No Official Backing

Are the churches of Penns Grove
officially connected with the Taber-
nacIe Campaign held at Carney Point
beginning next Sunday night? Answer
The Reason: At a representative
committee meeting of all the churches
of Penns Grove the following motion
was unanimously adopted; =
Resolved, that we, the representa-
tives of Penns Grove churches. having
heard that certain statements or repre-
sensations conveyed the idea that our
churches were officially at the read or
assisting in the management of the
Carney Point Tabernacle Campaign, do
hereby declare that it is our judgment
that such a campaign is unwise and un-
warranted at this time, because of the
for III. M. G. A., Red Cross and various
war calls. Further, because
there are two churches in the Village
besides the four in Penns Grove. all of
which are trying their utmost to win
souls for Jesus Christ.
If Such a campaign were really need
ed, the Camp Meeting Tabernacle
could have been obtained without such
there has been one such campaign con-
Quoted this year. in Penns Grove.
Also do we firmly declare hat as
churches and individuals we are in no
dependent work, knowing full well
that if this work be of man it will
come to naught, bNt if it is of God, We
cannot overthrow it." Acts 5:38.

In the second half the Alumni got
their line plunging machine working

blew they had the bah on the High
Schools five yard line. It then came
j. Summerllfs turn tt take the ball
ver for the first score.
The High School now resorted to
the open plays not being able to gain
through the Alumni's stone wall line.
This proved a failue because Of the
wet ball and one went sailing toward
Engler instead of Dolbow and he q
forty yards for the second touchdown.
Agin the forwards were tried and this
time j. SummerilI caught it and tore
his way through a broken field for 4
thirty yard dash and a touchdown
ln<the last quarter the High School
strengthened and with short passes
and some plunging by DoIbow they
had the ball on the opponents thirty
only to be thrown back On the forty
the High Schol was forced to kick. but
it was blocked and Miller gathered IN
the ball and with a clear field went
for the last touchdown.

ADJUSTMENTS


Tonight, Friday, the Broad Theatre
management presents a great and
popular play, entitled "The Marriage
Question" which they claim is shock
ing but not immoral in n sense. It
Is not a moving picture, but a play
performed by a complete company. It
answers all questions relating to mar
rage, and you may learn something
by seeing it. Don't forget that it IS
shown this friday evening at the
Broad. -
Nothing But The Truth"
is the title OF a farce that will be seen
at the Broad Theatre, Monday night.
December Sd.
We are told in youth that telling
the u~nvarnished truth often leads to
serious consequences. Not so in this
farce, which is based on Truth and
Truth alone, the telling of which up
sets and complexities domestic rela-
tons and involves the several charac-
tiers in complications which are ANY,
thing but serious. In fact there is
not a serious moment in the play. 1t
begins with a litter that swells into
a laugh and grows into shrieks of
mirth as an audience laughs its way
through over two hours, only to ioin
the general verdict at the final cur
tain Its the funniest play l ever
saw Its action is rapid and snap
Ply; its lines are clean, bright and
witty and the complications of the
scene and situations are excruciating-
~ laughable. 1t comes to us, COM
mended by laughter wherever it has
been seen, and the company we will
e Is said to be of the top notch

TO DEVELOP OIL
SHALE INDUSTRY

AL A. Fefelle, vice president of the
American Shale Refining Co., of Den
yer, was in DeBeque last Monday and
Tuesday on an inspection trip and was
more than pleased with the outlook
for the oil shale industry hereabouts.
He will return in the near future and
purchase him couple of lots and erect
thereon substantial dwelling house to
live in. He does not know just where
he will build, but has several sites in
mind. Mr.Fefelle, who succeeds NJ. B.
Rapp as vice president of the shale
company, gave it out that his company
would spend 100000 in DeBeque and
would have the refining plant up and
going inside of s months. This is good
news to the citizens Of the town as the
first step toward building up our little
burg and it means monthly payroll
Of from $1,000 to $4,000 and the en-
ployment Of 200 to 300 men to start
with. This amount. will be distributed
among the business men, firms and 9th
ers residing here.-DeBeque New Era.

DeBeque, Sept. 15.-There was an

pany, the location previously censid-
cred being 20 acres for which its own

count Of the excessive cost.
The company officials together with
the directors Of the Chamber Of Corn
merce agreed upon 4 location further

ing is not feasible as soon as the beans
are cured.
With pintos the danger of discolora-
tion is much less, but they run the same
danger of loss from shattering if al
lowed to get too ripe. Consequently,
pintos should be harvested when the
pods are yellow and the beans are
plump and hard. This can be deter
mined by breaking open and examining
the pods. If the pods are allowed to
get hard and dry, great many beans
will be, lost by shattering in handling
When harvested as directed, the
beans will ripen up and cure properly
in the shock. When cured they may
be thrashed or stacked, although in our
dry climate many beans are left in the
field for. some weeks waiting for the
thrasher SO as to thrash out of the
shock. The risk with pintos in this
practice is not so great as with navies,
but there is always some risk when the
beans are allowed to stay in the field.
With beans at a high price, it is usual
ly profitable to stack, except in those
cases when the thrasher may be obtain.

commended for their enterprise and,
while they have taken heavy burden
on their shoulders in agreeing to raise
this sum, they nevertheless believe that
the securing of this plant for the west
ern slope will mean so much in the
development of the oil shale industry
as to justify the business men of Mesa
county generally in helping them. to
the undertaking.
The American Shale Refining COM
pany have rented two more houses for
use of that company and the Book Cliff
Oil Shale company and are having
them fitted up and furnished. They
have also purchased 10 motor trucks
which are now on the way and in all
probability will erect garage for their
accommodation.
Matters have progressed so rapidly
that it will not be many weeks until
the eduction works of the American
Shale Refining company are in opera
tion. Much work is being done in and
around DeBeque developing the oil
shale and it will be only short time
until hundreds Of more men are put tc
work.

PROPER METHODS IN
HARVESTING BEANS

So many inquiries have come in to
the Agricultural college as to the pro-
per time to harvest beans that the as-
ronomist, Professor Alvin Kezer, was
asked how growers could determine
when the beans were in the right shape
for harvest. Professor Kexer replied:
"Great care must be exercised with
navy beans in harvesting, because Of
their tendency TO discolor. Navies
should be allowed to got fairly ripe.
This can be determined when the ssad
is plump and hard and the pods will
usually be yellow but not yet dry and
brittle. At this stage the vines should
be cut and piled in small shocks to
cure or dry out. Navies are likely to
b diseolored by rains, light SHOWS Or
other moisture. Consequently, It Is the
policy, with beans At high price, to
stack nsvies, making the bottom Of
the staek Of straw, and topping out
