FactoryIs
1YearOld
Plant at Los Angeles
Puts 345,O12 Tires
One Market in First
IL Months

Los Angeles, June 25.-on June
IA. 1920, after / / months Of night
and day preparation which turned
a cabbage field into a group OF
building and concrete and steel,
representing the largest industrial
plant of its kind anywhere in the
vast, the first Goodyear tire was
manufactured in the new Los An
geles factory OF the Goodyear Tire
and Rubber company of Califor-
mia.
It was less than one year from
the time ground was broken until
Goodyear tire No. came steam
ing from the mold--for it is
fact that the rapid completion of
the plant represented progress
never before equalled in this west
ern territory.
Now, one year Of actual produc-
tion has passed, and Goodyear tire
No. 345y012 has been selected from
the production of June IA, 1921,
as a milestone marker and will be
on display in the Exhibition hall
of the chamber Of commerce at
Los Angeles.
In speaking of the extraordinary
progress of the Goodyear factory
during its first year Of existence,
Mr.. Slusser, general superintend-
ent says: "At the beginning the
present factory was but frame
work of brick and steel. But, in
spite of the then existing shortage
Df labor and material, and despite
Che handicap Of a serious railroad
Aieup, the work was rushed to com
.Sletion with a surprising thoro-
Aghness and speed. Actual pro-
auction began on June IA, 1920,
and from that date on, it never
ceased
IAN average of 1850 employees
have been carried on the payroll
during this, the first year of the
sactory's existence, to whom ap-
proximately $2,362,301.74 have
been paid in wages and salaries. T"
In commenting on the work of
the sales organization Mr.. ]. r.
Reilly, sales manager says: "Des-
pite the fact that the last year was
an unusual one In the way of sales
IN that sales in most lines were in
excess of those to- be had during

Is Being Circulated Here.

Application to the State Board of
Parole for release from the Maryland
Penitentiary of Luther Frye, con.
victed last December in the Circuit
Court for Garrett county of particle
pating in the hold-up and robbery of
the First National Bank at Kitzmil-
Ter on May A. 1917, and sentenced to
three years, was made on Tuesday
in a petition signed by residents of
the county, which included every
member of the local bar, business
men of the town and many others.
Frye was taken in Virginia, his
home State, last August and con-
fessed his part in the robbery, at the
same time naming Paul and Dave
Neff, who were then serving terms
in the Virginia Penitentiary for
other offenses, as accomplices.
Paul Neff subsequently escaped
from the Virginia prison, and Dave
Neff, upon the expiration of his
term in the Virginia institution, was
brought to Oakland by Sheriff Win
tiers and has since been confined in
the Oakland Jail awaiting trial at
the December Term of the Garrett
County Circuit Court.
While in Jail here Frye made a
model prisoner and was sothoroughly
trusted by the Sheriff and jail atten-
dants that when he was called for by
the Court to receive sentence he was
out in field unattended doing some
farm work. Upon being summoned
to the court room he came in alone.

much-needed drenching. The storm
is said to have started over the
Cape Sable country yesterday af-
ternoOn, travelling rapidly north
ward up middle Florida. Those who
went to Orlando to the baseball
game reported last night that there
was much hail and a genuine sum

SHOWERS BROUGHT RELIEF
TO THE MUCH OVERWORKED

A general chorus of thanksgiving

Melon growers who have late crop
also saw visions of better melons.
But possibly the most pleased of all
was superintendent JOS. Johnson of
the Lakeland water and light plant.
The dry weather had caused an I'M
usual demand on the resources of the
city in supplying sufficient water &c
meet the requirements. In fact it had
been next to impossible to keep the
tank anyway near filled and some
days the water level was close to the
zero mark. With the coming of show
ers all this has changed. Lawn taps
have been shut off, Gods gracious
rain doing more for flowers and grass
than mans poor efforts. Naturally
the city authorities are anxious to see
more rain that the waterworks de-
partment may not be Overburdened
