FALL OF TISzA
Austrian Cabinet Said
to Have Resigned
Dominant Potsdam Factor Re-
scented by King

London, May 23.-11.15 A. MA
Central News despatch from Amster-
dam says that the Hungarian cabinet,
of which Count Tisza was premier, has
resigned.
Count Tisza, 1.-THE iron man" of Aus
tria- Hungary, has been for many years
the leader of the pro-German party
in the Dual Monarchy and was the
last survivor of the little group of
statesmen who surrounded Emperor
Francis when the European war be-
gan. On the accession of Emperor
Charles, the majority of the officials of
the previous regime either were dis
missed or resigned. There have been
persistent reports from many sources
that Emperor Charles keenly resent
ed the dominance of Berlin in Austro-
Hungarian affairs and that Count Tis-
"a was the one great obstacle which
prevented him from freeing his en-
pire from the influence of Potsdam.
There have been several reports re-
Gently that the fall of Premier Tisza
was imminent. but the rigid censorship
imposed by Vienna has prevented the
outside world from learning the exact
condition of affairs. At the outbreak
of the war a truce was declared be-
tween the political parties in Hungary
but last August Count Apponyi, lead
err of the Liberals and strong OPP
ponent of the Pan-Germans, an
nounced that the truce was ended and
that he would resume criticism of the
governments foreign policy. He was
joined by Count Karolyi, president of
the Hungarian independent party. and
the two popular leaders instituted
vigorous campaign against Count lis
"a for his failure to carry out fran
chise and other democratic reforms.

Of farming that it will overcome many OF
the handicaps of a bad season.
Though the potash fertilizers of Ger
many are available to Austria Hungary
every demand made by farm land fertil-
ization is not met by them, for the reason
that this supply is but part of the ele-
ments needed to foster vigorous plant
life
Exhausted Lands
Farming in Austria Hungary as in Ger
many has for the last two years taken
much more out of the soil than it was
possible to return to it. the result being
that two crops have been raised on what
may be considered bang the reserve store
Of the elements needed to produce a crop
With the duration of the war the posi-
bilties of keeping the soil in good condi-
ton have decreased constantly, so tina,

OF exhaustion. The best of weather this
year could not produce good crop. ac-
cording to many land owners with whom
the matter was discussed
Inc shortage III ldFIIl IdDOT also ar
CUES against a good crop this year.
Most of the farming is done by the
women, the older children. men unfit
for military service and prisoners of
war. The quality of their labor has
been rather better than was expected
but 1t falls short by far of what the
men in the trenches could do.
Last year, for instance. much grain
was ruined by being too long in the
fields after ripening, rain spelling 1t.
A lack of vitriol. principal ingredi-
ent in the spraying solution used to
free crop plants from parasites, has
also been a serious factor in poor crop
returns in the monarchy. In many
parts 1t has led to total failures in
potato crops and many of Austria
Hungary's splendid vineyards and
orchards have been ruined because Wit
riol, being a copper product, could not
be obtained.
The crop outlook in Austria Hun
gary for this year must be looked upon
as being far from good. 1t is no worse
than that Of Germany, however. Both
countries labor under the same disad-
yantages to which the present year
has so far added a lateness in spring
planting and sowing.
Much relief is expected from the
parts of Rumania occupied by the
Central Power troops. 1t is estimated
that the area under control produces
annually about 100000 tons OF grain.

FARMERS FIGHT
;, TO SAVE HORSES

Williston, N. D., March "a
Judge Frank E. Fisk of the district
court has not yet handed down his
decision in the case brought by Nc
Kenzie county farmers to prevent
the state authorities from killing
horses said to be affected with dour-
inc. The court Is awaiting the
filing of briefs by the attorneys IN
the case.
The case is of great interest to
many farmers of the western sec
ton of the state. According to the
claims made by attorneys who ap>
peared for the horse owners in the
suit heard by judge Fisk in cham
bers, the state authorities have or
dered the killing of many animals
which are not affected with the dis
ease.
It is expected that briefs will be
filed within a few days and Judge
Fisk expects to make his decision at
an early date. The case Is Of such
Importance that it is likely to be
appealed to the state supreme court
by whichever side loses.

REFUSE TO REIN.
Qu!SH EQUIPMENT

Portal, N. D., March 22.-Owing
to the great shortage of boxcars'
several Minneapolis comm :ssion
firms and milling companies are
shipping Canadian wheat to North
Dakota and transferring it by wa
gon to elevators at Portal, N. D., to
be reloaded into 500 line cars.
The Canadian Pacific railroad,
owing to the large number of box
cars from that line now being used
in the United States has refused to
permit any more of their cars to
leave the c. P. r. lines and as a
consequence a transfer of grain is
necessary at this point. Buyers for
Mf6neapolis and other concerns have
been canvassing Canadian territory
for several weeks past securing car
load shipments of wheat from al
most every station in this section
It is estimated that between 10000
and $4,000 bushels have been con-
tracted for that will be transferred
at this point this spring.

berta wheat appears to be the best
in quality seen here this year and

have recently secured several car
loads of this wheat for seed, the
average price paid being about 81

STATES OPINION ON
CITY VOTING

Nonpartisan Leader: If you
have moved from your precinct
within the past 80 days you have
not lost. your vote for the coming
city election, in the opinion of AS
shtant States Attorney w. c. Green.
If you have resided in the city for
80 days and in the state one year,
you are entitled to vote, regardless
of how few days you have lived in
the precinct where you reside on
election day. Mr.. Green read from
the statutes covering cities under
the commission form of government
and these stated plainly that resi-
dents of such city are not required
to reside in a precinct 80 days in
order to vote at the city election.
Moving from one precinct to an
other within 80 days of the city
election does not disfranchise a citi-
zen at is would if general election
was to be held or the city was un-
der the old aldermanic form of
government.

size 81 and one 40. two suit cases,
two pairs of suspenders, seven lad
