rice and trading in Arkansas lands, drove over to Brinkley Tuesday. Friend Fisher and his son, Norbourne W. Fisher, are rice farming this year for the Dirks & Son Lumber Co.,, of Kansas City, Mo. This company has 40 acres of rice on it's own ranch and 25O on the Fisher Ranch, two miles east of Wheat ley, which they have rented from MT. Fisher Norbourne ". Fish CT, modest young man, is Supt, for his father ih the ranch work.
 I'm expecting to put in a day on a cross country trip thru the rice belt during the next week and when l do will tell the ARGUS readers how the crops look. I'm told that there will be $700, 900 worth of rice grown in the Hunter Wheatley Brink ley belt this year and Pm anx- ious to see it in its beauty. Sure ly there's not a more beautiful sight in America than the thou sands of acres of beautiful solid green fields of growing rice.
 My old friend, Henry Schaefer, the champion rice grower and also the Cushman motor agent of this section, was down from Hunter the past week doing bus mess with ARGUS advertisers. Henry hasn't been here for some weeks because of having been torpedoed by Q vicious MULE, but he is doing business again and the users of that wonderful little motor the Cushman, had better read his ad in this weeks 8 ARGUS and act quick.

DEADLOCK ON WAR TAX
BILL REMAINS UNBROKEN
Section May Be Entirely Rewritten
Before Agreement il Reached.
(Rv Associated Press.l


Washington, Sept. 26.-Conferees
on the war tax bill failed again yes
terday to break their deadlock on
war excess profits taxation but some
progress was made on compromise
negotiations just before they
adjourned until today.
Return Of the measure to the SEN
ate and house before the latter part
of the week was said last night to be
improbable, and more of the con-
ferees were disposed to fear a final
disagreement.
Virtually the whole question of
war excess profits was said to have
been thrown open yesterday and a
fresh start on various compromise
proposals made. 1t was reported
that the conferees were considering
entirely rewriting the section, follow
ing suggestions made personally by
telephone by Secretary McAdoo.
Among the questions reopened
was the definition Of corporate in
vested capital, which the conference
had previously settled. Some men,
bers also raised the question OF
reaching railroads with an excess
profits levy and Of considering in
tangible assets in calculating excess
profits. House conferees were said
to be insistent on a fiat per cent
capitalization exemption, in lieu of
the s per. cent minimum and 10 per
cent maximum provision Of the sem
ate.
