MEXICAN NATIONAL HOLIDAY

The Mexican men and women resi-
dents of Wauseon celebrated their ma
tional Independence Day last Monday
evening at Saunders Hall. The hall
was beautifully decorated with the
American and Mexican colors and
flags Of the two republics combined in
artistic draperies. At one end of the
hall on a platform sat two little girls
clad in holiday attire, with sashes Of
Mexican colors, red, white and green
one supported the Mexican flag, while
the other supported the American
flag. A band from Toledo furnished
music; speeches, songs, confetti and
a general spirit of good cheer made
the scene a bright and pleasant one
10 look upon. Clarence Geringer, at
the request Of leaders, sang several
solos and q number of citizens were
present TO express their good will.
The presence Of the ladies and chill
dren helped TO make the affair a sue
cess.
September 10th. 1910, is the date
of Mexico's formal independence from
Spain and the beginning of its life
as n republic.
We cannot but admire these people
who in the midst of strange land
and people are still loyal to the Flag
of their native land and do not forge
TO show their loyalty by observing
their great national holiday.
We hope that their country ma!
emerge from all the confusion anC
partisanship that has troubled it il
recent years into a period of peace
prosperity and progress, and that a,
misunderstanding may interfere will

between our own Nation and Mexico

One of the most commanding sub

with.
Most soaps and prepared shampoos
contain too much alkali This drios tho

lather, and oleanses the hair and scalp
thoroughly. The lather rinse= cut easily,
