Skeleton Found

flcers were puzzled today in their
attempts to identify a skeleton
found yesterday by two small
boys where it had been buried
near a highway culvert. The high-
way fill was built five years ago.
The body, that of a man six feet
tall and dressed in a black suit,
apparently had been placed there
more recently.

Coming to Play
Friday Evening
By KERMIT HORN
The Mexia Bilack Cats, after
defeating the strong Lufkin Pan-
thers 14-0, loomed as possible
favorites for honors in district
eleven.tThe Black Cats, by taking
the fit'st conference game of the
season, gaine'd a march on the
remainder of the loo* members,
who do not go into district' play
for one or two weeks. The Hen-
derson Lions, idle the past week,
meet the Mexia team Friday in
what is expected to be one of
the most decisive of the early
season games toward determin-
ing the conference winner. Jack-
sonville, displayed lots of power
in their game last week by bowl-
ing over the Kilgore team 20-0,
while the Nacogdoches surprised
district fans by nosing out South
Park of Beaumont, 7-6. The two
remaining teams of the district
dropped games, Athens to the|
husky Hillsboro Eagles by a 18-0
score and Palestine, to the small|
Class B Grapeland squad by a
26-12 count.
Jacksonville will be idle thisl
week, while Henderson will play
at Mexia, Athens at Tyler, Cen-
ter at Lufkin and Nacogdoches
will meet Palestine. Only two, the
Mexia-Henderson game and the
Palestine-Nacogdoches affair will
be conference battles.

Neero Farmers
of Limestone to
Have Own Fair
There are 3900 negro farmers
ill Limestone county, says S. M.
Jlarriwether, negro county agent,
and it is quite appropriate, there
fore, that they have their own
Limestone County Fair, which
opens Wednesday for a four-day
run at the negro park in the
western edge of Mexia. Farm
displays will be featured, with
community exhibits arranged in
a newly constructed building.
"About 85 per cent of the 3900
negro farmers of Limestone are
found in the most part East of
a line from Kosse to Mexia,
thence northwest following the
Navasota river to a point west
of Coolidge. About 100,000 acres
of land is owned and controlled
by negroes in the county. Sixty
per cent of the farmers in the
Mexia trade territory are ne-
groes, and 60 per cent of the
negro farrows in the county are
land owners.
"Negro farmers have given 100
per cent cooperation in all the
government programs affecting
farmers in thiB section.
"Terracing, diversification, and
planting orchards, improving pas
tures and improving livestock and
poultry are all being practiced
by negro farmers under the lead
ership of the extension workers."
In addition to the agricultural
displays, there will be a carnival
company. The fair association
owns five acres of land, which
will be deeded later to the city
of Mexia for a municipal park
for negroes. •
Judging of exhibits will be
Thursday, October 10th. Two foot
ball games are planned. Dunbar
plays Wortham Thursday at 3:30
p. m. while on Friday Calvert
plays Woodland at 3:30. Games
will be at the fair park.
"G-Men" of
Heating Wage
War on Colds
America's Public Health Enemy
Number One, the common cold, is
about to be put on the spot. The
heat is to be turned on and this
rampaging foe of mankind, recog-
nized as the most vicious and de-
structive of all diseases, is finally
to be "taken for a ride" by none
other than the G-men, in this case
the gas men.
Starting in today's issue of this
newspaper, the gas company is
launching one of the most intensive
campaigns ever devised to teach
health. They have declared war a-
gainst the disease germs that lurk
in cold hallways and unheated
rooms. Backed by medical authori-
ties they state that the family
which huddles in one room over an
open flame heater with the win-
dows tightly closed is inviting dis-
aster. An even heat throughout the
entire house is said to be one of the
best protections against colds,
while to pass from'a hot room into
J a cold hallway is an invitation for
the deadly cold and pneumonia
germs to strike.
The common cold is posting the
American public hundreds of mil-
lions of dollars yearly and doctors
have found that one of the most fer
tile breeding grounds for this germ
is the stuffy, overheated, poorly
ventilated room. It is for this rea-
son that the gas company, accord-
ing to its officials, is taking the
lead in public education to reduce
the ravages of colds, pneumonia
and similar diseases by instructing
the public in the proper methods of
fieating their homes.
With newspaper advertisements,
booklets and information of all
kinds, the bombardment is to con-
tinue through the heating season.
Doctors, scientists, heating engi-
neers, ventilating experts, public
authorities, newspapers, and others
have been enlisted for the war.

tues."
