It was Iho Bummer of 1921 that Dewey's ambition to advance from tho position ot n small rural settlu mcnt, with ono claim to fame that of being the homo of the Washing tlon county fair began to nssume grent proportions. Slayton nnd Ward nppenred before i tho civic bodlns of Dewey, and afterwards at Hnrtlesvllle, and nalnted beautiful word pictures of tho big plant tho Westmoreland Itubber comprint' would build, of tho great demand for tires, casings and Inner tubes. Slayton declared that the Akron plants could not supply tho demand, ' Jiisy on tho I'olks. He said that Inasmuch as crop conditions had not been tho beat that tho bonus nsked would be re duced to a minimum ot $15,000. This was speedily raised by llartles-ville- nnd Dewey, after Joo Kartlcs, tho showman, gavo a site for tho plant. 42 MEN INDICTED BY HERRIN JURY 12 Counts for Murder Re turned, 58 for Rioting and Conspiracy Hr International Nfwi Rervlcf.
