crop was harvested.
The wind has blown as roughly here

was record. The Bailey Gatzert was
grounded while landing at Underwood.
She was towed off the sandspit Satur.

scores of trees across the road the

SIP G..

It's a poor thing to harp on the
misfortunes of others as a rule, but
the automobile accident of Monday
night serves as a slittering example
to hold up before the eyes of many
a hundred speeders in all parts of
Gratiot county.
Often one has heard that speeding
is not dangerous when there are not
too many automobiles on the road.
but here we have an accident coming
not through two cars coming to-
gether. and one not caused by a car
going into IA ditch while rounding a
corner.
This accident Monday night took
place on straight road, and appar-
emily good road
II should make some speeders
think about the due caution that they
should use, particularly when they
are driving others, making them re-
sponsible for lives other than their
own.
The Record deplores the accident
as much as anyone, but hopes that
its lesson may be needed that others
may not be hurt, or possibly killed.
