Some City Boy Will Get
His Vacation at Culver

Culver" editor at The Times. If a
regular photograph is not available
a good snapshot will do. However,
the picture should show the fea-
lures distinctly.
The boy who most closely resem-
bles one of the Brown of Culver
stars published in The Times will
be given two weeks vacation at
Culver in August. In addition to
swimming, games, camp life and
other wonderful treats, the winner
will be worked into some interesting
group for which his age qualities
him.
For instance, if he is a Boy Scout
and is under the age of IA, he may
take up special scout work and
woodcraft in the finest woodcraft
school in the world, under direction
CT expert teachers.
If he is over IA he will be
able to take up nautical work and
sea scouting, or, perhaps, little
cavalry experience.
The winner of this contest will
Rave opportunity to meet and min
gle with picked boys from all over
the United States, partake Of the
fine meals served in the great mess
hall and take part in all the many
Culver activities in a veritable boys
paradise.
1t seems that this is just about
the finest prize that any boy could
possibly hope to win without any
greater effort on his own part than
merely mailing photo of himself
to the Contest Editor, stating his
age and why he thinks he measures
up to the Culver standards.
Brown of Culver" was made en-
tirely at Culver, except some shots
ta'-en in indianapolis.
Be sure to get Thursdays Times
