SERVICE FLAG DEDICATED SUNDAY
Tweny-one Members of Park Congregational Church Have Answered the Call to Arms--Deohcatory Address De Evered by Rev. s. H. Howe, D. D.

service flag with twenty-one stars was dedicated at the Sunday morning service at Park Congregational church, Rev. Samuel H. Howe. D. D., the pas- tor. making the dedicatory address. The service flag was dedicated just be- fore the sermon. The dedication ad- dress follows:
 Through the generosity of our Mems club we are today to install this ser vice flag to keep us reminded that many of our brave young men have gone into the military service of the nation. We do well to honor them and we do well to do homage to the flag they follow. The flag of nation is the symbol of it's nationality of it's history and of it's ideals; of its gov ernmental standard. and of its civili- zation; the sight of which stirs our patriotism and our always present if sometimes unexpressed affection. In times of peace and national tranquility we greet our flag with pride as the symbol of a commonwealth, which rep resents great ideas of freedom of re- sourcefulness of power adequate for the protection and conservation of the rights of the humbiest as well as the most exalted of it's citizens. We re- member our nations great history, it's l invincibleness in war, it's pacific poli-
 cIes in times of peace: it's inspiring 1 influence upon liberty -aspirant peo-
 pies, it's challenge to oppressed nations
 to rise and claim enfranchisements 1 like our own. We remind ourselves
 that our nation has stood not merely | for freedom and for democracy and 1 for full self government to it's own people, but it has been the one signal light which has lighted and led scores of nations to aspire for freedom like
 our own. It is significant that twen- tty nations have caught from us the
 spirit of liberty and are at this mo-
 ment standing with drawn swords tc
 challenge the outworn fallacies of au- itocratic despotisms. All this our fias symbolizes; our flags past history is lcertainly great and inspiring. It has
 never gone down i'll defeat in the day O lbattle. It has never passed into tho hands of an enemy for permanen keeping. It bears on it's azure ant crimson folds, the word that no fer! conflict has erased. the word Victory But great as is it's history. that flas has now taken on a ney consecratioI

WAR SAVINGS STAMPS
 FREE FROM TAX
Says Statement Issued Sunday by
 Howell Cheney.

In response to q number of inquiries received from many sections of Con- necticut, Howell Cheney, state direc- tor of the National War Savings Com mittee, Sunday issued a statement clearing up all uncertainty which has existed regarding the question of the tax status of war savings certificates. Mir Cheney's statement sets forth the fact that war savings stamps are free lows:
 When preparing for the issuing of thrift stamps and war savings certi- ficates, the national administration wisely decided that they should not be subject to any taxes. federal, state or local. In this respect, ts E are entire ly unique, being free when almost ev- erything else of value is subject to in1post.
 | As the amount that an individual may hold is limited to 5000. this con- cession does not deal unjustly toward other security holders. It is simply an inducement to the small investor to make an unusual effort in his own eountry's behalf, by depositing as much of his surplus with the govern ment as possible. Those who buy these little bonds should understand in ad- vance of the coming days of taxation return in April that whatever of their earned savings or surplus derived from economies is converted into Thrift Stamps and War Savings cer- 1 tif1cates need not be recorded upon the assessors blank As the interest and principal are payable in 1923, neither is it necessary to make mention of the | investments in the return to the in- | come tax collector
 "They are. as stated, absolutely fret
 and as they also pay per cens. com
 pound interest, are the best securitie. 1 tsaat one can buy in these troubled l tinles.'
 1 Sales of thrift stamps and war say ings certificates throughout the coun try have passed the $50,000, 900 mari
 according to a telegram received ol Saturday by State Director Howel Cheney from Frank A. Vanderlip, tn
 head of the war savings campaign. MT. Cheney has been advised tha the sales are steadily increasing il
 volume. and that they now are in ex
 cess of $2,001.000 every day. Withil a short time it is believed that pa triotic citizens will be buying to tn extent of $3,0o0,00G every day, wit,
 further increases in prospect as tn
 campaign gains momentum.
 MT. Vanderlip's telegram to MI
 Cheney also contains the followin statement: '1t is only by teaching a
 our people to save and not to com pete for labor and materials with tn lgovernment that we can place tn
 whole strength of the nation into tn prosecution of the war. The sur
 way to raise the 2,00o,0oo,9o0 in tn
 war savings campaign is for tn ; 100000 workers in every city and tow , in the country and make it the com , mon purpose, and resolve to sprea this gospel so that there will be a army of 75,o0o,e0o war savers . At the present time there are mor . than 2,500 agencies throughout Cor r necticut where thrift stamps and wa . savings certificates may be purchas 7 ed, according to figures given out { } the office of the state director of. ws 5 savings.

and an unwonted glory. Hitherto it's history has seemed provincial. It has defended and protected, conserved and transmitted national rights and ra- tionai honor, but our flag has broken out into a larger world to take new offices and services to mankind. It is leading our brave sons and brothers to the greater work of the emancipa- ton of a world. It leads them to battle which is to save humanity, make the whole world safe from the clutches of despots It's body, like Ia new Calvary. as if tffe nation had caught the passion of the cross and was laying down its most precious gifts that all nations may be free. Surely a nation that will come to this new golgotha to redeem nations must find for itself as for other peo- pies a great future and new conse- cration to- the great ideals of national life. A nation assuming such high tasks and flag that leads the way to such a goal are surely now worth
 dying for. I give joy to the brave
 young hearts who have offered them selves to this task and I give joy to
 the equally brave fathers and mothers
 that have so freely yielded up their
 sons to the work of saving, not coun- 1 try, but the world
 We cannot dedicate this flag. The ] new national ideal and the great world task have dedicated 1t and made this
 flag the symbol of a national sacrifice which no nation has eyer made and
 which other nations can only distant. ly initiate. Through what we are do. ling and our associated nations are do. ing this world shall have its new birtl of freedom and Gods divine event tt which the whole creation moves sfal be brought nearer and further on it: way.
