What you’re looking at

This page is **primarily advertising** with minimal editorial cartooning. The main satirical cartoon appears in the upper left: a businessman labeled "the efficiency expert" lounges idle while asking workers what their duties are—a joke about the absurdity of efficiency experts themselves being unproductive. This mocks the early-20th-century "efficiency expert" craze. The page contains several short humorous pieces: "A Scion of Chiefs" humorously describes a Ute Indian family's newfound wealth from oil, purchasing an elaborate hearse-like carriage and parading through town. Other pieces include philosophical quips and dialogue jokes typical of Life's satirical humor style. The remainder consists of advertisements: Boston Garter hose supporters, Evans beverage, Niagara wallpaper, diamond rings from Jason Weiler & Sons, and skin care products. The diamond advertisements emphasize mail-order purchasing and significant savings compared to retail prices.

Mr., Mrs. and the little Bearwalks moved into the county seat. Dreams were to be realized. No such hilarity had been heard on Main Street since the night before the town went dry. Two coal-black horses were pulling a white, box-like structure slowly. Its white, glassy sides were hung with spotless curtains, and a golden cross shone out from the rear. On the top sat an Indian squaw, holding the reins. Be- hind her sprawled half a dozen native children, while two dogs barked viciously. Below, within the glass compartment, an Indian brave lolled on his blanket. He ed at his pipe and gazed from his cage impassively, yet deep within his cyes lay a gleam of purest content.
