Finest (:rade is Now (attained From
Cultivated Plantation..
Nature and industrial science have
been closely co-operating during the
last four yearn in one big industry at
least. As a consequence, the price of
rubber has not been increased by the
trend to war -time prices. The re-
verse has been the case. ror 1917
prices were lower than these ot 1913.
This great change has comp a ut
in the rubber -producing business's
1913 as much rubber was produe
from the uncultl•vated forests as
from the plantations. In 1916 we fled
that three times as much was obtain-
ed from aclenti6c.culture as from the
forest.
All rubber plantation sebemes err
assuredly not wildcat ventures. The
finest grade of rubber on the market
to -day tomes from these plantations.
In handling the rubber sap from
the forest, from 16\0 18 per cent. Is
lost, I)rgely on account of Impuri-
ties. fn the earefu11y harvested do-
mestic varieties, the proportion of
loss need not be higher than one per
cont. The plantations and better in-
dustrial methods form a combination
chiefly responsible for the decreased
price. During the past year crude
rubber (ell as low as 40 cents a
pnubd.
This (act is of the greatest import-
ance. It goes without saying, to the
automobile. industry-. _ _ Automobile
tires require the best grades or new
rubber. Scrap rubber is used 1n all
otter braaebes of the rubber meal -
texturing industry. Rubber hose,
wettings, and shoes do not require
the else degree of purity. Pneuma-
tic Urex mast be very elastic. Also
they must be very strong. They have
a terrific and constant pressure to
withstand. Only the lowest grades
of pneumatic tires can be mute from
scrapped material.
Rubber is a medium that is not at
ways consumed by use. 1,11te gold,
It can be melted gad used over again
gad again. Of course It la unlike
gold 1n that 1t does not retain its
origlaal merits, but deteriorates after
each meted sg.
No rubber is ueed in its pure state.
It Is always mired with other chemi-
cals. Rubber obtains strength, lite.
and elasticity from sulphur. Science
has decreed just bow much of this
compound should be added. An over
supply will shorten the life of the
fabric. In the less expensive grades
asphalt gad mineral rubber com-
pounds are adulterants that are add-
ed. This gives bulk.
Some few years ago the rubber
world was electrified by the discovery
of a large supply of mineral rubber
In Utah. Much praise was sounded
of the merits of this "rubber," and,
for a time, there were high hopes
that it would be found to be the long -
sought rubber substitute.
The question of substitutes may
rest for a while now The output
from the plantation Is to be thanked
for this happy condition of affairs
It takes about seven years before
a rubber tree is ready for tapping.
These is no fixed length of life for
the tree. So the time between plant-
ing and bearing is not unduly long.
The best old rubber is that obtain '
ed from Inner tubes and casings. 'As
has been stated, this almost invari-
ably is taken from the crude pro -
duet. The scraps of all sorts bought
up by junk men are sent to factories
to be reclaimed. The quantity ot
rubber used in the pneumatic tire In-
dustry is relatively small compared
that demanded in the rest of the
ru ber trade. It is well that most
Ind tries can make use of the
scrap. Otherwike the day would bpi,
have arrived when the rubber tier
for automobiles would probably rhe a
thing of the past. — Illustrated

The Price of Your
Local Newspaper
Neee•NN•M
The cost of living has nearly doubled during, the est\
fifteen years. Almost everything in common use h
risen in price. Your weekly newspaper has remained a
dollar a year without variation.
The printers and publishers have not escared having to
pay the higher cost of living and publishing.
They pay what others payor the necessaries of life.
Even before the war broke out, the old dollar rate was
known to be unprofitable. It costs at least 11.50 to produce
a good weekly newspaper—this even ,when it has a good
circulation like that of The Signal.
But the war has made the dollar rate 4uite impossible.'
Paper prices have jumped Alarmingly. Init prices have
doubled, trebled, quadrupled. any,colored inks are quite
off the ntarket. Type metal is tikrribly high. And so we
could go on reciting the dismal tale of higher publishing
costs.
What we want to do is to let you see for yourself that
in the face of these things only one thing is left open tons --
it is to raise the price of The Signal to 01.50 ayear.
Your weekly newspaper is rendering this community a
service no city daily can. No daily gives space to local
new.4 and affairs as The Signal does. No city daily pub-
lishes the advertising of local merchants. If you had to
depend solely on a city daily for local news you would cry
out for your local weekly.
On and after January 15th, the new rate of 01.50 will
go into effect. We ask you and all the good people of
Goderich and Huron County to fail in with the new rate
—just because it is an honest price and because you are fair-
minded.
