So Divisions Gathered
at Don Elbow, Reds

BY HENRY SHAPIRO
United Press stan Correspondent

MOSCOW, Aug. 22.-Front dis
patches reported today that the
Germans have masSed an esti-
mated So divisions-possibly 800,-
900 men-on a 60-mile front at
the Don River elbow in an at
tempt TO crash through TO Stall
ingrad.
Under the weight of this great
mass of men, the dispatches said.
the bloodiest fighting of the war
was going on along the west bank
of the Don and at points on the
eastern shore where NaZi auto
matte riflemen managed to cross
the stream.
. CROSSINGS SMASHED
Two parties Of German storm
troops which reached the east
bank were said TO have been de-
stroyed.
The entire territory between
the northern and southern arms
of the Don elbow was said to be
a battle-ground and 1t was ad-
mitted that Nazi pressure slowly
was forcing the Russian defenders
back at some points.
In the Caucasus, front reports
said. NaZi reinforcements are ar
irving to swell the already large
German troop concentrations.
The Germans were pressing
hard south of Krasnodar, reports
said. despite constant counter
attacks by Soviet forces. In at
least one sector the Russians were
again forced to retreat.
COSSACKs HOLD FIRMLY
However. Cossack troops were
holding firmly at most points
against Nazi tank assaults.
In one sector two German divi-
sions and 40 tanks attempted 10
overwhelm the Soviet defense
lines but were beaten off.

southeast of Kletskaya and 40
miles west OF Stalingrad and the
Volga River line. the Germans
were doing their utmost to mop
up the west bank and establish a
foothold on the east bank. from
which they could launch a final
assault across the steppes.
TWO CROSSINGS SMASHED
The Germans already had forced
the Don twice. The first crossing
was wiped out; the second. more
than 48 hours ago, was all but
destroyed and its remnants driven
back to the very edge of the east
bank of the river.
The southern flank. northeast
Of Kotelnikovski, which is 90
miles southwest of Stalingrad, also
was in peril. There the Germans
had driven wedge of tanks into
Russian defenses. and, although

there were only few tanks. and
they were being wiped out. 'front.'

Farm Looks 10
Wood To Fill
Building Needs

Wood is going back to the farm
its draft of nearly every metal for
military service, to restore wood
to its former position a. the prin-
cipal building materials around the
farm. Mortar, bricks, and concrete
will also find wider use as farmers
D to build new structures or
repair old ones in order to fill their
share of the Nations war order for
farm products.
Farmers will be wise to use some
of their increased income now to
build needed farm structures and
to make improvements on the farm
home. As the war throws more and
more Of a load on transportation.
building materials may be hard to
get. As one government agency
advises, farmers will do well to buy
lumber for all planned construction
in advance of the need to accumu-
late a stock-pile of lumber against
future needs.
Advise Building Now
The same authority says that now
Is the time to build structures need
ed for increased production of milk,
chickens, hogs or other farm prod
ucts, to provide storage on the farm
for grain and feed crops, and to con-
struct sheds to prolong the life OF
farm machinery.
Despite reports that the shortage
Of materials makes building impos-
siblc, farmers are still able to do
much construction or repair work
around the farms with lumber. Nor
tar, and bricks are generally plenti-
full, and concrete may be used for
footings, foundations, floors, and for
silos and stock tanks. Redwood or
cypress cutters, wood lath, wood
window sash and wood shingles are,
of course, old favorites OF builders.
When the farmer can no longer
buy metal wheel barrows, Tense
posts, feed hoppers, ~stock-feeding
troughs, stock and storage tanks, or
gates, he will find excellent re-
placements made Of serviceable
wood.

shortage becomes acute, rural wo-
men are matching the patriotism o.
their sisters in industry by going
INTO farm production. Most farm
women are counting on being just
twice as busy as in peace time.
Women are taking W most OF
the farm bookkeeping. Frequently
women labor in the fields side by
side with their husbands. They are
helping with increasing amounts of
tractor and truck driving. Women
are advised to check carefully and
keep farm labor within their physi-
cal strength.
Gardening, long the woman's re-
sponsibility, insures the family food
supply as well as releasing CONNER

Women are planning to make 1912

Increases to be met in chicken and
egg production are specific parts o.
the 1912 farm goals. Here again,
women will have as first assistants
the children of the family who
