YANkS IN BIG RUSH CAN SEE
INTO GERMANY II MILES AWAY

WITH THE AMERICAN ARMIES,
Nov. 5.-The Americans advanced
nearly four miles against severe re-
sistance in a sudden lunge along the
Meuse, crossing the river at Brieulles
and Clery-Le-Petit, where. unoer ex-
tremely heavy fire the American en-.
gineers threw pontoon bridges across.
Over these the doughboys poured in
great numbers. driving the germans
from the east bank between Dun and
Brieulles. and pushing them back to
ward the great Woeyre forest
Driving ahead despite increasing re.
sistance. the American First army
closed the famous Stenay gap. and

there the fankee boys can now look
across the heights south of Beau.
mont into german territory eleven
miles away.
Since Saturday they have advanc,
ed eighteen miles on a twenty-mile
rfont. They have captured La Neu-
vile. just across the Meuse from
Stenay.
In a desperate effort to stay the
progress of the Americans, the ger.
mans are piling great masses of re
serves into the narrow front They are
also concentrating their airplanes
This makes fine targets for the Am
ericans. who have downed over a
hundred german planes within the
past four days.
The latest American advance was
three miles, and they occupied Laneu
vile and Meaumont heights. They
are only ten miles from Sedan. They

MORE WHEAT IN BIN
LESS ON THE GROUND

That any wheat-grower can save
enough wheat to pay for new team
of horses year simply by putting tin
strips over the knotholes in the floor
of his wheat barge" and by fastening
a canvas strip three inches wide all
around the sides OF the barge next to
the floor, is the belief of L. II. Rust
prominent insurance man and rancher
OF Weld county, who has himself tried
out the wheat-saving scheme
AS the header moves along the
wheat field and the grain is thrown
into the barge, considerable of the
grain heads sift through the loose lat
tice-work of the barges' sides and sift
out also through knot holes in the
floor OF the barge. Mr.. Rust declares.

a trail of wheat behind 1t as 1t moves

The canvas strip fastened firmly to
the floor Of the barge and extending
from three to six inches up the sides
would hold all the wheat heads in.
