TAFT FAVORS LAWS
 ID AID FARMERS Sets Forth Ideas in Letter to
 Governors HIGH COST OF LIVING Would Reduce Cost of Foodstuffs by Reducing Cost to the Farmer of Producing His Crops-Would
 Extend Credit
HIGH COST OF LIVING

Beverly, Mass, October 11.-Radical leg islation in favor of the American farmer and consumer as a means of solving the question of the high cost of living was urged by President Taft today in a let ter to the governors of all the states.
 President Taft proposes to reduce the cost of foodstuffs on the American din- ner table by reducing the cost to the farmer of producing his crops. This would be done by establishing in the interest of the farmer a financial machine which would give him access to all the money eenters of the world and afford him credit at greatly reduced rates and upon more advantageous terms than he now re- ceives The complete development of our agricultural resources which this would make possible, thinks President Taft. would go a long way toward settling the problem of the high cost of living.
 What this plan offers,' writes Presi- dent Taft lis a means to secure this country greater productivity. at less cost, from the farms that are now under cul- tivation, and above all, to give us more farms and more farmers"

Their Ideas.

Queen Mary on her husbands ac-
cession to the throne caused 1t to bo
known that she intended to revive
the rules and regulations Of Queen
Victoria. She even went step fur
ther, says the Metropolitan. and In
timated that the men concerned in
divorce cases. as respondents or as
correspondents. would be regarded
with disfavor in the highest quarters.
Queen Victoria never visited her
displeasures on the men implicated in
divorce cases. save in the solitary In
stance Of Sir Charles Dixie. Indeed
several of her most famous and mos.
trusted ministers. such as, for in.
stance, Lord Melbourne, Lord Palmer
ston and the now octogenarian Lord
Llandaff, were mixed UP in all sorts
Of divorce cases, without ever forfeit
ing either their Office or her good
will.
Both King George and Queen
Mary, however, found that 1t was
quite impossible to put their avowed
Intentions into practice. They could
not exclude divorced women from
their court unless they barred there
from the kings own FIRST cousins.

Princess Louise Of Schleswig-H Hol-
stein, as we'll as host of other royal
and imperial foreign personages

In Russia divorce was condemned
formerly both by the court and by So
ciety. Moreover 1t was extremely
difficult to accomplish, being granted
only on the grounds which would
suffice to secure a decree of nullity
from English and American tribunals
or else Tor infidelity. But In the lat
ter case the legal conditions were ex.

Now. however. the situation has

"Hex" Has Caused Various Kinds Of

At Tumbling Run valley, near Potts

for a witchcat with q gun loaded
with solid gold bullet, and has also
put "witchcat-eating cat" on the

witchcat appeared at the home OF
Howell Thomas some weeks ago. 1t
was always seen at four o'clock In
the morning prowling around tho
barnyard, and 1t is said to have
grown until 1t was four feet long.

"witch-sender."
The Thomases had been shooting
at the 'hex" and though their aim
ordinarily was good, they seemingly
could not hit the strange cat. After
her fathers death, Miss Thomas held
a conference with an unknown witch
doctor and announced that it had
been revealed that the reason the
bullets had not been effective was be-
cause they were lead. She followed
directions and nodded a solid gold
bullet out of a flve-dollar gold piece.
But when the magic bullet was IN
the gun ready for use. the cat failed
: to reappeur. Miss Thomas and the
neighbors have lain in wait for the
"hex." but all in vain. Some declare
its absence due to the fact that too
many people have been wearing
cruciiixes and talismans to protect
themselves. The affair became so
mysterious that the Pottsville Repub.

case. however. is the most interest.
Ing Of all. A black cat owned by q
Schuylkill Haven man has been found
by the hex" doctors to be 'hexa
hemeron cat" This cat is said to
have been born on the 9Th day OF
the sixth month in 1906, and to have
been one OF litter Of six kittens
1t was blind only six days after be
ing born. whereas all ordinary cats
are blind nine days. The word
hexahemeron Is taken from two
Greek words, "hex" and 'hemera.'
and means a completion in SIX parts
1t is usually used in referring to the
six days labor Of Creation, as de
scribed in the first chapter of Genesis
While there are only Ave books IL

1t was declared that the "hex cat
