The Star's Platform for Hope City and Hempstead County
The Star urges applying municipal power plant revenues to Hope's development, expanding pavement in 1929, improving alley sanitation, and backing the Chamber of Commerce. It backs a county highway program to build all weather roads yearly, supports scientific agriculture for Hempstead County, promotes farmer organizations, backs state highway progress, tax reform, and efficient government via a budget system, while seeking Arkansas cattle tick relief.

Dawn of a new era for aviation and towns on air routes
The piece notes that over two years $300 million has been spent on airports by more than 1000 communities and an estimated $200 million more will be spent by about 1000 communities in the coming year.

Washington Letter on federal jobs and politics in Washington
The Washington Letter notes job conditions as many seek federal work through the Federal Employment Service on Pennsylvania Avenue. Registrations fell from 80,000 to 61,000 year over year, with placements rising to 32,650 from 27,105 as private contractors handle building work. A Peruvians Order of the Sun tale contrasts with U S building delays and a Democratic publicity bureau under Michelson and Shouse driving tariff critique.

Incoherent musings mix politics sport and a wedding
