What you’re looking at
This page contains two distinct elements: **Top Section:** A photograph labeled "AT LIFE'S FARM - THE TUG OF WAR" shows a group of people in period dress engaged in a tug-of-war game outdoors, likely at a Life magazine-sponsored event or farm. **Bottom Section:** A satirical cartoon titled "JUST BEFORE EMBARKING THE LEADING 'LADY' DISCOVERS THAT IT IS FRIDAY, THE 13TH" depicts a crowded, chaotic scene of people in early 20th-century dress. The cartoon satirizes superstition about Friday the 13th—showing panicked reactions among what appears to be theatrical performers or travelers about to embark on a journey. The humor derives from mocking the widespread belief in this unlucky date as an actual cause for concern. The page also includes various short articles and donation lists for "Life's Fresh Air Fund."

They are symptoms rather than causes, indications that popula- tion has became so large and society so com JUST BEFORE, spy AT LIFE’'S FARM THE TUG OF WAR plex that their needs have outgrown the ramework which sufficed for the older and simpler conditions. We must educate the people up to the point where they will be content to leave some things to specialists.— President Hadley . right, Doctor, but the specialists in money-getting must play fair nd leave some things to us. Why not you, sir, for a specialist in Irust regulation? It has been com- plained that the development of an ex- tremely valuable railroad specialist was checked when you became president of DISCOVERS THAT 17 1S FRIDAY, THE 1371 Yale. Any able man of influence who thinks he knows how to regulate the trusis ought to apply for an engagement to work on that difficult problem. Needs a New Scul NY party that is in the business of saving souls will oblige many friends if he will save one forthe Sun. The Sun needs a new soul. Its brains are good; its manners are fair; its dress is pleas- ing, but it ought to have a new soul. It deserves something for the faithful, dogged way it has stood up for Ballinger when its intelligence must long ago have assured it that Ballinger was out. Twelve Dollars a Ton People of Alaska have to pay $12 a ton for coal at the coast while they have plenty un- developed at their very doors. Such is our present ruinous policy.--Senator Nelson, HAT’S bad, Senator; very bad. It is lamentable that it should take so Jong to make that Alaska coal available. But, after all, if a substitute for that un- developed coal costs twelve dollars a ton the undeveloped coal must be worth sav- ing to the people of “the Slope.” When the faithful Sun, quoting you as above, thinks it “barely possible that a con- siderable portion of the United States will prefer not to ignore such little facts,” the Sun is right. The little twelve-dollars-a-ton fact meets in. the solar plexus the fact so often offered as bearing on the Alaska coal lands that there’s lots of undeveloped coal land in the country that can be bought for five dollars an acre. comicbooks.com
