Ayers Asks For More
Duck Season; Denied

The federal biological survey
has denied the request of Gov
ernor Roy F. Ayers for an extra
duck season from December 1
to IS to give Montana hunters
a chance to get in on the an
nual northern flights. Ira NJ,
Gabrielson, chief of the federal
bureau, said he could not grant
the request because it would be
establishing precedent and 9TH
er states would want extra
seasons. Governors of several
other states also wired the ag-
ency for extra seasons.
Duck hunting in Montana
this season was the poorest in
many years because of the
warm weather, according to
heads of the fish and game
department. The season origin
ally was set for October % to
December S, but was changed to
October l TO November IA after
numerous sportSmen's organi-
cations asked the state depart
ment to request a change.

PRAIRIE FIRE
SWEEPS REGION
CL0SET0 WY0LA
Blaze Destroys Winter
Posture. Hoy; Several
Ronch Houses

A prairie fire which swept
rapidly through cured grasses
in the region near Wyola
caused an uneStimated damage
yesterday.
Thought to have been start
ed when a 'grass-fire got out OF
control on Lodge Grass creek
the flames cracked rapidly
through the dry ranges, crossed
the range of hills between the
creek and the Little Big Horn
valley, and for a time threat
ened the town of Wyola, itself.
It is thought that between 80
and 40 thousand acres were
burned over, and a check-up
is now being made. Heaviest
losses were in hay stored IN
stacks for winter feed and IN
the destroying of the winter
pasture for livestock.
No loss of life or serious in
Jury has been reported, it was
stated. A telephone call to the
Tschirgi ranch, which was IN
the path of the blaze, revealed
that the fire was completely
under control this morning, and
that only a few places were
burning. Ranchers were able to
save their livestock.
An eyewitness said that the
flames reached a height OF
eight and ten feet in places
where the grass was especial
~ thick. The many burning
haystacks continued to smould-
er long after the conflagration
had moved en-.
One informant revealed that
the fire came within a mile OF
Wyola before a change in wind
sent it raging up the Little
Big Horn valley.
Yesterday afternoon, Wyola
citizens called Attorney c. G..
Quinn here asking him to help
get them assistance. He wire i
Senator Burton K. Wheeler in
Washington, and the senator
contacted the director of the
Civilian Conservation Corps In
the national capital, with the
result that boys from the Day.
ton CCC camp were ordered to
the scene of the blaze immed-
lately. They began arriving in
the late afternoon, and were
instrumental in quickly exiting
uishing and controlling the
flames.
Ordinarily, the portion burned
over would Recovered with snow
at this time of year. Brush and
range grass were like finder and
a high wind also helped the
blaze to spread rapidly.

Campbell Talks
AT KiWunis Club

Thomas D. Campbell, promi-
nent wheat rancher of the
county and we'll known
throughout the nation, was the
guest speaker at the regular
meeting of the KiWanis club
Wednesday noon.
Mr.. Campbell's talk covered
wheat loans, the war situation
and conditions in America.
Regarding wheat loans, Mr.
Campbell sa!d, 1.-THE loaning of
money on wheat in storage
gives the borrower a sense of
security not enjoyed for sew
eral years, and it is also an
honest attempt on the part of
the, government to create and
give tariff equality.
ITO my way of thinking it is
a constructive piece of legisla-
ton, for when we consider that
there are around $4,000, 900
people dependent upon agricul-
ture in various forms, for in
come, these people must be Civ
en- help or we all must suffer.
It is a fair loan value based
on average price of the COM
modify"
The speaker told of his ex-
perienceS in Europe and the
insight gained through obser-
walton and contacts. He ex-
planned the psychology back
OF Hitler'S movements in Ger
many, the execution of treaties
and alliances and the eventual
position of the Nazi government
in world politics, and also dis
cussed the attempts made and
final creation of semi-checkS
and balances against the
French and British govern
ments. He described the back
ground leading to the present
war and ire alliance between
Germany and Russia.
In speaking of conditions
here, Mr.. Campbell states,
There are many menaces IN
America called 'isms' but so
long as we continue to have our
grand educational systems we
never need to fear.
when we look at the last
election returns we find that
various 'isms' entered the field
through candidates, but out OF
Al million votes, these organ
izations received only about a
quarter of a million ballo:s.
This is indeed remarkable
iooido~t o,,s1 FORMS 1yo rSctick
by which to measure lsmS.
Faith in DIR country, courage
and belief will earn for us a
continuance of freedom not en-
joyed by any other nation.
You and I are the govern
ment, you and I are voters and
so long as we exercise our priv
ileges, we can assure ourselves
of life and liberty"
Out-of-Jown Kiwanians who
were present included w. G.
