THE TRUTH ABOUT THE WAR

Most people will admit that a char
like President Wilson knows a great
deal more than the common folk re-
garding the cause of the recent war.
That being SO, the following extract
from speech delivered by him at
St. Louis, U.S.A., on September 5th
last year, may be worth reading:
Why, my fellow citizens, is there
any man here, or any woman-Iet me
say is there any child here-who does
not know that the seed of war in the
modern world is commercial and in
dustrial rivalry? The real reason that
the war we have just finished took
place, was that Germany was afraid
her commercial rivals were going to
get the better of her, and the reason
why some nations went into the war
against Germany was that thew
thought Germany would get the com
merclal advantage of them. The seed
of the jealousy, the seed of the deep
seated hatred was hot successful, COM
mercial and industrial rivalry = = 3
The war, in its inception, WAS A
COMMERCIAL AND INDUSTRIAL
WAX. 1t was not a political war;"
So that it was not a war for de-
mocracy" after all!-

HOW THE MANAGERS
CAN COOPERATE
By H. G. Springer, Manager, Coop.
Store, BakersfieId. California.

By II. G. Springer, Manager, Coop.
Store, Bakersfield, California.
Il has been great day here. The
managers of the various cooperative
stores from the West Side (Maricopa,
McKittrick. Taft, and Bakersfield) met
and we had good time talking over
our many problems. After we wound
up, we all came to the conclusion that
we should put our shoulders to the
wheel and put this district over the
top aflying. After a pow-wow, we a.
greed upon a plan to get the best re-
suits. By paying one another visit
occasionally. we will be able to split
up our buying and get the benefit of
the deals that are offered; then we
will split the benefits.
After comparing notes to-day we
ran over the stock in the various stores.
When we found one store to be over
stocked on one article anil another store
to be under-stocked on that article,
we made the necessary trade. In this
way we have been able to fill many
of our needs without extra buying
using simply an exchange.
After | had explained that the store
at Tracy is considerably over-stocked,
the boys all agreed not to buy anything
elsewhere while they could get it from
the Tracy store. All agreed to draw
on the Tracy store until they were un-
able to do so longer.
Maricopa and McKittrick have for
some time been drawing on me. That
will explain why the buying at our
store may seem a bit heavy. But the
stores here-every one of them-are
doing their level best to cut their
stocks down as low as possible. At
the same time, they are trying to slim
ulate as much trade as possible.
To illustrate how we are getting to-
gether, Miller, manager of the Marco
pa store, needed a scale On looking
over the fixtures here, decided that
we could get along with one less. So {
now Miller has a scale and has spent
no money. | needed a cheese cutter,
and Miller had one that he was not US
ing, so got one without spending my
money. Hurdle (MsKittrick) wanted
an auto for delivery to his customers ;
at Fellows, but has no money. Well, /
the auto truck here has been idle for
some time, so Hurdle gets his truck
without spending any money. Then, s
Hurdle in looking over our stock, saw
that he could use lot of the goods =
that | had on hand. So he loaded up {
has truck, is now on his way home with "
stores on the West Side had filled their
a load. and pays no freight and spends
no money. Lamb (Taft) repIenished
some of his stock in the same way.
Before the day was over, all the
wants for the next week without spend
ing any money. Everybody agreed
that it was day well spent, and that
it would not be the last one.

OKLAHOMA AND TEXAS
 IN SUIT FOR OIL FIELDS

Washington, April 11,@0klahoma won in the supreme court today the first big points in her suit with Texas for juFis- diction over valuable Red River oil fields.
 In an opinion which was unanimous, except that Associate Justice Clarke took no part, the court held that the south bank of the Red river must be taken as the true boundary between Texas and Oklahoma from the southeastern corner of the latter state ts the point where the river crosses the Tooth meridian of leH- gitude. More than 1000 miles of bpun- dary were permanently fixed by the de- cision.
 The court based its findings specifically on the terms of the treaty signed in 121e between tl.ef United States and Spain, which "eonsummated- the Louisiana nur- chase" That document, it held, affirming it's own deoisien in the case of the United the river the tTua h. lndaFy. Soon after the suit in equity was insti- tuted by the state of Oklahoma, the at. tention of the supreme court was called to the serious conflicts" which had oe- cured between county officials from hotf ts-des of the river ever disputed juTisdic- tion and between claimants to oil and gas rights under tne laws of the tws states as euTfser tn other claims based 'oI the contention that the oil deposits under
 the river were vested in the fedora government
 Recognizing ''the danger of armed con ! fict" even, the court said, it proceeded [, i appoint fedskal receiver to take chargi of all property within the disputed terri
