WHX YOU VOLUNTEER
TO FIGHT IN THE WAR?
This is strictly a call on the Patriotism of the People of Georgia, who
never have passed up a hunger call of a suffering people of
their own or another nation in distress
The foregoing are FACTS,
means
foregoing are FACTS. Those rules are LAW and they apply all over the United States. Compliance with them
furthering the fight against Ring Power of a Monarch and to save the world from Monarchial Government.
GEORGIA FIGHTS BEST WHEN SHE FIGHTS FROM LOVE OF HER CAUSE
AND BECAUSE SHE WANTS TO FLY HER BANNER AT THE HEAD OF ALL
No State has offered the nation of which it is a part more than Georgia has in the past. No people have responded to
humanity’s plea more readily. Now to the point:
If ESTIMATES promise to accomplish the task this country MUST meet, of feeding our own and our associated
armies by the conservation of wheat flour products under the foregoing REGULATIONS and by the observance of TWO
WHEATLESS DAYS A WEEK, how much more certain will that accomplishment be made if we VOLUNTARILY go
before the world with
A WHEATLESS WEEK-SEVEN DAYS, FROM APRIL 21 TO 27 INCLUSIVE-IN WHICH EVERY HOUSE-
HOLD IN GEORGIA WILL FOREGO, ON ITS OWN MOTION, THE CONSUMPTION OF ANY WHEAT?
No other ttate has been asked to do this, but if Georgia does it others will have to follow or prove their shortness of
a patriotism in keeping with that of the EMPIRE STATE OF THE SOUTH. It is going to be only a repetition of that
history which this state has written, by action in past years. Georgia will stand in all the nation, and at the most crit
ical period of the war, as THE LEADER AMONG STATES in a voluntary service which will be CERTAIN OF RE
SULTS.
The County Council of Defense in Each county, and the Chamber of Commerce in each community in Georgia is
asked to immediately put itself behind the request for a
VOLUNTARY WHEATLESS WEEK IN GEORGIA APRIL 21 TO 27
and communicate to the Federal Food Administrator for Georgia, 414 Chamber of Commerce Building, Atlanta, Ga.,
just as nearly as possible the exact amount of wheat and wheat products saved in their community. This statistical in
formation is desired to present to the United States Food Administration in Washington TO KEEP GEORGIA’S
RECORD STRAIGHT and to be held up as
AN EXAMPLE TO ALL THE OTHER STATES OF THE UNION

HELP YOUR TOWN
WIN THIS FLAG
HOT CONTEST WAGED
FOR HONOR FLAG
Every City And County Which Euyi
Quota Of Liberty Bonds Will Be
Given An Attractive Banner
HOT C0NTE8T.
Atlanta.—States, counties and towns
which Bubscrlbe their quota of the
Third Liberty Loan, will bo entitled
to an honor flag, just aa families
who give their sons to thy country
display a service Bag. To impress the
fact that a contribution of money
toward the winning of the war Is
quite as essential as' the contribution
of men, the olflclala of tho treasury
department have put this Idea Into
effect
This la a new idea Incorporated la
the Liberty Loan honor campaign.
There is to be great rivalry all over
the United States for tho honor of
winning one of these flags. Every hr
[dividual subscrIBer will have a win
dow card, on which his name is to
be Inscribed for display from tho win
dowa of his residence or place ol
business.
Tho new flag has tho red border
and the white Held of the Red Cross
membership flag. But Instead of the
crosses on the fleld tho Liberty Loon
flag will have three vertical blue
strlpeB to Indicate the number of tho
loan. Honor flags furnished to cities
and towns are to he 35x54 Inches and
are to bo made of the best material
as furnished to tho navy.
Rivalry la Growing.
A blue star will be Inserted on tho
white fleld in addition to tho stripes
will also bear on tho white Held the
names of the towns In the stats that
have completed the required quota.
As rapidly as the various towns re^
port, their names will be added.
Over the treasury department
building In Washington will float the
largest flag of the entire series. This
flag will bear the names of the differ,
ont states which will reach their quo
ta. There will be the liveliest rivalry
between every state In the Union to*#-
secure tho honor of having Its name
go on this national flag, Just as coni*
Petitl-n between cities and towns
will be of the most exciting kind.
The Idea that the name of each
community Is to go down on the state
honor flag Just as soon as its .limit
Is reached Is already being widely dis
cussed. Committees in towns where
much rivalry has alfeady existed with
neighboring towns are already organ
izing for a whirlwind campaign In
order to beat their rivals to the state
honor list. Ambitious towns that are
anxious for municipal publicity are
catching at the Idea with a view of
having their success in tho campaign
flashed throughout the state and Fed
eral Reserve District.
Tho first town in the United States ,!
above two thousand in population
which reports to the secretary of the
treasury the full subscription of Its
quota will bo Bignally honored. Its
name and achievement will be flash
ed over the entire country by all presR
associations, giving tho fact of Its
success. Secretary McAdoo may visit
the town in person, and present the
honor flag with his own hands to the
committee which has been able to
lead the nation in the campaign.
With the secretary’s party wlil go
motion picture camera men from tho
Hearst-Pathe News Pictorial, who will
make pictures of the presentation
ceremonies and other Interesting
Views of the town; and these pic
tures will be displayed from one end
of the country to the other.
Honor Rolls Given Out
Every community will be furnished
with an honor roll to aid the com-t
mittee in securing subscriptions. This
honor roll, a large sheet 25x38 Inches,
will bear at the top a reproduction of
the honor flag, with tho words- “Help
our town win the right to fly this
flag.” Below will be left space for
the signatures of all those who buy
bonds. This honor roll will be simi
lar to that on the. state and national
service flags.
Just as soon ns the full quota Is
subscribed, and the right to fly the
flag has been won. special exercises
will be prepared in each community
to mark tho flag .raising. The gov
ernors of the states In the Sixth dis
trict have learned of the plans with
Interest, and it Is probable that they
will be present at the flag raising In
their different states.
Practically every committee
throughout the district Is hard at wc
with their organizations, making so
cial efforts to land a flag as short-
uuumon to tno stripes ciai e irons 10 iana a nag as snort-
If the community doubles Its quota. | ly after the opening of the campaign
In event that It Is tripled or quad- as possible. The many te
mpled. two or three stars will then
I be added.
Each state which reaches Its allot
ment will receive a large flag. In ad
dition to the stripes, this state flag
which will arise between the towns
In this part of the country will be
watched with keen Interest. jy
■ This committee is arranged In several
1 sections. Ones cction of the commit
tee will secure homes for the dele-
gates, another section will assign tho
