Armistice celebration causes controversy and land sales noted

The article surveys a mosaic of postwar events from Waterloo where a mayor faced criticism over a kiss during armistice celebrations to farm land sales connected to Camp Dodge. It cites federal land payments, honors for Ray Kennedy with a Victoria Cross, and remarks on labor strikes, coal shortages, and public opinion on opportunity and employment. It mentions Norway's prohibition move, wool stockpiles, a buffalo feast at Armistice Day, and Germany seeking 150,000 American cows.
