Mrs. Belle Sterner
Dies Suddenly at
Glenwood, Iowa
Resident of This City for a Great
llznj Years 111 Bat a Few
Hours on Sunday.
Mrs. Belle Stoner. of this city, died
very suddenly late Sunday afternoon
ct Glenwood, Iowa, where she Las
been for the past severel years, a
number of the staff at the Iowa State
Institute in that city.
Lire. Stoner had been on duty as
usual Sunday and was relieved at 2
o'clock for her rest period and had
retired to her room, being taken very
ill in a short time and medical aid
called. Her condition indicated a
revere case of plural pneumonia and
messages were sent to the members
i.f her family in this city, but before
they could leave for Glenwood the
second message announced her death.
Mrs. Stoner was formerly Mis3

end Mrs. Abraham Rupley and was
born August 27, 1873, at Lorkport,
Illinois. With her parents she came
to Plattsniouth in 1892 and had since

She was married in 1895 to Wes

Many Apply
for the New
Sonus Bonds
Typewriters Click as Blanks Filled
Out for Veterans at the Legion
Building Thursday Night
It is estimated that the total
number of bonus applications
prepared in Plattsmonth during
the week that has elapsed since
the first blanks were received by
the local Legion post, exceeds
120, representing a total sum to
te paid the holders of these cer
tificates on June 15, of around
$55,000, or about one-fifth of
the total estimated funds coming
to Cass county veterans.
Typewriters clicked at the Legion
building Thursday night as a crew
of volunteer typists, working under j
direction of Legion Service Otficer
A. H. Duihury ground out bonus ap
plications for the large number of
ex-service men gathered there to re
ceive the advantage of the Legion's
proffered free service. Not only were
the blanks neatly typed, but all ap
plicants were fingerprinted in the
same efficient manner as was done
in army days, and the applications
prcperly sworn to by Notary Public
Otto A. Keck, a Legion member, who
gave his services free.
Of all the applications filled out to
date, by far the great majority are
found to have loans against them of
well nigh the allowable 50 per cent
of their face value. Occasionally a
veteran is found who has hung onto
his certificate and as a result is now
due to receive a 100 rer cent lump
sum settlement.
The law provides for remission cf
interest on outstanding loans against
the certificates, from and after 1931,
since wnicn time most or tne out
standing loans have been made. As
result, veterans will have deducted
from the face value of their certifi
cates only the principal of their re
spective leans, Payment will be made
in "thrilt" bonds of $30 denomina
tion, with balances covered by a
treasury check.
Most cf the applications made out
hero hare been sent to the Veterans'
Administration Facility at Lincoln,
although quite a few made out for
former Missourians employed here in
river development projects go to the
regional veterans' offices in that
state for compilation of balances due
the applicants.
The face value of certificates has
varied greatly, running from around
$150 up to within a dollar of the
maximum figure of SI, 489. Eugene
Vroman, former sailor, whose service
was largely oa the ocean (counted as
overseas service) has the largest cer
tificate cleared so far, the face value
cf same being $1,584.
Men with six months' service in
the United States are getting around
$330; those with a year's home ser
vice, around $840. Veterans having
overseas service credit are paid cor
respondingly larger sums based on
the 25 per cent greater per day pay
allowance, multiplied by the "two-
point-plus" factor dependent on their
age at time of applying all subject
to deductions for any amounts bor
rowed on their certificates.
What will the veterans do with
their money when they get it?
From random Interviews It would
seem that it will be expended to good
advantage the payment of past due
debts, purchase of clothing, purchase
or remodeling of a home or to reduce
indebtedness on home, to go Into bus
iness, etc. Some will retain their new
"thrift bonds" as they have their
present certificates, letting them pile
up interest for them at the rate of 3
per cent per annum. The bonds may
he cashed one at a time as needert
always at full face value thus pro
viding an inducement for veterans
not to cash any greater number of
them than absolutely necessary.
Some will buy new automobiles, or
trade their old second hand cars in
for newer second hand cars. One fel
low said he was going to cash one of
his bonds as soon as it arrives and
put the money into his pocket just
to carry it around and see how It
would seem to have money again, af
ter going empty-pocketed for so long
a time.
On the whole, the veterans -will
spend their bonus money in about the
same manner and for the same things
that any other representative group
of citizens would do if made the bene
ficiaries of such a large grant as pay-
