BUDAPEST.

Nill lllC utdulll LII tb1il- moner won out. The result is that Archduke Albrecht of Hungary car never reign over his countrymcn. As a matter of fact, he doesn't want to, preferring the love of his radiant wife, even if she bears no title.
 The marriage of Albrecht, in the teeth of the most unremitting opposi- tion, to Frau Irene Lelbach Rudnay was solemnized in London recently. Politically, it was an event of signifi- cause. Economically, it was in direct line of tradition of the fabled House of Hapsburg.
 Many were the precedents for q member of that family to wed a woman not of royalty or the nobility. Crown Prince Rudolph, son of the Emperor Franz Joseph, met death through his ardor for Maria Netsera, of the bour- geoisie. Archduke John, his closest friend waved away his title gladly for the sake of Milly Stubel, an unassum ing little Viennese shopgirl, and under the name of Johann Orth sought vol untary exile. His shipwreck off the coast of South America is still
 remembered.
 Archduke Francis Ferdin- and, whose assassination at s@g}} Sarajevo loosed the crimson s%s@sS horrors of the World War, S' falls into the same category.
 He had taken to wife Sophie
 Chotek, thus defying his father : stern mandate that he marry one of rank. The same bomb that obliterated him also slew her.
 None of these instances, however, was more picturasquely dramatic than the marriage of Albrecht and Frau Rudnay. ex-wife of the Hungarian Minister to the Hague. It all came about in d natural but essentially idyllic manner. Officially, at least, Al brecht, who is an attractive young man of twenty-eight, has been in the mar riagc market" for some years-due to the determination of his mother, Arch duchess Isabella, to see him form an alliance with someone of lofty station
 Her maneuvers were never crowned with success. Casting her alert eye about for promising prospect Isabella cIimpsed the unattached Grown Prin- cess of Holland, daughter of Queen Wilhelmna. She seemed highly de.
 
 sirable young woman; SO Albrecht was packed off to the Hague. The osten- sible purport of his visit was to offer Hungary's thanks to the Dutch for feeding half-starved Hungarian chil- dren during the food shortage in their country. Actually, of course, he was dispatched in the hope that he would fall in love.
 He did But with the wrong girl!
 What, his worried mother wondered, :, was he doing at The Hague? He had prolonged his stay beyond any reason able limit. She sent him, accordingly, an energetically worded summons to return home immediately. And, much to her surprise, Albrecht obeyed: But his heart he had left behind in the custody of Frau Rudnay.
 A romantic story is told of Albrecht's

STOCK PRICES SAG

Bears Make Most of 0ppor'
tunity as Tired Holders
Liquidate.
BY CLAUDE A. JAEGER,
Associated Press Financial Editor.

NEW YORK. June 3.-The bulls,
having failed to stir up any activity
in the stock market of late. left the
field to the bears today, but they made
even q worse showing. Practically the
entire list turned heavy, but despite
rather aggressive bearish operations in
spots, most losses were limited to
point or two, and during the early
hours of the session trading was in
the highest volume since August, 1928,
with the lone exception of January ID
last.
with practically the entire financial
community now looking with some con-
fidence for decided revival OF bust
ness by Autumn, and the market
already fairly well Debated, the bears
found themselves unable to start any
general liquidation. although a sub
stantial amount Of selling appeared
from traders who had grown discour-
aged with the markets sluggishness. A
substantial portion of the days busi-
ness appeared to be transactions by
floor traders for their own account.
Although news was rather meager,
such favorable developments as came
to hand we're ignored. The decision Of
the Supreme Court, denying the In
terstate Commerce Commission author
ity to impose freight rates under the
Hook Smith resolution, which might be
conf1scatory, failed to cause a fiutter

circles this decision is rated close to
that in the st. Louis and OFallon case.

