Bankruptcy of Agriculture
Is the Result

Now these men were not
hostile to industralists or
bankers or anyone else; they
insisted merely that the
great agricultural interests
should not be sacrificed to
increase the earnings Of
any other class through
governmental action. Those
responsible for the policy
against which Grimes pro-
tested were certainly not de-
liberately trying to hurt the
farmers. They merely ex-
cluded the farmers from gov
ernmental consideration.
1t is literally true that for
so years the farmers have
been the poor relations of
government; and the pres
ent bankruptcy Of agrlcul-
ture is the result.
And with the purchasing
power of more than 100000
600 Americans utterly de-

DUGGER, Ind, July 22-An
three companies of national guards
men quartered in Shakamak state
park, near here, were called into the
Hoosier mine area today, instead Of
only one detachment, as at first
planned, to protect marooned non
union miners, entombed for forty
hours.
Acknowledgement Paul Tombaugh
took command of the battalion and
brought the entire available force
into action, when picketing union
miners assumed a more threaten
ing attitude than had been an
ticipated.
Guardsmen left the park shortly
after 10 a. M, and it was expected
that the remaining twenty-seven
men, imprisoned in the mine since
Wednesday, would depart immedi-
ately.
Remain on Guard
Virtually all the beleaguered
miners were on guard at the pit en-
trance, with their two machine guns
and smaller arms ready for imme-
date action, pending arrival of the
troops.
Tension increased during the
morning, when the anticipated early
departure was delayed, but there
were few union men in evidence.
A majority of the picketS dis
persed shortly after midnight, when
a truce was declared.
Roads surrounding the mine area
was clogged for two days with the
union picketers, protesting operat-
ing of the mine on a cooperative
basis. These roads were deserted
today.
Ready to Return
1t was learned, however, that the
pickets had not disbanded, but only
had moved back a few miles from
the mine. Toward Hymera, and in
other sections, the picketers congre-
gated and were ready to converge
once more upon the Hoosier mine at
a moments notice.
Tombaugh said the troops would
be kept at the mine until the Situa-
tiCn appeared to be quiet fully.
There was talk among the pick
eterS today of surrounding the
Dixie Bee mine at Pimento, also
operated on a nonunion basis. 1t
has been the scene of several recent
disorders.

Murder Suspected, Despite
Suicide Evidence; Probe
Farm Girls Deaths.
By UHitcd Press

LAKE CITY, Mimi, July o.
A pistol in her hand, Agnes Stevens,
"a, Boston, University of Minnesota
student, was found shot to death
today in her parked automobile.
The scene was twelve miles from
Ryan's bay in the zurnbro river,
whence the bodies of two farm girls
were removed Thursday after their
mysterious deaths.
Authorities were inclined to re-
ject the theory that the two trag-
edies we're related, but took notice
of the circumstances that all three
deaths occurred after automobile
rides.
Search has been futile so far for
the two youths who took Louise
Prigge, %, and Frances Pohkowski,
81 schoolgirl chums, for a "joy
ride just prior to their deaths
from causes which are unestabished
except that neither was drowned.
Authorities believed the farm
girls we're murdered, but were
puzzled by Miss Stevens death,
despite the indication of suicide.
Miss Stevens, who lived at San
ford Hall at the university, and
drove her own automobile, was
found seated at the wheel, bullet
wound near the right ear. In her
right hand was a .38-caliber re-
volver. Her left hand was on the
wheel of the car which was fifty
miles from the campus.
A small diamond ring was on
the engagement finger OF Miss
Stevens left hand. The body was
found by fishermen.
A bag of golf clubs was found in
the automobile, as were several
music books. At the University OF
Minnesota, it was learned Miss
Stevens was a student of music.
Her automobile was parked on
