This page showcases Judge's amateur art contest with prize-winning cartoons alongside whiskey advertising. The winning cartoons employ typical early-20th-century humor: **First Prize** depicts "Supply and Demand"—an ostrich hoping her children grow quickly to profit from wartime price inflation, satirizing profiteering during (likely WWI-era) shortages. **Second Prize**, "Back to the Farm," shows a dog preferring rural life to city streets, reflecting nostalgic agrarian sentiment. **Third Prize** features various gag cartoons, including one about "bone of contention" and another about incomplete artwork. The page also includes ethnic humor stereotypes typical of the period (the Cohen/Bernstein dialogue about fire extinguishers filled with kerosene). The I.W. Harper whiskey advertisement emphasizes "American Water for American People"—likely nationalist branding common during the Prohibition era or wartime patriotism.
