AMES SURRENDERS ALL TO HUNDREDS OF ARMY MEN WHO VISITED HERE - 
...The third contingent of soldiers will arrive here this evening shortly after 5 o'clock and a plate dinner will be served to them.  In this bunch there will be 442 soldiers coming from the north.  A hearty welcome greeted the men as they arrived in Ames today.  A fife and drum corps represented the spirit of '76, connected with that of 1917.  Flags waved and the streets were decorated with the national colors...
