nee buildings at Peoria and East

tons had become so Aggravated as
to be Offensive to the general nub-

Representative Wheeler. Snrinr-
field; Fuller of the Rockford dis
trlct; and Funk of Bloomington,
have indicated that they will cite
the present congestion in federal
buildings as additional argument
for the immediate erection of the
new postofhces proposed for

ings in these cities will be pressed
for consideration during the pres
emit session.
Complieate Problems.
Unless additional space is pro
yided, present postofflce facilities
in Illinois, will prove inadequate
for the storing of court records and
postoffice supplies, according TO
down-state postmasters joining in
the complaint filed here. They state
that the storing of evidence in fed
eral buildings increases the danger
of incendariarism and burglary,
and if continued will necessitate
the appointment OF additional
night-watchmen in most of the
cities of the state.
Washington officials have inti-
mated that to meet the situation,

fine the storage of evidence to

Sweet Clover Best Crop
For Improving Soil

Sweet clover is the best crop there
il for improving worn soil and pro-
vided lime is present will grow on
the poorest land, according to Prof.
George Roberts, head Of the Soils
and Crops Department of the Col
iege of Agriculture. When lime is
provided the crop will grow luxur-
iously in gullies and will even do well
on very wet land.
On wet land near Berea a piece
of ground that was lined and treat
ed with acid phosphate made an
enormous crop of sweet clover and
produced a good crop of corn the
following year. After 275 pounds
of seed had been harvested from each
acre the straw was plowed under.
The next year this same piece of
ground produced 40 bushels of corn
per acre as compared with 20 bush
els on similar soil that had not been

treated. HE
In western Shelby county Is tons
of alfalfa hay from nine cuttings in
three years were obtained on ground
where a crop of sweet clover had
been turned under,
Experiments conducted by the
Kentucky Agricultural Experiment
Station show that sweet clover may
be grown fairly well with as little
as 500 pounds Of ground limestone,
or $50 pounds of burned lime per
acre although the growth is not as
large as with heavier applications
nor the effects as lasting. However,
it will pay to grow the crop with
these small amounts where lime is
difficult to obtain.

Body of Silyino Buffanio was Treated
with Respect
With reference to the report from
Newark, N. j., that the body of Pri-
vate Silvino Buffanio. recently brought
from France, was left unceremonious-
ly on the doorstep of his fathers
home. the Office of the quartermaster
general which has charge of the re-
turn of the soldier dead, gave out this
statement today:
"This body was escorted to the
home of the father by corporal and
seven men. The father. mother, sis
ter and person who appeared TO be
an undertaken were present.
"It was not possible to take the re-
mains upstairs to the apartment of
the father on the second floor as the
stairs were narrow and winding. At
the request of the undertaken who
was apparently acting under instruc-
tons from the father. the casket was
taken out of the shipping case, the
shipping case left on the front porch
and the casket taken into the front
hall.

soldiers handled the matter. He does
not know the source of the report.

termaster general of the army, added

SIN view of the great care and rev.
erence with which the bodies of our
soldier dead are treated by the ceme-
teria1 division personnel, it is most
regrettable that such an unjust
statement should have been made.
Relatives of the dead from overseas
have written innumerable letters of
thanks for the loving care which our
soldiers give their fallen comrades as
they return home. The public should
know that everything is done to make
the last journey what the families
would wish it TO be-"

MIAMPs CITY MANAGER

Miami. one of the most enterprising
cities in the country, has a commits
sion form of government. It's govern
ing body is five business men, and
they have elected city manager to
work under them. The man they have
elected has a high reputation not
simply for running of lines, inspecting
and directing public work. but for ex-
ecutive ability. He won a high repu-
tation in France, where he had under
him almost as many men as there are
people in Miami. He won his reputa-
ton there because of the authority
given him by his commanding gener-
al he could say to man "go and do so
or sc" and the man obeyed orders or
went to the guardhouse. He can't have
such authority in civil life. but If he
has only strictly legal authority, if
he is backed up unfalteringly by the
commission, and lives up to his .repu-
tations he can do great things for Mi
ami.
The main thing is for the commits

we were planning.
Labor difficulties, shortage of coal,

by the hindrances placed in our way
in many foreign countries"
DIR. Duisberg characterized a re-
|repotred demand in some American
quarters for the closing of German
dyeworks because ''they might be used
for the manufacture of explosives and
poison gas in another war;" was "ut-
terly senseless, since Germany has
been deprived of the means of en-
ploying poison gases for war purposes,
even if she wanted to-" He added that
