What you’re looking at
This page is primarily **advertising**, not editorial content. The main feature is a full-page Nujol advertisement promoting an internal lubricant as a constipation treatment—Standard Oil Company's medical product. The left side contains "Celluloid Sonnets" by Olga Petrova, a silent-film actress of the era. The poem playfully celebrates her desirability, with the joke that the "greatest cinch" (easiest job) would be "getting paid for making love to you"—referring to her film work and public appeal. Below are brief humorous filler items typical of *Judge* magazine: puns about doctors, railroads, and old age that require no special historical knowledge. The remaining advertisements (Piedmont Red Cedar Chests, a "Sexual Knowledge" book, Mountain Park Hotel) represent typical early 20th-century magazine advertising. **The satire here is minimal**—this is primarily a commercial vehicle showcasing ads and light entertainment rather than political commentary.

I would not envy any lucky scout Nor covet any man his snap, it's true: But if I did, “twere easy to pick out The guy whose job my envy should pursue: The greatest “cinch” on earth, beyond all doubt Is getting paid for making love to you!

Railroad Racket An old railroad man sat with a friend on tel piazza as a string of chappies went by in their ashy togs. “Passengers or freight?” smiled the friend. “Empties,” said the old man. Sere and Yellow “Uncle Totterly is a very old man,” said thelandlord of the Petunia tavern. “In fact, he dates so far back into dim antickerty that he can actually remember the time when this town didn’t need a new depot.” The Reason They asked him why he wandered wide ‘er the earth did roam. “Because,” the sodden wretch replied, “There is no place like home.” Birthday Greetings From Madrid comes the twenty-fifth an- of our valued contempo ro.
