What you’re looking at

This page is primarily **pro-alcohol advertising disguised as editorial content**. The main article uses Thomas Jefferson as a propaganda tool, falsely claiming he advocated for breweries and "moderate" beer consumption. The text fabricates a Jefferson quote endorsing brewing as a national "common" beverage—completely inventing evidence to suggest the Founding Father would oppose Prohibition. The satire targets **Prohibition advocates** through the "Lazytown Local News" section on the right, which mocks anti-alcohol activists with condescending humor (the prohibitionist buying soda pop, the joke about "hard work"). The advertisement falsely associates democratic values and the Declaration of Independence with beer consumption—equating opposition to Prohibition with American patriotism. This is a commercial manipulation of founding mythology, designed to persuade readers that voting against Prohibition laws aligns with Jefferson's vision of freedom. The page dates from the Prohibition era (1920s), when such propaganda was common.

ny i WN) | {| “Father of the Declaration of Independencé’ 'HIS_ NOBLE FOUNDER of the Democratic viet Comics himself by writing our Declaration of Independence— the document which laid the foundations of Free Government, not only for our own beloved land, but for.all the world, His country- men twice elected him President and will always treasure his memory Jefferson was the most ardent advocate of Universal Freedom of his time, and it was his wisdom and foresight which brought about the Louisiana Purchase. Every drop of his Virginia blood foved Liberty, and because he wanted ‘Americans to be assured of it for all tine he championed with all his might and main the signing of the Constitution of the United States. None of the Fathers of the Republic were more far-seeing than he and none knew better than he that a mild brew o} barley-malt and hops is truly a temperance drink. Hence, in 18:6, he wrote President Madison:“A Captain Miller is abour to settle in this country and establish a brewery. I wish to see this beverage become common’ Jefferson lived past his eighty-third year and all his life he was a moderate user of light wines and barley brews. It is unimaginable that were he alive to-day he would vote otherwise than NO to proposed tyrannous prohibition laws. For 58 years Anheuser-Busch have been brewing the kind of honest barley and hop brews which Jefferson hoped in his day to see the National beverage of Americans. Exactly such a beer is BUDWEISER. Its quality, purity, mildness and exquisite flavor have won its way to the top. To-day 7500 people are daily required to meet the public demand. Its sales exceed any other beer by millions of bottles. ANHEUSER-BUSCH : ST. LOUIS.U.S.A.

Lazytown Local News A PROHIBITIONIST stopped over here a few minutes yesterday. He made no demonstration, and after buying a bottle of soda pop, went on his way. As some people have so much more hair on their heads than others, Dock Hocks, our tonsorial artist, will hereafter cut jt at ten cents per peck. Cricket Hicks, who has held the impor. tant job of ringing the bell at the Dog Hill church every third Sunday, has complained of the hard work. In compliance with the complaint, the deacons met and changed the date of services until the fourth Sunday, which will give him a week’s rest each month. Raz Barlow took Miss Rosy Moseley to the Dog Hill church last second Sunday, but the buggy rattled so she could not hear half he said. On last Friday night Sim Flinders saw a star fall in the vicinity of the Wild Onion schoolhouse and left immediately in that direction. As he always gets what he goes after, he is expected back with it to-morrow, The post-office is beginning to sag in front, and it is feared that the mail-order catalogues will have to be moved to the rear, Dock Hocks, our enterprising blacksmith, says the man who sits down too much wears out both his pants and his welcome. The annual spring droves of jaybirds are flocking in daily. Atlas Peck, having noth- ing else to occupy his mind, started in to take a census of them as they arrived, by making marks on a sheet of paper; but Frisby Hancock came along, and by trying to ring in two or three bluebirds, got him mixed up. A home-talent play to be given by the lodge is to come off at Wild Onion in the near future. There is supposed to be a real battleship in the third act, but a substitute will have to be used. The waters in Gander Creek are getting so low they can hardly flow up the hill just this side of Bounding Billows. Tobe Moseley has been in a deep study for the past few days, trying to think up some right good name for his new dog. The Wild Onion school teacher is study- ing the dictionary this week, picking out some big words to use when the trustees visit the school next Friday afternoon. Washington Hocks spent most of the week at Tickville, buying a bushel of turnip seed. He took his time and sorted them out, in order to get only the best ones. By not having to keep a fire going in his stove this summer, the old miser has fig- ured it out that he will save enough wood to run him all winter. —George Bingham.
