Third Liberty Loan
Doubt may ari-r III the
,minds Of some people A. 10
whether flag can tc won by "A
county only, or by 4 particular
community. The feeling Of the
Government abolt the matter
ia that where a town or city is
large enough to have a separate
quota assigned to il, that city
ior town can have an Honor
Flag for itself. For instance,
THE County Executive Commit
tee will assign a separate quota
for DeniSon and Sherman in
tGrayson County, Texas. This
Illustration will give some idea
,of how the matter will he ar
ranged. The rules governing
the question of what communl-
tiea shall have the right to earn
and fly an Honor Flag must
necessarily be somewha. chy bic.
You may be sure of one thing
that wherever a community de-

Federal Reserve Bank. as
agent for the Government, for
recognition Of the patriotism OF
that community by awarding
ian Honor Flag.
The Honor Flag measures
36X5i inches. 1t has a red bor.
'dcr and a white center. and
three vertical blue stripes. As
AN additional Honor cmtlem, n

white field of the Flag. will be
awarded to communities every
time they increase their quotas

or words, if a towns quota IL
100000. it will be entitled t.
an Honor Flag when its sub
acriptiOnS reach this amount,
and when the subscriptions
reach $2OO.OW it will he en-
titled to one blue star.
, Every bank will I've supplied
with window cards 1x9 inches,
which will show a rc,noduct ioa
iof the Honor Flag. and have a
space for the subscribers name.
The subscriber will write his
name on the window card and
display it in his residence OF
at his place Of business.
The raising Of the Honor
Flag in any community. should

patriotic demonstration. and e
made one of the greatest event.
IN the life Of the community.
In many communities there

Honor Roll" This will give a
list of the names Of .uhscrib,
ers to the Third Liberty Loan.
The list will be placed in the
most prominent position in

up to date. Every man who
values his Self-reSpcct and ths
opinion of his neghlnrs will
want TO have his name appear

There is not a single county

single city or town large enough
to be given a separate quota,
that will not earn the right to
