Hon& Flags in Home Windows.
The ndividual honor flag for the
home, which every subscriber OF the
third liberty loan Is entitled. is begin
WashI akton. However, though, the
display is not SO general as the COM
mittee managing the drive here would
like Ia .see. nor 50 great as would be
expected from the number OF bond
sales ade thus far.
The fsonor flag for the home consists
Of a ctfd by inches upon which is
printet in colors a third liberty loan
for ,rT subscribers name. The princi-
pal puspose of this card is to arouse
spirit VI pride and patriotism among
the hcaseholders throughout the city.
In ads tting this system the Secretary
Of the Treasury figured that no Amer
ican h suseholder could stand the em-
barrasssnent Of seeing honor flags in
the wi4dows of the homes about him
and noe have one displayed in his own.
Don't hide Your Flags.
The local committee points out that
every bond subscriber should make
point to obtain the honor nag card for
his or her home: that they should dis
play 1t in their window. and not simply
tuck It away in the family archives
The committee wants the buyers to
show that they are giving to the gov
ernment and the loan. and to rouse
others to join in similar way. The
home honor flag, even more than the
third liberty loan button, is the con-
slant proof Of subscriptions. and the

It is considered certain that from
now on the daily bond sale reports will
include great number Of pledges
from wealthy men and women and the
larger business establishments. which
heretofore have held OF hoping for the
government to arrange a system of in
stallment payments for income and ex-
cess profits taxes
Tomorrow Is Pay Day; Look Out. i.
Since this has been definitely refused
they are expected now to subscribe lib
orally to the loan, paying for them on
the installment plan. In addition to
this the local committee anticipates an
avalanche of small purchases tomor-
row and the remainder Of the week in
view of the fact that tomorrow is
payday for thousands Of government
employees
1t is especially gratifying to the local
committee that more individual sales
are being made during this campaign
than during the previous ones. Eugene
=. Thompson. secretary Of the commit
tee. stated yesterday that he expects
the Individual sales to amount to more
than 100000. During the last loan
there were $4,000 individual subscrib-
ars.
