Weather analysis from the Iowa Bureau notes January 1928 started cold with subzero readings across much of Iowa, then warmed to record highs by the 10th driven by Chinook conditions. It cites historic Iowa temperatures with Washta 1912 and Farmersburg 1857 as extreme lows, and reflects on optimistic views about taxation and marriage advice.

A discussion debunks the notion that a preacher's son or Sunday School records predict future behavior. It argues that hasty generalizations arise from isolated cases and that scholastic success does not guarantee worldly success. The piece notes Young Hickman erred despite his school records, not because of them.
Readers are urged to expect a flood of political guesses from writers and politicians as the presidential election nears. Most forecasts will be worthless, yet some believers will persist despite proven errors, as exemplified by Charles D. Hilles and past Bryan predictions being repeated.
