Ai; KM DR, JOH\ n-310/7 MoPT wrought by German piWpaganda is every part of the Rusalaa'Emptre. it ought to be the bualnesa'of�he Allies to provide the antidote for t is pois- on. Counter -propaganda in Russia la as imperatively r war necesaliy as the strengthening of the armies on the West front. In this hour of Russia's need and probation the Allies ought net withdraw the hand of brother- hood, bot ought to maintain a toler- ant attitude toward excesses and ex- travagances produced by the first in- toxicating draught of freedom. These are reactions from a despotism to which she will nester return.

He predicts that she will ' reveal idealistic powers that will astonish the world.

WORLD'S RCSBW:R RIPPLY. • 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 World. Dragged on Chitin to (loom.

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.
