The Highland Park Press Entered as Second Class matter March 1, 1911, at the post office at Highland Park, Illineis. under the Act of March 3, 1879. . Published weekly by The Udell Printing Co. at Highland Park, Lake County, llinois From thousands of bleacher sections about now, comes the voice of the ball game crowd. From the vast stadium in the great city, down to the little country town common where the spectaâ€" tors stretch out on a few board seats or sit on the grass, its voice is about the same. It shows uncontrollable joy when the home team does someâ€" thing, it pours its contempt to the umpire when he gives & doubtâ€" ful decision against the home team. It wants the pitcher taken out if he makes a few wild throws. It takes self control for a nervous player to go up against this: bleacher crowd, as they jeer at his efforts, when he is doing his level best to make good. Many of the spectators whose wits move with the most obtuse slowness, will call him a bonehead,‘ when in the time of a single second he can not decide on the right thing to do. \ If the bleacher crowd wants to help on its home team, it should pass over some errors in silence. Constant advice to take a player out never made a ball team play any better in any town. NUMBER 25 People who stay at summer resort hotels on their vacation trips, are seeing as usual a great many college students who are earning their way in part by this summer work. Also many school teachers augment their income in the same way. It is a pleasure to have these refined young people performing this essential servâ€" ice, in which they make an earnest effort to please. _ _ There was a time when young people had a certain false pride, and many would have thought themselves too "refined" for such service. But it seems much more desirable to do this necessary work, which gives the public something it needs, than the plan of many who go around ringing people‘s doorbells and trying to sell them something they do not want. .. Your quiet waiter will not probably offer to talk much to you, but she will probably know far more philosophy and science than you do. It should be a pleasure to commend these young people for this service, which is so very creditable to them.

The body with the head erushed was taken from beneath the heavy machine within a few minutes after the accident. Life was extinct. The tragic end of the man came when he attempted to stop his maâ€" chine which had started down the small embankment. Willett, an old resident in the Channell Lake district, had driven to a roadside mail box for his mail. He stopped his machine and climbed out without applying the brakes. As he started toward the mail box he turned in time to see the machine start down the slight incline. He leaped for the running board of the car and apparently reached inside and applied the emergency brake. This brake did not hold, however. Striking the bottom of the ditch on an angle the machine fell on the side with a thud catching Willett, who apparently had been standing on the running board on the right side, beneath it. > FOX RIVER PROJECT DEFEATED BY VOTERS Voters of five counties on Friday last defeated the proposed Fox River Conservancy district, conceived for the purpose of stopping pollution, by 550.

The unusual seasonal rise in Lake Michigan during th* last 3 months has brought the lake level to within Recent reports from the United States lake survey show the lake was 0.29 foot higher during last July than it was during the previous month and 0.83 foot higher than the July stage of a year ago. During last July the lake was 580.41 feet above mean sea level. The mean level over the last 67 years was 580.94 Yearly cycles of change of height with the season of the year usually causing the lake to be one foot highâ€" er in summer than in winter. Irregular changes produced by deep freezring of tributary streams in very cold winters and by clogging of outflowing streams by ice jams. Records in marriage license for August are to be shattered this year from all appearances as 197 were issued in the first ten days, according to Joseph Stanczak, deputy county clerk. Daily fluctuations caused by winds and changes of barometric pressure. MARRIAGE LICENSES NUMEROUS THIS MONTH At the present rate there are about 25 more licenses a week being writâ€" ten over last year when the full month totaled 491. Figuring on the 1928 spurt there should be close to 600 issued before the end of the month.
