ASK FOR HELP
FOR FINLAND

The American Red Cross is
already taking steps to relieve
distress in Finland, it was
learned here recently through
a letter from Norman H. DAVIS,
national Red Cross chairman to
Stanley A. Yergey, chairman OF,
the Big Horn chapter.
Mr.. Davis said in part, In
addition to the war relief needs
already being met by the Am
erican Red Cross, the invasion
of Finland has created add
tional widespread suffering
among thosands of helpless
men, women ana children,
which will become increasingly
tragic as winter advances. There
are emergency needs for medl-
cal, HOSPITAL and other supplies
and assistance. The Red Cross
has already made initial ship
ments of medicine, but needs
funds for future increasing
needs The Red Cross Will
receive and administer contri-
buttons designated for Finnish
relief and all funds so deS-
ignated will be applied wholly
to that purpose.
&c. The American Red
Cross continues to welcome
contributions designated for re-
lief for war sufferers of all
nations already invilved in con-
fict."

Second Fire
Starts Sunday
Pruirie Blaze Burns
Over Area on Lodge
Gross Creek

The second prairie fire in
Big Horn county within a week
Laid waste in a large grazing
and farming area on Lodge
Grass creek Sunday and Mon
day.
The blaze was first noticed
about six O'Clock Sunday night,
and was already making rapid
Roadway. Ranchers of the vi
entity attempted to check the
flames at once, but a high wind
made fire-fighting difficult.
Boys from the CCC camp at
Dayton, Wyo., were called, but
the fire was under control in
many places when they arrived,
it was stated ebH one OF the
Lodge Grass fire fighters.
The flames covered an area
from the Willow Creek dam to
Chicken crossing, about seven
miles above the town of Lodge
Grass. RancherS said it was
difficult to estimate the exact
amount of ground burned over,
as the path of the blaze was
irregular.
No homes were lost, though
a few small out-buildings were
burned. No livestock had been
caught according to those who
checked up afterwards.
The origin of the blaze was
not definitely known. Some
attributed it to a; SmOuldering
fence post or hay-stack from
the Wyola fire last week.
