The committees, who are making the canvass, report favor able, but the quota of $40,000 has not been secured, but there is every indication that it will be attained before the end of the week. Two enthusiastic meetings began the Third Liberty Loan drive in south Polk county. Saturday after noon, a large delegation of Buena Vista people visited Independence and with a delegation of our citi zens paraded the streets after which everyone went to the Isis theatre where a number of speeches were delivered, interspersed with music al numbers. Hobart M. Dickson of the navy was the star of the after noon. He has recently completed a four years’ enlistment and after a short visit with relatives will again go back into the service. Mr. Dickson gave an interesting ac count of his experiences in France and declared with much emphasis that the American boys were over there to win and would win and he wanted the people at home to stay by them. He related many anec dotes and one especially showed the cleverness of the American com mander. A German submarine had been coming to the top near a light house on the coast of Ireland several times a week to enjoy a brief brt>ath- ing spell. Efforts were made to catch it but it munaged to escape each time. Eventually an Ameri can commander took charge and laid plans to get the elusive enemy. One dark night he moved the light house several rods and a few nights later the sub came to the top in what it supposed was the same old place and found itself stuck on a bar and was captured. The Sunday night meeting was also held at the Isis and a very ^large crowd was present. Besides several numbers of rtmsic, patri otic addresses were made by D. E. Fletcher, Dr. 11. C. Dunsmore and HONOR FLAGS TO BE WON IN BOND SALE In connection with the Third Liberty Loan campaign, which be gan April 6th, various features are being introduced throughout the nation. We read that every city and town in the country which sub scribes more thain its quota of Lib erty Bonds will be awarded an “Honor Flag" by the treasury de partment and that other means will be taken to commerate unusual showings . The honor Hags to be distributed will be thirty-six inches wide and fifty six inches long. The body of the'flag will be white with a broad red border, and three broad blue vertical stripes denoting the third loan. The flags will be of the same quality as the flags of the navy, are already being manufactured and will be awarded as fast as the right to fly them is won. Though award ed by the treasury department, they will be distributed by the dif ferent districts. There will be a national honor Hog for each state, to be flown at the sta'te capitol, with the name of each town winnig a flag inscribed upon it. There will also be pre served in the United States treasu ry a national honor flag, with the record of each state recorded on it. Stars, to be placed on the flag of each city or town doubling its quota, will also be awarded, and an addi tional star for each time the quota is doubled. An honor roll, containing the names of all subscribers, but not the amount of the individual sub scriptions, will be kept in each community. A window card, bear ing a representation of the honor flag, will be given each subscriber to the loan, to be displayed at the home or place of business.

HONOR FLAGS TO BEWON IN BOND SALE
In connection w ith the Third Liberty Loan cam paign, which began April 6th, various features are being introduced throughout the nation. We read that every city and town in the country which subscribes more thain its quota of Liberty Bonds will be aw arded an “Honor Flag" by the treasury departm ent and that other m eans will be taken to com m erate unusual showings .
The honor Hags to be distributed will be thirty-six inches wide and fifty six inches long. The body of the 'flag will be white w ith a broad red border, and three broad blue vertical stripes denoting the third loan. The flags will be of the same quality as the flags of the navy, are already being m anufactured and will be aw arded as fast as the right to fly them is won. Though aw arded by the treasury departm ent, they will be d istributed by the different districts.
There will be a national honor Hog for each state, to be flown at the sta'te capitol, w ith the nam e of each town w innig a flag inscribed upon it. There will also be preserved in the United States treasu ry a national honor flag, w ith the record of each sta te recorded on it.
S tars, to be placed on the flag of each city or town doubling its quota, will also be awarded, and an additional s ta r for each time the quota is doubled.
An honor roll, containing the nam es of all subscribers, but not the am ount of the individual subscriptions, will be kept in each community. A window card, bearing a representation of the honor flag, will be given each subscriber to the loan, to be displayed at the home or place of business.
