The fire also got into the Meloy farm, burning about an acre of standing grain; s I bo into the O. P.

The Bruce Kee combine was work ing in the direct line of the fire, but by setting the horses to a gallop the machine was taken out of danger. Men from Moro went to the fire in autos and the train, after leaving most of its crew at the fire, made a trip to Grass Valley for more fire fighters and wet sacks. Considering the possibilities and extent of the blaze the damage was nominal. Presbyterian Church Announcements Moro Church for August 15th Sunday School, 10 a. m. Preaching, 11 a. m.
