What you’re looking at
This page is primarily **advertising and product promotions** from what appears to be an early 20th-century *Life* magazine issue. **Notable content:** The left side features Winchester ammunition and shotgun shell advertisements targeting hunters. The Hartshorn Shade Rollers ad uses comedic illustrations of figures. **"The Literary Zoo"** - a short satirical piece - describes a Western newspaper editor who suffered physical and mental strain from political corruption, eventually finding refuge among Mexican friends. This appears to be social commentary on journalism's toll. **"Time Tells the Tale"** promotes Wayne Automobiles, emphasizing durability through testimonials from long-term car owners. Additional ads include college seals, the Lackawanna Railroad's travel guide, and various automotive dealers nationwide. The page reflects early 1900s consumer culture and light satirical commentary on American life, rather than hard political cartooning.

Vain of his physical strength, he overtaxed it in the joy of battling with the forces of political corruption. A little clot of blood on the brain—and his useful- ness as a militant Wester editor was over. For a time he lay helpless in a hospital, fighting his mental incapacity. Then, without means, with his right arm crip- pled, he sought a refuge among his Mex- ican friends. Thereafter strength of will wrought against infirmity of flesh—and conquered. x * * VEN in the little things he determined from the first to prevail. He learned to mount a horse without assistance. He would not smoke until he had taught him- self to roll a cigarette with the fingers of his left hand. When the little community could spare no able-bodied man to fetch its flour from the distant town, it was Lummis who drove the mule team with the lines wrapped around his body. And when a bolt broke—far from human aid—and the sacks strewed the ground, this paralyzed man managed somehow, with his teeth and his one good arm, to get them back into the wagon again, to repair the wagon itself, and to drive triumphantly home. His lawless enemies tried to do what paralysis could not accomplish. “Every now and then some one would take a shot at Lummis,” said a former New Mexican, reminiscently, the other day. Few men have carried so much lead in them and lived to be efficient. Yet it was not long before Lummis was again exploring the ruins of a lost race and scaling the moun- tains of Mexi Scientists have covered the same ground; but to Lummis was given the vision and the literary touch that make the redoubtable Apaches live again, and which enable us to see in a sort of a mirage the people projected by his im- agination. * * R. LUMMIS seldom comes East. Once, years ago, he was here in New York, and some one asked him how long he meant to stay. ‘Not a day longer than is necessary,” he answered. “The exhala- tions of 3,000,000 people are not to my taste.” And every one who has filled his lungs with the wine of the “Great Ameri- can Desert” will understand. HE attention of the common or garden variety of novelist, whose chief func- tion appears to be making two words grow where only one word grew before, is ear- nestly invited to Bolton Hall's book, “Three Acres and Liberty.” Ever since A. Pope postulated happiness for “the man whose wish and care a few paternal acres bound,” dreamers and doers without number have arisen to simplify the essentials. Some twenty years ago the startling dogma, TIME TELLS THE TALE 'T is significant that the strongest praise of the WAYNE comes from those who have used their cars the longest, who have driven the farthest, and who have subjected them to the hardest tests, The reason for this is patent —economy of operation and slight outlay for upkeep, absence of trouble, elimination of noise and vibration, perfect control (4 to 50 miles an hour on high speed by throttle alone), extreme flexibility, are a few of the strong points that arouse enthusiasm.
