Americans who are now making
supreme sacrifices to serve the

Business Affairs: Communi-
ties should seek TO become as

economically and financially.
There should be efficient CO

In Western Ukraine, which he
has conquered, the harvest came
month late. and the Germans
found most OF the crops stand

region are large state or col

The managers and their stats
departed at the outbreak of
hostilities. leaving only unskill-
ed workers behind. Practically
all agricultural machinery was
destroyed or removed by the re-

are faced with the problem of
gathering the crops with only
