Contests Drive Legion Growth Amid Iowa City Rivals
In Des Moines and Sioux City a heated push to enroll World War veterans in the American Legion unfolds with August as the closing target. Across Iowa, canning plans curb acreage with Sac City contracting 750 acres and Storm Lake planting Country Gentleman corn while Grimes ships down to two factories. Memorial Day ceremonies along the Des Moines river honor the unknown dead as troops and veterans attend, and Amana mills expand wool bedding production while peony farming and Tolstoi’s Des Moines social presence draw interest.
