Ten Dollars Short as Banker Counts Depositor's Money
A Homestead Farm item by Alvin C C Hasty notes a dealer counted $1100 in cash for a sale but the banker later claimed $10 was missing. The piece blends drought woes in Iowa with local agriculture, livestock needs, weather swings, and a vivid memory of slow pioneer travel versus modern car speed. It mentions Otto Novey and Rotenburger brothers seeking water for cattle, drought conditions, and shifts in tax road work under July hot weather. It also recounts a local patient, Carle Emde, after spinal issues and a dramatic road speed comparison from pioneer ox teams to a car.
