We pledge the party TO foster and
develop cooperative marketing ASSOC
Citations through appropriate gov
mt aid.
We recognize that experience has
tmonetrated that members OF such
associations alone cannot successful

Il program that benefits all produce
ers alike. We pledge the party to an
earnest endeayor to solve this prob
lem of the distribution Of the cost
of dealing with crop SURPRISES over
, the marketed units of the crop
whose producers are benefited by
such assistance. The solution of this
problem would avoid government
subsidy 10 which the democratic
party has always been opposed. The
, solution OF this problem will be
prime and immediate concern Of
democratic administration.
We direct attention to the fact
that it Was a democratic congress in
the administration of a democratic
president, which established the fed
eral loan system and laid the foun-
dation for The entire rllral credits
structure, which has aided agricul-
ture to sustain in part the shock of
the policies of two republican adj
nlnistrations; and we promise thor
ough-going administration of our
rural credits laws so that the farm
erS in all sections may secure the
maximum benefits intended under
these acts.
Mining
Mining is one of the basic indus
tries of this country. We produce
more coal, iron and copper than any
other country. The value Of our
mineral production is second only TO
agriculture. Mining has suffered like
agriculture and from similar causes.
IT Is the duty of orr government TO
foster this industry and to remove

LOVED SAME MAN,
 IN SUICIDE: PACT
Beautiful Russian Ballet Dancers
 Leap to Death

Moscow, April 2s.-P>-Agnessa koreleva and Natalie Aksenova. beautiful ballet artistes, both aged
 20, gave tragic touch last night to the latest revolutionary ballet called Red Poppy" when they plunged to death from the uppermost flies of the stage in full view of the public and just as the curtain was about to fall.
 Both girls, their hands tied, crash- cd in mid stage just as the thunder ous revolutionary hymn. The Inter- nationale, was struck up by the or chestra.
 Fellow artists who knew the girls intimately expressed belief that the ballet dancers had formed | suicide pact growing out of an unusual TO- nance. They said that the girls had fallen in love with a scenery painter. kurilko, who lately has become re- nowned for his art. Devoted to each other and yet both desperately in love with the painter, it was thought that they preferred a common death as the best way out of the situation.
 The ballet is rcplete with reyolu- tionary heroic exploits and to the spectators at a. distance. who had not heard the agonized cry of the dancers drowned as 1t was in the thunderous music, the leap seemed like a startling stage feat effected with dummies.
 To the corps de ballet, however, who at that moment came from the wings advancing to mid stage in a dance of revolutionary triumph, the tragedy was only too apparent in all it's grewsome aspects. Before their eyes lay the two girl friends, the one lead and the other just breathing.
 The curtain fell immediately hid- ng from the audience the panic and ears of the ballerinas.
 The police authorities immediately began an investigation into the leaths. The theatrical manager ad- 'anced the theory that suicide pact lad been agreed upon by the girls growing out of circumstances not yet but fellow artists were convinced that the girls mutual TO- nance with the painter was the lctual reason for their self-destruc- ion.
