papers or circulars, so that the whole
community may know who has Joined
the Honor Roll.
An appeal to join the Roll
from motives of local pride will be
the second slogan on the Honor Roll:
HELP OUR TOWN TO WIN THE
RIGHT TO FLY THIS FLAG.
With the slogan will be displayed
a picture Of the Honor Flag. This
will be the same symbol awarded to
individual subscribers, but no town
will be permitted to fly the flag until
it has exceeded its quota of the issue
of the Third Liberty Loan. The quo
ia is proportioned upon the wealth Of
the town. Every community thus has
an equal chance to win the right to
fly the Honor Flag.
AS a further honor a city or town
that buys double its quota of bonds
will receive the right to add a blue
star to its flag. Every additional
1000 will mean another star.
The proof of the power of commun
ity pride lies in the competition al
ready begun to win the first Honor
Flag In the country by securing the
first complete quota. Dozens of cities
or towns have announced that they
are out to get 1t.
The Government encourages this
competition by promising to make the
award Of the first Honor Flag an i'm
portant official event. It is expected
that Secretary McAdoo will attend
the first ceremony and raise the flag
with his own hands.
The towns Of the West and South
are especially keen about this COM
petition. They realize the honor II
will be to have official proclamation
Of the community first to respond to
the nations call for funds

scription Of the Loan, rolling 1t up to
show the soldiers how the country Is
backing the war, but 1t will aid in
cementing individuals into communi-
ties, communities into States, and
States into O truer nation.
The Honor principle will be car
ried right to the top. An the towns
that have won the Honor Flag will
have their names permanently re-
ported on the Rou Of Honor at the
State Capitol. The record of ths
State Will be set down in tho same
way on a grand Honor Roll At the

The adoption of the Honor Roll and
the Honor Flag for communities IN
the Third Liberty Loan campaign
promises to add an element Of COM
petition in service throughout the
whole country, to the sale Of Liberty
Bonds, which was seen in neither of
the earlier loans.
What the Honor Roll did at Cedar
hurst. Long Island, the only town
which employed it on the Second
loan, proves the tremendous force of
the idea
On the First Loan CedaThurst took
$175,000 worth of Liberty Bonds
through $50 subscribers; on the Sec.
ond, 3490 subscribers took $1,200,o 600
Yet Cedarhurst was just an average
American community with perhaps
more citizens of foreign birth than
the average and many citizens Of
small means.
All that the Liberty Loan Commit
tee did was to make public day by
day, acknowledgement, not Of money
subscriptions but of the list of those
who had answered the call of the
nation, and by giving this list the
honor that was due, persuaded Others
to secure a place.
To the Honor Roll idea has been
added for the whole country for the
Third Liberty Loan the Service Flae
idea. Those who acknowledge theil
debt to the nation by aiding witt
their money will receive widest pub,
lie recognition for their act. Enlist:
ment among bond holders will gel
credit just as if it were enlistment
in the ranks Of army or navy
Those who enlist money in the
Government service will have 6
symbol to display in the form of the
Honor Flag. This is like a Service
Flag in design and in spirit. 1t is
rectangular, with a broad red border
surrounding a white field, the flelt
bearing three vertical blue bars
marking the Third Liberty Loan.
There will be no provision ON tn,
flag to show the amount subscribed
The slogan "This flag in your window
wiz help win the war" is counted
upon to point the way to win sub
scriptions.
Whether it is one $50 bond or 81
bonds at $1,000 each, the same cred
It will be given on the public Honol
Roll. The name OF the subscriber be
meath this caption.

US. War Stamps in Every Home
Timber Sold Without
the Land is Personal Pro-
perty.

