This page mixes advertisements and brief humorous anecdotes. The main cartoon/story is "EFFICACY PLUS PRAYER," which presents a moral lesson: young Ethel prays to God to destroy her brother's bird traps, but then admits she already smashed them herself. The joke satirizes childhood logic—the girl uses prayer as cover for her own direct action, revealing both innocent cunning and the gap between pious words and actual deeds. The "BORROWINGS" anecdote mocks a newspaper editor's complaints about stolen tools, sarcastically suggesting borrowed items be returned "without our consent" to the back yard. "ACTIVITY" is a brief visual gag about American imperial possessions—one character notes the sun never sets on U.S. territories; the other quips they're always rising and setting anyway, deflating imperial boasting. The remaining content is advertising (Peres Chartreux liqueur, Grape-Nuts cereal, McIlhenny's sauce, etc.), typical of Judge's revenue model.

EFFICACY PLUS PRAYER. Ethel, one of New Hampshire's seven- year-old daughters, is devoted to the birds. She was enraged at her older | brother, whose keenest enjoyment seemed to be to trap them. She pleaded with him and scolded him, but all to no effect. | So Ethel took a new tack. When prayer-time came the other eve! ing her mother heard this final petition added to those which dealt directly with the spiritual and material welfare of the ‘An’, dear God, please smash "s nasty traps, tor Jesus’ sake, THE LIQUEUR LIQUEUR OF OF POLITE POLITE SOCIETY SOCIETY all Will Amen «Ethel, dear,” said mother, seriously, “do you ‘really think that last is a nice WILSIN % | thing to ask God to do?
