To the editor: The American flag: “only the state flag goes on the pole under the American flag. The state flag can go on another pole with banners under it. Any other way is a disgrace to the flag. Will the Trump workers that took the sign I had in my yard please return it. Michael Madsen Fort Dodge
To the editor: The two-year-old Prestage Foods of Iowa processing plant stimulates Eagle Grove’s local economy. On a positive note, congratulations are in order for Wright County Economic Development, Bryce Davis (Eagle Grove city manager) in particular, Wright County Board of Supervisors, state and local officials and interested bystanders.

To the editor: In four years we have seen our nation fracture along imaginary lines drawn by an administration determined to keep us at each other’s throats when we should be pulling together to fight common enemies like a very deadly virus, poverty, racial injustice, and unequal health care access. Joe Biden is just the person to unite us to overcome these challenges. As president he will fight for all of us rather than working to keep us fighting each other. We have lost 190,000 loved ones to COVID-19 in six months and we are headed toward 300,000 lost lives. Joe Biden will ...
