What you’re looking at
This page from Judge contains mostly **advertisements and short humorous pieces** rather than political cartoons with clear satirical targets. The notable content includes: **"Die deutsche Nummer!" section**: A small illustration and advertisement promoting Judge's upcoming German-language issue. The "Confidential" joke plays on readers secretly wanting to read German content—likely referencing World War I tensions when German culture faced suspicion in America. The humor suggests interest in German culture persisted despite wartime attitudes. **Other pieces**: Light comedy sketches like "Puzzled" (about women's fashion hiding money), "Grandfathers" (generational humor about grandchildren), and "X-raiment" (a joke about transparent clothing). **Advertisements**: Wells Fargo travelers' checks and Evans' Ale dominate the page's commercial space. The German-language section appears to be the only content with potential contemporary relevance—reflecting either pre-war cosmopolitanism or ironic post-war attitudes toward German culture, though the exact historical moment is unclear without a publication date.

Still the purse they must bear— Now I wonder, where? Such the dresses they wear, And summer is sunny. Now I wonder where They can hide their money! —Stokely S. Fisher Grandfathers ‘ ‘| HAVE a grandchild three and a half years old,’’ said an elderly man, “‘and he’s a corker!’’ “Mine,’’ said another elderly man, ‘‘is four years old, and he’s a little wonder !"’ “Mine strikes me three times a day for said the first, ‘‘and he gets it.’” “‘Mine wanted money,”’ said the sec- ond, ‘‘but he wanted it to buya flag. He said the other boys had flags, and I kind of liked him for that. Patrio’ eh? He didn’t want it for candy or h, and so I gave him a dollar and told him to get a silk flag."” “Mine uses bad language if I don’t give him money,’’ responded the other. “T gave it to him three times a day, and when I refused the fourth time, he called me an old fool.’” “Oh, he didn’t mean it that way, may- be. Boys, you know, will be boys.’’ All of which would indicate that grand- children are as popular with grandfathers as children are with fathers. X-raiment One summer morning, bright and fair, I saw that which caused me to stare. I curbed a strong desire to run— There passed, between me and the sun, Dolled up in white, a simple miss. Ingenuous was she—from this, If fairly wise, you may infer It was no trick to see through her! —Dan Shea.
