Mrs. c. c. Patton is In receipt of q
message from her sister. a teacher in
the Milwaukee public schools, in
which she says; THE schools here
have been closed for couple of weeks
on account of the most unprecedentiy
cold weather. during which the muir.
curry has shown temperature OF from
II to % degrees below zero. The deep
snow and the difficulty of obtaining
fuel added to the seriousness OF the
situation. The snow has been shov-

is being carted away as fast as cir
cumstances will permit. In some
places 1t is impossible for pedestrians
on one side of the street to look
across and see people on the opposite
side on account of the intervening
snow banks"
