All but one teacher has been sign
ed up for next year for the kend-
rick school. One high school teach
er is still lacking. As soon as this
vacancy has been filled the list OF
teachers will be published. There
is big demand for teachers this
year and it is difficult to secure
teachers to fill all Of the vacancies
in the grades and high school. Mr..
White believes, however, that Kend-
rick will have a very strong teach
ing force to begin the next terms
work.
During the high grain prices for
the past year or more the tendency
has been to turn off livestock from
the farms in order that every effort
might be turned into the production
OF grain. Consequently the meat
production figures for 1918 are
greatly increased. During that year
the dressed meat production for
America was 20. .129, 100000, against
the CORRESPONDING figures for 1917
Of, 16, 81, 300, 900 pounds. The fig
ures for 1919 will undoubtedly show
decline on the amount OF meat
marketed.
