The only notable feature of the Hartford County league week was the eclipse of Plainvile, which went down before East Glastonbury, 5-S, in a hard fought game. A victory for Plainville would have jammed four teams into tie for the lead, but the team on top kept it's ad- vantage by turning back the visitors and is still a full game to the fore. The defeat dropped Plainville back into fourth place and probably puts them out of the race.
 The Orford Soap team kept right behind East Glastonbury by falling on Kensington for an Ill victory. while Feeney of East Berlin, allow ing only three hits, bested German and Holland of Highland Park in a pitchers battle and earned a 6-1 decision for his team. Only one week of scheduled play remains. but there have been many games post poned and the playing off if these will probably occupy the balance Of the month.

PHILIPPINES CAN
 PRODUCE RUBBER
firstone Optimistic About
 Islands

Paul Smiths, N. r, Aug. 4 R- Enough waste land is available in the Philippines for rubber produc- ! ton to take care of all future needs of this country, President , Coolidge was told yesterday by Harvey s. Firestone, jr., son of the Akron, O., rubber manufacturer, who called at the executive offices to discuss the rubber situation. In fact, Mir, Firestone said ill Mindanao and adjacent lands of the southern islands of the Philippine group there are 25,O0o,o00 acres excellenuy suited t, rubber proIuc- ton and one-tenth of that acreage would provide for all the needs Of the United States. The situation has long interested MT Coolidge.
 Legislation Necessary
 MT, f1restoue recently completed business survey of the possible rubber production fields in the ]
 East and said today his comp;. was prepared to embark upon o. extensive rubber-growing program II the way was cleared by legisla- ton in the Philippines.
 The British at present, MT. Fire stone said, control 77 per cent of the rubber production business, through holdings in the Malay pen- insula, Ceylon and British North Borneo, while the Americans control only : or 3 per cent, through hold ings in sumatra. Yet, he added, the American consumption is 70 per cent Of the whole world. Only recently, he said, British restrictions on out put have meant an additional as sessment on the American people of s136. 100000 a year.
 TireStone Work Started
 The Ffrestone interests, the Pres ident was told, have leased 1.000,- GOO acres Of rubber production in Liberia and, with force of 5000 men, are clearing the land and set ting out trees, but it requires five years for young tree to produce the rubber milk, and, furthermore, any extensive program necessarily must be accomplished progressively, so that it will be many years before adequate production will be in hands under most favor able circumstances.
 A total of 4,SS0,000 acres are planted to rubber trees in the entire ,,li ot while by 19Ss it is estimated an ad- ditional 1,6000O0 acres will be ne cessary for world demands.

 E. L. Taylor, one Of the deputies, who attended the revival, said Mir. Moss had been holding services in Butler county for two months, nov ing from place to place. His sub jects mainly dealt with an attack on liquor offenders and law violators. He had been told several times to stop his activities.

Noise and distraction in Landers, Frary & Clark fails to disturb four felines as they march in solemn pro- cession in back of Day Watchman John E. Smith of 214 Washingt on street as he makes his daily rounds from one room 10 another in the factory.
 A peculiar sidelight is the fact that the cats show no tendency to stray from his side or run about. When he stops to ring at his various boxes, they come to a halt and are off again as Mir. Smith continues his tour.
 Mir. Smith seems to be known to felines generally, for every morning and noon about 20 of them will appear at his gate house where they know they will be fed. As soon as they have participated in their daily meals they leave that Is all but his four silent co-watchmen and faithful friends.

In his Memorial Day service at the
Arlington Amphitheatre, President
Coolidge appealed to the common
sense of the nation and stressed world
peace. He eulogiEed the dead, whose
efforts had achieved the freedom OF
the country as 1t is today. Particular
emphasis was placed on wars fought
by the nation, not for military glory,
but to secure conditions under which
peace would be more permanent, lib
erty would be more secure, and justice
would be more certain.
Our military operations have been
in the service of the cause of human
fly, and this nation approaches no
ceremony with such universal sanction
as that which is held in commemora-
ton over the graves of those who
have performed military duty" the
President said
The address was heard far and
wide. An immense throng assembled
at the amphitheatre to hear the serv.
ice and to be present at the decoration
