This is primarily an **advertising page** from Judge magazine, with one substantive humor piece embedded among product advertisements. The main cartoon, "In the Swim," illustrates a joke about an ex-judge who's now a bank cashier. A stranger tries to cash a check, but the judge demands better identification—despite having previously convicted people on far less evidence. The stranger sarcastically points out this contradiction ("I've known you to hang a man on less evidence, judge"). The ex-judge's response—that hanging someone requires less rigor than giving out cash—is the satirical point: it mocks judicial carelessness and the questionable justice system, while implying that protecting money matters more than protecting innocent lives. The surrounding content consists entirely of period product advertisements (Kodak cameras, tobacco, liquor, firearms, pianos, hotels, etc.), typical of Judge's revenue model. No other editorial content or political satire appears on this page.

One day recently he refused to cash a check offered by a stranger, “The check is all right,” he said, ‘but the evidence you offer in identifying’ yourself as the person to whose order it is drawn is scarcely sufficient.” “I've known you to hang a man on less evidence, judge,” was the stranger's response. ‘* Quite likely," replied the ex-judge ; ‘* but when it comes to letting go of cold cash we have to be careful.” —Columbus En- quirer-Sun, Of exquisite flavor, pure and wholesome.
