Connersville Plants Give
Town Barbecue on
July 4.

A community Play Day which
promises to become an annual event
perhaps nationwide In scope, was In
"Tgurated in the city OF Conners-
vile. Ind. on July l.
The idea-for which Frank B. An
sted, president of the Lexington NO

industries in Co1nersville, is respon-
sible-harkens back to the days of
baroecues, community picnics and
old-fashioned safe and sane Fourths"
sans the boresome speeches.
The original PLAY Day. was the
outgrowth OF a desire on the part OF
Frank b. Ansted to arrange an af-
fair which would tend to bind more
closely the ties OF citizenship prevail
ing in the little Hoosier community.
whose almost entire interests are de-
voted to the manufacture Of auto
mobiles and automobile parts. So
successful was it that A movement
has been launched to make It an af-
fair of national character.
Mr.. Ansted chose July 4 as the on
perfume time for the initial "rpIay
Day event because OF its relation to
American history, not only in its orig
inal conception, but in its latest sig
nihcance as the first peace independ-
ence day following the cessation of
abroad.
Ten thousand of ConnersvilIe's 1900
residents attended the affair, which
the ConnersvIlle newspapers describe
as the greatest event in the history OF
the community. OF these 10000. more
than 5000 are employees of the Lexing-

be no further reduction for a good
many months. Equally certain is it

Sumatra Coolies Must
Have Cold Tea-Yes, Tea

On the great plantation Of the
United States Rubber Company in
Sumatra- one of the chief dificul-
ties OF the plantation managers is
to keep the sources OF drinking
water free from contamination.
The 10000 natives employed on the
plantations show a fine disregard of
all the rules of sanitation that are
second nature to an American or
European.
In order that the workers NAV
always have a cooling drink with
out running the risk Of drinking
contaminated water. cold tea is
served in liberal quantities. Boys
carrying cold tea pass frequently
from group to group.
The company finds that this prac-
tce greatly reduces the number OF
cases of fevers of the sort caused
by drinking impure water.
