This page is primarily **advertising and promotional content** with a framing article about Judge magazine's art print series. **"A Live Wire"** is an advertisement promoting Judge's affordable art reproductions (25¢-$2.50) by prominent illustrators like James Montgomery Flagg and Charles Sarka. It's a straightforward promotional piece, not satire. **The main editorial content** is a sentimental poem titled "Filched: Mother of Five" (attributed to Edgar A. Guest). It celebrates maternal self-sacrifice—a mother who raised five children virtuously, sacrificing her beauty and personal pleasures. The poem appears designed to appeal to readers' patriotic and domestic sentiments, suggesting mothers contribute to the nation's good through child-rearing. **The humor section** includes a brief joke about a father learning arithmetic from his son's baseball averages—gentle, domestic humor. The **remaining space** contains hotel advertisements and product ads (cigars, foot powder, gems), typical of period magazine pages where editorial and advertising were heavily integrated.

Day after day she guarded little feet, Taught little minds the dangers of the street, Taught little lips to utter simple prayers; Whispered of strength that some day would be theirs, And trained them all to use it as they should, She gave her babies to the nation’s good. She mothered five! She gave her beauty—from her cheeks let fade The rose’s blushes—to her mother trade. She saw the wrinkles furrowing her brow, Yet smiling said, ‘‘My boy grows stronger now.”” When pleasures called, she turned away and said, “I dare not leave my babies to be fed By strangers’ hands; besides, they are so small, I must be near to answer when they call.’” She mothered five! Night after night they sat about her knee And heard her tell of what some day would be. From her they learned that in the world outside Are cruelty and vice and selfishness and pride; From her they learned the wrongs they ought to shun, What things to love, what work must still be done. She led them through the labyrinth of youth And brought five men and women up to truth. She mothered five! Her name may be unknown save to the ew, Of her the outside world but little knew; But somewhere five are treading virtue’s ways, Serving the world and brightening its days. Somewhere are five -who, tempted, stand upright, Clinging to honor, keeping her memory bright. Somewhere this mother toils and is alive, No more as one, but in the breasts of five. —Edgar A. Guest, in Detroit Free Press. Easy Sailing for Dad—‘‘Does your hus- band find himself puzzled when your little son asks for help in his arithmetic lesson every night?"” “Oh, not at all! After Willie taught his father how the batting averages were worked out, all the old rules that Mr. Smithers had forgotten came back to him at once.’’—St. Louis Republic.
