FROM HICKORY GROVE

Maybe will get the Army and

scribble anyway And the Govt,
I reckon it cannot slap me in Jail
for same, like as if I maybe rails
ed a row or two rows too much
cotton. And what I got in mind.
is Admirals and Generals, gettin'
retired at 81.
But for any outfit that has its
feet on the ground, I will nomin-
ate thees two-fisted babies-and
/ will take my hat off to them.
And at 81, they are not all wash
ed up, by a long shot.
And these so-called old boys.
they have had experience and
were brought up on discipline,
and they have built a navy and
an army that has the worlds re-
spect-and when a tough job is
on hand. they do it-not manana,
but today.
So instead of retirin' these Brig
adierS, etc, at ga. which is an in
suit, we better tack on another
four years-and honor them, in
places like Congress, and for Gov
errors. etc. And the ship-of-state

chased as soon as possible. On
vote it was agreed that the chief
should write at once to companies

ment and get prices on the diff
ferent grades, and present the re-
suits at the next meeting of the
board.
Mr.. Baker said that the depart
ment needed about 1000 feet Of
the hose, and the cost was, prob
ably, a fraction more than 81 per
foot. He would have the accurate
information ready for the next
meeting of the board.
Handling of trash and garbage
of the county was brought before
the meeting, and it was decided
to let VIM Knight, whose Serv-
ices have been satisfactory in the
past, continue until the decision
is handed down by Judge Arthur
Gomez, before whom the question
has been placed, relative to the
ordinance, and who is expected
to render his opinion following a
hearing in Key West, possibly,
this week.

Peace Justice Lowe, of Taver-
nier, asked what was the status
of the county redistricting prop
oSition, which was discussed some
time ago. The reply was given
by Attorney Harris, that the en-
tire movement had practically
been discarded, because of numer-
Gus matters which had been
brought out in a study of the
proposition, and that he had given
an opinion to the effect that the
matter was unconstitutional.
The report of a group of dis
interested freeholders of Monroe
county, who were appointed to
make a survey of a 80 foot road

MAYOR LACUARDIA
 RECEIVES THREAT
Special Police Guard Will Surround Him Tonight
 at Rally

New York, Dec. 9-(UP)-A spe- cial police guard was arranged for Mayor F. H. LaGuardia at his citi- zens' rally against oppression at Carnegie Hall tonight because of a threat against his life.
 Fingerprint and ballistics experts of the police department and post ofice inspectors examined a letter and a loaded cartridge enclosed in 1t. The letter read: You will get this if you continue to attack the Ger man Nazi party" The signature was 8 reversed swastika-the Nazi em- blem backwards. The bullet was a .22 caliber long. It was encaSed in a small cardboard box. The hand writing was bold and upright.
 La Guardia took the letter seri- ously. It was postmarked Long Island City, N. Y., at midnight Wednesday and arrived with the first mail at city hall yesterday.
 Usually ignore messages like this from cranks, but this one is dif- ferent and think it should be made public" 1" the mayor said. He said 1t was the first letter he had ever re- ceived directly threatening his life.

New York, Dec. g - (UP) The mystery of the missing $lO,000, 900" "a shortage which threw the 1O5- year-old drug and liquor company of McKesson & Robbins into re- ceivership developed today into one of the most fantastic cases of finan- cial trickery in Wall Street annals ,. Investigators for the Stock Ex- change, the Securities and Ex- change Commission and other agencies were NnIy beginning to get under the surface of the situation that was revealed with disclosure that upward of $10,OOO,OOO of the company's listed assets of 86,556, ,269 had vanished.
 But already they had before them the testimony of two corporation officers who were themselves bewil- dered. The Stock Exchange made public testimony given by w. l.. Cummings, director and Julian F. Thompson, treasurer and also di- rector.
