Final plans for Mishawakas mu-
nicipal Christmas tree were made
at a meeting of the committee held
Saturday afternoon at the library.
Thanks to the generosity of Mrs
Mary Booth. the city will have the
privilege of using the magnificent
evergreen tree in the yard at the
Booth home at Church st. and Lin
coin way E. This is an unusually
fine tree and viii present a superb
appearance when ready
Many small lights will be used i'm

the sentiments Of the times. dec
retions of a patriotic nature will
he used on the tree. A concert will
be given by the Dodge co. band
and community singing Will add its
cheerful significance to the celebra-
lion. Oranges will be given to all
the children.
Particular efforts are being put
forth by the committee to make
the affair completely successful. So
much importance has been attach
ed TO the matter by other cities
that many which have not hereto
fore had the municipal entertain
ment will have a tree this year. It
is thought that some such celebra-
ton will do much 10 mitigate the
natural sadness of many hearts at
this time when so many Of the ma
