This page contains **mostly advertisements** with one short satirical piece titled "Logic." **The Cartoon/Story "Logic":** The piece depicts a dialogue between a war horse and a plow horse. The plow horse boasts that his grandfather lived thirty years through hard labor, suggesting the war horse will similarly endure. The war horse responds skeptically, noting that wartime service differs fundamentally—asking what value lies in mere survival compared to purposeful work. **The Satire:** The piece critiques romanticized notions of wartime service. While the plow horse sees longevity as success, the war horse questions whether simply lasting through conflict constitutes a meaningful life. This reflects **post-WWI disillusionment**—the suggestion that soldiers endured hardship without clear purpose or benefit, undermining propaganda celebrating military service. **Advertisements:** Diamond rings and Nujol laxative dominate the page, typical of 1920s Life magazine content.

The plow horse raised his voice, “As for the thrill of war, the uplift, the appeal to the imagination,” he ex- claimed vehemently, “I don't think much of it!” But the war horse was gone.
