This page is **primarily advertising** with one small cartoon. The main content features Mailliard's Easter Novelties advertisement (center) promoting fancy imported goods, children's toys, and their restaurant on Fifth Avenue at 35th Street in New York. The only cartoon appears lower left: **"Wall Street Item: Sharp Reaction in Steel Common."** It depicts two figures in what appears to be a physical altercation or struggle, likely satirizing stock market volatility. The caption suggests a sharp drop in steel stock prices, personified as a "sharp reaction." The cartoon humorously visualizes financial losses as literal physical conflict. The page also includes ads for Rowe's Bed Hammock and a book titled "Sexology," alongside a brief article about Kentucky education reform.

HARTSHORN SHADE ROLLERS __ Bear the script name of Stewart Hartshorn on label. Get“Improved," no tacks required. Wood Rollers Tin Rollers An Experiment in Kentucky Kentucky is the land of whiskey and race- horses, of mountain feuds and night-riders. Kentuckians claim that these things loom up un- duly large in the Eastern press. They say that an act of violence committed in Kentucky re- ceives a large head line in a New York paper, while a similar act committed much nearer home ya passing notice. There is an element acky that is keenly aware of the State's shortcomings and that is working to overcome them. These Kentuckians think the people of the East and the press of the East, feeling the horror that they do at Kentucky’s sins, should be ready to lend a hand in eradicating them. Six years ago the Civic League started a play- ground in a section of Lexington known as Irish- town. This was followed the next summer by a vacation school. Then the League discovered the section to the School Board and induced it 10 establish a kindergarten, and cach year since something has been added. To provide a full equipment would require an outlay of some $30,000. The School Board out vf a bond issue just passed from which other buildings had to be provided has reserved $10,- coo for the Irishtown school. It has come to its bond-issue limit. The Civic League wants to raise the other $20,000 for its school by private subscription. If this cannot be done, an ordinary school of the old-fashioned type must be built; and that, while lots better than nothing, will definitely end the Civic League’s hopes for Irishtown. Lexington is the cynosure of the Bluegrass and the eastern mountain section, An innovation in public school teaching in Lexington becomes an object lesson of far-reaching influence. The president of the Civic League is Mrs. Desha Breckenridge, Lexington, Ky ROWE?’S BED HAMMOCK , For Porches, Verandas, Lawns, Tents and Indoor Use Combines Hammock, Couch and Swing Settee 1A third of a century's experience shows that Rowe's jammocks car be depended on to give 10 years of Continuous out-of-door service.
