The public is als ready taking greater interest in hav! log their babies births recorded and in reporting deaths than was ever 1 expected by the State Board of * Health. 1 call at the Vital Statistics De" partment today showed that for the B month of April over 9,000 births * and deaths have been reported at 1 against 7,100 for March and only e 4,300 for February. In the opin* ion of the Board this represent; about nine-tenths of all -the births e and deaths actually occurring in the ? Slate. This rapid increase in fig ures tells better than words of the 6 public's interest in the new law. e Our pepple no longer mean to k be born, live and die and leave no '* more record of their having been here than so many animals. Each human being certainly deserves t| have a permanent record made of f* the two most important events ol his lif& (his birth and death) and to have these records filed in the * archives of the State for all time. 18 Much of the credit for the favorable report of this county is due tc ia our admirable corps of local regiiIe trars to whom all these births and deaths occurring in the varlon r" towns and townships were first re ported. For the information of oui 1*1 readers who may have occasion t< I report births and deaths, we giv< herewith a list of the registrars ro 1,8 each town and township in this coui lc* ty.

May 17.? The wind has sadde&ly veered once more. When all seemed going well and everyone was optimistic and the Mexican delegates. t>ellevtng they had reached an agreement with tbo Americans, were abont to Issue a formal statement explanatory of their position on the land question, and regretting that It was clearly impossible for them to give guarantees as to the action of a new and sovereign fond recognised government. there came a sudden halt. The Mexican delegates had their stenographic work finished, tbelr hectograph ready to print the document, and then they stopped. They said they had concluded to Issue no pronunciamento. It might disturb the satisfactory progress of the mediation, they said. Not that they were less optimistic than ever, but they were less certain of the wisdom of the promised declaration at this critical moment. The Mexicans are hopeful of meet ing the United 8tatee halt way in the adoption of some suggestion to be submitted to the new provisional government In Mexico, which might be used as a finger post In pointing the way to a final solution. The land question is recognised by all as a fertile breeder of revolutions. It Is virtually conceded here that Insistent demand by the United States for a guaranty In pre else terms cannot bo met by the Mexican representatives since they have no power to firmly bind such an Independent government as the mediation conference aims to bring into existence. The Mexican delegates are about ready to present a list of suitably persons from which to choose a provisional president, and the American government and the mediators to Indicate one who would be acceptable. The Mexicans expect that the provisional president to be chosen will appoint a cabinet represent^* tbe varied political interests of the conn -? try and there shall be assured a fair election for a new president and chamber of deputies with guarantees for the equitable treatment of all factioty) In the forthcoming campaign. They fully expect that the provisional government established as a result of the mediation la to be accorded prompt recognition. "We will nol let the agrarian ques tion disrupt the mediation proceedings," said one of the MSSlcan delegates. "] think there 1b a way of coming into common accord on this and other points so that we may complete our work very shortly." After the conference between the mediators and the American delegates Justice Lamar dictated the 1 following statement: "We have begun to discuss the 1 terms and details of a plan of pac5 ideation. On a number of them we find ourselves in substantial agree r menu ' "Others are still under discussion and as to them there has been no dlsI agreement. We have an appointII ment to go to Toronto tomorrow to e attend a scial function there, but we expect to be able to continue our meetings along the trip. It is, of course. Improper for us to specify the particular points under discussion or those on. which we have agreed or those which we hare advanced for further consideration." BOOK CLUB The O.
