What you’re looking at
This page, from during World War I, contains mostly advertisements and patriotic content rather than political cartoons. **Main Content:** The "Suggestions for Summer Travelers" article urges Americans to visit domestic sites—factories producing uniforms and munitions, farms growing food for soldiers, Red Cross headquarters—emphasizing wartime production and patriotic duty. The repeated phrase "Am I doing my bit?" reflects the era's focus on individual contribution to the war effort. **Political Commentary:** The "Sixes and Sevens" section contains mild political humor about Congress members Champ Clark and Claude Kitchin, and Jim Reed, suggesting Clark prefers House leadership to Senate work. Party leaders are mildly criticized for blaming voters rather than themselves for low turnout. **Advertisements:** The page includes ads for the Hotel Marie Antoinette, Leslie-Judge magazine seeking sales representatives, and most prominently, a War Savings Stamps program encouraging home delivery of bonds. The content reflects American mobilization during WWI, emphasizing national unity and economic contribution to the war effort.

HOTEL Marie Antoinette 66th St. & Broadway, New York A House of Most Refined Atmosphere. Noted for Its Cuisine. European Plan. H. Stanley Green, Managing Director Suggestions for Summer Travelers By Lewis Atten Browne never offered so many ions to Summer travelers is year. Here is a pretty good programme for patriotic tourists: MOUNTAINS Go to Redbank, N. J., and see the mountains of cloth being made into uniforms for our boys at the front. Go to the the Mint at Philadelphia and see the mountains of gold we are turning out to pay our boys at the front, to feed, to clothe and to otherwise provide for them. Go to the big elevators and see the mountains of grain we are piling up for ourselves and our Allies and not for our enemies this year—for a change. Go to Red Cross headquarters and see the mountains of bandages and other necessities they are assembling and mak- ing the best use of. Go to the big mobilization camps and see the grandest of all—the mountains of enthusiasm and patriotism and valor that we have on hand. GENERAL SCENIC Go into the rolling Middle West and see the great broad acres, the miles and miles of fields yielding foodstuffs. Go into quaint, old, rock-bound New England—birth-soil of patriots—and sec the cultivated farms, the great orchards, the busy men garnering foodstuffs, the busier women preserving and canning. Go into the great factories and see the wondrous sights; men and women work- ing as never before, producing everything n ary; producing in one land every ety and double quantity of all that which the remainder of the world can produce. Go to the commercial centers and see what is going on transporting by rail and ship to every section of our land and to every part of the Old World where we desire our goods to go. Go into our cities, towns, villages, hamlets, and visit our farms, from East- port to the Dry Tortugas, from the Alamo to the upper Oregon, and see the flags flying; see Old Glory fluttering from towers and temples and from huts upon hilltops. Other scenic wonders will stay put. Try these for a change, this year hey will do you good, Mr. and Mrs. Tourist, and when you get back home lead your- self into a room by yourself, seat yourself in front of a mirror, look yourself in the Am I doing my bit?” You are the only one who can answer that question. Sixes and Sevens Ry Aceert E. CY to the average poli- tician is like your neighbor’s wife —to be admired but not to get caught with. Hovr Champ Clark would rather stay in the House and preside over Claude Kitchin than go to the Senate and be Jim Reed's colleague. Ed Party leaders blame the people for lack of votes when they ought to blame them- selves for lack of gumption. ‘a> Leslie-Judge Representatives WANTED In Small Towns and Country Districts E want you to help us introduce to the firesides H ies, HLM FUN and America’s Only Ilustested "News paper, LESLIE'S W » 21) preferred, ud help you to No experience necessary d six months and a year, W S.cure subscriptions for three an No Single Copy Sale. re time evenings. h from $§ to $25 a week, or put ina earn double this amo: Answer quickly so you can start now.

Name Address SS COST DURING 1918 $419°| Nov. 420 | Dee Senator Jim Ham Lewis can think up so many awful perils after the war that sometimes we are afraid the Senate can’t find time to avert them all before it set- tles down to win it. * Statesmen keep wishing we Americans had the British cabinet system, but most of us would be too busy to enjoy learning how to cuss out a new breed of cabinet. ¢ The Hoke Smiths and the Jim Reeds must wonder sometimes if the President wouldn’t get along almost as well even if they quit opposing him. ¢ Senator Sherman of Illinois says that the President has “surrounded himself with Socialists” and should “scatter the bunch of economic fakers and howling dervishes now in office Senator Sher- man respects the Presidency, and maybe he thought a lot of Pr esident. Wilson's father—but he just wishes the Presbyte- rian clergy had had to be celibate. 2 How is a man who wants to be a good Hooverized patriot to know how to go about it? Now they're telling us to “avoid emotional excesses and keep our feet on the ground.”’ Just the other day they told us to keep our gardens on it. ¢ These modern churches which have abolished the old creeds sort of make a man homesick for something worth dis- agreeing with. & Senator Brandegce says President Wil- son will co-ordinate with nobody but him- self. So long as he will co-ordinate why dictate who with?
