What you’re looking at
This page is primarily **advertising and editorial content** rather than political satire. The top portion features a **Murad cigarette advertisement** showing a large billboard in what appears to be a city street scene, promoting Turkish cigarettes as "Makers of the Highest Grade Turkish and Egyptian Cigarettes in the World." Below that is a brief editorial note titled "No Better, No Worse" discussing a ship changing its flag, referencing naval practices and neutrality during what appears to be a wartime context. The page includes advertisements for **Old Town Canoes** and **Wilson Whiskey** (emphasizing their "Non-Refillable Bottle"), plus a book advertisement for Booth Tarkington's "The Turmoil." There is a small cartoon illustration of crabs in the lower right, appearing to be humorous rather than political. The overall page reflects early 20th-century American consumer advertising and lifestyle content.

Thrift Wins ME: J: PILLOWPHOOT Grap- BER, the well-known burglar and philanthropist, gave a short ad- dress last Sunday to the Sabbath-school classes of the Church of the Sacred i Coupons. He said, in part: “Save your pennies, That is the — ‘ mo || Every-where only way to get ahead in the world. Why? No matter how few pennies you get, . bie save them, If you haven't any pen- nies of your own, save other people's If you can save enough pennies be- longing to other people, you are sure to become rich. And so all these fool- ish governmental regulations which try to interfere with our saving other p a people’s pennies are not at all Chris- ‘ o\ jae tian-like. It stands to reason that peo- aK or Makers ct et ghest * ple can not get rich by keeping their i 9 tH hands in their own pockets. The only H nL yptia rettes way. for this: country: to experience in thes orld unparalleled prosperity is for every- body to have his hand in the pockets of everybody else. The self-sacrificing person who can save the most of what he grabs in this way will naturally be the most honorable man in the com- munity, Save your pennies.” ————————e No Better, No Worse The fact that our fastest liner OWN anes has had to change her flag has OUT | shocked our pride.
