BOOSTS
WESTERN SHALE

Arthur L. Pearce, distinguished au-
thority on oil and geologist of inter
national reputation, has written for tn.
Denver & Rio Grande Red Book for De.
cember an interesting and instructive
article on the distillation of oil from
shale, says the Denver Tines of De
cember I. 1t is of particular import.
ancc at this time when the development
Of the western slope shaie fields is in
the beginning.
Mr.. Pearce says the life of the pros
pective petroleum production of the
United States is only % years and that
shale must be looked to for production.
In his article he points out that oil was
obtained from shaIe as early as 1917
and the industry has grown till more
than 100000 tons of shale are treat
every year in Scotland alone, the pro
duets from which include burning oils,
lubrlcating and gas oil $4,000, coo
gallons, naphtha (5,OOO,OOO gallons)
I''"iiih NhS l-o,oVU loHSl. ms ina Is
try has been profitable notwithstand
ing the fact that the shale had to be
mined under similar conditions to coal
and that the price obtained was very
low not only for different crude oils
produced, but sulphate of ammonia
rarely brought over 3 cents a pound.
Mr.. Pearse declares that the best
known potential shalc beds in the
United States are in Colorado: that
they can be cheaply proved and mined
and the average contents are high, He
says that while these beds will run 4t
gallons of oil to the ton as fair ave,
age, they could run 90 gallons to the
ton and Still be profitable. Tn select
ing shale, he says, the nitrogen con
tents must be taken into considera tior
as every l per cent of nitrogen car
yield 65 per cent of sulphate of am
monia worth cents pound. Eight
cen gallons of oil to the ton in Scot
land is paying handsome profits, ht

Nagin Convicted Of Receiving
Stolen Goods. ...Paine on
Trial For Like Offense
NO END IS IN SIGHT

At 2:l0 last Tuesday the case of the
People vs. Joe Nagin, charged with
receiving stolen goods, knowing the
same to have been stolen, was given
to jury in the district court and
about five O'Clock the jury returned q
verdict of guilty on the first count.
This was the case in which Nagln
was alleged to have purchased junk
and also several cases of canned goods
consigned to J. C. Gudgel for the cou-
Wet road camp. Crofut and Castner,
having already been convicted of
similar offense, could not be used as
witnesses against the defendant, hu
enough evidence was presented through
Mcdonald and Taylor, the two con
victs, the manager of the j. s. Brown
Mercantile company at Grand Junction,
the manager of the Mt. States Tele-
phone company at Colorado Springs,
Ira Weidman, an operative of the
Leonard DeLue Detective agency IF
Denver, and others to weave a very
strong web about Nagin from which
attorneys were unable to extricate him.
Judge Noonan, on behalf of the de.
fendant, excepted to the verdict and
asked for twenty days ins which. 10
file a motion for new trial, and his
|nWest was granted.

trouble was had in securing a jury.
Mr.. Paine is popular young business
man of Glenwood and many who were
called to serve as jurors admitted
personal friendship for him which nm
der the law disqualified them from
jury service in his case.
The information against Mr.. Paine
is very severe and charges him with a
very serious offense, that of receiving
stolen goods and purchasing goods
from Mcdonald at less than their value
when he well knew that the goods were
ordered for the Garfield county road
camp. At least that is the case Dis
trict Attorney Delaney is trying TO
make against him, and it must be a1.
mitted that some of the evidence thus
far brought out looks very bad for
Mr.. Paine. but of course one never
can tell what view jury will take of
such matters.
Mr., Paine is on the stand in his own
behalf as the Post goes to press ana
he has many friends who hope he Will
be able to exonerate himself. He IS
being defended by c. w. Darrow- of
this city.
In this case as well as the two #
similar nature which have preceded it
he most of the evidence was unearthed
| by Ira Weidman, a detective from the
Leonard DeLuc agency of Denver.

