COOLIDGE SEEKS
ADVICE ON FARLEY
President Sounds Senators on
Plan to Call for Expense Ap-
preparation for Conference.

Washington-President Coolidge, in
working out a plan to accept the
League Of Nations invitation to a
preliminary discussion of a disarma-
ment conference, has sought the views
Of congressional leaders as to the best
method Of procedure.
He conferred with Chairman Borah
Of the senate foreign relations com.
mittee, and Senators Moses, Repub-
lican, New Hampshire, and Lenroot,
Republican, Wisconsin, as to whether
congressional sanction should be given
even in advance of participation in
the preliminary Geneva meeting, at
which an effort will be made to draw
up an agenda for the projected world
arms conference.
Senator Borah and others Of the ir-
reconsilables in the League Of Ma.
tions fight hold that acceptance should
be conditioned upon a very thorough
understanding that the proposed dis.
armament conference would not con-
slider European security pacts and that
this country would not enter into any
kind Of agreement which the League
Of Nations would be called upon ulti-
mately to put into force.

Hope Looms in Mine Strike.

Scranton. Pa.-The secluded resump.
ton of negotiations between the an
thracite miners representatives and
the operators in New York city is
looked upon in the hard coal region as
an indication Of an early end to the
four months strike. The call for the
meeting Of the negotiators, as an
nounced by Alvin Markle af Hazleton,
chairman of the anthracite sub-com.
mittee, shortly before midnight Christ
mas eve, was received throughout the
coal fields with jubilancy. In the
homes of many destitute mine work
ers on Christmas morning the an
nouncement came as the only form of
Yuletide cheer, but one that was re-
garded as compromising for the loss
of the good things which are always
associated with Christmas.

Many Study Theology

There is q prevailing opinion that
the number of clergymen has been
growing less and that the demand is
greatly in excess of the supply. The
census figures report 9,252 more clergy
men in 1920 than in 1910. This repre-
sents a decrease in proportionate num-
bers from 12S to each 100000 popula-
ton in 1910 to 12O In 1920, smaller
proportionate decrease than occurred
both In medicine and in law in the
same period. The recent enrolment
in theological seminaries shows an In
crease. Approximately 5000 students
are enrolled in Protestant theological
schools, exclusive Of schools for
negroes.

A WARNING IS SOUNDED
AGAINST ELM TREE BEETLE
Federal Forest Supervisor Issues Ad-
vice as to Killing the Pest.

Federal Forest Supervisor Issues Ad-
vice as to Killing the Pest.
H. M. Sears, supervisor of the Nat
ural Bridge federal forest area, has
sounded a warning to owners of elms
for shade, if these trees are to be saw
ed from the ravages of the elm leaf
beetle
The supervisor is urging owners OF
these trees, many of which are used
on private lawns and in streets, to
use arsenate of lead spray, which is
advocated just after the buds have
burst and a second time two weeks
later.
Destructive Last Year.
The beetle was very destructive in
the Lynchburg, Va, section during
the spring and summer OF 1924, and
the mild winter makes it probable that
the infestation will continue this year
with increased vigor, unless steps are
taken to combat it.
Irregular holes in the leaves, when
fairly we'll grown show the presence
of this beetle. Supervisor Sears points
out. Later the injured leaves are skele-
tonized from below by yellowish black
larvae up to a half-inch in length,
which also may be observed crawling
on the trunk.
Develop Rapidly.
The beetles will begin to appear
with the buds of the elm and the eggs
are laid when the leaves are fairly
well grown. In about week the eggs
hatch into larvae and these begin at
once to feed on the leaves. Larvae
reach full growth in fifteen to twenty
DAYS and in six to ten days change to
pupae and little later to full-grown
beetle. The second generation OF eggs
appear in July.

Laws Governing Fishing.
No license is required for sport fish
mo in Georgia. A license is necessary
10 fish for commercial purposes in the
elevators of the state A license is al
90 necessary to fish for shad for COM
mercial purposes in any OF thefstreamss
of the state. But no license is required
tn fish in either fresh or salt waters
nj the state when the fish are not
caught for sale.
Be sure you get the consent OF the
landowner before fishing on his land
The law requires it. Verbal consent
onlv is necessary except where one
catches fish for sale by seine, trap,
trot-lines or baskets. In such cases
written permission is necessary.
Between February LIST and July lst
of each year it is a violation of the
law to use seines, baskets, traps or
similar devices for catching fish. Be
tween these dates only hook and line
fishing is permissible.
Many counties of Georgia have
adopted the fve-year Fishing Tackle
Act" which prohibits seining at all
times. If in doubt about your county
ask the clerk of your court or write
the department for information.
If any person shall place in the
waters of any river or creek or any
fresh water drain and dam, trap, net.
seine or other device for catching fish,
unless the main channel of such
stream is left open for space OF ten
feet for rivers, and one-third OF the
channel for any creek at low-water
mark unobstructed for the free pass
age OF fish up and down such streams
he shall be guilty of misdemeanor."
This does not apply to dams Tor mill
ing or manufacturing purposes.
Where two grand Juries OF county
have so recommended it, it becomes
violation of law to float sawdust into
