Des Moines editors describe a packed opening session of the Iowa Press Association in the Register building. Highlights include talks by W. C. D Arcy on clean advertising and a stirring address by Captain Paul Perigord of the French army on Franco American ties. The program featured music by a quartet, papers on official publicity, a tour of Fort Des Moines, and remarks by Senator H. M. Smith. New officers were elected and a spirit of patriotism and camaraderie permeated the proceedings.
