E. KRUGER RECEIVER OF
THREATENING LET TER.
POLICE TAKE STEPS TO CATCH
AUTHOR BUT WITH NO
RESULTS TO DATE

The attached threatening letter was
handed to Mr.. E. Kruger in his store
on East Pine street about $50 last
Monday morning, by an unknown ne
gro boy, who made his getaway be-
fore Mr.. Kruger realized the contents
of the threatening missive.
Mr.. Kruger took immediate steps
to catch the author or authors of the
letter, by having Chief Strickland
lend the assistance of his department,
but thus far, no arrest has been made.
No harm has come to the little daugh-
ter of Mr.. Kruger and no damage
thus far has been attempted on his
property, upon which close watch
is being kept.
The letter, written evidently by
some illiterate person in pencil reads !:

Mr.. L. Kruger:
This is to let you know that we
have your girl. If you talk over the
phone or to the law you will not see
her again, Just put $4,000 in box

Student Meets With
Painful Accident

L. ]. Strickland, a student of the
State College of Agriculture at
Athens, met with painful accident,
when riding on the fender of coupe
driven by John F. Healy, of San
ford, Conn. Strickland, who was
hiking home to Waycross, secured a
ride north of Madison and as the par
ty was enroute to Jacksonville, con-
sidered himself fortunate.
Six miles north of Abbev'lle, about
nine o'clock, car driving north, came
too close to the car and hit Strickland,
who was in a sitting position on the
right fender of the coupe going
south. Mr.. Healy brought Strickland
to Fitzgerald, being unable to locate
a physician in Abbeville. DR.. R. M.
Ware was summoned to the Empire
Hotel and dressed the young mans
wounds, which though painful were
found not to be serious. Accompany
ing Mr.. Healy was Harry Buck, also
of Sanford, Conn, who left Tuesday
morning for their destination in Flor
ida.

BY PAULINE Farrell

CHRISTMAS, just one word, and yet
" in that one word there is a world
wide meaning and significance.
Everywhere, for all time, Christmas
has been, to people of varying creeds,
a day of varying emotions. 1t is a
day of gladness or one of bitterness.
It is a day on which happy memories
become glorified or hard thoughts
sting like acid in an open wound. 1t
is day that banishes halfway meas
ures-a day that may easily lift one
to the heights of happiness-and just
as easily plunge one to the depths of
misery.
For those who do not feel it at all,
for those whose feelings are indiffer-
ent, something in life has gone
wrong.
Christmas is what we make it. To
many, it is the day of greatest hap
piness. Those who>recognize the OPP
portunities it's offers of taking little
bit of joy to the lonely, sick and poor,
know that Christmas is the best day
in the year-and there is no question
in their mind as to why they do the
very same things Christmas after
Christmas. They know. definitely
why they hand gstockings for the
kiddies, light Christmas trees, decor
ate their homes, and spend endless
hours in surging, struggling, Christ
mas crowds to secure tiny token for
some friend Certainly, they know
the Joy of Christmas Day is only for
those who lose themselves in remeat-

The Christmas Spirit

Christmas is day OF giving and tax"

worry, distress, sorrow and ill-will

Those are The people whom you hear
say that the modern Christmas is los

it is now viciously commercialized by
dollar-mad business men.
Gifts in themselves are of little

thing else--and behind the gift is the
sentiment that is the real significance
of Christmas. 1t is the spirit of love
and good-fellowship-of peace and
goodwill.
Believe in Christmas yourself and
make it what it should be, rather than
cave it to others to make it what you
would like it to be. Make spirited

knockout.
Louie Avery, Jewish boy of Tulsa,

Moscow.-(S.A.)- problem of
spreading professional and technical
education among the Jews of Russia
is seriously occupying the minds of
Jewish communist leaders in the
U. s. S. r.
In an article in "Emes," V. Arten-
berg dwells en- the importance of such
education for the Jewish future. 1t
is clear, writes Mr.. Artenberg, that
sooner or later 30 per cent of the Jew
ish population in the U. S. S. X. will
have to adopt some productive occu-
patton, and be adapted to the general
process of industrialization of the
country.
The Jewish artisans in the small
towns may be psychologically prepared
for such changes, but not technically.
Most Of them still use primitive meth
ods, and have no conception of the
complicated and highly productive
technical equipment of which the
countries of western Europe boast.
The writer suggests a net of tech
nicsl schools for youths and adults,
and u staff of expert advisers and
teachers, from which personnel may
be recruited to send to every Jewish
town.
