Harskamp deportation and clan growth in Iowa tales
A Des Moines column details Mrs. Harskamp's deportation to Holland after a hospital stay for mental illness and the family's plan to join her with help from friends. It also covers county court actions over dangerous substances, a chair once owned by Washington, pheasant hunting charges, Klansman mobilization, and scientific work at Lake Okoboji with new plant forms.
