# Analysis of Judge Magazine Page This page contains two distinct sections: **"Egg View News-Notes"** (top): A gossip column by Leslie Van Every about local Egg View personalities—Tink Nitz, Muley Cannon, Cylindra Berger, and others. It's small-town chitchat about straw-hat sales, dental work, and summer fur storage. No political content. **"More Labor Trouble"** (bottom cartoon): Drawn by Clarence Smith, shows a woman supervising children working in a garden, harvesting vegetables. The title suggests satire about labor disputes and child labor—likely mocking either labor complaints or the domestic "labor" of household management. The humor appears to hinge on redefining children's garden work as "labor trouble," trivializing actual labor concerns through domestic analogy. The page is primarily social humor with light satire rather than political commentary.

Egg View News- Notes By Leste Van Every ILL WAITE, our grocer’s. B rand annual August closing-out sacrifice sale of high-grade straw-hats opened this morning, and already Tink Nitz has made three unsuccessful attempts at trying to settle for the one he bought last spring, at a greatly reduced price. Muley Cannon says that although a dollar may be worth only one-half of what it used to be, it certainly isn’t twice as easy to borrow one. Friday morning, Cylindra Berger was seen in Bill Waite’s grocery trying on some ear-mufis, they being the only summer furs she could afford. A Pollywog dentist, who worked on Plato Prouty Tuesday, told Plato that he couldn't have held his mouth open any wider if he had been looking at a million dollars. Phrony Edgin has never obeyed the daylight saving law by turning her clock an hour ahead, as she figures she'll be an old maid soon enough, as it is. » If there is any truth in the news that men’s clothing is to double in price by next summer, Erny Neff, our barber, says Drown by R. B, Ponies Tommy books wh n yer £0 Drsce by Canvear Saar y, mister, will yer please take these darn school that September Morn will have a lot of husbands. Tink Nitz is at his fall plow- ing ahead of time, owing to his having forgotten the location of the spot where he buried a jug some time ago. Plato Prouty is not in the market for any rheumatic lini ment, because the only time Plato walks stiff-legged is while wear ing pants with a crease in them. Button Edgin is having his clock looked after, as he has got to work several mornings lately, ahead of time. Chet Lumley, out of a squirrel-tree says that he always enjoys s down, but doesn’t like to start do- ing it so far from the ground. who tumbled erday, On Safe Ground The Pr going to introduce accurate local color in your new story of life in Thibet?
