KIDNAPPING INCREASES

THE increasing number of kidnapping
l cases reported from various parts of
the country causes no surprise to those
who know that every major crime is fol-
lowed by an epidemic of similar crimes.
usually of less Importance but equally
distressing to those whom they most in
timately concern.
With the Lindbergh case as a starter,
other kidnapings have followed. Easy
money artists, inspired by the boldness
of that crime, have sought to emulate it.
No reports of their success are known,
but several who attempted to violate the
law in this fashion have been sent to
prison.
There is no need for growing hyster-
ical over the possibilities, but there is
need for parents to give special warnings
to their children with regard to CONVEX
sations with strangers. They should be
instructed to avoid any such contacts and
to report Immediately any attempts
made to effect them.
Imperial county has been free from
this sort of crime. There are other
phases of criminal activity involving juv-
eniles from which we have not been so
free, and it might not be amiss for par
ents to give little advice to their young
sters in that respect.

Burleigh Farmers
Seeking $4,000

Burleigh county farmers are ex.

aggregating approximately $4,000,
H. o. Putnam, county agent, said
Thursday
Two hundred and twenty-five ap-
plications asking for loans totaling
slightly more than $4,000 already
have been sent In.
, Totals already are In excess Of
those last year and present indica-
tons are that more than 300 farm
ers will apply before loans are closed,
Putnam said.
Eighteen farmers had received fav-
orable action on applications Thurs
day and several others were to re-
ceive funds within the next few days.
To date there have been no rejec-
tons. Putnam said, and it was hoped
the number would be reduced to g.
minimum this year. Provisions this
year are less difficult to meet and
fewer reflections are expected, he
said.

UNIVERSITY BAND
IS WELL RECEIVED
Capacity House Voices Approx
al Of Numbers Given In
Local Concert

A capacity house which voiced its
approval Of each number played
greeted the appearance Of the Uni
versity OF North Dakota band in a
concert at the city auditorium We'd
nesday evening.
Directed by John +. Howard. the
band presented program that In va
riety, general appeal and musician
ship excelled any concert given here
in several months.
The Andante from Beethover's
Fifth Symphony" was the highlight
of the evening. Known as one OF the
most beautiful single movements In
all orchestral literature, the Andante
was interpreted with sympathy and q
fine regard for volume and tone.
Second, possibly. In excellence,
though entirely different from the
Beethoven composition, was fan
tasia. "A Summers Day In Norway"
by Willmers. The piece is woven of
Norwegian folk songs and dance
tunes which offer accent and contrast
and yet make harmonious part of
the whole. It's light theme was hand
led with sure touch and gave full
opportunity to the various sections
of the band.
Sousa's immortal "saber and Spurs
was the only march on the program
and was followed by Schubert's over
ture. "Rosanunde." A novelty on
concert programs, yet one which ap-
pealed because of its neWness, was

ICE STILL SOLID IN
MISSOURI RIVER AS
APRlLAPPR0ACHES
Farmers in Bottoms Warned
There Is Danger as Long
as Ice Remains

Ice In the Missouri river in North
Dakota remained solid Thursday as
the month Of March prepared to bid
its adieu.
Sub-freezing temperatures through
out the state during the night led to
the belief that the Ice will not go out
for several days yet.
Farmers in the bottoms, however,
are warned that there always is
danger Of flood as long as there is
ice, either moving or solid, in the Big
Muddy.
Bismarck Thursday morning re-
ceived another mantle of snow, as q
thick fall Of heavy moisture-laden
flakes occurred. The fall did not last
long, however.
Temperature here dropped to Is de-
grees above zero. Of seven degrees be-
low freezing, at 7 a. m. Thursday. The
high temperature for Bismarck We'd
nesday was SO degrees above zero.
Despite the snow. G. o. Lindbergh.
SIS Ninth ST., called the Tribune to
report that a robin was singing mer-
rily on a telephone wire near his resi-
dence. This, however, is not the first
robin reported seen In Bismarck this
year. The distinction OF having first
reported seeing robin in Bismarck
goes to L. v. Miller, 1875 Eighth st..
who said he saw one several days ago.
Belief that North Dakota will re-
ceive at least as much moisture this
year as In the normal year Is express
ed by weather experts In view Of the
fact that the last three years have
been abnormally dry.

ADMIT CHILDREN
STARVING HERE
Boss Report Proves
Patterson Charges

Charges made by William L. Pat
terson, Communist candidate for
Mayor, at a meeting of the Citizens
Budget Commission in Carnegie Hall
last week that the politicians are will
ing to starve workers children in
order to protect the interests Of
bankers gained special significance
when report made public Sunday
by the Emergency Relief Committee
stated that more than 20 per cent of
children attending public schools in
New York City suffer from bad food
and hunger.
Hillquit, who spoke at the same
meeting, made no mention of the
plight Of workers school children in
this city, nor did he demand, as did
Patterson, that the rich be taxed by
providing free clothing and hot
lunches for school children.
According to the report by the
Emergency Relief Committee, 10000
school children were examined, and
of these 22,748 showed effects Of
malnutrition, or per cent more than
in the winter of 1929-1930 The Com
mittee admitted that these conditions
are caused by unemployment.
In preparing the 1888 budget for
New York City, Tammany not only
failed to appropriate funds for I'M
employment relief and for clothing
and food for school children, but in
response to pressure by Wall Street
made cuts in the appropriation for
care of crippled children.
Tammany was roundly scored for
this by William L. Patterson in his
address at the meeting held by the
Citizens Budget Commission, while
HillQuit, the Socialist, and Pounds,
the Republican, ignored the entire
question.
On the eve of the Soviet Unions
triumphant 18th Anniversary, Hillquit
lodged a masked attack on the work
ers' government in a speech made in
the Rand School, quotations of
which were published in the New
York Times yesterday, in which he
declared that New York City is "being
ruled by a dictatorship of bankers
more insdiious and despotic than the
Communist dictatorship ruling in
Moscow Hillquit, who failed to at
tack Wall Street at the budget meet
ing in Carnegie Hall, adds proof of
his enmity against the working class
by using his staunch friend, the CAPT.
talist press, to put the Workers Gov
eminent in the Soviet Union and
Wall Street in the same category.
Patterson, who made a study of the
minority race problem in the Soviet
Union, has been a consistent and
constant defender of the Workers Re-
public.
