What you’re looking at
This page is primarily **advertising and filler content** rather than political satire. The visible cartoon depicts a naval anecdote about sailors in the "China Squadron." The humor is crude slapstick: a sailor named Jim Winch breaks his neck, and when a fellow sailor learns a doctor massaged it with alcohol, he jokes that Jim "couldn't resist trying to lick it off"—implying drunken desperation. Below this are two joke exchanges: one about predicting an election winner ("Al or Herb"—likely referencing the 1928 U.S. presidential race between Al Smith and Herbert Hoover), and a father-son joke about car drivers. The "Scotch Grams" feature appears to be phonetic wordplay translating Scottish dialect into English phrases (e.g., "You Butternut Bedew" = Scottish pronunciation of English words). The remainder of the page consists of **advertisements**: Hotels Statler, Atchison Topeka & Santa Fe Railway, and related travel services. This reflects Judge's commercial nature in the 1920s.

Blow the call to quarters, Marvin, here we are with the China Squadron. “Poor old Jim Winch broke his neck last night,” said the chief gunner. “Why, I thought he had just a light touch of lumbago,” inter- polated the son of a@ gunner. “Yeh, but the sawbones mas- saged his neck with alky and Jim couldn’t resist trying to lick it off,” wailed Gunnysack.
