cepted by W. W. Allen. head of the
transfer department of the bank. who
is in charge of the sale, and she paid
her $50 deposit.
By order of Secretary Dick, of the

she had bought the. bonds.
The purchaser said she was widow
and owned a farm in Olney. She had q

in until the sale had been officlally
open for two hours. There were, how
