**Top Cartoon:** Depicts an awkward social situation where a dinner guest (left, seated) witnesses a marital argument between a couple. The husband gestures animatedly while the wife responds, illustrating the caption's point about guest discomfort during domestic conflicts. **"Weed 'Em and Weep":** A theatrical joke about Broadway's "Follies" show. Rural wealthy investors ("big butter and egg men from the West") visit the show, so backstage signs will be changed from theatrical directions ("Stage Right," "Exit") to agricultural puns ("Churn to the Right," "Eggzit")—mocking both rural visitors and theater industry snobbery. **"Ode to Jersey":** Satirizes New Jersey commuters' complaints about brutal daily transit battles—fighting for train seats and air during crowded rush hour. The poem humorously suggests the author prefers death over staying in the West, emphasizing the misery of commuting as a defining regional experience. **Funnyboney** and **The First Magazine Cover**: Brief humorous aphorisms and a separate illustration, likely unrelated editorial content.

gins onfr‘nce. How a guest feels during a domestic argument. Weed ’Em and Weep! Dame rumor has it that they are going to change the signs back- stage at “The Follies” for the benefit of the visiting “big butter and egg men from the West.” Henceforth, it is said, they will read “Churn to the Right” and “Eggzit.” Ode to Jersey I want to go back to New Jersey, Where once I stood with the best, And fought my way at the break of day, In the great commuting test. I want to go back to New Jersey And I dream of the tunnels there, And the glorious fight I had every night In the battle for seats and for air. I refuse to be buried out here in the West Where nobody gets ahead, I want to go back to New Jersey— But I don’t want to go till I’m dead! Jack Shuttleworth Time is money. It’s always the zero hour with us. Every man should live within his eee income even if he has to borrow the money to do it. The man who hesitates is lost. The woman who hesitates is extinct.
