nal Mapdan Reports

The weather during the, month
Of January, 1919, was by far the
most favorable on record during the
past f45 years, according to state-
ment from o. W.. Roberts, section
director, US. weather bureau for
North Dakota.
While all the reports for the state
were not available, advance reports
from the regular Weather Bureau

gave evidence that all records for
the state were shattered.
The following report of condition
at the local station, compared with
past records, follows:
The weather during January
was the'most favorable on record
for this station, covering a period
of 45 years. The temperature av-
eraged 24.4 degrees, or 17.7 above
the normal, and the highest of re-
cord for January, the nearest ap-
proach being 1913 degrees in 1891
and 24.4 in 1908. The highest
temperature recorded was SO de-
grees on the nineteenth; the lowest
was -35 (below) on the first.
What makes this record the more
remarkable is the fact that mini.
mum temperatures during the first
five days of the month were as fol-
lows: -35, -2S, 81, -l3 and
%. The greatest daily range of
temperature difference between
the highest and lowest tempera.
lures Of any day. was So degrees
on the third. The least daily
range was MAE degrees son th,
eleventh. 2 g e, +
. There was a deficiency of pre-.
cipitation over the entire state, the
average here being O.O9 inch, OF
q 46 inch below the normal. The
average snowfall was 90 inch.
There were but five drier Januarys
in the Chronological history of the
station.
There were eleven clear DAYS,
fourteen partly cloudy days and six
cloudy days. The prevailing wind
direction was northwest. The total
wind movement was 1888 miles, or
an average Of 9.8 miles per hour.
The highest velocity was forty
miles per hour from the northwest
on the fourth. Mandan News.

TIE memorials, These people
have spersistently refused to send
theI children to our public schools
- - Another lie. There are doz-
ems d public schools in Elnmons,
Grant and neighboring counties
where the greatest plumber Of chill
rem are German Russians.
The "memorialV:: They have
maintained private and parcchial
schools in which some foreign
language was taught and in which
no effort or thought is given to the
incubation Of the purpose Of
American institutions or the history
offour country As bishop Of
Bismarck l am at the head of every
sparochial school within my diocese,
and as such l must most emphatil
scally brand the originator of the
memorial" as a slanderer against
my own good name and the good
name of our German Russian Cath
olics. He has absolutely no proof
that mo effort or thought is given
in our parochial schools to the pur-
pose Of American institutions or the
history Of our country".. Men who
falsely acuse Others and especially
q very large body Of their fellow
citizens are themselves avoid of the
spirit and purpose Of American in
stitnticns. Liberty is the highest
eaoa coming from. and inherent
to, American institutions, but
truth and the love Of truth are the
essential; foundations of liberty. If
the writer Of the memorial had
ever visited one Of our parochial
schools, he would surely have
found that English is taught there
just as much and sometimrs more
successfully as in any public school.
He could also know that we main
tain our parochial schools not for
for purpose Of tesching a foreign
language, but for the purpose Of
giving to our children a through
religious education. He ought also
to know that religious education is
the very best foundation Of true
patriotism.
The memorial: Large num-
bers Of such people Of German birth
or German decent have either OPEN
ly or secretly espoused the cause Of
Germany VIII the originator
Of the memorial" have the kind
ness to give. US the list of those
Of German birth Or descent in the
counties near the Fort Yates reser.
walton who openly or secretly es.
poused the cause of Germany.
Let him show the facts and prove
