iously considered
here indicate very plainly that many
small districts are going to face diffi
culties because of lack of resources.
In quite a number of counties teach
ers have left that service because of
military service or the more attrac
tive conditions to be found in indus
trial occupations, while the demand
for women in offices and in many
walks of life opened up to them by
the war is making inroads upon the
female teaching staff.
In addition to the shortage of
teachers which will be more or less
of a big problem before long many
districts are complaining of the cost
of supplies, all idnds of which ap
pear to have gofre up In price, while
furniture is hard to get and a score
or more districts have reported
abandonment of needed extensions of
buildings or new schools because of I
the big advance in prices of building |
materials. In districts where schools
have had to be consolidated the cost
of transportation is another item
that Is looming up menacingly.
State Road Work—Provision is be
ing made in all contracts by the
State Highway Department for road
construction whereby the contractor
would be relieved in the event that
time would be lost and completion of
the improvement delayed through in
ability to obtain deliveries of ma
terials because of the priority order
in the use of open topped cars on the
railroads. In a dozen counties the
state has been compelled*to suspend I
construction work of its own and
maintenance operations generally
have been seriously interfered with,
where the department was dependent
on transportation of materials by
oars. Where the stone needed can
be obtained from quarries located
along the highways and prices are
reasonable, work will go on as long
as weather permits. Repair work on
the main highways much In use for
motor truck traffic and which are
expected to be much used this winter
is being rushed and trucks have been
pressed into state service where pos
sible 10 haul stone and other ma
terials.

state, especially in the vicinity of
state game preserves. Considerable
success is reported to have attended

Farmhands Asked—Secretary of
Agriculture; Patton's call to the
farmers of the state to save double
the ordinary amount of seed corn
this winter so as to provide corn
for farmerswhose crops were ruin
ed by frost, has brought a number of
responses, but more requests for the
aid of the state In providing hands
to help get in corn not yet husked.

gathering and now the demand is for
husking help.
