A WELL KNOWN
RESIDENT DEAD
Miss Belle Burgland Passed
Away at Saginaw Hospital
on Tuesday Morning.

Word of the death of Miss Belle
Burgland, a well known and highly
esteemed resident of this city, which
came from Saginaw early Tuesday
morning, came as a distinct shock to
her large circle of friends in Alma,
who while they had knowledge that
she was in poor health, had not be-
lieved that her illness was as SER
ious as it proved to be.
Miss Burgland had been in poor
health for some time, and several
days ago went to a hospital in Sagi-
nav for treatment She grew rapidly
worse but even then her friends did
not regard her illness as critical. At
an early hour Tuesday morning she
passed away.
Belle Burgland, the daughter of
Mr.. and Mrs. A. Burgland, was born
in Bay City, November 10, 1878.
When four years of age she moved
with her parents to Defiance, Ohio,
and in 1906 removed with them to
Michigan, settling in this city. For
the past thirteen years she has been
connected with the Gaffney Style
Shop of this city, which association
greatly widened the circle of her
numerous friends.
The funeral services were held at
the late home at 200 o'clock this af-
ternoon, conducted by the Rev. Willis
l.. Gelston. The body was placed in
the vault in Riverside cemetery.

HELMAM NAMES
HIS DEPUTIES
New Sheriff, Who Takes Office
on Monday, Has So Far
Named Just Three.

Jacob ID. Helman Of Alma, Demo-
crat, who surprised his closest and
best friends with the great run that
he made at the November election in
piling up majority of over 900 votes
on the Republican candidate for sher-
iff in a strongly Republican county, is
preparing to take office Monday as
sheriff of Gratiot county.
Mr. Helman probably realizes that
upon his efforts as sheriff of the
county during the next two years,
may depend much of the success with
which the Democrats may meet at
future elections in this county and he
is evidently sparing no pains in the
selection of capable men as deputies.
Neither is Mr.. Helman letting the
matter of political faith stand in the
way in the selection of his aids.
SO far only three aids to the sheriff
have been appointed. Others will be
selected later as Mr.. Helman feels
tha they measure up to the job. II.
K. Helman has been appointed as un-
dersheriff at Alma and will reside in
this city. J. B. Rowell and Ralph
Petit of Ithaca have been selected as
deputy sheriffs. Both men have pre-
viously served in this capacity and
have proven to be capable men.
Other officials elected in Novem-
Der will also take office with the be-
ginning of the New Year.
Bernie l.. Case, Republican, popu-
lar clerk Of Gratiot county for some
years, assumes the state senatorship
of the 25th district on Monday, hav-
ing been elected to that office with
out opposition. ~
George w. Long Of Washington
township, Democrat, will become Gra-
tiot's member in the state legislature,
winning the November election by a
close margin from Joseph Seaver.
Harriet Colweli, Republican, will
become the clerk of Gratiot county
and the county's first woman office
holder.
Frank Howes, Republican, will be-
come treasurer of the County and
Luther Carter will succeed Erva r.
Laycock as drain commissioner.
These will be the only new office
holders in the county, the present
officers in other cases each having
been reelected in November.

Crop Report for
December Issued

The fall months have been unusual
ly favorable for the completion Of the
seasons work according to the
monthly report of crop conditions is
sued today by Verne H. Church, Agri-
cultural Statistician, u. S. Bureau of
Agricultural Economics and John A.
Doealle, Commissioner of Agricul-
ture. More than the usual amount of
fall blowing was done, it being pos
sble to continue that work into the
early part of December. The sugar
beet harvest was completed by the
end of November, and the beet sugar
factories will end the seasons slicing
campaign during or shortly after the
holiday season. Practically all of the
corn crop was harvested in good con
dition.
The annual survey of acreage of
winter wheat sown was completed,
through the aid of the Bureaus crop
correspondents, on December /, and
shows an apparent decrease of two
per cent from that of last year, or a
total of 1,014,000 acres. There was
a considerable increase in some sec
tons of western Michigan, but many
eastern counties sowed more than
usual. Spring wheat growers have
mostly turned to the raising of winter
wheat, and some farmers have dis
continued the growing of rye and
taken up wheat raising instead. The
condition of the crop is rated at 80
per cent as compared with ten-year
average of 80. 1t has a normal top
growth, an even and firm stand, and
usually good color.
Growers of rye have decreased
their paintings to the extent of ten
per cent as compared with last year,
leaving a total Of $4,000 acres as a
basis for next years crop. Poor
yields and low prices are the chief
reasons assigned for the decline in
popularity Of this crop. The condi-
tion averages 90 per cent which is the
same as the ten year average, the
color, vitality and stand of the crop
being generally good except that late
sown fields have a rather small TOP
growth.
The supply Of farm labor is ample
as very few farmers feel able to pay
the prevailing wages. An inquiry on
the subject of wages shows the aver
age monthly wages with board for
the past season were S34.30 as COM
pared with $4,000 the previous year
Without board they were S47.25 as
compared with $50.50 in 1921. Ordi.
nary day labor averaged S2.10 with
board and S2.70 without board, being
five cents higher than in 1921. Har.
vest labor averaged $3.50 with board
and $3.l0 without, the same as last
year.

MRS. W|LLERT IS
BURNED To DEATH
Wife of Sheriff Willert Met In
slant Death Early This
Morning.

A terrible accident occurred early
this morning which resulted in al
most instant death of the wife Of
Sheriff A. T. Willert.
Sheriff Willert, whose term of of
flee expires January first, was NOV
ing his family back to the farm. Mrs.
Willert and two sons and Mrs. Earl
Willert stayed at the farm last night.
About five o'clock this morning Mrs.
Willert arose to build a fire and ap-
parently poured some oil on the wood
in the stove. There must have been
some Goals in the stove for there
came a terrific explosion which awoke
the other members of the family and
when they reached the living room
they found Mrs. Willert lying on the
floor beside the stove completely en-
veloped in flames. The bottom was
blown out Of gallon oil can and
the oil was scattered about the room
burning furiously. Every effort was
made to rescue Mrs. Willert by the
use of blankets and Mrs. Earl Will
lert was quite seriously burned in her
effort to render assistance. The boys
called the neighbors and the body
was finally gotten out but it was
burned almost to a char and beyond
recognition. The furniture and fur
nishings of the room were destroyed
but by heroic efforts the fire was ex-
tinguished and the house saved.
This comes as a terrible blow to
the entire community as Mrs. Willert
was held in high regard by everyone
who knew her and she will be greatly
missed by her many friends and rela-
tives. The people of the entire coun-
ty join in extending their heartfelt
sympathy to the bereaved family.

TO CHECK SPEEDING ~

MANNINGTON. July. 31-Chiet
of Police ]. E. Masters said this
morning that $50 long as out OF
town people do not try to fly into
Warrington they will be welcom-
ed,' and intimated that speeding
along the road through Jericho
must be stopped.
The reason for the Chiefs ex-
preston was the arrest of Walter
Bellen of. Fairmont last evening
for speeding. Bellen passed Chief
Masters beyond Jericho and the
officer followed him into town
where he made the arrest. Bellen
put up $40 forfeit and did not
show up this morning for trial.
An effort was made once before
to put an end to fast driving on
the Jericho road, but nothing was
accomplished. This time, how
ever, city officials intend to make
it warm for the speeders, it Is
said.
