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 ernmental influence for lower in terest rates would offer tempo rary aid.

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.

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 quarter necessary before attempt ing to map out a program. i Pike County News | ; j V I (Pike County Journal.
