GOODYEAR BIDS
F0RI|MPER|AL
VALLEY COTTON

The introduction of pima cotton has
brought for Imperial Valley the bids
of one of the largest tire companies.
Speaking of the cotton situation in
the valley Warren E. Finney, man.
ager of the San Diego branch of the
Goodyear Tire company said:
"The company is looking to Impe-
rial for large share of the long
staple cotton necessary for the manu-
facture of tires, and now has agree
ments with many Imperial Valley
cotton growers to take the product of
some 10000 acres of land that have
been converted into fertile cotton
producing fields. This is the COM
pany's first year in this region as a
buyer of cotton, and the expectation
Of Goodyear is to increase it's cotton
acreage as rapidly as the growers can
accommodate this crop to their lands.
The cotton secured in Imperial Valley
will be used in the new plant recently
completed in Los Angeles"
Warren E. Finney, branch manager
at San Diego for the Goodyear Tire
& Rubber Company of California, an
nounces that the Imperial Valley has
been added to the San Diego sales
territory and will be covered from
San Diego as headquarters.
Formerly the valley as part of
the territory covered by the Goodyear
branch at Los Angeles, but it's prox-
unity to San Diego and the close bus
mess relations that have been built
uyp in many lines with the coast city,
now permit the economical clearing
of the valleys business through San
Diego.
The accessibility of the Imperial
basin by railroad over the San Diego
& Arizona, and motor truck trans
portation facilities via the highway
of Ell Centro and adjacent cities, have
also borne their part in the determin-
alton of the company to put the two
southermost counties of the state in
the same sales territory.
"This move has been contemplated
by the officials of the company for
some time," states branch manager
Finney, "and now becomes reality

AMERICA DRAWS
FIRST. BLOOD IN
OLYMPIC GAMES
(RV Associated PreSs)

ANTWERP Aug. 16.--Charles Pad
dock of Los Angeles today won the
finals in the hundred meter event. His
time was 1914 seconds.
Paddock is Southern California ath-
elete. and star member of the U. S. C.
track team. Ever since his first
competition against California and
Stanford his fleetness has been the
bane of colleges in the northern part
of the state, and particularly of Cal
ifornia and Stanford. Early til S
season Stanford thought that in Nor
ris Kirksey she at last had man
capable of beating Paddock, while the
Blue and Gold backed Calden as a
sprinter capable of defeating the
South's pride.
Calden tore a tendon in MS beg be-
fore competing against Paddock while
Kirksey was never able to head Pad
dock off. Sprinters in the Eas: were
hailed as champions, but fell before
the Southern lad.
Paddock has now achieved the
greatest thing possible, and done it in
time equalling that of the best pre-
vious record. The hundred meter is
equal to 120 yard dash.

hearts of thousands of admirers in

than that composed of her co-work
