Ad, CHRISTMAS RUSH OPENS POSTOFFICE RECEIPTS LEAP $1000 OVER THOSE OF DAY BEFORE. Organization of Parcel Post Force Pre pares Department to Care for Enormous Business). The Christmas rush is on in Portland. Postmaster Myers says so, and he knows. The reason Is that yesterday the business of the local office was $1000 in advance of the business the corresponding day a year - ago. The total business for the day was around 14000, as against $3000 for the day last year. December last year, furthermore. was the heaviest month in the history of the local office, and the rush yes terday signifies that this December will smash all records again. "This means that the early Christmas shopping movement has taken hold," said Postmaster Myers. "The parcel post department is doing an enormous traffic and we are organized this year to the last fine detail 'for expediting the business. We expert a constant In crease daily now and the fact that the mailing has gone ahead early is gratifying."

SEAT SALE OPENS TODAY Jobn McCormack, Great Tenor, Be at Heillg Friday Night. to The seat sale for the John McCor mack song recital at the Heilig Theater Friday night, under the direction of Steers & Coman, will open at the Hei lig this morning. A well-known writer of wide acquaintance among musical celebrities of Europe and America said: "John McCormack easily is the great est lyric tenor the world has produced in the past two generations. I say this because I have heard them all, and have been personally acquainted with most of them. I make no pretenses re garding the technique of music. But at the McCormack recital I saw a Frenchman cry and grip my hand at his "J'ai Pleure en Reve," an English man blubber at his "Mother Macree," a German grow misty at his song, in that language; a man who speaks Italian as fluently as English catch for breath in his "La Donna e Mobile." and when it comes down to the Irish well, you leave, that to me. Now there has been nothing like it done in all the world. The heart-grip of the thing, to one who understands the Irish tempera' ment, leaves you next to dead." $2500 BONDS FORFEITED Nathan.
