What you’re looking at

This page contains **Judge's Crossword Puzzle No. 9**, a recreational puzzle feature rather than political satire. The page shows a blank crossword grid with numbered clues and an answer key to the previous week's puzzle (No. 8). The decorative header features cartoon characters celebrating puzzle-solving, establishing a lighthearted tone. The credited contributor is P. S. Van Raalte of Toronto, Ontario, Canada. **The key content**: Judge offered monetary incentives ($25 per published puzzle) to encourage reader submissions. The note clarifies that puzzles must be humorous or original to be returned—establishing editorial standards for this recurring feature. The cartoons flanking the text (a figure with a calculator and another character) humorously reinforce the puzzle theme but carry no deeper political meaning. This represents Judge's mix of satirical content with entertainment features to engage its audience.
