What you’re looking at
This page from **Judge** (September 1917) is primarily a **title/contents page** announcing the upcoming issue, with secondary material including advertisements and humorous filler content. **Main Content:** The page advertises Judge's next cover by illustrator **Orson Lowell**, titled "Convoyed"—a reference to **WWI convoy systems** protecting ships from German submarines. The masthead emphasizes the Great War as "the dominant subject," reflecting Judge's focus on contemporary military events. **The humor sections** ("Passing the Mustard") contain brief jokes typical of the era: domestic absurdities, golf frustration, and mild social satire. One notable item addresses a **young boy enlisting in the army**—reflecting anxiety about youth military conscription during WWI. **Advertisements** for Evans Ale (marketed as "non-intoxicating," relevant to Prohibition-era tensions) and LePage's Glue represent period commercial culture. The overall page reflects **1917 America**: wartime patriotism, emerging consumer products, and genteel satirical humor aimed at middle-class readers.
