.LACK Of SUGAR BEETS
Caused Alma Factory to Shut Down
, This Week

Lack of sugar beets, caused by the
wet condition of the fields, compelled
the Sugar Factory to close last Satur-
day. For some time it has been diff
iicult to get beets enough to keep
the factory running, but it was only
last week that il became evident that
the factory would have to close The
recent rains put the fields in an un-
passable condition and those that
have beets pulled can not haul them
from the fields.
Manager Jotham Allen of the To-
cal factory could give no definite date
when the factory would be opened.
He said it all depended on the wea-
ther and that it might be a week or
it might be two weeks but with any
favorable weather the chances were
that it would not be more than
week. While the factory is shut
down the workmen are overhauling
and repairing machinery.
The wet condition of the ground
Is unprecedented in this part of the
state at this time of the year. The
fields and ponds are drying very-slow-
ly. The outlets and rivers are filled
to their limits The local factory is
not the only one that is affected as
the ST Louis company is experience
ing the same difficulty in securing
beets and undoubtedly would have
had to close but for the shipment OF
q hundred cars Of heets received from,
the Holland factory.

The heavy calendar of the present

probable more time vii be required

number of very important ones which

ing out less than three quarters of an
hour the jury brought in a verdict
of guilty in the A. G. Stevens forgery
case. Stevens was sentenced for
one and half to three years to Ionia.

lie received payment by check. which
payment Udell had stopped The
only thing Broadhead received out
OF the deal was the six months.

JUDGE KELLY SEARL
Used Rare Judgement and Gave
Young Man Suspended Sentence

Judge Kelly Searle again exhibited
rare judgment and lent a little HUI
name spirit to the law and Justice
last Monday when he placed Stanley
Langdon upon a suspended sentence
Tor year under these conditions
That during which time he is to
keep good company, that he is to
work, that half OF the money that he
earned is to be deposited in a bank,
that he is not to drink any intoxi-
eating liquor and report every thirty
days 10 the County Agent Should
any OF these provisions be violated,
Judge Searle explained to the young
man that he would be recalled and
receive sentence
The above sentence came as a sur
prise to many that were acquainted
with the offense TO which Langdon
pleaded guilty. 1t was he that con-
cocted the plan for the stealing Of the
Sweet automobile last summer and
the taking Of a midnight JOY ride.
The offense is a serious one and the
severe
Evidently Judge Searle was right
in his judgment and made an appeal
TO the young mans manhood He
said 10 his attorneys. Kress and Dun
ham, after he had received his SEN
tence, i expected a Jail sentence,
but don't believe that it would have
done me any good. Now that Judge
Searle has given me chance to make
good, ] shall certainly do it

yet he was said to be man aft

abounded more with thankful
ness than any other that Is men
toned in Holy Scripture. as may
appear in his book of Psalms.
where there Is such IL cOmmix-
ture of his contrasting of his sins
and unwOrthiness and such
thankfulness for Gods pardon
and mercies as did make him to
be accounted even by God him
self to be Il man after his own
heart And let us. in that. labor
to be as like him as we can. Let
not the blessings we receive daily
from God make us not to value
or praise him because they be
common. Let us not forget to
praise him for the innocent
mirth and pleasure we have met
with since we met together.