out to three tenants, so acres to
each. This would go down on the
census records as four farms, be-
cause the land farmed by each man
is considered as unit.
On the other hand, one man
might rent various tracts of land
from 10 different owners. He
might rent few acres on shares, a
few more from somebody else for
money rent, and the rest from 9TH
er people on different terms. The
different pieces of land might be
widely separated. If they were all
farmed and managed by one man,
however, they would all be put
down together as one farm. If
however, a separate manager were
hired to supervise a certain por-
ton of the land, that portion would
go down as a separate farm.
No tract of land of less than three
acres will be registered as farm
unless it's produced more than $3.50
worth of farm products last year.
In the census of 1920 if piece of
land of less than three acres was
farmed by a man who gave his
entire time to the task, it was list
ed as farm regardless of how 1T
tie it produced, but this year none
of these small tracts " Ill be count

Regardless of how many people
spent their full time cultivating the
area. ct is estimated that approx
imately 5000 tracts of less than
three acres in the United States are
farmed by individuals who give
their full time to the occupation.)
This change in the classification of
farms is the only difference be-
tween the census bureaus regula-
tons for farm enumeration in 1890
from those of ten years ago.

coal alone, to say nothing of the
grain and other tonnage moving
out"
It will be of interest in this con-
nection to examine portion of the
interim report contained in the
letter from the Secretary of War
under date of February the 18th,
1880, transmitting a report from
the Chief of United States En-
gineers, on the partial survey of the
Mississippi river between the
mouth of the Missouri river and
Minneapolis with a view to secur-
ing a channel depth of nine-foot
at low water. This report contains
information of vital interest to the
people of northern states and in
particular Minnesota. The Commiss-
ion, therefore, submits the follow
ing excerpts therefrom:
1.-THE situation in the Upper Miss
issippi Valley is peculiar. This
great inland domain, as large as
the European nations of Germany
France, Italy, and Great Britain
combined, is distinctly agricultural.
The postwar increase in rail rates
has forced this area, which ann
ually produces over a billion BUSH
els of brain and exports nearly 1OO,-
100000 bushels, to do its marketing
almost entirely through one market.
In this monopolization the grain
producer has had little choice but
to sell at one price to the one mar
ket. There exists no actual COMPETE
ton between the great grain mar
kets of Minneapolis and Duluth,
! for the transportation rates of over
land rail routes compared to rates
on the lakes prevent such compel
ition. Without the competition the
costs on the Lakes are not reflect
ed in an increased return to the
producer"
"In the rapidity of the expansion
the country could not pause to
modernize them. Now the cheaper
transportation is being sought by
combination of rail lines and i'm
proved rivers. Rail lines in this
region are conveniently situated to
act as feeders to an improved trunk
water route if such is provided"

erage for the five years, 1924-1928,
was S,665,OO bushels.
For the United States, stocks of
barley held on farms March 1, 1880

Rye: The per cent of rye held on
Minnesota farms March las in
the case of corn-is the same for
both years, being ii per cent. The
1929 production exceeded the 1928
production, so that stocks reported

only $4,000 bushels on farms one
year ago. For the five years, 1924
1928, average holdings on March 1
were 1,437,OOO bushels.
For the United States, stocks in

the distance from the farm to
seaports is further aggravated by
the recent rapid increase in rail

Over 100000 bushels of this

Any Tract of Land Producing

All Sources, Is a Farm

A farm, according to the Census
Bureau, is all the land farmed by
one person, whether it is three
acres or three thousand acres.
Sounds simple, doesn't it? Well,
it was not so simple for the gov
eminent officials to decide what
should be considered farm to be
taken in April. Much study and
years of practical experience were
necessary before the short, concise
definition was agreed upon.
DIR. L. C.. Gray and DR.. o. E.
Baker, of the Department of Agri-
culture, assisted census officials in
deciding upon what should be call
ed a farm.
The amount of farm land owned
by one person has nothing to do
with the definition of a farm so far
as the census bureau is concerned.
The question is not how much land
does he own but how much does
he operate or farm. A man who
owns 300 acres might farm half of
it himself and rent the other half

CAMP ETHICS

There are many rules that govern

camper or follower of the trail
should know. Here's a few sug-
gestions that may help to make
your days in the open more enjoy

If your horse will not drink
water, don't drink it yourself;
trust your horse, but don't trust
your dog, for he will drink any
filthy water without apparently be-
coming sick.

sharp. A small pocket stone is very
handy for touching up knives. An

edge on your AK

a corner of your duffle bag may
come in mighty handy. It should
contain safety pins, needles, thread,
