This issue of Argosy (January 31, 1920) features four serial installments: "Crossroads" by John Frederick (chapters I–VII), "The Torch" by Jack Bechdolt (part II), "Yellow Soap" by Katharine Haviland Taylor (part IV), and "Jerry the Spirited" by Charles Wesley Sanders (part III). A complete novelette, "The Son of the Red Gods" by Paul L. Anderson, is included. Four short stories are "Sannigan's Maggot" by Victor Lauriston, "Doggie" by William Merriam Rouse, "Seven Pea Chutes" by J.E. Grinstead, and "Puget Rags" by Vere Scott. The editor contributes a piece on eggbooks. A feature advertisement promotes "A Man to His Mate" by J. Allan Dunn. The remaining pages consist of classified advertising for agents, salesmen, and merchandise, plus various consumer goods.
Each page has its own page — the cartoon, who’s in it, and what the satire means.
