THE securing Of W. A. Lindsey az
the A. P. Green Fire Brick Co., as it's
employment bureau head is a move
that means much to Mexico. His pur-
pose is not only to bring labor here
from all over this section of the Uni
ted States but to supply proper re-
creation for the men and in all hkeli--
hood supervise Fairgrounds used by
children of the plants employees. In
other words Mexico sill have a a
working in the field, along intelligent
lines to secure the best class of labor
for increasing our population. Few
cities can boast of an arrangement
such as this and he should receive the.
very fullest cooperation in his activ-.
tiles. Mexico needs houses for this
labor. Here is an opportunity to make
eMxico grow as it never has done he

TEN SUDDEN DEATHS
IN COUNTY LAST YEAR
Number of Cases Passed on by Cor
oner Almost Two and q Half
Times as Large in 1918
NO MURDERS OR SUICIDES
Half of Number Come to Death by
Valid Cause-0ther Half Caused
By Accident.

A coroner's inquest was held over
the bodies of only ten persons in Aud.
rain County, in 1919 as compared 70
t~wenty-four the year before, accord
ing to figures obtained from DR.. R.
w. Berrey, county coroner. He says
he has no way to account for the I'M
usually difference in the two years.
Last year only five of the ten cases
were deaths caused by accident, the
other half of the number requiring a
~coroner's verdict being valid deaths,
caused, for the most part, by heart
disease. Of the other five deaths one
was caused by a train, one by electric
ity, one by fire and two by accidentally
discharged guns. There were no sui
cides and no murders.
In 1918 only five of the twenty-four
persons who came to death suddenly
had valid cause, the percentage of the
deaths caused by accident being al
most rs Jas compared to so the fol-
lowing year. There were three homi-
cides, four suicides, six deaths caused
by automobile accident, two accident
ly shot, one burned to death and
n drowned. The cause of one death
was reported unknown, and one per-
son died as a result of pneumonia
contracted from exposure while mem
tally deranged.
