Editorial Short Course and Local Inventions Highlight Iowa News
The Ames editorial short course led by Prof. Beckman drew editors from Iowa, praising college faculties andAgricultural training while praising Des Moines speakers Harvey Ingham and Lafe Young as top orators. Waukon reports Hans Johnson's rifle invention, adaptable to shotguns and other tools, with simple breach lock and reload. Other notes cover a youth offender facing reform school, and Grandpa Huskamp’s seventieth birthday celebration with carnations and a ceremonial cake.
