Auto Tires will Cost More

| NJ - a.
The effects OF the European war
is already being felt by auto owners
in the United States, and the chances
are that there is going to be big
advance in the price of tires. The
owner Of car who is supplied with
new castings for his car for the next
year. is a lucky dog. Many of the
manufacturers of auto castings have
already made a sharp advance in
price and intimate that unless the
situation is soon cleared up that fur
ther advances will follow. The fol-
lowing trade note shows the condi-
ton of the rubber market:
A threatened famine in rubber, the
supply of which is said to be scarcely
large enough for the demands of the
next three months, brought the
American automobile owner face to
face with a new problem to-day,
when he learned of an appreciable
increase in the cost of tires and
tubes.
An advance of nearly 20 per cent
in the cost of crude rubber has
forced the manufacturer and dealer
to raise the price of his product to
an extent amounting to from 121a
to 20 per cent.
"The increase in the price of crude
gum during the last few days
amounts to about 20 per cent said
John w. Mcguire, manager of the
Republic Rubber Company. Some
of the manufacturers have increased
the price of their product as much
as 20 per cent, others but 12k per
cent Several factories virtually
have had to shut down as result of
the impending rubber famine, caused
by the war cutting New York off
from South America, Africa and
Ceylon.
E. P. Rowen, manager of the B. F.
Goodrich Company, took similar
view of the situation
"Some concerns dealing in manu-
featured rubber products have not
increased their prices as fully as the
occasion warrants, in the hope that
the rubber market may be relieved
of it's present tense situation and
that no further increases will be nee
essary. The importations of the wild
gum from Africa and South America
and the cultivated gum from the
plantations of Ceylon have been held
up by the war"
F. S. Loffbourrow, in chargefof the
Chicago office of the Federal Rubber
Manufacturing Company, asserted
that England holds the key to the
rubber situation.
There probably is not three
months supply of crude rubber left
in the United States," he said. Eng
land has always controlled the rubber
market, and while she is at war there
will be but little activity in and no
importing of that product

Sunday School $3.50. ...9:45 a. IN.
Preaching service .... 11:00 a. m.
The Sunday School, Sabbath morn
ing, appreciated the surprise which
came in the form of a violin solo by
John Gates.
The Rev. JOIN Wiison.fof Garden
Grove attended the morning worship,
Sabbath, and officiated al moderator
of the congregational meeting, which
resulted in officially extending a pas
toral call to Rev. Mr.. Jacobs. The
installation service will be arranged
by the Presbytery OF Des Moines
when it meets at Perry, September
the 8th.
The Young Peoples meetings con-
tinue to increase in interest and at
tendance. Tho devotional service,
Sunday evening, was followed by the
installation of the following officers:
Miss Lillian Pullin, president; Miss
Lois Ackerley, vice-president; Miss
Grace Wallace, corresponding secre-
tary; Miss Edith Follmer, Recording
Secretary and Mr.. John Gates, Treas
urer. The society favored the sug-
gestiOn for a union service by the
young people, and Miss Pullin was
chosen to act with representatives
from the other societies in arrang-
ing for such service.
Owing to the Chautauqua this
week, there will be no choir practice
Thursday evening or Young Peoples
meeting next Sunday evening; also
there will be no union service Sunday
evening. Further announcements
will probably be, made from the Chau-
tauqua platform.

Bad Fire at Tuskeega.

Sunday night the store and stock
of merchandise belonging to J.. De-
Bolt and the depot at Tuskeega
burned to the ground. When the fire
was discovered the DeBolt store was
so far gone there was no chance to
save it or any of the contents. Mr..
DeBolt carried insurance for about
half the amount of his stock. The
origin of the fire is mystery, as
Mr.. and Mrs. DeBolt were away
from home and had been away all
day Sunday. There was quite little
wind from the north and the depot
caught fire from flying embers. This
is quite a severe loss to Mr.. DeBolt.
At this time he has not decided
whether he will rebuild.-Lamoni

The price of The News, Daily and

NEW REGULATIONS ABOUT
PENSIONS.
Hereafter Numbers on Checks Must
be Verified Before Same Can
BE Delivered to Old
soldiers.

A new mode of proceeding in the
matter of getting pension checks is
being adopted by the bureau and the
postOff1ce department. The new sys-
tenn is in force now and the first of
the vouchers to be delivered under
this system will be taken out this
week, from the local office.
The pension vouchers are placed in
official envelopes which contain a
window for. the address and the pen
sion number. Before this envelope
can be delivered to the person to
must first show to the carrier or
clerk the number on his pension
which should correspond to the num-
Der displayed in the envelope win
dow He can then claim the check,
otherwise not.
This is in accordance with the new
ruling which is plainly printed on the
envelope in which the check is con-
tanned 1t practically means that per-
sons who are expecting pension pa
pers should stay at home at the time
the pension checks should come.
The department suggests that those
who are expecting pension envelopes
should remain at home in order that
they may declare the number OF
their pension to the carrier that he
may compare it with the number in
the window
Another ruling which must be OBJ
served is that the pension vouchers
cannot be forwarded now. This is
something that the local postoffice Of
ficals wish to call attention to. In
case of temporary absence from the
city the pension money can be held
but it cannot be forwarded under the
new rulings.
Old soldiers and soldiers widows
who are expecting their pension
checks this month, and from now on
should bear in mind these changes in
the method of receiving their money.

THIN BLOOD CAUSES BACKACHE

Every muscle in the body needs sup.
ply of rich, red blood in proportion to
ME work it does.
The muscles of the back are under
heavy strain and have but little rest.
When the blood is thin they lack nourish.
ment and rebel. The result is SEN
sation of pain in those muscles.
The best medical authorities agree that
backache seldom or never means kidney
trouble. Real organic kidney disease
may have progressed to a critical point
without developing pain in the back,
Doctors detect its presence by the excre-
tons OF the kidneys themselves.
Pains in the back should always lead
the sufferer to look to the condition OF
the blood 1t will be found in most cases
that the use OF DIR. Williams Pink Pills
to build up the blood will stop the
grumbling OF the ill-nourished muscles OF
the back. How much better it is to
try Df. Williams Pink Pills for the
blood than to give way to unreasonable
alarm about your kidneys. If you sus-
pect your kidneys, any doctor can make
tests in ten minutes that will set your
fears at rest or tell you the worst.
All druggists sell DR.. Williams Pink
Pills. A free book, Building Up the
Blood" will be sent on request by the
