THRESHERMEN
ARE URGED TO
SAVE WHEAT BY STARTING OUT
WITH MACHINES IN REPAIR
BOOKS MUST BE KEPT.

The United States Food Admins
tration requests that each thresher
operating in Christian county must
keep a book showing.
Every bushel Of wheat treshed
by them.
For whom threshed.
3-Date Of threshing.
Quantity as thresherman sees
IL.
5-what disposition made Of crop,
il thresherman knows il. At the end
Of the season this book must be sent
TO the County Food Administrator.
We believe we can save several
millions Of bushels Of wheat this year
by arranging that all machines 90
/ into harvest in excellent repair, with
ample power and that during the har-
vest they are efficiently adjusted to
meet varying conditions, so that q
minimum Of grain is blown into the
straw pile. II is figured that this at
tention will save l and half =, Ssels
in every hundred threshed.
Then again IL is figured that an
extra bushel can be saved in every
hundred threshed by arranging that
all machines are in such repair thai
very little grain leaks under anc
around them on to the ground ane
that what does leak out in this man
) ner, and is otherwise scattered abou
the machine, shall be cleaned up ans
, threshed before the machine leave
the field.
! Three fourths Of a bushel can ais
be saved in every hundred threshe'
: by careful handling Of bundles iron

n and by arranging tight bottoms to tn

NO CHANGE ON WAR FRONT
SINCE BEGINNING OF WEEK.
Feeling Prevails That Battle ON Huge
Scale VIII Be Resumed Very Soon
Both Sides Strengthening.

Although the lighting activity along
the entire front of the new Somme Of
fensive remains slight, there still pre-
walls the feeling that battles on a
large scale will begin again soon, with
the allied troops, after the respite of
several days. strongly arrayed in
battle formation and eager to test their
strength against that of the foe.
From the Somme to the Disc river,
along that portion of the battle line
which bulges out toward Amiens, ALLY
and Breteuil, the big guns of the op-
posing side have opened in duels of
great proportions, and it apparently
is not unreasonable to assume that
either side at any moment may take
the offensive with their infantry in
resumption of battle which ranks
among the greatest the world has ever
seen.
Since the beginning Of the present
week there has been no marked
change in the alignment of the oppos-
ing sides from Arras southwark to
Chauny The lighting has lacked the
sanguinary character of the previous
days, owing in part, no doubt to the
extremely bad weather conditions.
Neither the Germans nor the allies
have been idle. however. for daily
movements have been going on for
reinforcement of strategic positions.
both in man and gun power, for the
coming engagements upon which it is
conceded so much depends for the
victories.
In the vicinity of Lens artillery
duels of intensity have been revived
on some sectors and in Belgium al
various points reciprocal shelling con.
tinues. In both these regions. how
ever, the infantry has kept to the
trenches, except for reconnoiterina
purposes.
