This page presents a crossword puzzle contest rather than a political cartoon. Judge magazine offered $25 payment for crossword puzzles submitted by readers, with the contributor credited as Edward Ruckstuhl from Cincinnati, Ohio. The page includes the puzzle grid, the answer key to the previous puzzle (No. 36), and submission guidelines. Notably, Judge stipulated that accepted puzzles "must be funny"—indicating they sought puzzles with humorous or clever cluing rather than standard crosswords. The magazine would pay additional rates for other accepted submissions. The cartoonish header and footer illustrations are typical Judge decorative elements but don't convey specific satire. This represents Judge's interactive reader-engagement strategy during the crossword puzzle craze of the early 20th century.