by friends and admirers who had no.
seen him for many months and who
throughout the evening listened with
intense interest to the message he ha /
brought them.
Beginning with the departure from
New York harbor, Mr.. Taylor's ad
tress was given in chronological Sc
Tuence, including many interesting and
amusing incidents OF the voyage, the
safe landing on the other side, the L.
ception and official recognition to tine
PARTY by the house of parliament, the
trip to Windsor castle and several 9th
er points of interest, including an off,
cial banquet at which Lord George
was the principal speaker; also .he
trip to France and like official recog
milton by the French government, an
after this the trip to the battle front
where the party took careful note OF
the field activities, and it was during
the recital of his experience in this
territory that Mr.. raj Ior held the
closest attention of his large audience
Explaining the trench program the
use of steel helmets, the periscope and
lie style Of guns used in the lighting
at the front, Mr.. Taylor illustrated his
remarks by the use Of maps and then
took from the satchel field helmet
a gas mask, periscope and shell
from one of the three-inch cartridges
used in the machine guns. The audi
ence was much interested in these
things and in the description of the
use.
Mr.. Taylor told of many of the afro
cities praeticed by our brutal enemies
many of which he said could not be
described in mixed audience, He
did not paint a rosy picture as to the
outlook, but made it very plain that
it is anything but a Sunday school
picnic with which we are confronted
but he said there was only one way out
Of II and that was that it was incu,n.
bent ON the American people to fight
the devilish kaiser with fire. This re-
mark brought great applause from the
audience and made IL very plain to
Mr.. Taylor that he was TALKING to q
crowd Of patriots.
When asked concerning the U.boAt
situation. Mr.. Taylor admitted that
the U.boat was still seriouy menace
but said that some progress had been
made In combating these dreadful
underssa enemies.

Have you learned the newest word
"camouflage?" Pronounce it "cam- 90.
flazh, with the first ga" short and the
last one broad. It has several mean
inGs, most Of them slang, but it is gen.
orally accepted as meaning a makeup
or disguise. Our French brethren ,called 4
eamouheurs, are just as expert in the
art as we are in the use of the new
word. They cover the railroad tracks
with sod, surround their big guns with
branches Of trees, paint the ambulancss
30 they blend with the landscape, ETC.,
making them invisible to the German
aviators. @

REPUBLIC TRUCK
 DEALERS CONVENE
 AT ALMA, MICH.

General Sales Manager, NJ. A Holmes of the Republic Motor Truck company, Inc, brought together 200 Republic dealers at the factory in Al ma, Mic, during the week of July 16-21.
 It was the first of d series of deal CTS conventions which the company mas planned to hid. With more than 500 dealers, covering every state. it was deemed better to hold the meetings in sections, rather than to make one big national convention. In the small CT gatherings the sales organization, has better opportunity to become ac- quainted there is more opportunity for general participation in the discus sion.
 Judging by the success of the first, the Republic has stirring times ahead in these get t-togethers" Enthusiasm of the good off fashined spontaneous kind ruled the affair from the coming of the advance guard on Sunday to the departure of the last visitor Territo- ial divisions were not observed in this tirst meetink. The visitors came from the Atlantic and Pacific coasts. from Louisiana and Texas as well as Illinois and Michigan. The Republic factory representative from Australia and New Zealand, ".

N TEXT to buying home, car Is perhaps the largest purchase you'll ever make. It involves V real money. It ought to be correspondingly considered
 Certainly s75O to s125O IS too big sum to spend just on some friends recommendation or some sales mans talk. Look at 1t investment. Think of next week, next month, next year.
 Think whether you going to climb out of the week from tired and cramped because 1t too small for touring whether you going be able to take few friends trip and have them comfortabe-whether the will stand for years of hard service and ALWAYS be ready for and you should desire resell trade will have the least possible depreciation from its original price,
 Think of the future = think of the way you would buy your you wouldn't let few dollars stand between you and perfect satisfaction then decide whether 1t true economy buy that you will find lacks the tlals of motoring satisfaction
 When you buy such you may little money the original price, but you mast make sacrifices

