Most of the farmers have been har-
vcsting their tobacco this week and
are getting this valuable crop into the
sheds in very good condition. Some
have already sold the crop for "a cents
a pound, but others are holding out for
a much higher price, which they believe
they will get later. Only so acres of
tobacco were raised in Hinsdalc this
year, whereas few years ago the acre
age was from 100 to 1875. This large de
crease is due partly to the poor yields
Of the past few years, the greatly In
creased cost of fertilizers and to the
scarcity of labor.

TISZA Is 4 LIBERAL

Zurich, Switzerland. via London.
May 29.-( British Admiralty per
Wireless Press. AN Official tele-
gram from Budapest says that EN-
peror Charles has appointed Count
Julius Andrassy Premier of Hun
gary.
There has been a vacancy in the
Hungarian Premiership since May 23
when Count Stephen Tisza, Austria
Hunary's iron man." and leader of
the pro-German party in the mon
archy, resigned his post. Differences
with the throne over franchise re-
form measures were assigned as a
reason for the resignation. Count
Tisza's views were understood to be
narrower in scope than those which
the monach favored.
Count Andrassy, former Premier,
and long one OF the most prominent
leaders of the opposition TO Count
Tisza's Ministry, is regarded as a
Liberal OF the advanced type. With
Count Apponyi and other opposition
leaders, he participated in an agree
ment early i'm the war not TO antago-
nize the governments foreign poll

broken and the opposition has since
been an active force in Hungarian

BOY HANGING FROM CLIFF
. BATTLES GIANT BUZZARD

Santa Rosa, Cal, May S0.-A bat
tie between a giant buzzard and a
fifteen year old boy clinging to the
root of a shrub twenty feet up a
straight ledge of rock was won by the
boy, who is now recovering from an
experience that rivals Poe's fictional
terrors.
The boy is Hans Meribach, and he
hung over a pile of jagged rocks for
long time. He was walking on the
brink of a precipice when his foot
slipped and he fell over. Twenty
feet below he caught a root and hung
on. With mis- handkerchief he tied
his lett wriS- to tIe root and thcn
wrote note TO a boy friend, bidding
him farewell and saying that no one
was responsible for his predicamcnt
Just as he finished writing a huge
buzzard few down upon him and
started TO peck at his head and body.
The hungry bird inflicted deep
wounds in the boys flesh. Young
Meirbach fought the buzzard with his
free hand. He had been tormented to
a frenzy and was about exhausted
when the bird gave up the fight,
At nightfall a searching party
found the boy and rescued him. He
had nearly lost consciousness from,
his experience and loss of blood.
