most of the recipients have filled in
the necessary information so that the
postoffice could forward teh bonds to

payment. The number of $50 bonds
so far certified varies from one to
fifteen—$50 to $759.
Last evening 46 applications to
have the bonds converted into cash
were mailed to Portland. The postal
inspector, here last week, stated that
