SERMONS BY PHONE
Residents of Guernsey Islands Have Attended Services on Broadcast jug Theory for Many Years

Guernsey Island, Eng, Nov 29.- The small island of Guernsey, in the English channel, has been enjoying 3 unique telephone service for the past A years. Every Sunday morning subscribers. at least some of them, sit at home and listen to the sermon from the church over the wires, and in summer they are entertained in the same way by the music of the local band. They simply ask central for the necessary connection, and a trans hitter affixed to the pulpit or in front of the bandstand does the rest.
 Guernsey developed this system as far back as 1898, when broadcasting was undreamed of and telephones relatively few and far apart. For A years the natives of these unfrequent- ed islands have been enjoying the benefits of broadcasting system which today is becoming widespread through radio.
 There are eight telephones to every 100 inhabitants of Guernsey, and the service is said to be the cheapest in the world. There is no installation charge. and for a business connection the cost is s1500 a year; residence telephones are even cheaper. There were no eases made in the charges s the war, and the sys- tenn has -. ays been a paying propo- sition.

LEGISLATION IS
 COOPERATIVE AIM
National Council Will Meet in Washington, December 14-16

Dallas, Tex, Nov. 29.-The meeting Of the National Council of Farmers Co-operatives to be held in Washing ton, December 14 to 16, is the result of common desire on the part of the cooperative marketing organiza- tons throughout the United States to obtain national" legislation on rural credits and the same desire on the part of leaders in congress by enact ing into a law a rural credits bill that will meet the need of agriculture, ac- cording to G. O. Moser of the Texas Farm Bureau, and member of the council.
 Virtually one-sixth of all the agri- cultural commodities of the United States now are sold comparatively, he said, and the success or failure of such institutions is matter of great national concern. There are now ap- proximately 150 such organizations doing an annual business in excess of billion dollars
 The conference, while designed chiefly to confer with the national leaders in congress in the matter of the financial legislation, will discuss other needs of agricultural credit, both from the standpoint of livestock and crop production and of market ing.
 Representatives of virtually all of the large cooperative marketing as- sociations will be present and partici pate in the conference, including the California fruit groups, the apple or ganizations of the North west, the wheat organizations of the North and Middle-west, the potato organizations of Maine, Michigan, New York and Wisconsin, the milk organizations of New England and Chicago as well as the perishable associations in the southern states, including those of Florida.

 Hoarding War Material

Chicago, Nov. 29 (By the Asociat- ed Press)-Georges Clemenceau halt ed his appeals for American friend ship for France today for rest in pre- paration for continuation of his tour Thursday morning. Last night he re- mained up for an hour past his usual bed time, or until 9 o'clock, despite the strain of his speech at the audi torium and the greatest ovation he has received since his arrivalN Nn Ann erica, eveItheless he was up short ly after dawn.
 Although no formal program had been outlined, it was expected he would spend the day receiving a few callers and in making an automobile tour of the city.
 He also read with much interest comments on his speech of yesterday in which he declared that while France was seeking only peace, war was being forced upon her.
 After his speech in the auditorium he said he wanted to return there to- opera company's presentation of the
 0nOW Maloen.I
 Tomorrow morning he will go to Springfield, H., to lay wreath on Lincoln's tomb. From there he will go to St. Louis, where he speaks to- morrow night. He then will go to Washington.
 A copy of what Clemenceau termed a certified official report of the allied commission of much hidden war ma terial unearthed in Germany shared in the attention given his speech to- day.
 The theme of the Tigers" address was taken from the epitaph on Gen. Grants tomb in New York 'let us have peace"
 Quoting from what he termed an | official report on unearthed war ma terial in Germany Cemenceau stoted that it clearly showed why France felt large army must be maintained.
 Thousands of rifles, pistols, car ridges, parts of guns, field telephone wire and quantities of other war ma ,erial dug up in 45 separate instances since July 15, 1921, were mentioned n the report.
 The Tiger has received a belated telegram from Samuel Gompers, president of the American Federation ,f Labor who complimented M. Clem- ,nceau on his Metropolitan Opera IouSe address.
