Vienna, March 27.-Jan ,Kubelik, violinist, has just purchased palace for 5,0O0,000 crowns, it is announced. A few weeks ago the palace was sold for 2,7O0,000 crowns. This is an eX- ample of the feverish speculation in real estate which has set in here be- cause of pending financial legislation, particularly the proposed levy on the fortunes, and also because of the generally uncertain state of the coun- try's finances. Many large proper ties in Vienna are reported to have changed hands as often as three times in one week. Palaces have been sold and resold until their prices have doubled.

 The magazine contains 32 pages of carefully prepared information touching about every item of interest in Arkansas exhaustive and diversi fled array of resources, and includes over 70 excellent pictures which portray we'll the wide scope in di- versified farming which maintains in the state.
