State Must own stereotype plates.

lAttorney General John T. Barker,
Secretary Roach and Auditor Gordon,
who comprise the board having charge
of the printing of the supreme and ap-
pellate court reports, have prepared
to r~eadvertise for bids for this con-
tract for six years. Rejection Of
the bids of the E. w. Stephens Co.,
of Columbia, the Mexico Publishing
Co., of Mexico, and Buxton & Skinner
of st. Louis, some days ago was be-
cause of their being indefinite in sev-
eral particulars.
New bids to be called for in the
next 80 days must be more explicit in
a number of details. These bids must
specify that the stereotype plates from
which the court reports are printed,
must become the property Of the state.
About 80 volumes of the court re-
ports are printed annually, of which
the state takes from 600 to 700. A
large number are sold to lawyers.
The Stephens Co. has printed the
reports since 1885, and owns all of
the plates from that time. Plates of
all Missouri court reports prior to
1885 are owned by the West Publish.

Short Course for Rural Ministers.

That the rural preacher may be-
come more efficient in his field in
proportion to the broader ~acquaint-
ance he may have with the farmers
problem is a theory which will be
tried out at the Missouri University
at Columbia, for they have arranged
a short course for country ministers
at the college of agriculture during
the week of January 3 to Z, and the
first courses given by any state insti-
tuition will be exemplified.
The special short course for rural
preachers will be given each day, be-
ginning at $3.50 o'clock in the morn
ing and ending at 3 in the afternoon.
In these talks, the rural preachers
will be given a chance to hear men
discuss rural conditions and modern
progressive movements for the better
ment of country life, as they have
learned 1t from years Of observation
and investigation. From 8 to 6 each
afternoon the rural preachers will be
given an opportunity to attend the
H~omemakers' and Rural Life Con-
ferences.

London.-The Anglo-French forces

Southern Serbia, and it is suggested
that their destination is the region
of Saloniki.
This retirement was necessitated
by the Bulgarians and Germans OPP
posed to the allies a threat of an
outflanking movement from Petrovo
where the Bulgarians have arrived,
and by danger to their line Of COM
munication from Bulgarian irregulars
who had crossed the Greek frontier.
Attack after attack was repulsed,
but the Bulgarians still came on and
each evening the allies fell back to
new positions, where events of the
day before we're repeated.
King Constantine has promised to
S his army to protect the retiring
force If they undertake to re-embark,
and has shown his good faith by pre-
venting Bulgarian raiding bands from
destroying the allies communications,
but it is doubtful whether the allies
will agree to evacuate Saloniki, which
under the guns Of their ships, would
prove a good defensive position and a
base from which other operations
could be undertaken.
