This page is primarily **advertising**, not political satire. The main content includes: 1. **Pennsylvania Vacuum Cup Tires ad** (left): A hypothetical advertisement imagining if all tires were this brand, emphasizing safety on slippery pavements and reduced accidents. 2. **S Anargyros Cigarettes ad** (top right): Promoting hand-rolled, individually-wrapped luxury cigarettes at 25 cents. 3. **Cartoon** (center right): A humorous drawing captioned "That's right, now, rover. Sit up and beg!" shows a dog begging. This appears to be unrelated social humor rather than political commentary. 4. **Hunter Baltimore Rye ad** (bottom): Whiskey advertisement emphasizing quality. 5. **"Workers without Wages"** (lower left): A brief satirical piece about birds as "workers" unpaid except for survival—light social commentary on labor rather than political critique.

SIT UP AND BEG!” Workers without Wages Birds live to eat. It is lucky for men they do. Some years ago a French scientist told the world that if all the birds should suddenly die man would have only a year’s life left to him, and proved his point to the satisfaction of other scientists. How much does a bird cat? Take a robin as an example. It cats at certain seasons of the year about double its weight in insects and worms every day. The bird's dinner hour begins at sun- rise and ends an hour after sunset. Any legislation looking to the shortening of its hours of labor, which are coincident with its hours of eating, would bring famine. All the song birds and all the silent birds give their service to man and they ask no pay for it except to be let alone—Our Dumb Animals. fo HUNTER BALTIMORE RYE | 5 THE HIGHEST TYPE OF WHIS- J KEY EXCELLENCE, PURITY ees AND FLAVOR, THE CONNOIS- SEUR’'S FIRST CHOICE Sold at all first-class cafes and by Jobbers.
