Harvey Fire Fiend Devastates Iowa Town
Harvey Iowa March 23 A fiery streak likened to a fiend has struck the town five times weakening its growth. The Wilson sand and gravel company is the only major unit rebounding, while Loynachan oil plant and John Mathews handle personal affairs as a neighbor battles illness. The carnival funded a school piano and Bird Day is planned, yet dry weather slows farm work and birds avoid foul weather. The arboretum hosts visitors hoping for summer display as church protracted services continue and local entertainment includes vaudeville acts at the Orpheum theater with Mary Astor and Robert Ames in Behind Office Doors and a slate of performers from Girls in Tone land to Clyde Hager and Osaka Boys.
