REPUBLICAN RALLY
Anniversary of Signing The Consttion of The United
States To Be Celebrated By Republican Rally at The
Court House i'm Wauseon Friday evening Sep
tember 18th. An Interesting Program and
Stirring Address Promised.

September 18th, 1887, just one
hundred and thirty-three years ago,
what has been called and doubtless
is the greatest governmental docu-
ment in all the history Of the race
was signed by thirty nine members
of the Federal Constitutional Con-
vention and submitted to the Con-
gress of the Confederation that they
in turn might submit it to the various
states of the Confederation for rati-
fcation. That constitution made OF
those confederated states "a distinct
and autonomous state composed OF
many all bound together in one in
dissoluble union. Under this consti-
tuition as it's Supreme Law this ma
ton has prospered, developed and
progressed until it has come to occupy
first place among the Nations of the
World.
1t is eminently fitting that the po-
litical party which in this campaign
of 1920 stands pledged to continue u
this country the constitutional form
of government and this--great Amer,
can Constitution inviolate as opposed
to those movements which tend to

A "GOOD TURN"
MUCH APPRECIATED

Last Sunday afternoon the Wau-
seon Boy Scout Band under the sup
ervision of Mr. G. J. Ives, Chief Scout
Master went out to the County Home
at Ottokee and gave concert of
their best music for the benefit of the
twenty-eight inmates of the Home.
We dare say that the boys have never
in all their history as band, play
ed to more appreciative audience
'sssae Superintendent and Matron, Mr..
xr.1 Ars B. F. Jones wish to public
" express their thanks to the Boy
Scouts and Scout Master Ives for this
real and lasting pleasure which they
love given to their charges. 1t sure
ly was a "good turn" which was
5 merely appreciated by the benef-
ciaries and one which will afford
them pleasant memories for many
days to come.

DON'T DESECRATE
THE FLAG

There are reasons enough withoui
going into details or arguing the
matter, why American citizens shoulo
respect and honor the American
Flag, that will appeal to the average
American, but in case there shoul,
be some American citizens who
through ignorance or lack of the tru,
American spirit should carelessly OF
thoughtlessly fail to show proper re
spect to the National Emblem the
law makers of Ohio have placed or
the statute books of the State the
following:
Section 1886 of the General Code Of
Ohio
Whoever prints, paints or places :
word, figure, mark, picture or desigr
upon flag, standard, color or en-.
sign OF the United States, the State
OF ONO, or causes it to be done, or
exposes, or causes to be exposed, such
flag, standard, color or ensign upon
which is printed, painted or placed,
or to which is attached or appended
word, figure, mark, picture or de-
sign or manufactures or has in pos
session an article of merchhnosse
upon which is placed or attached a
representation of such flag, stand
ard, color or ensign or publicly NUT
ilates, defiles, defaces or casts con-
tempt upon such flag, standard, col
or or ensign, shall be fined not more
than One Hundred ($100) Dollars or
imprisoned not more than thirty
days, or both.
1t may have been due to his ex-
huberant enthusiasm but the Demo-
cratic Editor who pinned the pictures
OF Democratic candidates on the
American Flag last week Thursday
evening, as he is reported by an eye
witness to have done should restrain
that enthusiasm and reflect that not
yet has any candidate of any party
attained to that degree of sancity
which entities him or them to have
their protraits placed on the Ameri-
can Flag even in the presence of a
purely Democratic audience. There
is only one object that may with i'm
punity be placed on the Flag and
that is the Bible. The Flag may
fittingly appear above the heads of
those who reverence it and are ready
to defend and uphold it. 1t may fit
tingly rest upon the casket that con-
tains the lifeless form of one who
has hazhrded his life in defense of
the country and the principles of Lib
erty and justice for which it stands
The American Flag to Americans
is something more than piece OF
bunting to be used for decorative pur-
poses. It is the emblem of our coun-
try just as the Bible is the emblem
of our God.

Labor Day Base Ball Game Draws Big Crowd To Legion
Ball Park Monday Afternoon. Wauseon Team Lose
To Adrain in Two Hard Fought Games. Boy
Scout Band Enlivens The Game with their
Music

The cloudy and threatening weather
all day Monday failed to keep the
Wauseon crowd from Legion Ball
Park Monday afternoon and as the
business places of Wauseon all clos
ed their doors at noon practically
everyone in Wauseon who desired to
do so had the opportunity to witness
the "Big Double Header" between the
Adrian Team and the Legion Team
of Wauseon. Fans VIII were disap-
pointed over the failure of the Sun
day game to materilize on account
of the wet weather had their appe-
tites sharpened for the Monday game
and when the Boy Scout Band was
heard on the street the rest of the
folks that had been undecided about
going, fell in line and the consequence
was a fine crowd at the park to wit
ness two hard fought games.
The first game finished with a
score of A. to O. Up to the seventh
inning the score remained to 0 ther

Long, pitching for Wauseon weaken
ed and Adrian scored one run. Wau-
seon was unable to get a man past
3rd, Adrian scored three more and :t
was all over but the shouting with
the honors to Adrian.
In the second game only seven in
nings were played. Sandy Forrest
pitching for Wauseon had the Ad-
rian team at his mercy until the
seventh when with few hits coupled
with errors they were able to score
one run which put the game on ice
Wauseon came near tying the score
when the Adrian catcher blocked a
man at the home plate and spoiled
Wauseon's chances.
Mr.. Cap Hawley umpired for
Wauseon and handled the game in
most satisfactory manner. When
they are in need of an umpire again
it would be a good plan to let ZAP
do it.

Wauseon, Ohio
Dear Friend:--
promised j would try and find out
a few facts concerning our water
works and hlterlng plant, and now
wlu try and write you. We built our
Original Water Works System, IN
cud.ng Reservoir, Pumping Station
Water Tank CrowerJ and Water
Mairss at a total of less than $780,.
OOO Some of the items as follows:
1. Land for Res. $1,000, 13 3-4
acres. Capacity 100000 gallons.
2. Dam and Pumping Station, Tex
cepE MCt0rs) $lO,S6U.
q Water power (tank) 95 feet
high, capacity 10000 gallons, $4,-
1853
The rest of the money was for wa.
ter mmtns,- motors etc. etc. ~ r+
The above may not interest you SC
much as 1t was built in 1906, but vii
give you some idea of size of pond
which spreads out or extends bach
so as to cover 221k acres and at deep
est part is 80 feet deep. The area oi
drainage is the amount that told yoI
when ] was in Wauseon.
But the following will interest yoI
rs Vt concerns the filtering plan
which was finished and put into oper
alton six weeks ago,
/ told you thought we voted $40,
O0U, but here | was wrong, We talk
ed $4,000 in the beginning, but wbeI
we voted for it, it was only $35, ,O0'
and here are some figures on thi
which looks to me as though someon,
was looking for a little rake off bacl
IN Wauseon.
1. Land, one acre for building
2. Building and settling basir
S15.5O0.
And then some other expense
which made the total expenses for
flterlng plant cost S22,416 (not ir
ciuding pumps). We also extende
water mains 6500.feet, so to make
long story short, when we finished
readaN Mr. use, with the extension
we had used $33,569.3S and every
thing installed in other words,
completed filtering plant with GOT
extension of water mains for $33
5693S and built during the currer
high prices. They have coag. va

fiItsring units, capacity 1000 to 800
