Repeater stations and county notes flash across Iowa news
A telegraphic note from the General Motors line says no other buggy sold in any Iowa county last week while a rumor about Bennington and a Harness trust could not be verified. Bell Telephone builds a Poweshiek Ewart repeater station valued near 300000, with 89 booster sites statewide. Other items include a counterfeit warrant tale from Winterset, State Fair youth contests, and local social notes from Monticello, Center Junction, and nearby towns.
