FROM DAYS GONE BY April 5, 1918

April 5, 1918.
Johnson County can win the right to fly Honor Flag as the Treasury Department will donate the Honor Flag to the county reaching its quota first in the Third Liberty Loan campaign.
In the Third Liberty Loan campaign which begins on Saturday April 6th, each county will be given a quota to reach in its subscriptions and the county which reaches its quota first will be given Honor Flag and plans will be made to have a national patriotic rally at the county seat of the county winning out first, at which this Honor Flag will be raised. Each purchaser of a bond will be given a picture of this Honor Flag.
Secretary McAdoo will visit the first county putting over their subscriptions and make an address. The Hearst-Pathe Moving Picture Company will make a film of the flag and city and rally in which the event occurs and show it all over the country. The Governor will be present and assist in the service.
What about Johnson County going over the top first? It can be done and done easily it is believed. The plan and all information is being given the county from one end of it to the other. Every nook and corner, every hamlet, town, village and community is being carried the information which the people want to know about the Third Liberty Loan and no stone is being left unturned to get the information properly distributed throughout the county.
Mr. J. H. Rowland is being assisted by able speakers and the matter is being brought to every man's door in the county. At Scott on Thursday afternoon in the Methodist church, at Adrian Friday afternoon on the streets, at Kite Saturday afternoon on the streets, at Wrightsville Sunday night in a Union Service of all the churches to be held at the Christian church, Tucker's Industrial School Tuesday night and at other places, besides a big rally at New Home Friday night and at all of the school houses in the county. The information is intelligently disseminated and distributed out to the people.
On the 6th, the day the bond issue starts a big rally, the largest of all and a combination of all, will be held in Wrightsville at the courthouse at which a national representative will be present to make an address. This man is Mr. DeFore from New Orleans, La.
How about books for the soldier's library? The call has gone out for books to supply our boys with reading matter and so far not but a few have been received by Mrs. J. C. Midyett who is in charge of this feature in the county. All wanted is a good and an interesting book to go in the libraries for the soldiers use when they are indoors and have nothing to do but while away their time or when they are recovering from being wounded or from being sick. Any store in Wrightsville or any office or business will be glad to receive any book which you may have for this purpose if left with them and will turn them over to the proper ones to be sent on to the libraries.
