Interesting Insight Into The
States of The Warning Mexico

States and in Germany, where it is
used for cordage and in the manufac-
ture of baskets. 1t is of this fibre
that the famous 'tilma in the shrine
at Guadalupe is woven. About this
blanket the following interesting leg
ior is told: At the close of the cen
fury which marked the conquest of
Mexico by the Spaniards the Virgin
Mary appeared miraculously before an
Indian on the hill of Guadalupe and
bade him tell his bishop to build a
shrine on that spot, The Indians mes
sage was disregarded on two occas-
ions, but when the Virgin appeared a
third time before her messenger she
gave him symbol telling him to
gather some flowers growing on the
hillside, and take them to the bishop.
These flowers the Indian wrapped in
his 'tilma.' When he reached the
c1urchman the blossoms hod disap-
peared and in their stead, on the in
ner folds of the ixtIe fibre blanket
there was revealed the face of the
Virgin in glowing colors, Just as the
imprint of the Sayior's face remained
indelible on the kerchief Of st. Veron-
sea. The blanket hangs today under a
tabernacle of silver and gold, in the
shrine built by the bishop, and the
colors have remained comparatively
fresh for three centuries.
"satillo, a town of about $4,000,
founded by the spaniards in 1886, is
the capital of Coahuila 1t is a pop
ular health resort and is famous as
the birthplace Of Leon Vicario, the
Joan of Arc of lIexico'8 war of indie
pendence. Here also was born the re-
public's poet of passion Manuel Ac-
una, who at the height of his career
committed suicide on account of an
unhappy love affair
Torreon, in the center of the cot
ton belt, is a thriving manufacturing
city of $4,000, with soap factories,
rubber works, and packing houses in
addition to its textile mills. The Par

Team work was emphasized by a
Chautauqua speaker the other night
The speaker is right, this is the only
kind of work that counts for much in
city building. Show us a town where
the citizens pull together, where team
work is the rule rather than the ex-
ception and we will show you town
that is worth while. Think of this peo-
pie of Americas.