 A stock Quad two-ton truck loaded with 4,O00 pounds of pig iron and pi- loted by O. A. Eskuche of the Nash truck engineering department was then driven up to the lumber pile until the two front wheels barely touched the uprights Speeding up the motor and slowly engaging the clutch MT. Esk- uche started the big truck on its steep climb and with a roaring motor the Quad crept to the top of the pile. On reaching the top the truck was locked by the brakes which apply their power to all four wheels.
 Many regular army officers who wit messed the demonstration declared it to be one of the most spectacular per formances they had ever seen. MT. EsSuche who has probably seen more actual warfere than any other truck engineer in this country, having spent several months in France, Russia and England, supervising the installation of Quad trucks furnished these gov ernments for military purposes, merely smiled and said that this was nothing when compared with some of the prob lems this truck has solved successfully on European battle fronts.
 To the hundreds of G. A. Fl veterans
 who sheudered rifles for Uncle Sam
 in the civil war days when the pack
 mile represented the last word in i transportation, the Quads performance was a great revelation.
 This same Quad truck built by the 1 Nash Motors company is now being l furnishel in large quantities to the various branches of the United States war department and although the Nash l Motors company refuses to state just to what extent they have been favored with government orders, it is knowr l that the great Nash plant is busy day and night trying to turn out enough units to meet present day military
 needs for this truck.

SUPER-S|X WINS
 IN GRADE RACE

Apparently there are still people who believe the Hudson Super Six can be beaten. For every now and then some one turns up and dares the Super Six to race. The results are monotonously the same-the Super Six wins.
 The T. C. Power Motor Car company of Helena, Montana. send in the latest account of one of these road despera- does trying to lift the Hudson laurels The, car opposed to the Hudson Super Six was of 90 h. D. According to the account:
 The race was staged from the center of the City of Boulder Montana, to the top of Boulder Hill 20 per cent grade), to point nine miles from Boulder and return. J. Stanley Smith drove the car opposed to the Hudson. The racers started on the gun from the center of the city and raced along the road over Boulder Hill, one of the most danger ous roads in the state for fast driv- ing The Hudson ran away from the other car and led the race all the way

Perhaps it was John Burroughs or Rudyard Kipling, perhaps it was FL bert Hubbard who spoke of getting where one could hear the heart of nature beat as the ideal place to spend a vacation.
 Whoever said it was a mighty wise man according to the most eminent neurologists.
 For getting back to nature" is the surest cure for a jaded appetite and ragged nerves.
 Formerly the getting back" meant discomfort-one listened to the babling brook and the malicious mosquito at the same time.-and forsook a com fortable bed for a lumpy piece of ground where every blade of grass was like .porcupine quill.
 But now the up-to-datc nature hunter goes in his car
 MT. R. c. Greth, Studebaker dealer, tells how to do it.
 "A Studebaker car" he tells us,
 can be made up just like any Pull man.
 The rear scat is 4S in. wide, just a little narrower than the regula ation double bed Lift up the removable front seats, turn them around so that their backs are to the front, pull the back, cushion forward and drop. it down in the tonneau and you have an ideal bed foundation. Then blanket or two and pillows are all you need to make two people thoroughly com fortable.
 'The Stakeholder top with its Jiffy type storm curtains is much more satisfactory than the average tent, and. in the car there's no danger of a miniature flood wetting everything and your having to dress with your feet in a puddle of water.

F|RESTONE TIRE
 HOLDS UP UNDER
 HARD CONDITIONS

Tt was a red-l letter day for Fire stone tires, Friday, July 20, when three worlds records were broken by motorcyclists riding machines equipped with F'irestone tires, says Ed Rudolph, local Firestone dealer.
 On that day. Roy Artley, finished his three-flag run from Canada to Mexico in 72 hours, 25 minutes, actual time in the saddle, clipping hours and 90 minutes from the record held by "Cannonball" Baker. The trip was made from Blaine Washington, on the Canadian border, to Tia Juana, on the Mexican border. A bad cut forced him to change the rear tire near Portland, Oregon. Artley de- clared his Firestone tires were largely responsible for bis success. Here is what he said at the finish of the run: T did not lose confi- dence in those tires for a minute. They had to stand cruel abuse as some of the roads in northern Ore gon were the worst I have ever had to contend with. Every important record I have ever made has been on Firestone tires"
 Two other records were broken the same day at Sheepshead Bay, Long Island. Leslie Parkhurst, in a 24- hour run covered 1452 3-4 miles, beating the former record of 1882 which was also held by Cannon balr' Baker The first five hundred miles was run in hours and ao minutes and the first thousand in li hours and 8 minutes.
 Otto Walker, following him with cide ear and passenger covered 115S 3-4 miles in the twenty -four hours. Both machines rode on Fire stone tires.
