FORT WORTH, Tex, May 8.-out
OF Mother Earth has come many an
inspiration, but none, unless it be the
newfound gold Of California, has seemed
to affect a state so profoundly as the
recently discovered oil wells have af-
fected Texas and the Southwest. Much
Of the Klondyke rush and speculation
has subsidized, but the steady, substan-
tial growth and development in its
place Is even more inspiring.
There is plenty Of oil here-and good
oil, too-and the search for more is
carried on with feverish enthusiasm
Hundreds Of oil companies have been
formed. Fort Worth Is crowded and
is really enjoying an expansion and
growth commensurate with the size and
value of the new oil projects, Fabu-
lous sums have already been made by
people on whose land oil was discoy-
cred, and many Investments have been
profitable, but the publkc az large,

misled into an abandonment OF the
general principles Of common sense
which should undesly their attitude

Cautions Investors.

SdublOLS uNGSbOTS
There are good companies and bad
companies, and the caution which most
men do not fail to exercise when they
trust their funds to other hands should
by no' means be dispensed with in the
hope OF large profits and quick returns.
Fort Worth has had its period of stock
floating and manipulations. Royalties
of the innocent, who knew nothing of
the ultimate value of their properties,
have been gobbled up by eager capital
lists. Farmers have been farmed and
dry holes galore have been dug. But
only a small percentage OF dry spots
has been found In what is known as
the Ranger and ~Burkburnett areas.
These two have been proven. Forty
other counties claim success and many
Of them undoubtedly are genuine finds.
Time will tell.
The oil fever Is spreading throughout
Texas n is reaching even into New
Mexico, but II seems interesting that

oil has been found In abundance makes

ENsACoIA JoURnAI. SATURDAY MORNING, MARCH 15 1919
MUST HELP YOURSELF


The plea that the allies should not withdraw
from Russia and abandon the country to the Boil
sheviki is answered by . Siberian newspaper
which, with unusual frankness, says that before
Russia cah ask more Of the allies the Russian
people. must show willingness to do something
for themselves.
We have been told many times that the Bolshe-
Wiki are in no sense representative and consti-
tuted but small minority of the population.
Yet the majority seems to be helpless. he ST.
berian paper says:
Perhaps the allies have not taken all the
measures desirable from the Russian point of
view, but before Representing them we must in
fairness ask: What. have the Russian citizens.
especially the intelligentsia, done for their own
interests? Are the citizens ready to sacrefce ev-
en- a share of their own interests for the common
cause? With words they are ready to do every
thing, but they prove nothing by deeds. Even
the privileged class does not participate in the
city elections. Look around! What is going on :?
Cafes are crowded with young men who could
have served the motherland. There is only talk
Of profits Everyone is engaged in speculation.
The majority are engaged in their own affairs
and have no time for the common cause"
Information coming from Russia and Siberia
would indicate that the newspaper quoted has
sized up the situation correctly.
It is difficult, if not impossible. for out
siders to do much for people who will do moth
ing for themselves. And it is true that Russia
has done little.
The trouble seems to be that no real leader
has been developed on the side of law and order
Eventually, such man, or group of men, will
come forward and plan the future of the coun-
try. When that time arrives Russia will not ask
in vain for assistance in bringing order out of
chaos. Until definite plan is formed it would
be folly to sacrifice the lives of allied soldiers
in an effort to restore an orderly condition
which the Russians themselves>are unwilling to
strive for.

many. A Y. NJ. C. A. worker returning
from Coblenz relates in a story of how
doughboys OF the First Division liter
ally turned the tables on a German
cafe owner. While the division was
approaching Coblenz. field kitchens
were outstripped, "Y" camions with
chocolate and candy were left behind
and the soldiers were without sweet
stuff. German innkeepers, protesting
they had no sugar, served saccharine
pellets with coffee set out to Ameri-
cans.
Some soldiers were billeted for a
night in the inn OF such a German and.
as usual. they spread their blankets on
the floor. Lying thus PROSTATE, one
doughboy discovered bags OF some
thing supported by thin wooden strips
concealed beneath the bottoms of the
tables. A bayonet lanced the bag and
out poured a stream of crysal sugar.
The soldiers used their clean, new ex-
ira socks as sacks for carrying the
sugar along on the way to the Rhine.
Revenge was sweet.

PRE-WAR AIMS

Berlin, March 14.-Charges that the
assassination of Archduke Francis
Ferdinand and his wife 1T Sarajevo
on June %. 1914. was the result OF q
deliberate plot led by the late Count
Tisza, former Hungarian premier. are
made in a pamphlet written by q

the archduke, according to q Vienna
dispatch to the Frankfort Gazette. Tho

for the world war;" is said to have
made a profound impression in Aus
tria.
1t is declared Francis repeatedly re-
fused to go to Sarajevo and It was
only when appealed to his courage
that induced him to make the trip.
The most elementary precautions
were omitted" 1t is stated. by the
priest. He was simply led into . trap
prepared by the court at Vienna and
the Hungarian aristocracy. headed by
Count Tisza."
The general idea of the pamphlet is
that Magyar Magnates with the con-
sent of the Vienna court, wished to get
rid OF the duke, who was extremely
disliked and obtain vengeance for the
murder at the expense of the Jugo
Slavs who would be made helpless. 1t
is pointed out that no proper" in
Quiry was ever made into the tragedy
and that no one was made responsible
for the fact that precautionary meas

PRESERVED FRUIT PRICES SOAR.

PRESERVED FRUIT PRICES SOAR.
Export demand Is already strongly reflected in
the increasing prices of dried and canned fruits.
Wholesalers say that efforts to control quota
tions have proved futile and foreign houses are
paying any price asked.
Explanation of the skyward jump is given in
the statement that during the war European
canneries curtailed their output while demand
increased and the foreign stocks are now de-
pleted. The European countries now need canned
goods in great quantities and are turning to
America for their supply. Price will not be a
consideration until the demand is filled and the
American housewife who buys canned goods
must expect to pay more for them than ever be-
fore.
The outlook is not 50 doleful in West Florida

put the year and the necessity for using canned
food is not so great as in the North.
