one who has a good time in winter,
because that is the weather that was
made for him. But we can show
him that we can put on our think

out all the puzzles that come our

sides yet.

BE SURE TO GET A BUTTON.

Those who desire to become mem
bers Of the Billy Bounce Club and
take a chance at winning the prizes
which the genial Billy and his in
teresting associates offer each week
must send in two coupons from diff
ferent issues Of The Times and get
a club button.
This is very necessary. for no one
can receive a prize unless he or she
shows the club button. II would be
rather hard if some little boy or girl
sent in the neatest and most original
answer TO some of the prizes, or drew
the best picture, only for Billy to
learn in looking over his books that
the name of the fortunate little one
was not on the roll. Send in your
coupons and be sure to inclose a two
cent stamp So mary little ones
have forgotten TO do that, and SO
Billy has not sent the button. If YOU
want 10, you can just bring your
coupons TO The Times Office. ask for
Billy, and he will give you the button
