This page is primarily **advertising and humor filler** rather than political satire. The main content includes: **The Carlsbad of America (top):** An advertisement for French Lick Springs Hotel in Indiana, a health resort marketed as America's equivalent to the famous European spa town Carlsbad. It promotes the mineral waters' curative properties and the resort's recreational amenities, capitalizing on wartime travel restrictions that prevented Americans from visiting Europe. **Studio of Pictorial Art (center/bottom):** A vocational school advertisement emphasizing that cartooning requires formal training under Grant E. Hamilton, a professional illustrator. This speaks to early-20th-century professionalization of comic art. **Right column:** Unrelated humorous anecdotes about everyday situations—an Irish accident victim, courtroom testimony, Noah building an ark, and a servant's practicality—typical light filler material for satirical magazines of the era. The page reflects Judge's mixed business model: combining advertisements with short jokes and humorous stories to fill space between political cartoons.

Old Noah—When old Noah began build- ing his boat, the landlubbers, the frog-pond croakers, called him crazy. They proclaimed that the ship carpenter was off his base. These harpers and critics said old Noah was a bug. They said that the very fact he was building an ark would bring on a flood. Preparation would start something. Some time after that, and while Captain Noah sat on the bow of his boat, his self- respect seemed to increase, and he often wondered just what had become of his critics, —The Silent Partner.” His Useful Head—A Washington man has in his employ a faithful but at times stupid servant in the person of an old darky Lcke. ntly, when the employer had vainly endeavored to get something done in a cer- ii y, he gave up in despair, exclaiming: eke! Zeke! Whatever do you think your head is for?” Zeke, who evidently thought that this was another of the troublesome questions that his employer was always asking, pon- dered it deeply.
