' By the Honor Flag of the Third
Liberty Loan we will know the pa-
triots of the nations—the individual
patriots, the town, city or county pa-
triots, the state patriots.
The community over which the
Honor Flag flies first will be the com-
munity which has first loaned to
Uncle Sam all he has asked to borrow
from that community to carry on the
war for the freedom of the world.
The specially designed Honor Flag
shown in the picture will be awarded
to every community to which a quota
bas been assigned as soon as that
community has attained that quota.
Then each subscriber in that com-
munity will get a small poster for
home window display containing a re-
production of the Honor Flag and a
blank for the name of the subscriber.
In each community to which a quota
has been assigned a large honor roll
will be posted as conspicuously as
possible at the top of which will be a
Right to Fly This Flag.” Space will
be left below for the enrollment of
names of all subscribers in the com-
munity.
A large Honor Flag will be award-
ed to each state in the union as that
state reaches its queta. On the state
flag will be enrolled the names of the
communities in that state as the com-
munities reach their quota. The flag
will be flown at the capital.
The parent flag of all the Honor
and on it will be recorded the names
of the states in the order in which
they go “over the top.”
The Honor Flag is white with a red
border and three blue horizontal
stripes through the white rectangle.
The Honor Flag for communities
will be 36 inches wide and 54 inches
long. They are of the same quality
as the flags of the navy.
