\ SaIe-A Fortune! To Share 1t You Must Act TODAY,

The Hog Greek Carruth Company is going at
full speed all along the line. In the field, at sup
ply depots, in the office, we are forging ahead with
but one idea uppermost in mind:
To get a well-sell it with all our vast holding
and instantly reap the rich fruit of our efforts.
l organized this company to make my sharehold-
ers rich. You share in this well and every foot of
the 2,s12 acres that lie around it. When our well
ceeds of that sale will be paid to my SHAREHOLDER
just as they were at D~esdemona where they result
ed in the gigantic return of $40, 1876 for every 500
invested.
We are going to get that well-if there is any
thing in experience-if statements of the greatest
word of old-time residents of Hunt County are
considered. Veteran oil men say: Hog Creek
you've hit it again?' Biologists say: "Our findings
indicate the presence of petroleum. Old timers in
Hunt County say: We've always believed we had
OIL"
People from every walk in life benefited to the
, 1922-03-04

extent Of S10,135 Tor every $500 from the famous
dividend of the Hog Creek Oil Company. which l
made possible. And / feel now in my heart and
soul that those who join me in THIS present en-
terprise are placing themselves in line to receive a
similar reward.
There will be HUGE profits when we sell our
weil-and every acre of our vast domain-in Hunt
county. And those profits will be paid outsevery
dollar OF them-to the shareholders in The Hog
Creek Carruth Company.
Such profits will do for the shareholders in this
company just what the profit of $40, 1876 for every
500 did for shareholders in the Hog Creek Oil Co.
That famous dividend gave those shareholders a
start in lfe-brought beautiful homes, fine motor
cars, paid debts, bought businesses, and brought
ease and luxury to scores.
A similar dividend will do the same thing for my
shareholders now.
If you expect to profit by the huge reward which
the sale of a well on our gigantic 2,s12-acre Hunt
county domain will bring, then you must become a
shareholder in this company TO-DAY.

Orphans Inherited Fortune

A country doctor living near Desdemona
had $1,000 to invest and he put it into
shares Of the famous Hog Creek Oil Com

him to his grave. They left two little chill
dren-orphans. The children had very lit
tie property aside from their shares Of the
Hog Creek Oil Company stock. But when
Hog Creek Carruth's dream came true
these little children received S121, 500 in
CASH as a result of their fathers wise in
vestment.

Special Cable to THE New YORK HHsALD.

New York Herald Bureau.
Berlin. Jan. 30.
Truly American methods used by
Hugo Herzfeld, who is regarded as the
ablest wire puller on the Berlin Boerse,
led to a steady rise in quotations on
shares in which he was interested last
week. This marked tendency formed an
interesting contrast to the general un-
certainty and uneasiness on the floor of
the Boerse, but which centered chiefly
in the money market.
The sudden fall of the BRAND Govern
ment in France and Premier Poincares
first pronouncement also had the effect
OF Immediately depreciating the mark
and causing the dollar to advance in
this market. However, since then busi-
ness in the money market has reflected
general fndecison. The Boerse Is wait
ing for further political developments
and meanwhile the dollar rate is almost
stationary around 200 marks.
The general nervousness in the money
market was due chiefly to the battle
ever compulsory loan. with Parliament
the CHIEF thcater OF the fight. With
the agreement Friday between the poll
tical parties. the Boerse regaind more
self consciousness, although the time is
TOO short to bring about any marked
reaction.
The scheme to establish a new and
large bank In Berlin which will to a
great extent represent foreign interests
Is interpreted in Boerse circles as a
symptom OF the increasing confidence of
foreign financial circles in tile economic
regeneration OF Germany in spite Of the
new French Governments attitude re-
garding reparation. The name of the
new bank will be the Agrarian Com
merce Bank. Its capital stock will
amount to 100000 marks.
While. according to persistent reports,
DR.. Walter Rathenau, head of the Allie
gemeine Elektricitaets Gessellschaft
may soon become German Foreign Min
lister. the corporation Of which he is the
head is expected shortly to control prac-
tically the entire railway car production
or Germany. In connection with his
corporations plan to enlarge it's field OF
activity. 1t is reported to be negotiating
with one Of the greatest of the German
railway car factories with view to a
transfer of the ownership in the latter
concern to the Linke-Hoffmann Works,
which, in turn, is controlled by the ALL
Gemeine Elektricitaets Gessellschaft
Later the Linke-H Hoffmann Works and
the railway car factory are to be ANAL
gamated with the Elektricitaets In
financial circles here 1t is believed that
this Will lead within a short time to
what will practically amount to a mo-
nopoly of the German railway car In
dustry.

OPTIMISM SHOWN

Lower Interest Rates Not Re.

Work for Some Labor.

The January decline in interest rates
was In line with the initial stages OF

place before the advent Of the Federal

days, follow a period of financial strin-

TO take care of the holiday business of
the nation, the monthly review of the
Federal Reserve Bank of New York
points out.
"In former years." the review sets
forth. "the financial machinery OF the
country was ordinarily put to it's great
est strain for both credit and currency
when crops were being harvested, and
this strain was not relieved until the
currency required in the course of hol-
iday trade returned to the banks. 1t
was then usual for surplus funds to pile
up in banking centers, from which a
large part of the surplus. often largely

ferred to the principal banking centers
and from there to New York" M
The banks review of employment con-
ditions indicates that the customary
increase in idleness at this time of the
year has not taken place.
"The latest reports from the New York
State Department of Labor and other
sources indicate that the number OF
workers employed in this district re-
manned practically constant during the
last three months. A considerable de-
cline in employment is normal at this
time Of the year and the fact that this
seasonal decline was averted indicates
somewhat better employment conditions.
During the last month there were
increases In the number employed In
iron and steel plants, In metal ma

offset by declines In the number en-
ployed In automobile and shipbuilding
plants. In factories that handle food
