mated that with the increase in the
price of crude oil the tax derived dur
ing the year 1924 from this source
should considerably exceed one million
dollars. The price of crude oil which
was 40 cents a barrel last year has in
creased since January LIST to S1.00 and
high grade oil from 50 cents to S1.35.
This increase will greatly stimulate
production and the revenue derived
from oil should be between two and
three times as great as the amount re-
ceived in 1923. There will also be
large increase in the number of pro-
ducing wells and an extension of ter
ritOry. Since January list, fifty per-
mits have been issued for new wells,
of which 10 were in Ouachita county,
20 In Union and IL In Columbia and
Nevada counties. The weekly pro-
duction reports are already beginning
to show heavy increases and with the
prospect of other advances In the
price of crude oil, it is expected that
the year 1924 will be one of the most
profitable in the history of Arkansas
oil industry. All Of this means more
money for the public schools, coming
from sources that will be less burden
some to the people than any other.

EVERYMAN'S
INVESTMENTS
By George T. Hughes
T'wenty-fourth Article.
DIVERSIFICATION.

What is called diversification is one
of the most essential conditions of
sound investment. By diversification
Is meant spreading out ones invest
ment funds among securities cover
ing different Industries and different
sections of the country. The idea is
that should developments unfavorably
affect any one industry or any one
section the others would not be in
volved. People who write to me for
advice upon investments continually
declare that they want absolute
safety" Now there is no such thing
as absolute safety. Safety is rela-
tive term. The safest investments
are United States government bonds,
and the factor of safety declines as
you go down the list and as the re-
turn on the investment rises. That
is to say. roughly, as a class invest
ments returning 6 per cent are safer
than those returning per cent.
There are, of course, individual eX-
ccptions to the rule, and sometimes
a return higher than the average may
be secured without lessening the de-
gree of safety. But these are excep-
tions and the unframed investor is in
no position to recognize them. He
may, however, compensate partly Tor
the additional risk by this principle
of diversification. 1t will be at once
obvious that when ones capital is
very small it is impossible to dl-
versify. This is one of the reasons
why the small investor should take
only securities of the highest grade.
1t should be added also that, while
diversification is generally an advan-
tage it can be carried to an extreme.
If you divide up your funds among
too many different kinds of bonds 1t
becomes difficult to keep yourself
properly informed. And every one
should be able more or less to keep
in touch with the affairs of the cor
poration or industry in which he is
financially interested. This last rule
is one to keep in mind when you are
asked to put your money in some en-
terprise a long way from nome.
