But some man will say,
How are the dead raised up?
and with what body do they
come?
Thou fool, that which thou
sowest IS not quickened, ex-
cept it die: and that which
thou sowest, thou sowest not
that body that shall be but
bare grain, it may chance of
wheat, or of some other
grain: But God giveth it a
body as it hath pleased him,
and to every seed his own
body"
$50 also is the resurrection
of the dead. 1t is sown in
corruption: it is raised in in
corruption:
1t is sOwn in dishOnOr: it is
raised in glory: it is sown i'm
weakness; it is raised i'm pow
er:
1t is sOwn a natural body:
it is raised a spiritual body"

ONLY 60 PCT. OF
BIRTHS IN CITY
AMONG VIII 7 ES
Interesting Facts Reveal
ed by City Clerks
Data

j. S. Ioofhourow, city clerk, is
compiling figures on the vital re-
cords of El Centre district, which
includes the city and territory
round about it.
During the year 1922 there were,
in this territory a total of 275
births divided us follows: White,
1862; japanese, 81; Mexicans, 49,;
Negroes, 10; IIindus, l.
twill be noted that approximate
ly so per cent of the births were
of white parents, the remaining 40
per cent being made of the other
races. OF these, the japanese lead
with 20 per cent of the total, the
Mexican coming next with about
rs per cent, while the Negroes show
about 5 per cent.
1t is Il matter of remark that
here in such close proximity 20 the
Mexican border, the birthrate of
that of the Japanese. It appears
the Japanese and the death rate of
the MeXicans is far in excess of
that o fthe Japanese. It appears
from n casual check Of the figures,
that the death rate of whites in the
district is much greater than that
of the others, but this is explained
by the fact that many come here
viii tuberculosis and other mala-
dies, seeking health, and dying here.
The percentage of deaths among
resident whites is not excessive, the
valley being remarkably healthy.
