Fruit pits, guns, and shooting the Kaiser....

News paper clippings from 90 years ago, the end of WWI had just been announced. Seems local Iowa people hung an effigy of the Kaiser in the town square....when news of the armistice was announced, people got their guns and shot the effigy to pieces to celebrate. Not sure how they controlled the stray rounds.......my, how times have changed.
