Infantile paralysis patient operated in Iowa City hospital
Alberta Lux, Hopkinton leader, youngest daughter of Mr and Mrs W C Lux, underwent an operation at the Children’s hospital in Iowa City yesterday. Doctors expect full use of her disabled hand. Alberta has been treated there for infantile paralysis. A 19 year old, Francis Fisk, worked for Wes Barr near Edgewood. He stole the employer’s car with $60 and fled with a carnival show girl to Manchester. Fisk was nabbed in Dubuque and is linked to forged checks. He may face time behind bars. Thomas Henry Burdick of Hopkinton was born June 29, 1879 and died July 10, 1922 aged 43 years 11 days after multiple strokes. He leaves four children and siblings in Delhi and Cedar Saoed.

The act authorizes Iowa to borrow 22 million dollars to fund a veterans bonus for those who served between April 6 1917 and November 11 1918 residents of Iowa and honorably discharged or still in service.
