wasted in the fields this time offers the greatest of
opportunities along this line
ARKANSAS ROYALTY is planning on installing its
frs. equipment capable of handling four million feet
daily
One thousand feet of natural gas will make about
four gallons of gasoline.
A conservative estimate would place the net profit
at ten cents per gallon, approximately 600 per cent

THE clock strikes II. Horns blow.
Home brewers pop corks. Anoth-
er year ends, fades into eternity.
Enter, 1922.
Old 1921 was bad year for the
average pocketbook. There have been
worse years, but taking it by-and-
large, there will be few mourners as
1921 totters off the stage
The new year, 1922, is a promis-
ing one. Prospects are that business
will continue improving. The world
is saner, getting its balance restored,
recovering from the war.
What does the new year mean to
you personally?
For one thing, it means that you
are a year older.
Business houses are taking inven-
tory of goods on hand, checking up
their books, finding out what was ac-
complished, what not, in 1921.
Why not take an inventory of
yourself? Was it good year, or a
bad one, for you? Did you make
progress, slip back or stand still?
How does your lot compare with Jan
uary /, 1921? What mistakes did
you make-what errors of judgment
that can be avoided during 1922?
On the answers to these questions,
base your New Year resolutions.
Let the birth of the new year be
a re-birth of your ambitions, hopes
and the finer emotions that make
life worth while.
