TIMES ORDERS
Scores Receive BasebaIIs or
Tennis BalIs-Six More Win
Coaster Wagons.

Scores OF enterprising boys and
flocked TO the office of The Wash
ington Times Circulation Manager
today and received College League
baseballs or tennis balls as addi-
tional rewards for turning in their
subscription orders promtly.
This special offer OF extra re-
wards will last only a few days,
and IL was quite evident from the
number of youngsters who showed
up today with subscription orders
that they think the prize worth
a little speed and pep.
Receiving baseballs or tennis balls
does not in any way interfere with
getting a classy coaster wagon,
which Is given in return for ten
six month subscription orders. In
fact, II helps the boy or girl 10
complete his or her little task in
shorter time and get the wagon
all the quicker.
No Collection Required.
One of the advantages on the
side OF the boys and girls in this
campaign In that they do not have
10 collect any money-all they have
10 do is TO obtain the signature OF
ten relatives or friends who agree
TO have The Washington Times de-
livered to their homes. OF course,
they must be new subscribers; per
sons who are not now having the
paper delivered to their homes.
Here are the names and addresses
OF six more boys who received
coaster wagons today:

Winners Helping Others.
Many OF the youngsters who have
already received wagons regard the
subscription getting as 80 simple,
easy and pleasant, that they are at
work helping their brothers, sis
ters, or friends to get coasters.
There is no limit TO the number Of
coasters any boy or girl can re-
ceive in this campaign. For each
ten new six months subscriptions
the Circulation Manager will give
a classy coaster wagon, irrespective
OF whether the recipient already
has one or a dozen.
Boys and girls, If you want
baseball or tennis ball as an extra
reward. turn in your subscription
orders the very day you get them.
Subscribers want delivery to begin
at once and the only way this can
be done is for the youngsters to
turn in their orders promptly.

There Is an old saying Where

A man never realizes how

And he doesn't know how dear
they are TO him until he leaves
them out of his will.
Whenever his last testament Is
read his relatives all gather
round with handkerchiefs I'm

they use them Is when they find
they've been cut off with y dol

One old man died and left his

George, and Bits big hands clepched
in spite of himself.
They were not quite sure that they
would look up George, anyway, when
they made their way thru the increas-

had no chance to decide. George and
his girl swooped down upon them
and what followed made Bertha feel
as if she had suddenly been swept off
her feet. The girl, beautiful, stately
and brunette, but certainly older than
George, took both Bits hands in hers.
What a wonderful surprise she
said. Il was going to send for you
tomorrow, but I never knew you'd be
gravitated to some chairs behind some

- Addressing the members OF the
Mississippi Valley association, James
+. Smith said: The passage of an
appropriation bill Of s42.OOO,OOO for
rivers and harbors by the national
house OF representatives was a notable
victory for the valley, in the face
OF the 1874 million dollar appropria-
ton proposed by the director of the
budget" He was talking in the inter
est of the restoration of water trans
portation- But congress has been
making huge appropriations for river
improvements for years, yet there is
not a steamboat plying on the Mis-
souri, and there are very few boats on
the Mississippi. Why spend money
on the rivers. when hardly anybody
uses them or is likely to do so?

his possession. Americans have claims
against the German government to-
falling s4I5.O0O. 900. including those
where cash was seized by Germany,
and restitution is now offered on the
basis OF deprecated exchange, about
a third of a cent to the mark. where
as the mark is normally worth "a
cents. Mr.. Miller states that If all
German property were returned to-
day. most of it would be taken by the
German government in the shape of
taxes. Good business seems to call
for the sale of Mr.. Miller's holdings
and the covering of the money into
the treasury.

It is reported in the press dis

to bring about a settlement OF the
coal strike. There is urgent need
that prices Of coal should be rightly
related to other prices If the country
= to resume normal industrial and
commercial activity. And coal prices
can not be maintained in proper ad-
justment to other prices if the min
ers' wages continue in any marked de-
gree disproportionately high. II, as
is commended. the wages of coal miners
were fixed at unduly high levels in
1920, the subsequent reductions in
general prices and costs of living IN
questionably warrant a downward re-
vision Of wages at this time. Unless
the government can induce the miners
to take this view Of the situation, it is
difficult to see what it can do II it
undertake to bring about settlement
thru the exertion of pressure on either
party to the controversy. it can hardly
accomplish any permanent good. In

would be fully warranted in keeping

afford whateVerah is doing is quail
flying for the neglected wife class.
She'll soon find that she is one of the
wives who is left at home when her
husband goes on a pleasure trip
Most wives realize that it is their
duty to be their husbands helpmate.
What they do not understand is that
it is equally their duty to be their
husbands playmates. 1t is up to the
good wife to help a husband save, and
it is equally up to her to help him
spend.
A woman can find all of her amuse-
ments, all of her excitementS and,
thrills, and diversions in the small cir
Gle of her home and family. A man
can't. He must have outside pleas
ures and if his wife refuses to enter
into those, he soon finds that he can
have a very good time without her.
The moral of all of which is that
hubby is going to spend his money
on some woman and have some wom-
an for a playfellow, anyway, so it
had just as well be you.
