LAST SINGLE GRAVE IN
CEMETERY IS NOW SOLD
Three Lots to be Divided Into
Nine More Single
Graves.

Few people at present realize the
great problem which is facing Misha-
waka in the matter of proper facilities
for burying its dead. Never before
has the proposition been of such grave
importance, for, ccording to Mrs.
George Shobe, secretary of the Mish-
awake Cemetery association, the last
single grave which the association had
for sale was used Sunday afternoon
in the burial Of Peter c. Neulandt.
This will come as a great surprise
TO many people. who had not thought
that the matter of new cemetery was
of such great Importance at the pres
ent time.
However, Mrs Shobe stated that al
though all of the single graves are now
sold, there are still three lots with
three graves each still unsOld. These
lots were held by the association for
people who were DESTROYS of purchas-
ing more than one grave for family
burials. It is now expected that the
lots will be sold out for single burials.
After they are gone there Will be no
more graves possible in Mishawaka.
The News-Times was told Monday
evening that hereafter and until
further cemetery facilities are secured
burials will have to be made in South
Bend or elsewhere.
AT the present time there Is no def
mite assurance that a cemetery will be
secured in Mishawaka anywhere with
in time to solve the problem which
confronts the city.
1t was hoped that the Lincoln Gar
dens cemetery proposition would ma
ture and be ready to take care of
burials by the time the facilities in
the Mishawaka City cemetery had
given out. However, according to
prominent men connected with the
latter project, the matter is still
hanging fire. and it may be some
time yet before anything definite along
this line will be assured.
There are several other cemetery
projects under consideration in Mish-
awake atNthis time, but no assurance
is given out by any of the promoters
that they will be carried through.

MODERN MURAL PAINTING
DISCUSSION OF ART CLUB

The semi-monthly meeting Of the
art department Of the Mishawaka
Woman's club was held Tuesday at
ternOOn in the club rooms of the
Methodist Memorial church. Mrs.
Frederick l.. Sims gave an extremely
interesting discussion Of the modern
mural painters. Abbey Sargent and
Purvis DeChavannes, whose works she
finely illustrated by microscope views.
Mrs. Sims told in a most amiable
way how the emotional paintings of
Sargent differed so greatly from those
OF Abbey's, whose color tone was
wonderful. The latter put more de-
tail finishings to his backgrounds and
was more simple in his figures and
their dress. Purvis DeChavannes
touches more on his figures, while his
backgrounds are light and airy. Mrs.
Sims gave some very fine suggestions
for portfolio gifts.

SENIORS AND JUNIORS
TIE FOR FIRST PLACE

The interclass basket ball schedule
was resumed Monday afternoon when
the juniors met the eighth grade and
defeated them. 10 to s. Next was a
game between the seniors and sopho-
mOres in which the sophomores were
bested. The game was fast and
clever. fumbling by the sophomores
in the last half being costly, as the
seniors rolled up 20 points against the
sophomores' IA.
In the evening the senior-eighth
grade game was a lopsided affair. the
eighth grade being hopelessly out
classed by the older men. BURNETT
was the chief basket getter for the
seniors, and helped get the AZ points
that looked mighty big against the
two registered by the eighth graders,
although many said il should have
been more.
The last game OF the evening was
a close one between the freshmen and
juniors till some Of the freshmen's
best men were jerked HECK played
a rushing game for the freshmen,
while Jontz for the juniors played
brilliantly. Juniors, 10; freshmen, 4.
There was quite a change in the
lighting of the gym as several new
lights were put in, but the seating ia
cilities were sadly deficient, and the
crowd getting on the floor impeded
the game many times. Every one
is boosting for a new gym, or a re-
modelled one, but it seems as far off
as ever and they have about de-
cided that the school board is not a
very athletic bunch
