A page discusses a road bond issue with arguments for and against, urging voters to study the problems carefully before voting. It notes a two sided presentation and a questionnaire on another page to clarify aspects of the issue.
The writer recalls a morning encounter with two visitors from an upstate county asking the way to Malvern. They seemed earnest but unaware this Malvern lies in southwest Iowa, a town with resources and business vitality needing local promotion and positive word of mouth to draw travelers and visitors.
A reminiscence on the recent comet sighting prompts reflections on Earth and its people. The writer notes Pons-Wennecke's distant view of Earth from the polar region and imagines how he might judge Son Sol's planetary family, Pacific smoke, air traffic, and human oddities from afar.

In Malvern a renewed effort to form a permanent Bay Scout group is announced. J. C. Dawson will read the meeting note and Supt. A. J. Rotrbaugh will be scout master, with several leaders needed.

DARTING CHOATE AND BOEHNER discuss the Bond Issue. If Mills County votes bonds for paving, there is no definite assurance of timing. The state highway commission makes no promises on total mileage, start date, or upkeep costs. The proposal would pave thirteen and fractional miles at current costs, with existing contracts guaranteeing thirty-one miles of roads in 1928 if bonds fail. Depreciation and interest would raise upkeep, potentially to over $2,400 per mile annually, making the plan costly and uncertain.
