DIsPLAcEs PNEUMATIC TIRES.
Investigation Of Webster City Jcwele,

Investigation Of Webster City JcweIer
May Rcvolutionize Auto Industry.
Special to Times Republican.
Webster City. Jan. 6.--Adoiph Close,
a iewe!er IN this city, has just in
vented and patented wheel hub,
which may revo.utionize the automo-
bile industry. The Closz hub does
away entirely with pneumatic tires.
The patents in the United States have
been allowed and applications are
pending in all the chief foreign coun-
tries. .e
The hub invented by Mr. Closz
makes a wheel even more resilient
than a wheel encased in an air filed
pneumatic tire. In order, however to
make the closz wheel entirely noise
less. a hard rubber shoe" can be used
on 1t, such as are frequently used on
auto trucks. The invention is the re-
suit OF three years hard work and
much study and experimentation.
1t is easy to see how this wheel will
revolutioniZc the automobile industry.
Pneumatic tires and inner tubes are
expensive and the tire upkeep of the
average auto is more than the upkeep
Of the rest of the car. Inventors have
been working for many years trying
to get a hub that will replace the
pneumatic tire. The problem has been
solved by Dir. Closz. for his invention
makes cars just as noiseless as at
present and far more easier riding.
Mr.. ClosZ has shown his invention
to many experts. all Of whom pro-
nounce it the greatest Improvement
ever made for automobiles.

PLAN NEW BASEBALL PARK.
Ottunwa Fans Enthusiastically Set
About Work Of Raising Funds.

OttumWa, Jan. 6.--BaSebaIl prospects
loom up encouraging here with the
opening Of the new year. At a recent
meeting plans for the year We're en-
thusaS tcally discussed and a conf
dence exists at this time that sue
cessful season will be enjoyed.
1t is being planned to build new
ball park on ground just west of Har-
rows branch in the west end. An
option for fifteen days has been Sc
cured upon this piece of ground and
the baseball boosters are being sounded
to see if the deal can be successfully
swung.
The idea. as set forth by II. l.. Pol
ing, president of the Ottumwa club.
and j. e. Bonham. secretary, is to get
stock subscriptions amounting to
$4,000. OF this $2,100 will be used to
purchase the ground. and the rest to
construct the plant. The stock will
then be incorporated and Il separate
corporation, the Ottumwa Baseball As
sociation formed to lease the plant
from the holding company.

Muscatine, Jan. 6--Baseball Is dead
in Muscatine. Such ia the opinion of
those closest in touch with the stu
aticn and 1t Is exceedingly doubtful II
an effort will be made to retain the
franchise In the Central Association
for another year. Rumors have been
rife and reports persistent that this
city would eschew baseball for a year
at least. There have been reports to
the contrary, but the situation, as
viewed from an impartial standpoint,
is that there is not sufficient interest
in the game to warrant further invest
ment OF money at this time.
Despite high team last
year. the attendance was lamentably
small barely $4,000 paid admissions
being registered by the turnstiles for
the year. As a consequence the local
association sustained a heavy financial
loss. and members of the board OF
directors are asking if it IS reasonable
to expect an increase in patronage in
1917. when the prospects for PEN
nant winning club are less bright.
1t appears that a rest of one year or
more would prove beneficial to Musca :
tine from a standpoint of satisfactory
attendance. Those in a position to
judge feel that Muscatine is surfeited
with baseball. If that is true-and
there is no reason to believe it is not
then it would be the height of folly to
attempt to carry a club thru another
season at, perhaps, a greater financial
loss' than suffered the past season.
At best there is great doubt that
the guarantee money will be posted at
the Cedar Rapids meeting next week.
and it is expected that Muscatine will
lay its franchise on the table and ask
that some other city be admitted to
membership in it's place.

NOVEL HOUSE OF WORSHIP.

Fort Dodge, Jan. ga building Tor
business and church purposes COM
bined is the novel suggestion of Rev.
G. L. Wolfe, of the First Christian
church to the members of the congre-
CATION. The church owns a lot 63NI4O
on t'irsts avenue South and Twelfth
street. The present church building
erected. some time ago at a. cost OF
$4,000 is half finished. With the
present growing membership of the
church this is inadequate. The idea
is to complete the building and devote
the three lower floors for business pur-
poses. Equipped with elevator service
the fourth floor would be satisfactory
for church services. Instead Of hav-
ing a property that would cost the
congregation considerable money for
upkeep the church would have an in
.erest paying investment.
