Greatest Homecoming in Estherville History
Estherville marked its greatest day with a multi part celebration featuring Dave Flannigan’s rifle prowess, a seven inning Rock Island juniors over American Legion baseball, a large bowery dance by Topsy Turvey of Des Moines, and a major fireworks show. Wrestling matches pitting Cyclone Ben Reeves and Jepson drew cheers while crowds, estimated between 12 000 and 25 000, packed the city. Organizers led by E C Strube earned praise for smooth operation and broad cooperation with Rock Island boys and locals, delivering a three ring circus of free acts and attractions. The event boosted Estherville’s profile, promised future big gatherings, and left thousands eager to return. The Public Pose notes and a society novel aside conclude the day’s festive vibe.

Iowa Farm Bureau Denies Coal Pool Plan Report

Secretary Cunningham notes no Iowa meeting or official report has been presented, and the federation opposes merchandising schemes, focusing on selling rather than buying.
