amined Sunday by a commission.
Violent.
Superintendent Blitch said Mc

the prison farm that he was forc
ed to keep him in solitary confine
ment.
“Even then,” the superintendent
said, “his condition did not change
and I appealed to the authorities
in Tallahassee to conduct an exam
ination.
Authority for the examination
was granted and the three physi
cians met at the state prison farm
last Sunday.

AID TO FARMER
Washington, Nov. 29.—Plans for
the aid of the farmer at the short
session of congress are understood
to include a fourfold proposition
—co-operative marketing, prefer
red railroad rates for farm prod
ucts, development of the European
market and easier credit for the
cattle-raiser.
The agricultural commission is
expected by members of congress
studying the question to submit a
preliminary report within the next
month recommending these fea
tures as the basis for legislation.
Those most directly connected
with farm aid measures declare
themselves optimistic over the at
titude the president will take to
ward the report.
Capper Shows Confidence.
Senator Capper, Kansas, spokes
man for the western farm bloc,
who recently discussed the agri
cultural situation with President
Coolidge, said that, in his opinion,
the commission’s report would of
fer a solution of the farmer’s
problems.
The domestic marketing situa
tion, he said, can be solved by
properly operated co-operative
marketing agencies with federal
support, and the European mar
ket can be stimulated through the
services of the diplomats and at
taches of the commerce depart
ment.
’ Before the American farmer
can
receive permanent relief, the Kan
sas senator said, some means must
be provided to overcome South
American competition in the live
stock trade and Canadian competi
tion in the wheat trade, He be
lieved this could be done by co
operation between the American
foreign agent and the
of agriculture.
Norris Waits on Commission.
Senator Capper declared gov

HER EXCELLENCY
RIGHT TITLE FOR
Austin, Tex., Nov. 29.—It will
be Mrs. Miriam A. Ferguson—
“Her Excellency"
Ever since Texas, the- cradle of
democracy, chose Mrs. Ferguson
to be its next governor, * curious
nation has mildly concerned itself
with what the woman governor's
official title would be.
It wouldn’t have been proper,
Mrs. Ferguson argued, t» be re
ferred to as “governess’* because
that term referred to something
altogether different. And no one
ever called her predecessors “Mis
ter Governor,” did they, she asked.
The problem was solved Monday
when elaborate steel-engraved in
vitations and dance programs were
completed for “Ma’a” inaugural
ball on January 20. They referred
to her as “Her Excellency.”
Following a long-established cus-
tom, the ball will be held in the
Hall of Representatives and the
reception in the Senate chamber.
Overflow crowds and dancers will
be taken care of in the ballrooms
of the two leading hotels here,
according to tentative plans for
the monster celebration' at the
seating of the state’s first woman
governor.

Chairman Norris, of the senate
agricultural committee, said, how
ever, that he intended to make
no move to report farm legisla
tion until he learned the attitude
of the administration toward the
report of the agricultural com
mission.
He asserted that every bill his
committee had reported had been
opposed by the adiministration,
and that he felt support from that
