Here's the chance of a lifetime for
three kids In the United States: The
nited States army hns inaugurated
contest that will be open to the
students of all schools, except col
leges and universities, whether pub
ic, private, sectarian or non-secta
rian, and the winners may be male
or female, black or white or brown
or red, American born or foreign
born.
The children ' winning the first
three prizes with essays on "What
Are the Benefits of an Enlistment In
he United States Army?" will re
ceive a free trip to Washington, D.
C, with all their expenses, and the
expenses of their parents and guar
dians, paid by the government. They
will receive medals and loving cups
to be taken back to their schools. It
ill be a nation-wide contest, and
the winners will have something to
be proud of for the rest of their
atural lives.
Here's the plan, as announced by
the war deprrtment:
On April 19 next, a board of
udges consisting of Secretary of
War Baker, General Peyton C. March
nd General John J. Pershing, will
nnounce to the awaiting Juvenile
world the names of three boys or
girls who on February 20, 1920,
wrote the best essays on the subject:
What Are the Benefits of an Enlist
ment in the United States Army?"
Then on May 5, 1920, these three
boys and girls, accompanied by par
ents or guardians (railroad fares and
all expenses paid to Washington and
return for both winners and par
ents), will be presented with medals
by Secretary Baker himself.
Gold medal, suitably engraved, to
the winner of the first prize.
Silver medal, suitably engraved, to
the winner of the second prize.

to the winner of the third prize.
In addition, three beautiful silver
ups, suitably engraved, will be pre
sented to be winners by Secretary
Baker, to be carried back home by
hem as prizes for the schools they
attend.
The contest is under the auspices
of the war department, but the
newspaper, Come Back, the official
organ of the Walter Reed hospital In
Washington. aked permission to
purchase the prizes. Tills permission
was granted and the school children
are r'rlly competing for prizes thai
ere provided by maimed and In

hospital.
There is no age limit In this con
test and the little seven year old girl
in Santa Barbara, Cal.. has the same
chance of winning a prize as has thp
nineteen year old high school boy
of Baltimore.
' Now York state has many times
the number of school pupils that Ne
vada has, yet the chance of produc
