What you’re looking at

This page is primarily **advertising**, not political satire. It features product advertisements typical of the era: Boston Garters (suspenders), Evans Non-Intoxicating Ale, a "Liquid Pistol" dog deterrent, watches, diamonds, and jewelry. The small humor section contains brief **anecdotal jokes** rather than cartoons: - A military joke mocking bureaucratic rule-citing between a private, sergeant, and major over uniform regulations - A druggist's schadenfreude about a plumber needing a prescription - Observations about cherry prices and bargain-hunting - Jokes about a man quitting drinking/gambling but attending movies instead - A punchline about poverty and automobile ownership None reference specific political figures or events. The humor is genteel, domestic, and circumstantial—typical early-20th-century newspaper comedy. The page reflects wartime 1917 America (note the military joke) but contains no obvious satire of political figures or movements.

E, Brooklys, N.Y. work is hard, but doesn’t the result more than justify it? : “On a train the other day a private sat with his tunic unbuttoned, for the tempera- ture was high. A sergeant strode up to him and said: ““Button up that tunic! Did you never hear of bylaw 217, subsection D? I’m Ser- geant Jabez Winterbottom!’ “A gentleman in the seat behind tapped the sergeant sternly on the shoulder. “*How dare you issue orders,’ he said, ‘with a pipe in your mouth? Go home and graph 174, section M, parto.

The Druggist’s Turn— The druggist danced and chortled till the bottles danced on the shelves. “What’s up?” asked the soda clerk. “Have you been taking something?” “No. But do you remember when our water pipes were frozen last winter?” “Yes, but what—” “Well, the plumber who fixed them has just come in to have a prescription filled.” —Pitisburgh Chronicle Telegraph. High Cherries—We aren’t used to doing the marketing, so we get excited when we think somebody is trying to sting us. And it seems as if somebody were trying to sting us every minute, so the excitement is continuous. Saturday night we asked the price of cherries. The man told us. “But what right have you to charge such a price?” a demanded. “What makes aid the merchant. we repeated. “Why, the papers said yesterday that cherries were so abundant that they were rotting on the trees!” hat’s right,” answered the man calmly. “That's what makes 'em so scarce."”"—Cleve- land Plain Dealer.
