

work of uistlibution has been

land has replaced those OF the
United States. MIR. Hoover re-
Mains i'm supreme charge and
the work of relief goes on. Ger
many is giving safe conduct to
relief ships and even if one is
accidently lost it's cargo is always
fuliy insured. The danger is
not that means of relief will fail
out that the faith of the Amerl
can people may falter and the
supply of funds be checked, God
pity the starving children in Bel
gium III it does. 1t is time to
radouble eNertions, not to dimin-
ish them.
Give therefore your money in
perfect faith that it will be used for
one thing only-thc feeding Of the
Belgian Children.
One million Belgian children
az slowly starving, 100000 are
babies less than years old.
Cnderfed puny and pitiful they
teebly call upon America to feed
them lest they die. What will
Roberts county do in this great
crisis, how will it answer this
great appeal of charity. The
call is to the individual. Not one
is cNempt-each must CON
scientiously respond or IA |
shamefacel in this, his great
Nuty and privilege.
Upon his return to this coun-
t-y from Germany, Ambassador
Gerhard said: II hope the peo
pie OF this country appreciate
the splendid work which is being
done by the American Commits
SION for Relief i'm Belgium. Their
devoted efforts have now cOntin,

wears. and it is a priviledge for
tae American people to be able
10 support this fine work The
need never has been greater and
and sincerely hope that our
country will rise to the occasion
and give generous support to
the commission. To this may
be added the statement of Col
onel Roosevelt: 1t is the literal
truth that rarely since the days
OF HerOd has child life been sc
menaced as to-day in Belgium.
