TIE kReuS' CAPITOL
 CITY LETTER,
Interesting Notes From Our Little Rock Cor
 respondent.
(BY A. W. PARKED

Little Rock, Aug. 5-To steal an ear of corn in most sections of Arkansas will this year con.
 stitutn a felony. and one con- victed of such a crime will be immediately confined within the
 walls of the penitentiary for nc
 county will run the risk ol
 housing the culprit and having to feed him with rations as short
 as they will be. In contempla- tion of the lack of feed for the winter months. Arkansas is be. | ing devasted of stock as rapidly as it can be moved to market. Even the razorback that has never asked for a helping of corn, and which resorted to mast when it could not negotiate the distance over, under or through a fence, is crowded in- to the cars which carry him to the bacon factory.
 The method of farming and farm management which has kept the state back, is largely responsible for the present shortage, for in many localities where intensified farming was followed, the corn crop will be good, and the farmers will reap the harvest of $l corn.
 The Little Rock correspondent of the Argus journeyed inland for some miles in North Arkan- sas during the past week. On Sunday he stopped for dinner in a very prosperous rural commu- nity. Chicken and potatoes are the only home grown contribu- tions to the meal. Canned kraut came from Michigan. There was corn meal and flour from Kansas. Canned beans came from Illinois, and the canned fruit was labeled as though it came from California, but it had the Arkansas flavor. Chickens was all this farmer had to send to market. Instead of taking them to market him self, he sold them to a peddler for tinWare at a price ridiculous ly cheap. Even at that the farmer was prosperous and his home was one of apparent luxury or would be so consider ed if it were in a city. This is but another tribute to the great ness of the Arkansas soil, which will make a living for it's owner, whether it is worked or not, and whether it is rained upon or not.
 The war in which all Europe is involved will save many a dollar to the unsophisticated in Arkansas. It will keep many a dollar at home which otherwise go rainbow chasing in Germany. Within the past few weeks all telephone managers in the principal cities of Arkansas have received from a concern in Germany dollar in United States currency, requesting in return a copy of the latest directory issued by this tele- phone exchange. In each in- stance the request has been com piled with.
 The recipient of these ex- change lists uses them for the purpose of getting names and addresses in the United States. To many of the telephone sub scribers letters are written in which proposals are made to assist the victim in locating an estate in which he is interested as an heir, or to share buried treasure if he will supply the capital with which to make the search. The writer always claims to have charts showing where to find the money, or to hava in Formation from a convict

BLOOMINGTON, April 11.-1lli-
nois' champion tax dodger has been
discovered in Alfred W. Barber. a
millionaire, who died in Crystal Lake
in 1912. No one suspected his wealth,
and the assessors, VIII annually called
upon him, could only find atxable
property to the amount OF $4,000.
The sensation came when his will
was admitted to probate. 1t devel-
oped that Barber was a bondholder
in many corporations, and the aggre-
gate of his holdings as disclosed in
the will were $4,000, 900 instead of the
