IS Totvras Tied for
First Place in Race
For Loan Honor FLAG

WASHINGTON, April 8. - National
recognition for the first place in the
race for the third Liberty Loan honor
flag will have to be divided among
probably a hundred communities which
subscribed their full quota within a
few minutes after 9 o'clock last Satur-
day morning and reported in such close
order that it is impossible to give each
an individual rank.
Consequently the Treasury has de-
clared the contest result multiple tie
and tonight gave out the names OF
forty-five communities in five Federal
Reserve districts which are to share
honors. Reports from other districts
later are expected to swell this list to
more than 100.
Tied at the top of the nations honor
Athens, Cedarhurst, College Point, Far
Rockaway. Hewlett. Interlaken, Inwood,
Larchmont, Lawrence, Lodi, MeGraw,

ham, Pompton Lakes and Woodbridge,

Reports to national headquarters
to-day on the total Of subscriptions
already obtained were few, as a re-
suit Of Secretary McAdoo's order that
local campaign committees should give
out only official figures gathered from
banks, and that figures for the nation
should be based only on Federal Re-
serve Banks reports. The Treasury is
hoping for some official reports to-
morrow, and for enough to furnish
comprehensive idea of the loans prog
ress in the whole country within two
or three days. A number Of news
papers and committees protested
against the order to-day, but officials
repeated it was necessary to guard
against over-estimating the daily prog
rcss of the loan campaign.
Secretary McAdoo's plea for very
large oversubscription was q develop
ment of the day. The statement, given
out at Raleigh, n. c., where he spoke
to-day, said:
reached our quota. Let us 20 forward
and make the quota three or four times
as great, If it is possible to do it. and
let us at the same time make the num-
Der Of subscribers to these bonds three

arrner Is Loans
Unknown Quantity

1t is becoming apparent that the
farmer of these Southern states now
being traversed is the unknown guam
tity in the loan campaign. He raises
three things in North Carolina-cotton,
tobacco and corn-and while he feeds
himself, with patriotic intent, chiefly
on one of these he is making large
amounts of money out Of the other
two. Cotton is fetching higher prices
than at any time since the Civil War
and the price of tobacco is holding
steadily at a high figure, due in part
to the stimulated demand for Ameri-
can tobacco for the armies being de-
veloped and ia part to the opening of
the Oriental tobacco market, where
American firms are making great eff
forts to supplant other kinds of mar
cotic consumption with American
tobacco.
The ensuing prosperity has put some
Southern farmers IN a peculiar state
Of mind. Isolated, dependent upon the
towns for communication and manu-
factured goods, often for financial re-
sources, the farmer is always open to
suspicion and to doubt, suspecting
chiefly that somebody is trying to take
his money away from him the minute
he gets some in his hands
What the country districts chiefly
need is an increased understanding OF
the war, according to Robert Nj. Page.

WILMINGTON, N. c.. April e.-Thc
tide of patriotism is rising as William
G. McAdoo, Secretary of the Treasury,
strikes further into the heart of the
South on his third Liberty Loan tour.
Six thousand persons jammed into the
city auditorium at Richmond Monday
night and gave the rebel yell until the
building quivered as a greeting to the
Secretary. To-day Raleigh, n. c., the
nome of another member of the Cabi-
net, turned out 5000 persons in the
midst of the kind Of rain such as only
the coast states have a chance to ex-
pcrience.
At Selma, a small station on the way
to Wilmington, Mr.. McAdoo talked
briefly to a group gathered about the
platform of his car In the crowd was
an elderly railroad man, who beamcd
when the Secretary told him he repre-
sented Uncle Sam at every throttle to
which he put his hand. At Goldsboro
the downpour had spoiled parade, but
the people were not to be denied, and
they rode Mr.. McAdoo down the train
shed to the station on baggage truck,
while the band played cover There"
Everywhere there is shown the great

HEARING BY DEFENSE BOARD
County Council Probes the Charges
Against Railway Man.

The following communication has
been issued by the Idaho County Coun
ell of Defense:
GA meeting of the county council of
defense was held in the Commercial
Club rooms on Tuesday, evening. AT
the meeting the council investigated
charges made by John Oliver and f. F.
Reed to the effect that S. G. Timber
man had made statements deTogatory
to our government, indicating that he
was not loyal to our country. From the
evidence it appears that last Friday
morning about 6 o'clock, while Mr..
Oliver and Mr.. Reed were at breakfast
at the restaurant in the Pfeufer build
ing, Mr.. Timberman, who is employed
by the express company on the run be
tween GrangevilIe and Lewiston, came
into the restaurant and, while the par
ties were eating, Mr.. Timberman made
a remark derogatory to the farming
class and also to the effect that he
wished the farmers would not raise
fifty tons of hay on Camas Prairie.
The matter was reported to the coun-
ei of DEFENSE by M. Oliver. From II
evidence before the council, it appear
ed that the remaks had been made
substantially as charged; that at the
time Mr.. Timberman was irritated and
in ill-humor from some cause; it also
that no remark had been
made against the government; but it
was made in connection with remarks
that the government should control all
food prices, Mr. Timberman stating
that he did not desire anything to hap
pen to crops. 1t further appeared that
Mr.. Timberman has always been loyal
that he is the owner of a gov
eminent bond; has been active in Red
Cross work and has been especially ac-
commodating and obIiging in the matter
of the shipping of Red Cross supplies
from Grangeville. Mr.. Bell, the rail
road agent also testified as to the
character and loyalty of Mr.. Timber
man.
'The committee found that the re
mark made was indiscreet and calculat
ed to cause trouble, but that no disloy
atty was intended and that in fact
Mr. Timberman was loyal citizen, do
ing all in his power to aid and sup
port our country; the committee also
the action of Messrs. Oliver
md Reed in appearing before the coun-
Ill and takes this opportunity to thank
hem for bringing the matter to their
