THIRD LIBERTY LOAN
AWARDED BY THE UNITED STATES
TREASURY DEPARTMENT TO EVERY
TOWN 'RCCPTRTNC IT'S Quota
or TIE

blem, a blue star, to be sewed into
the white field of the flag, will be
awarded to communities every time
they increase their quotas by one hun
bred per cent.
In other words, if a towns quota
is 100000, il will be entitled TO an
honor flag when its subscriptions
reach this amount; should its sub
scriptions reach $4,000 it will be en-
titled to one blue star and for each
additional 100000 it will receive an
other star.
In addition to the awarding of the
honor flags, there will be window
cards measuring Z by 9 inches bearing
reproduction of the large Honor Lib
cry Loan Flag and containing a space
for the subscribers name. When a
bond is sold the name of the pur-
chaser should be written in by the
bond salesman or it can be written
in by the subscriber himself. This card
will then be hung in the window OF
the subscribers home or place of bust
ness as evidence of his patriotism
and loyalty to his country.
The Honor Flag plan is one that
will separate the quick from the dead
towns beyond all shadow of a doubt.
1t puts the classificatiCr right up to
the communities themselves. Where
will YOUR town stand? This is a
question which YOU have got to an.
