The Postoffice Departm is plan
ming to put into effect the first "col-
Elect-on-a eliveryo postal pan in its
history. The Postmaster General, il
a letter to the. Comptroller OF the
Treasury, March "a, said the propo-
sition was under consideration

GELS post matter without prepayment.
and in effect corresponds to the tele-
graph privilege of collecting charges
from the addressee.
The Comptroller of the Treasury
in his decision said be doubted the
departments authority Ito put the
plan into operation, but that it might
be possible under the law, if the In
terstate Commerce Commissions con-
sent, which is required, can be OBJ
tanned.
According to the Postmaster Gen
eral's letter the postmaster at the re-
ceiving office would affix and cancel
postage due" stamps to parce.
and on its delivery the postmaster at
the receiving station would refund to
him an equivalent in uncancelled post

II has been known for a long time
/ that the department desired to put

tive basis with the express companies,
and the matter of prepayment of post

Its way.

Soil For The Next Corn Crop.

Seedlings of corn are not nearly SO
easily affected~by acid water. than art
those Of wheat and especially clover
and the legumes 1t is matter of Elk
tensive observation that corn grows
we'll on much land that is imperatively
in need of sweetening for properly
growing wheat and producing any OF
the nitrogen fixing crops From these
circumstances, there is wide belief
among farmers that corn land needs
no lime This belief is confirmed bJ
official bulletins which CLASS Indian
corn among plants but little benefited
by Inning" The observations upon
which their belief is based are perfect
ly correct and can both be seen, at the
proper season, many sections and
confirmed in records of experiments by
several State colleges. And yet, 1T is
a misconception that has caused farm-
ers great loss.
In all cases where corn thrives on q
sour soil, that soil contains an appreci.
able amount of lime, derived either
from limestone by which it is under
lain or from decomposing minerals rich
| in lime, which is thus being added in
sufficient amount to the soil, although
| the amount is insufficient for sweeten-
ing it. An Inexpensive chemical test
will show this and every farmer should
be informed about the available
lime in his soil. This simple fact has
come to light through comparing corn
| growth on sour soils at experiment
stations, where it failed, with those OF
stations whese it succeeded without
lime. The fact is, that corn is very
much in need of lime, both as plant
food and for developing the best pos.
sibilities of all the other plant foods,
potash, pbosphoric acid and nitrogen,
added as mixed fertilizers. But it is
best that corn land do not haye toe
much lime. for it's presence in liberia
amount futhers bacterial activity I'M
duly, and with it, wastful consumpt
ion of humus not necessary for corr
growth.
If then farmer lines his clover, tt

IBut, he can only be safe on this point
by having the corn land tested. The

WON'T COVER FRAUD
FOR AUTO SLAYER
Court Scores Bankruptcy of
Man Whose Speeding Car
Killed Girl.

On the ground'that Edward T. Rosen
heimer was trying TO evade response
bility toward those injured by his auto
mobile in August, 1910, Judge Mayer
yesterday refused to discharge him
from bankruptcy.
Rosenheimer went into bankruptcy
in 1912, two months after the father of
Craze Hough, whom Rosenheimer's car
killed, had obtained q judlu ent against
him for 1882. Two more actions, ag-
gregating $4,000, had been instituted
by survivors of the accident Rosen-
heimer's entire liabilities were only
S4l0 in excess Of these claims
Substantial sums" sal Judge May

grant the discharge asked for would be

one can read this record without being
convinced that there was deliberate
attempt by the bankrupt TO strip him

accident. might be collected"
here was nothing TO show what hap

$500 which had stood in the bank

HERE TO SETTLE
FISHERIES CLAIMS
Newfoundland Premier Hopes
Cases Need Not Go to
Arbitration.

Sir Edward Morris, Premier OF New
foundland. arrived yesterday for con-
ference with officials on disputes arls-
ing out OF the Newfoundland fisheries
award of the Hague Conference OF
1910.
The Premier said fifty fisheries con-
Germs Of Gloucester had filed claims
as a result Of the award. These are
Of three kinds those concerning the
payment by fishermen Of SO year for
lighthouse maintenance, those brought
for seizures by the Newfoundland gov
eminent. and some others, due to the
assertion BY Newfoundland that
Gloucester fishermen were INDUCING
in commerc alzing instead of fishing,
as permitted by the treaty Of 1918.
In all. The claims aggregate about
100000. and it is believed that the
impending conference will so handle
the affair that there will be no need
for arbitration. Sir Edward refused
to say with whom he expected TO con-
fer.
IL believe" he remarked. that. judg-
ing from past experience, my mission
will be successful There never has
been a better feeling toward Ameri-
can fishermen than at present. We
have not had case brought against

il doubtful whether the President Will
take any action on il until the lnvesti-
cations now in progress have been
completed. Even then II is doubtful
whether or not he will act, because IN
similar instances he has consistently
held that the power to declare an en-
barge is lodged with Congress and not
with the President.
Two Investigations are now IN prog,
ress upon which reports are expected
10 reach Washington in the next rev
DAYS. One Of these has been conducted
by the Department Of Agriculture Tor
the use of Congress. There is sus-
picion in the Agricultural Department
that large quantities Of wheat are be-
ing withheld from the market with the
express intention of forcing up the
price.
The other investigation has been con-
Quoted by the Department OF Justice.
which is looking into the alleged illegal
speculation in wheat in Chicago. The
report Of the governments special
agent in Chicago is expected to indl-
cate whether or not a wheat corner
exists and whether it constitutes an
illegal combination formed to monopo-
lie the wheat crop and TO force prices
