My Family" Says Happy
Winner.

ITS a cinch. It isn't work. It's
play. It's like fascinating game"
Such were the remarks made today
by Walter Reopen, fourteen years old,
of Arlington, Va, when he called at
The Washington Times Bicycle Con-
test Headquarters, 1922 + street
northwest, and received a $50 Ranger
bicycle in return for thirty-fve new
yearly subscriptions.
Walter who attended the Curtis
school and began his campaign for
inscriptions after vacation began.
said he intended getting himself n
job and earning some money with his
bicycle.
1T certainly is a beauty, and 1t
looks like 1T ought to last me at least
five years" said he. as he pridefully
surveyed the handsome new, com
pletely-equipped bicycle. ut will
come in handy and help me get a
job during vacation.
DAD HURT AT WORK.
MY father. who is an ironworker,
received a fracture OF the skull while
working at the Navy Yard recently,
and has been laid up at home. / fig
ure that with this bicycle / can earn
money and give it to my mother.
81 don't see why every man, woman
and child who entered this contest
hasn't gotten a bicycle already. II
is as easy as dirt to get one. 1t took
me only two afternoons to get my
thirty-five new yearly subscribers for
The Washington Times. There isn't
any work to IT. Boys and girls are
playing around all day, and they are
passing peoples houses all the time.
All they've got to do is to walk up TO
~ "a hall alE thas Ia IN
of the house to subscribe for The
Washington Times for year. and in
nine cases out of ten they will get
subscriptions. The Washington Times
seems to be the most popular paper
because practically everyone l ques-
toned about subscribing said Sure,
put me down for a year, and here s
the first months payment All of
the boys and girls who haven't got
bicycles must be loafing on the job,
or they don't really want bicycles. ]
think a fine, strong bicycle like this
is great. ibg pay for the little time 1t
takes to get the thirty-five new sub
scribers.
There are several boys out at Ar
lington who got subscriptions books,
but they haven't been making the
proper effort to get subscribers. They
tried to discourage me and said J
would never get a bicycle. ! am go
ing to ride right over to Arlington
now on this fine bicycle and bet they
will all be green with envy. I'll bet
when they see me with my brand-new
wheel it will stir them up and make
them go out and hustle TO get theirs y
