Colorado Shale Oil Fields
Are Worlds Richest

this shale contains in this ledge alone
over 10000 barrels Of oil, or 20,S00000
barrels in 100 acres-or S3,2OO,OOO in a
square mile, while above and below this
ledge of shale are 300 feet more OF
solid shales that carry from so to 40
gallons to the ton, making four times
the above amount of oil in each acre.
Considering only the 30-foot ledge and
that three-fourths Of it can be mined,
leaving the balance in place for sup
ports and waste, the crude oil pro-
duced per acre would be worth nearly
5000 600. On that basis the crude from
a square mile, GAO acres, would be
worth S12S, 900, while the refined
product would be valued at several
times that figure"

ENORMOUS EARNINGS

There are only 10000 One Dollar Shares Of
Stock in this Company That means that for
every share of stock you buy you become the
owner Of more than $50 barrels of OIL. With
a profit of only IS barrel, that means more
than $3.50 for every dollar you invest. All that
remains to be done to start these enormous
earnings for you is the completion of plant,
which your money will help build in record
time if you invest with US now.

THE ILLEGITIMATE BABY'S

Washington. - The rights of lie
Ultimate children and the States re-
sponsibility for seeing that every
child, no matter what his parentage,
has the nature protection and edu-
cation essential to his usefulness as
a citizen are for the first time given
complete national recognition in the
Norwegian laws concerning illigiti-
mate children, according to a report
issued today by the Children's Bureau
of the U. S. Department of Labor.
These laws make the State instead
of the mother responsible 70 resta-
blishing paternity. The State holds
both parents equally and continuously
responsible for the illegitimate child
THE child shall be entitled to brin-
ging up-maintenance, training, and
education-from both its father and
its mother" The report contains a
translation of the several Norwegian
laws, with amendments, on illegiti-
mate children and their care. A
history of the efforts through which
the legislation was secured is given
in the introduction.
The attitude which looks upon il
legitimacy as a ehild-welfare problem
that must be solved for thu sake of
the child and OF the State is exempli-
fled by this Norwegian legislation
In connection with its studies Of the
bearing of the war upon child welfare
the Children's Bureau examined the
evidence obtainable but could not
find that it justified the statements

tage of the training you have received
in the army you can make your in

l urge you to return to the south,

independent. You can bring about
changes of many things in the south
which are now distasteful to the race
if you will only keep up the ambition,
industry and effectiveness to duty
which you have shown while in the
army. You did not actually engage
in battle in this war, but you helped
win the victory just the same"

ever, that the needs of the illegitimate

THE FIFTH LIBERTY LOAN

American Marines and Soldiers
held for three mortal days on the
Nsrne at Chateau Thierry against
the picked troops of the Germany
amy. Did they quit the moment the
German turned back and tried to find
place to dig in? No they did not
Tbev went right on fighting the Ger
nan rear guard. They drove them
until the retreat turned into a des-
Derate rout. And they kept right on
hasing them, first at one point and
men at another until they bad clean
d them out of the valley of the
[euse and the forest of Argonne, and
he town of Sedan. Then came the
German surrender-the most abject
and rushing fall in all the annals of
warfare.
In plain language, the American
troops operated on the good American
rules of the game: Keep your yes
on the ball. Follow through. Play
the game right and play it to the
finish" Of course, they won. They
couldn't lose, playing the tragic game
Of war that way.
Now there is a parallel calling for
the same method of play.
The America Expeditionary Forces
vent abroad to fight, to be wounded,
to be killed, if necessary-fully deter
mined to carry out their pledge of
Victory.
What was the direct pledge of the
American people to those men? The
contract was not all on the shoulders
Of the troops. The nation had to take
one side of the contract The Ameri-
can people assumed the solemn obi
cation to back up the fighters with
money, arms, supplies, medical, moral
and social maintenance.
The Army in France took a con-
tract to fight.
The Army at-home took contract
to pay the bills.
The Fighting Americans have made
good on their contract.
Now it is up to the people at home
to pay the bills.
That is why the Treasury is sell
ing Anticipation Certificates cover

Meantime, they must be fed and kept

way.

Farms, Is Advice of Col Young
Camp Grant, Ill. - Col. Charles
Young, assigned here with the deve-
lopment battalions and the only Co
lored officer of his rank in the re-
gular army, delivered message to-
day to the Negro soldiers of the S12th
infantry who are about to be mus
tered out of the service, which he
hopes will leave a lasting impression
and make their military training of
advantage to them in civil life. Col.
Young emphasized the fact that he
is interested in the future of the Co
lored race and he pointed out to the
Negro soldiers the advantages they
hold over their fellow men of the
race because of their training in the
army. He urged them always to bear
the highest respect toward women of
the white race, as well as their own,
and die if necessary for their honor
the same as they would die on the
battle field in defence of their coun-
try.
Ii is Farewell Celebration
The occasion was a farewell cele-
bration to his men arranged at the
Y.M. A. auditorium by Col. Fred
V. S. Chamberlain, commander Of the
regiment. Col. Chamberlain had
started with his regiment to France
but only reached the point of embar-
kation when the armistice was signed
and he returned here with his COM
mand. The colonel was sorely disap-
pointde, as were his men, because of
the interruption of their schedule,
but they made the best of it and re-
entered Camp Grant with spirits high
and with their celebrated band play
ing my Country IT'S of Thee" Col.
Chamberlain's interest in his men Is
well known and because Of this he
invited Col. Yong to give them a few
words of advice before they should
again go back to civil life. A great
many of the men are from the south,
and Col. Young advised them to re-
turn there and take a leading part in
the future of that portion of the
United States which he said was their

WOUNDS FAIL TO BLOT OUT
NATIVE SENSE OF HUMOR.

NATIVE SENSE OF HUMOR.
Two more stories have come to me
to prove that our CoIored soldiers
preserve and radiate their humor
even where shells and shrapnel fly
thickest. A Colored soldier slightly
wounded in the Argonne fighting
and let me assure my readers there
was "some" fighting there,-sat down
beside the road to wait for a chance
to ride to the field hospital. A COM
rade fastening forward to his place
in the line, and anxious for the latest
news of the progressing battle, asked
the wounded brother if he had been
in the fight; did he know all about
it, and how were things going at the
front. u sure does know all about
it," the wounded man replied. well,
what's happened to them?" quickly
asked the trooper on his way to the
front. well, it was this way, re
piled the Wounded fellow, 81 was
climbin over some barber wire tryin'
to get to them d--n boches, and they
shut me; that's what a know about
it."
A company water cart was follow
ing the advancing troop when Ger
man shell burst in the ditch almost
beside the cart. The horse on the
shell side was killed, and the driver
was wounded in the head. While the
blood ran freely from his wound
down his face, the driver took one
look at the wreckage, then started
stumbling back along the road. A
white lieutenant who had seen it all
stopped the driver of the cart, and
said:
THE dressing station is"
Before he could finish his sentence,
the wounded driver, with the blood
flowing in rivulets down his face,
said: Dressing station hell! I'm
looking for another horse to hitch
to that cart to take the place of the
one that shell put out of commission"
That was a bit of nerve, grim
humor. and evidence of fidelity to
duty.A mere wound in the head could
not stop this driver from keeping up
with the troops with a needed supply
of water.
