What you’re looking at
This page consists primarily of **short humor pieces and advertisements** rather than political cartoons. The title "What the Scissors Found" indicates these are clipped anecdotes—likely from newspapers—that Judge republished for satirical comment. The humor pieces mock various social absurdities: - **Child labor joke**: A harbor board member naively proposes replacing two buoys with one boy, missing the irony that this *is* child labor. - **Simplified spelling**: A jab at the Progressive-era simplified spelling movement (note "Providence" without the final 'e'). - **Gender humor**: Women and girls are portrayed as quarrelsome and poor shots (can't throw stones accurately). - **Chicago dialect**: A joke about Chicago's struggle to find a masculine equivalent for "Miss." The page also features **substantial advertisements** for Philip Morris cigarettes, Underberg Bitters, Cook's Golden Jubilee Champagne, and Hotel Titchfield in Jamaica—indicating this is a commercial publication balancing editorial content with revenue. No specific political figures are caricatured; the satire targets generic social pretensions and contemporary fads.

Fifty years ago, in Cook's Imperial Extra Dry Champaxne, American ingenuity solved the problem of producing, on thia side of the Atlantic, a cham- pagne which, in point of flavor, bouquet, life and sparkle, equaled the best of foreign wines. | Prior to that time it was the popular belief that only xrapes krown on the hills of France and Spain Pommessed the necessary qualifications for wine ‘ing and that only the wine makers of Southern !urope understood the art of pressing the juice from grapes and converting it into sparkling cham- pagne. American wine growers, however, were not slow toprove the fallacy of that belief. In certain sec- tions of the country the soil and climatic conditions | were found to be ideal for the cultivation of wine making grapes, and it ia now a generally accepted fact that the grapes grown in some of those favored localities surpass in juiciness and flavor the finest foreign specimens, One of tho first champagnes made from these luseiou tic grapes was Cook's Imperial. That in 1469, It was an excellent champagne then ; it ina better champagne today, for it ia.a well-known, fact that champagne quality Improves with the age of the vineyard. Cook's Imperial has bee~ made from grapes grown in the same vineyard for tho past half century, during which time it has con- stantly grown in popular favor. ‘The makers of this moat excellent champagne have good reason to feel proud of the splendid recon! it has made during the past fifty years, and the Golden Jubilee of Cook's Imperial Extra Dry Cham- pagne is noteworthy aa being another indication of | American skill and progress.
