Otley Family Reunions and Winter Troubles
Otley residents held Christmas reunions at Frazer and Van Gorp homes with about sixty people from Otley and nearby towns. Winter storms damaged cars and wires, delaying travel as sleet and plummeting temperatures persisted. Local schools and churches resumed activities amid a two week vacation and church services.

Iowa Farmers Gauge Livestock and Market Shifts in 1923
A Jarnag survey highlights Davis county sheep and turkey outputs, Clarke county horse shipments, and Lucas county timothy seed leadership. It notes turkey prices fell amid warm weather and a weak Des Moines market, while egg prices dropped due to abundance. The piece covers Okoboji camp theft losses, park visitation, and local public notices plus broader Iowa farm trends and infrastructure.

Lighting the Barnyard Service of electricity on farms
The piece notes that farm electrification yields valued outdoor lighting beyond home use. It cites an Ohio farmer with three yard lights, one over the garage and one on each barn side, enabling light nearly anywhere at the flip of a switch. He now values the extra illumination and utility beyond initial expectations. Gambell's Winter goods offer.
