 German heavy artillery has engaged in spirited exchanges with French guns at various points along the west ern front.

 Indications that relations between Greece and Bulgaria are improving and that the former nation is tend ing toward a determination to con- tinue her neutral policy are noted by correspondent in Athens. Paris, on the other hand, has reports from the Greek capital that several classes of Greek reservists have been called to join the colors on October 1.

Whalers On Lookout.

At that time he expected to reach Banksland on the drifting ice, but the strong current from the Macken- zie River and unfavorable winds drove the ice to the westward. This drift it was hoped by Stefansson's friends would carry the explorer and his com- panions toward the Siberian coast. In this belief trading schooners and whalers plying the Arctic this sum- mer were asked to keep a sharp look cut for the explorers. Last month vessels arrived at Nome, Alaska, after trading along the Alaskan and Siber- ian shores of the Artic and reported that no trace of Stefansson had been found.
 Seen On Ice F1oe.
 There still remained the hope that he had found refuge on Wrangel Is-: land, where the survivors of the Stefansson exploration ship Karluk sought safety after that vessel was crushed in the ice 8 months ago. This hope was strengthened by a circum- stantial account received at Nome last April to the effect that natives hunt ing seal last winter near Icy Cape, cn the Arctic coast of Alaska, re- ported that they saw a white man marooned on an ice foe which was drifting in a southwesterly direction toward Wrangel Island. This infor- nation did not give the date on which the natives saw the man, but 1t is presumed to have been late in January or early in February this year.
 When the natives first saw the man he was on a large ice pack separated from them and the shore by wide stretch of water. The hunters i'm mediately hurried out upon the ice to attempt a rescue but before they reached the lead separating the foe from the shore ice a strong off-shore wind sprang up, carrying the ice far to sea. The ice was moving steadily southwest and unless the wind shifted must have touched Wrangel Island, where food coaches were left last summer by the party who rescued the survivors of the Karluk.

With Stefansson when he left Mar tin Point late in March, 1914 were Ole Anderson and Sorker Storkersen, men said to be as strong and resourceful as stefansson himself. They had rifles, sledge that could be used as a boat, and an abundance of food and ether supplies.

The Work Among Farmers.

Columbia, Mo.-The annual re-
port of Secretary Jewell Mayes to
the Missouri State Board of Agricul-
ture sets forth the activities and
1914 results of the state Sdepart-
ment of agriculture.
The offices of the State Board are
located by law in the agricultural
building of the University, but the
department is entirely separate
from the College of Agriculture.
The work of Farmers Institutes
and meetings addressed in 1914
shows the largest service in the fifty
years Of history of the Board. The
Boards Farmers Institute lecturers
reached 109,113 people in total at
tendance with 274 meetings, 499
sessions
In 1918 the attendance at Farm
ers' Institutes was 53612 with 24O
meetings.

1918 and 1914 to the Ozark country
