Ames Fourth Festivities and Local News Highlights
Local residents spent the Fourth in Ames with visits from Miss Inez Hunter and Miss Lizzie Corbin, and reports of travel by Mr. and Mrs. Frank Fowler and others. Boone beat Ames 13 to 9 in baseball, while a three day summer festival drew crowds for races, a parade, and a main address by J. Percival Hugget. The Iowa State College picnic and hospital charity efforts continued, with residents urged to join the Ames Hospital Guild and support the Des Moines hospital drive.
