What you’re looking at

This page combines humor with wartime propaganda. The left side contains "Stories with Smiles"—four brief humorous anecdotes, including a Lincoln joke about lawyers hoarding heat, a recruiting officer's quip about German reprisals during WWI, and witty exchanges about automobiles and singing voice. These are lighthearted filler content typical of Judge's satirical format. The dominant right side advertises B.C. Forbes's book *"Men Who Are Making America,"* listing prominent industrialists (Guggenheim, Rockefeller, Carnegie, etc.) answering "vital questions" about business success. This reflects 1918 American capitalism's veneration of self-made magnates and business wisdom. The wartime context (recruiting references, "Huns," submarine warfare) situates this during U.S. involvement in WWI. The overall page promotes American business enterprise and patriotic duty simultaneously—typical propaganda messaging that conflated capitalist values with national interest during wartime.

$$ January 5, 1918 Stories with Smiles Very Much the Same—When Lincoln was still an insignificant country lawyer he had occasion to travel to a small town to take charge of a case. It was drive of some 14 miles from the railroad station to the town inn where he was to spend the night. Wet and chilled to the bone, he arrived at last, but to his dismay found only a small fire built in the grate, while standing about it, so as to exclude the heat from the traveler, were the other lawyers interested in the case. At length one of the group turned to Lincoln. “Pretty cold, ch?” he asked. “Yes,” replied Lincoln, ‘‘as cold as it is hot in Hades.” “Ever been to Hades, stranger?” asked another. “Yes,” replied Lincoln, solemnly. This raised a faint smile among the other lawyers. “What does it look like there?” they asked. “Very much like this,” said Lincoln dryly; ‘‘all the lawyers nearest the fire.”— Minneapolis Tribune. Reprisals—Col. Richard L. Woodhouse said in a recruiting address at Lexington: “Nothing will stop the Huns’ barbarities but reprisals. If Rheims Cathedral is de- stroyed, let us destroy Cologne Chathedral. And on every ship that enters the submarine murder zone we ought to put Germans of high rank.”” Col. Woodhouse paused and smiled. “There’s nothing like reprisals,” he said. “A tobacconist sent a doctor the other day a ten-dollar box of cigars, saying he knew they hadn’t been ordered, but they were so excellent he was sure the doctor would enjoy them. Bill enclosed. Terms: Strictly cash. “The doctor wrote back: “ ‘Delighted with the cigars. Though it is true you haven’t called me in, I venture to send you herewith two prescriptions for rheumatism and dyspepsia respectively that Iam sure you will like, as they have given universal satisfaction to my patients. My charges being $5 per prescription, we are now quits.’ "Washington Star. Answered—The motorist was looking disconsolately at his car that lay helplessly on its side on the border of a small plowed field. It had obviously skidded off the road. Presently a passer-by of the genial kind that will ask senseless questions came along. “Hallo! Have you had an accident!” “No,” returned the exasperated motorist. “T've just bought a new car, so I brought the old one out to bury it in this field. Got a pickax and shovel in your pocket you could lend me?” —Answers. Mistaken—“I couldn’t serve as a juror, judge; one look at that feller convinces me he’s guilty.” “Sh-h—that’s the attorney for the state.” —Passing Show. Her Voice—Professor—You have a Promising contralto voice. Miss Newrich—But, professor, I’d rather sing soprano; it’s much higher-toned.—St. Louis Times.
