HELP YOUR TOWN
WIN THIS FLAG
HOT CONTEST WAGED
FOajTONOR FLAG
Every City And County Which Buys
Quota Of Liberty Bonds Will Be
Given An Attractive Banner
HOT CONTEST.
Atlanta. —States, counties and towns
which subscribe their ouota* of
Third Liberty T.oan, will be entitled
to an honor flag, just as families
who give their sons to the country
display a service flay. 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 officials of the treasury
department have put this idea into
effect.
This is a new idea incorporated In
the Liberty Loan honor campaign.
There is to be great rivalry all over
the United States for the honor of
winning one. of these flays. Every in
dividual 'suhscriner wijl have a win
dow card, on which his name is to
be inscribed for display from the win
dows of his residence or place of
business.
The new flay has the red border
and the white field of the Red Cross
membership ,flay. Rut instead of the
crosses on the field the Liberty Loan
flay will have three vertical blue
stripes to indicate the number of the
loan. Honor flays furnished to cities
and towns are to be RGx54 inches and
are to be made of the best material
as furnished to the navy.
Rivalry is Growing.
A blue star will be inserted on the
white field in addition t 0 the stripes
if the community doubles its quota.
In event that it is tripled or quad
rupled, two or three stars will then
be added.
Each state which reaches its allot
ment will receive a largo flay. In ad-*
dition to the stripes, this state flag
will also bear on the white field the
‘names of the towns in the state that
have completed the recmired quota.
As rapidly as the various towns re
port, their names will be added.

Swift & Company’s 1918 Year Book
It shows that Swift & Company sells the meat from
a steer for less money then the live steer cost i
Proceeds from the sale of the hide, fat, and other by-products
covered all expense of dressing, refrigeration, freight, selling
expense and the profit of $1.29 per steer as shown by Swift &

Average price paid for live cattle per steer >584.45

Average price received for by-products 24.09

building in Washington will float the
largest flay of the entire series. This
flay will bear the names of the differ
ent states which will reach their quo
ta. There will he the liveliest rivalry
between every- state in the Union to
secure the honor of haviny its name
yo on this national flay, just as com
petition between cities and towns
will be of the most exciting kind.
The idea that the name of each
community is to yo down on the state
honor flay just as soon as its limit
is reached is already beiny widely dis
cussed. Committees in towns where
much rivalry has already 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 a,re
anxious for municipal publicity are
catching at the idea with a view of
ha' inv their success in the campaiyn
flashed throuyhont the state and Fed
eral Reserve District.
The 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 be signally honored. Tts
name ard achievement will be flash
ed over the enMr« country hv all press
associations, yiving the fact of its
success. Secretary may visit
.the town in nersnn, and oresent. the
honor flay with his own hands to the
committee which has been able to
lead the nation in the campaiyn.
With the secretary’s party will yo
motion nirture camera men from the
Hearst-Pathe Xews Pictorial, who will
make pictures of the presentation
corpmonios find othor iTtorostins;
views of the town• and these pi r .
tures will be disn’eved From one end
of the country to the other.
Honor Rolls Given Out.
Every community will tm- furnished
with an honor roll to aid the com
mittee in securing suhscrintinus tm-t
honor roll, a larve sheet 25 RS irehes.
will hear a t the top a reproduction of
the honor flag, with the words- “Help
our town win the right to fly this
flay.” Relow will he left soao.e 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 as the full quota is
subscribed, and the right to flv.thf
flag has been won, special exercises
will he prepared in each community
to mark the png 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 work
with their organizations, making spe
cial efforts to land a flag as short
ly after the opev'ng of the campaiyn
as possible. The many rivalries
which will arise between the towns
in this part of the country will be
watched with keen interest.

Do your part towards increasing your na

at the same time, by raising Hereford Cattle
—the Dest beef Dreed. Herefords produce
more beef and better beef, at less cost and
in shorter time than any other breed of
cattle.
Start today by crossing a good Hereford
bull with your native cows, or lay the foun

buying a Hereford bull and a few good
Hereford cows or heifers.