At the Listers Meetings held in the Sc
veral counties throughout the State dur
ing the last month, the Commissioner Of
Taxes discussed the question of the tax
alton OF standing timber which has been
sold and conveyed without real estate on
which it stands. 1t appears from what
he said that this class of property is not
real estate, but personal property. This
interests not only the owners of such
property and the listers who have to
appraise its value, but sheriffs, consta-
bles and police officers who in the SER
vice of writs are making attachments of
property.
Mr.. Plumley said:-
Standing timber that has been sold
and conveyed without the land is to be
taxed and set in the list to the owner.
1t is to be set in the list, not as real estate
but as personal property and there shall
be no deduction, no Offset, az agai nst
such personal property on account of
debts owing. By examination of Section
No. us of the General Laws (Section
500 P. S. you will see that the statute
provides for the taxation of standing
timber, and you will find if you examine
the 9th VT, 155 and the S9th VT,
201-2l0, that our Supreme Court has
fatty held that the conveyance of grow
ing trees (Standing TIMBER to be re-
moved within a specified time, works in
law a severance OF the trees from the
real estate and converts the trees into
personal property.
"In the case of Deerfeld Lumber Co.
VS.. Lyman, S9th VT, 201-210, deed
under consideration did not definitely
specify the time within which the trees
should be removed from the real estate
The court went even further than it has
gone in any prior decision and said in
substance that the deed under considera-
ton plainly did not intend that the
timber should remain upon the land for
an indefinite time and therefore it should
be removed within a reasonable time,
and this kind of deed the court said
worked in law q severance of the timber
from the freehold and converted it into
personal property.
IF you will stop to think you will see
the sound reasoning and common sense
on which this proposition is based
The timber, growing, has been sold
The real estate has not been sold. II
the real estate has not been sold then
the man brought the trees has bought
something other then real estate. Yes
He has bought the standing timber,
which not being real estate is personal
property and must be set in the list as
such. By the sale the trees are severed
from the real estate as effectually as if
cut off the SOIL"

War has disturbed the whole
worlds sugar supply. 1t has
not only wiped out any avail
able surpluA but it has put all
nations on "a hand-to-mouth
basis.
The European Allies were
the first to feel the pinch. Be-
fore the war enough sugar was
produced on the Continent to
supply all Europe. Today
two-thirds of this sugar-pro-
ducing area is within the battle
lines.
England, France and other
nations have had to turn else
where for a supply of this in
dispensable food.
And they came to Cuba-the
main source upon which the
United States depends for its
cane sugar. During 1917 Cuba
sold and shipped to Europe
nearly 100000 tons of raw
sugar-one-third of its crop.
In addition to the normal
increase in the consumption of
sugar as food in this country,
the nationwide movement to
save the fruit crop last season
greatly increased its use.
But this increased consump-
ton of sugar has been a real
factor in combating waste. 1t
enabled the American house
wife to add to the store of the
food of the nation at a time
when fruits and vegetables
were plentiful and cheap.
The sugar is not only in the
fruit jar, but it has carried into
the pantries of the country a
vast supply of fruit and vege-
tables which would otherwise
have been lost. Sugar itself is
not only a food, but it is also
the great preserver Of other
foods.
AS the demand for sugar
grew, both here and abroad,
Cuba's supply was exhausted
last fall. Every available ton
in Porto Rico and other cane
sugar countries was acquired.
But this was not enough and
the shortage came.

At the same time an abund-
ance of sugar was and still is
locked up in far-away Java, as
unavailable as unmined gold
because ships cannot be spared
to transport it.
Every 5,O00-ton ship which
can be saved by giving Eng
land sugar from Cuba means
the release of a ship which can
make three trips and take a
total of 5000 soldiers from the
United States to France.
IF we can save the Allies
from taking any Java sugar in
1918, we will release for trans
port purposes enough ships to
carry over to the Western front
and supply about 10000 to
100000 soldiers.
At the same time we will
also be giving the Allies the
necessary sugar. Therefore it
is to the interest of the COM
mon cause to save ships and
send soldiers.
The American Sugar Rehn-
ing Company has put forth
every possible effort to keep
up the supply of sugar for the
United States, even in limited
quantities, and to stabilize the
price to the consumer.
In order to enable the widest
possible distribution of sugar
so that all may have some
