DATE FOR RAISING OF LIBERTY
LOAN FLAG WILL BE PUB
LISHED LATER

1t was announced last week that the
honor flag for this county which was
given to this county by the treasury
department for going over the top in
the Third Liberty Loan race was to
have been raised in the park last
Saturday evening and an appropriate
program had been arranged. The
weather prevented this and the rails
ing was postponed. This is the coun-
ty flag and was won by the subscrip-
ton of every subscriber in the county
to the Third Liberty Loan bond and
the committee wants to have it when
the weather is nice so that all may
have an opportunity to be present and
enjoy the occasion.
We are informed that we are third
or fourth county in the state. Some two
or three counties in the state went Ov-
er their allotment by greater per
centage than we did but they had. fall
en- down badly on the first two loans.
We feel sure that taking the three
loans together that Audubon county
is the high county in the state. Ev.
erybody is well pleased and glad that
they played part in the big success
We believe that nearly ninety-five per
| cent of the homes in the county now
own bond.
We will announce another date fol
raising the flag in our next issue.
