This point can be determined b. the
earth marks on the collar of the tree.
Use surface soil for filing in. Pack
the earth carefully around the roots
with the hands and fingers. Never
use stable manure in the holes when
planting trees. One pound OF good
commercial fertilizer per tree. thor
oughly mixed with the soil used in
filling in Is good. II water is need

POLICE JOTTINCS,
Officers Hit Upon a New Pur.
veyor for Liquor.
Carried in a Bicycle Tire by
August Palm.

Since the closing Of even the good
ly clubs about the. town there are
many more well defined thirsts at
large than ever before and every de-
wise for bootlegging is being given its
initial tryout. The man with the mere
grip is out of date completely and
stands no show to escape the officers.
Various systems have been tried
and many consignments of vinegar at
50 a quart have been shipped into the
towns.
But August Palm has hit plan
which so far distances any other yet
conceived that the thirst club ought
to order him a medal 1t may be it
was only a plan to minister to his in
dividual wants. August is supposed
to be a contractor or something. He
has been locked in the police station
times innumerable and he is crafty
with the "let me off this time, judge,
and I'll never darken the cop sanctum
door again" line of talk. Often he
has been let go, but the police no
longer take his talk, instead they con-
slider him mean man and whenever
d cop sees August, and August sees
the cop, August tries to quietly and
unostentatiously fade away. August
was seen yesterday and not fading
fast enough was picked up by Pa
trolman F'ribance just because the Of
ficers get so tired of seeing him about
the streets.
But WUeH ITSL seen ny the
August was carrying a bicycle tire. He
saw that F'ribance saw him, but ap-
preached deliberately, only as he pass
ed an alley he also passed the old tire
behind telegraph pole at the side of
the byway At the station the officer,
when turning him over, thought of
the strangeness of August with BIZ
cycle tire-all Germany has not such
a curiosity. There might be something
to that tire he finally decided to him
self and fastened back to where he
had found his captured eyesore.
Augustus patrons had not followed,
for there lay the tire, a Diamond sin
gle tube half worn out and plugged
in several places-very much like q
tire to be repaired-but August could
never ride a wheel. The cop grabbed
the tire, but it felt heavy so he was
more careful. He squeezed it and
something soused around inside. His
eyes bulged out a half inch and he
