LAND PURCHASED FOR PARA ANDPLAY GROUNDS A fifteen-acre tract of land in the northeastern part of the corporation of Nappanee has been purchased by an incorporated company of seventyfive of our business men and citizens for a public park. The company has elected directors and numerous committees are already at work on the improvements to be made on the grounds. ~c An athletic field for high school track meets, foot ball, base ball, children’s play grouhds and all forms of entertainment for children, tennis courts and Croquet grounds will be a feature of this park. The base ball diamond and grand stand will be ready by the Fourth of July,, when a strong. S6rni-pro team will, be here to play the Tigers. This will be a big attraction for the Fourth and one that will bring a large crowd to Nappanee. Two-thirds of this tract of land is covered with native timber, which is thin enough so that it is all nicely set to blue grass. This will provide a most commodious park and when improved with seats and table facilities* for family reunions and picnics \4fill make a most desirable park for every purpose. Nappanee has long lacked a suitable place for the holding of family reunions, and in consequence many of the reunions of families of Nappanee and vicinity have to be held at Elkhart and Goshen.

PUBLIC PARK AND PLAY GROUND FOR NAPPANEE Subscriptions Being Taken for the Purchase of the Frevert Grove. 6 A movement is being promoted for the purchase of the Frevert grove in the northeastern part of Nappanee for a city park. This fine five-acre plat of ground which is covered w ith about four acres of native timber, lias long been looked on as a most desirable place for a city park. The Kiwanis club started a movement for its purchase a few months ago, but at that time the owner did not desire to sell and the matter was dropped for the time. The property-can now be purchased and funds are being raised for the purpose with every prospect for the ultimate su'ccess ol the project. - This plot of ground is an ideal place for a city park, it is located just six blocks from the public square. The city water comes within a few feet of the grounds and can be extended at a nominal cost, as well as the city electric lighting system. The grounds have access to the city sewerage system and thus it will he seen that every facility for a park can be provided at the least cost possible. The park will also provide a fine place for family reunions. Nappanee lias been handicapped in not having a place'where these annual gatherings can be held and many of the family reunions which would he held here if there was a suitable;, place /or them have to be held at Elkhart and Goshen. This one ’ feature alone would w;ell repay Nappanee for the outlay in securing the grounds. The option on the property provides for the purchase price being paid by August Ist, and the purpose of the promoters to deed the property to the town of Nappanee. for a city park as soon as its purchase is acquired. By another year the town hoard can spread a tax on the duplicate for the upkeep of the. park. This additional tax will be so small as to be hardly noticeable to the tax payers and will provide a fund sufficient lor the purpose. Two meetings of the promoters have been held at the town hall and an organization perfected, with Harry Price as chairman; Jesse Rlngenberg, secretary, and N-.-A. Lehman, treasurer. The soliciting committee is composed of Adam Guiss, chairman: W. \\i Wilson and John Beckneil. About two-thirds o.f the funds are already raised and as soon as our. citizens are fully acquainted -with the proposition it- is expected that there will be no trouble in raising the remained for the funds and the matter can be closed up. in a shorttime.

BOY SCOUTS CAMP. The Nappanee Boy Scout camp, which is being fay the Kiwanis club, will open at Lake James, near North Webster, on Friday in charge of H. L. Nelier as scoutmaster.
