]. II. Ginet, president of the Ginet
Shale Education Process. declared at
Gunnison that nine out of ten citizens
OF Colorado are ignorant of the great
strides, that have been made in the re-
duction of shale within recent years.
III the possibilities of the industry
were fully realized" he said, The
whole state would unite in investigat-
ing and backing it. Strange as II may
seem, while looking for and making
gambling investments in other states,
Coloradoans are overlooking opportu-
mites right here at home that give
dollar invested.
"Therr is popular impression
abroad. that the cost of reduction of
shale makes it prohibitiye--that tho
shale deposits merely offer possibil-
ty of producing oil when the country's
wells have been exhausted.
'On the contrary" he asserted, I'VE
have proved in our Monarch plant near
De Beque that even under present
conditions shale oil can be produced
In unlimited quantities for SLAP bar
rel. When we have pipe lines and
other facilities, the cost of production
OF shale oil will be less than 81 to the
barrel. Moreover, shale oil, being man
ufactured under conditions which ws
control, instead of the hit-or-miss
method of nature, is of better quality
than petroleum Oil"
Ginet declared that the wealth of
Colorado in shale deposits is stupen-
dous, and that it is all readily avail
able. In Colorado and Utah alone, he
said, there are $500 square miles, or
Approximately 100000 acres, of shale
deposits, which average more than fifty
feet in depth. There are not less than
100000 900, 900 barrels in the two states.

STOP FINDING
WORK FOR men


Tno moline community council
will find employment for no moro
mon SITTER July / unless funds for
the expense Of these activities arc
on hand, according 70 the announce
ment Of w. H. Breed, In charge Of
the employment work Of the coun-
ell.
Mr.. Breed was Of the opinion that
the work which has been carried
on for the past three months. was
very necessary and should not be
dropped. He stated that there were
many families and heads Of fami-
lies who were still out Of work.
1T is an inopportune time to dis
continue the. employment DEPART
ment," he said this morning, "but
the funds to support its activities
are exhausted. 1t is maintained
separate from other community
council work, and the treasury 10
about empty.
THE department began its work
March II. In three months 600 fam
lilies have been put in = position to
support themselves. About $500
persons have been sent from Moline
to beet fields at Mason City, Iowa,
and Racine, Wis, and to onion
fields near AnnawRn, Ill.
Most Of these families would
have been otherwise . burden to
the community. Many of them were
receiving aid from the police mat
ron at the time when employment
for them was found.
I'VE learned Of openings by send.
ing posters and letters to MN in
81 cities and towns in Illinois and
Iowa. Inquiries are still coming
In for men ard we are sending help
to farmers nearly every day.
"The total cost C the department
has been about $500, and about $3.50
of this was spent in advancing rail-
road fare to men who could moi
raise money to get to their place
Of employment. A large part of that
money will come back to US, but
we will not get 1t before fall. Mean
while the need for this work will
be going on. The number OF per.
sons helped and fed by the city has
decreased greatly since the EN-
ployment bureau started, but there
are many yet to be employed.
"The 800 families that We have
sent out will return to Moline late
! in the fall. They will bring bach
with them a large amount Of money
certainly more than $1,000. Tha,
money will be spent in Moline
1T is hoped that the citizens Of
Moline can enable US to continue
this work, It is not expensive
$225 will cover a months activities
but it can Lot be done for nothing.
