Flags Appearing
Liberty Loan honor flags are ap-
pearing in hundreds of homes in the
city. In many instances these flag
posters are stopped by a streamer
which reads, "One Hundred Per

every individual in the household.

of workers. that by far the large
majority of Liberty Bond buttons
are being worn by men who are en-
ployed at the big industrial plants

carry men to the shops and mills are
filled with button wearers. while the
cars carrying office employees. clerks
and similar folks show comparative
ly few buttons.
