What you’re looking at

This page consists primarily of **advertisements and brief humor pieces** rather than political cartoons. The main content includes: **Humor Pieces:** Short anecdotes about rural life, business ethics, and courtship—typical of early 20th-century American humor magazines. These are largely self-explanatory jokes about farmers, shoe merchants, and romantic promises. **Advertisements:** The page features ads for Hunter Baltimore Rye whiskey, Hotel Earlington in New York, White Gems (synthetic diamonds), Sunny Brook whiskey, and a Studio of Pictorial Art offering drawing instruction. **Small cartoon:** One simple line drawing shows two men labeled "Close Quarters" from Yale Record—likely a college humor reference to cramped living conditions. The page reflects *Judge*'s format: mixing satirical commentary on American society with commercial advertising. The humor targets working-class life, small-town commerce, and romantic relationships—typical subjects for this era's satirical publications. There are no specific political figures or major social movements referenced here.

Mustard - oe Passing the On the Farm—‘‘What do you want with all those hammocks and phonograph rec- ords and fancy groceries?” asked the storekeeper. ‘‘Going to have summer boarders?” “No,” replied Farmer Corntossel. ‘‘I wouldn't waste all them on summer board- ers. I'm tryin’ to make the place attract- ive enough to persuade a few farmhands to linger around an’ help me out with the wheat crop."’—Kansas City Journal. ‘A Subterfuge —‘‘No,”’ said the old gen- tleman sternly, ‘‘I will not doit. Never have I sold anything by false representa- tions, and I will not begin now. It is an inferior grade of shoe, and I will never pass it off as anything better. Mark it ‘a Shoe Fit for a Queen’ and put it in the window. A queen does not have to do much walking.’’—New York Globe. How He Would Regard It—Yankee—If some one were so ill-advised as to call you a liar, colonel, in what light would you regard the act? Yentucky colonel—I would regard it simply as a form of suicide, sah.—Dallas News. Next!—‘I’d like to rent your hall, please.”” “What for?"’ “Well, you see, we're organizing a fra- ternal society called the Sons of Moving Picture Veterans of the Mexican War."’ Musical Courier. . Why She Was Noisvy—‘‘ Your daughter plays some very robust pieces. ’” “She’s got a beau in the parlor,’’ growled Pa Wombat, ‘‘and that loud music is to drown the sound of her mother washing the dishes.""—Pittsburgh Post. He Promised, but—‘‘ You must promise me one thing before I will consent to marry you.’” “Anything !"" “You must spend as many evenings with me after we are married as you do now.’’—Houston Post. i.
