+ THREE WORDS HOLD MAJOR INTEREST IN BiG DUST DISTRICT; ‘If It Rains’ Is Chief Topic, of Conversation by Farmers, Merchants By ROBERT GEIGER Associated Press Staff Writer Guymon, Okla., April 15.—(7)— ‘Three little words—achingly familiar on a western farmer's tongue—rule life today in the dust bowl of the continent— If it rains... Ask any farmer, and merchant, any banker what the outlook is, and you hear them—if it rains... If it rains . . . some farmers will get a wheat crop. If it rains .. . fresh row crops may flourish. Tf it rains... pasture and range for livestock may be restored. If it rains... flelds quickly listed | into wind-resisting clods may stop the dust. If it rains ... it always has! The next three weeks will tell the | | story. 2 Black and saffron clouds of dust, Spectacular, menacing, intensely ir- ritating to man and beast alike, choking, blowing out tender crops, and lasting without mercy for days, have darkened everything but hope and a sense of humor in the dust sector of the southwest. Where Disaster Struck ‘The southwest is big and the dust area is only a small chunk of it. Roughly, it takes in the western third of Kansas, southeastern Colorado, the Oklahoma Panhandle, the north- ern two-thirds of the Texas Pan- handle, and northeastern New Mex- ico, | It always has been a region of sparse rainfall. The World War, with its high wheat prices and urgent de- mands, sent the plow into the sod and turned this into wheat country. Before then it was range land and the crop was native Buffalo grass, which held the soil firm against in- sistent winds. ‘The last three years have been of Grouth, with this spring’s field- eroding dust storms their stifling climax. But dust storms are noth- ing new in the southwest. Forty years ago—decades before the wheat farmers came with their combines— @ dust storm of such violence swept western Kansas that it stopped trains, just as they were stopped last week, It's a Hardy Country “This is 8 tough, hardy country,” fts farmers say, “it will come back overnight.” Housewives don’t like them, of course, but the dust belt grins and bears it. | Merchants do business as usual unless the storm gets too severe. ‘Then they hunt a fourth hand at bridge, lock the front door and retire to the back room to play it out. It gets in your clothes, literally in your hair, and sometimes it seems In your very soul. Certainly it gets) under the skin. But despite the hardship, and a generally unencouraging prospect, not a single one of more than 100; farmers interviewed by your corres- | pondent was leaving the country. | Los Each one had hope of getting a crop.

Editor, Tribune: ‘ I wish to take this method in which to thank the many citizens of Bis- marck for the splendid co-operation extended by them in the bird feeding Program of the past winter. Through their donations of time and money thirty-three feeding sta- tions were kept supplied with grain. Our native birds, the grouse, will not feed from a station, so several large coveys were fed by scattering the grain in fields where it was known the birds were in the habit of feeding. By comparing the pheasants which had access to feeding stations with those which did not, the value of the feeding program is apparent in the brighter plumage and more alert bearing of the well fed birds as over the duller plumage and listlessness of the birds which were compelled to subsist on what they could get by bandit; Jess Doyle, Kansas City; Oliv- er A. Berg, convict at the Joliet, Til. penitentiary; and Bruno Austin, Edward A. Vidler, Philip J. Delaney, James J. Wilson and John J. McLaughlin, all of Chicago. Ten Still at Large Ten of the 22 persons indicted for the crime. still are at large, including Alvin Karpis, United States public enemy No. 1 and alleged co-leader with Barker in the actual kidnaping. The government was expected to present nearly 100 witnesses in the trial, which probably will last a month. Killings, bank raids and kidnapings —the monetary loot estimated in ex- cess of a half million dollars—are charged by federal authorities to the Barker-Karpis gang. The government has information linking the mob with at least six kill- ings, in addition to data reportedly connecting the mobsters with the $100,000 kidnaping of William Hamm, St. Poul brewer, for which the Touhy combination was tried here and ac- quitted. Crimes attributed by the federal authorities to the gang include: Here Is Bloody Record Holdup of the Third Northwestern National bank, Minneapolis, $112,000 loot and three persons, including two patrolmen, killed. Slaying near Webster, Wis. of A. ‘W. Dunlop, father-in-law of Barker and second husband of Kate “Ma” Barker. (“Ma” Barker and her son, Fred, were slain by federal agents in Florida several months ago.) South St. Paul payroll robbery, $30,000 loot; one policeman slain, one seriously wounded. Robbery Union State bank, Amery, Holdup of federal reserve messen- gers in Chicago; no loot; policeman In Stamp Forgeries Milwaukee, April 15.—(#)—Their arrests climaxing three months of) intensive investigation, former! Leavenworth convict, and a truck’ driver employed in his meat market faced arraignment Monday in con- nection with the seizure of a half million counterfeit liquor stamps and labels of $1,000,000 face value. Agents meanwhile checked the confiscated stock for leads to the printing plant that produced the American and Canadian seals circu- lated throughout the nation, appar- ently from headquarters here. The bulk of the stamps turned up in middlewestern states still having dry laws. ‘The men, Joseph Pessin and Ralph R. Peyton, were caught in a trap set here by Lane Moloney, chief enforce- »|ment officer of the alcohol tax unit for Wisconsin, and operatives of the United States secret service and the Towa state liquor commission.

Two Iowa Boys Are Smothered in Cave Stoux City, Ia., April 15.—(?)—Two Sioux City boys, 12 and 11, were found smothered to death in a cave near their homes in the north part of Sioux City early Monday morning. The boys were: Buddy Gross, 12, son of Mr. and Mrs. C. L, Gross. Warren Carlson, 11, son of Mr. Mrs. A, C, Carlson.

Although this totals to little over two tons, I am of the = jon that it fed as many birds double this amount would have if self feeding hoppers were not used. During the coming summer we plan to so perfect and co-ordinate our program for next winter that we will be able to extend our feeding to the eastern portion of Burleigh county. I would like to hear from interested Persons from Regan,. Wing, Arena, Sterling, Moffit and McKenzie, in this matter, To you who helped with time and money in this program, I voice my sincere appreciation. Yours respectfully, JOHN C. SPARE.
