We expect a visit soon from a well known citizen of Illinois accompanied by a well known citizen of Michigan. The two are Mr. Blair, Supt of Pubâ€" lic Instruction of Illinois and Prof. "I wish either, or both of you, were here to enjoy the refreshing and ‘recuperative atmosphere which prevails here. The "torrid heat" you have been enduring there lately did not reach here and we pitied you and other friends when we read of it in letters and newspapers.

Last Saturday we had a~ call from 160 members of the Michigan State Horticultural society, of which I have been a life member for more than a score of years. All were enthusiastic in their praise of cur orchards and our summer home. Messrs. John L. and Paul L. Udell have just received an interesting letâ€" ter from John Western, written from his famous fruit farm in Michigan, part of. which is as follows: Thursday, July 31, 1930 John Western Writes Interesting Letter; at Mich. Fruit Farm At Ravinia A baseball game was played at Ravinia playground last Friday eveâ€" ning between two men‘s teams, one led by Dick Hammond, the other by Harvey Olson. This was a closely fought affair, the score finally standâ€" ing at 14â€"12 in favor of Olson‘s boys, after battling out a 12â€"12 tie in 10 innings. After the early innings the fray developed into a pitcher‘s batâ€" tle between Harvey Olson and Dick Hammond, and Miss Beula Smith, the umpire, encountered several difficult situations. More of these games will be played, as the two teams are now eager for blood and much interest has been shown. It has been rumâ€" ored that the winners will challenge the Chicago Cubs to a World Series battle during the World‘s Fair in From the start the game was one of "breaks." There, were very few long hits, and most of the runs were scored on errors. The score was close all the way through the game. At the end of the first half of the ninth inning Ravinia was ahead, 16â€"15. Sunset came to bat in the last half of the ninth with fire in its eyes and vengeance in its heart, and the first two men proceeded to go out. Then the fireworks began. Gunckel doubled to center, and Andy Petros, the hardâ€" hitting third sacker, took the first ball for a ride to the left field "junâ€" gle," far beyond third base. He rode the four bases with Gunckel ahead of him, and scampered across the plate to the shout and huzzahs of his teammates. It was a great game and a great victory. j Baseball The Sunset playground baseball team took a close fought victory from the Ravinia team last Wednesday, July 23, with a score of 17â€"16. The game was the fourth in the playâ€" ground series, and put Sunset in the lead with an advantage of 3 to 1 in games. is working up a number called "Singâ€" ing in the Rain," in which there are 20 to 25 girls.

Many times beâ€" fore he had eaten breakfast there but his appetite for the first time had become a matter of national conâ€" cern and reporters flocked to the kitâ€" chen to find what he would order. Down came the waiter, looking pale. "What is it?" queried the reportâ€" ers breathlessly, "Sausage and wheat cakes?" "No," said the waiter. "He wants tomato marmalade." ‘‘Tomato marmalade?" echoed the chef.â€" "I‘ve never heard of it." Every article in the larder was Calvin Coolidge‘s whimsical appeâ€" tite, which went under public observaâ€" tion the first morning he became President, has made Mrs. Carl Barâ€" rett, of Millis, Mass., richâ€"that is, rich as New England housewives reâ€" gard riches.

Later Mr. Coolidge ordered, another lot and insisted upon paying for it.
