Washington, d. c., Feb. 22-Last
bulletin gave forecasts Of disturbance
to cross continent II to 25, warm wave
20 to "a, cool wave % 10 81. Next dis
turbance Will reach Pacific coast about

cross Pacific slope about 81, great
central valleys 20, eastern states
March 2. Cool wave will cross Pa
cific slope about March I, great central
valleys 3, eastern states 5.
This disturbance will bring one of
the most severe weather periods of
March. Temperatures will range high
as the storm wave comes in and the
drop in temperatures following will
amount to a cold wave in northern
states. AS this cool wave comes in
SHOWS will fall in northern states and
rains in southern.
About and Immediately following
Feb. % unusually Geld weather may
be expected with SHOWS and frosts
farther south than usual for this sea-
son. AS February goes out a warm
wave will be approaching meridian 80
and much warmer weather will pre-
vail for several days.
Indications are that temperatures of
March will average from about to
above normal, ranging highest in the
section within 200 miles of Burling
ton, Iowa, and lowest on the Atlantic
and Pacific coasts and on our northern
and southern borders.
Indications are that the southern
states will be short on rainfall for
March while northern ATTITUDES will
have from about to above normal pre-
cipitation.
1t appears that the temperatures
of March are to come in reverse or
der the first ten days averaging
warmer than the last ten days. If |
these indications prove correct the !
last week of March will be too cold |
for southern truck gardening and the |
gardeners will need to cover their |

Congressman Burke Says Office OF

erful Than Congress.
Congressman james Francis Burke,
of Pittsburg, In an address on The
Powers Of the President" says:
''rhe American people can make no
greater mistake than to elect Mr..
Bryan on the assumption that he can
do no harm in the face of an adverse
Senate. AS between the executive and
Legislative departments Of the govern
ment, the former has infinitely greater
power to rule and ruin than the lat
ter.
"Mr. Taft and Mr.. Bryan are wholly
different types Of men. Each pos
sesses a strong individual character,
which would certainly assert itself in
the White House. What either Of
these men would do during a four
years term in the White House IS
causing as much anxiety among
thoughtful Americans as the mere
matter OF election alone

ident is without q rival in the world.
Through the agencies under his con-
troll he will this year disburse a billion
dollars, showing the great things we
are doing in adding TO the unparalleled
list of the worlds achievements.

the fifteen years of B-yan leadership
the States controlled by his party have
decreased from % to Il, the number
of Senator'S from As to 81. the number
