NUMBER IS
QUEER FREAK.
Our NeighbOriug Town Shippeusbnrg
May Get Into a Hole.

Biologists are puzzled over a
strange sinking of the earth's
surface III the street at Shlppens
burg. AT the corner of King and
Queen streets a place about six
feet in diameter has dropped out
OF the middle Of the street.
The depression in that section
Of the street has occurred several
times within the past few years.
An explanation IN Shippensburg
has it that the town Is built over
a subterranean stream, and that
the sinking is due to a wearing
away of the underground soil by
the waters of this stream.

How 10 Order And Plant Trees.

A Pennsylvania lady who IN.
CURED of Prof. Ii. A. Surface,
State loologlst, concerning the
purchase and planting of fruit
trees received the following time
ly and concise infor nation:
"Replying to your recent letter
concerning buying and planting
frult trees: | beg to say | am
well satisfied that it would be bet
ter to get them directly from a
reliable nursery. am sending
you list of Pennsylvania nurser
ymen, and you can no doubt ob
tain just what you want. Do not
buy from some irresponsible trav
cling salesman. Order one year
old or two-year-old trees. Do
not buy anything older. Prune
them or cut off low at the time
they are planted. Prune your
ounce to only one foot, while
your peach trees may be one and
one half feet, and apple not more
thar two feet. Keep the heads
down, and make low spreading
heads or tops.
Just as soon as the trees arrive
heel them into the ground, so
that the roots will keep moist all
the time. In transplantlng them,
plant in damp earth which is
moist but not wet by tramping it
over the roots. Set them two or
three inches deeper than they
grow in the nursery. Order
them soon and plant them just as
soon as the ground Is dry enough
to prepare properly In the spring.
With your cherry trees it Is
especially important that they be
planted early, and, IN fact, all
trees will be more sure to grow
and will make better growth dur
Ing the season If planted just as
you get the ground IN proper
shape during the spring time.
For best results in planting the
ground should be about as dry as
that which you would consider
best for planting corn or potatoes
Prune off the extra long or
broken roots and branches;
spread the roots in different di
'ectlons on good fertile soil put
n the place where the trees will
stand, and tramp two or three
nches of loose fertile soil over
hese roots TO compact them
lrmly. Then hll to almost the
evel Of the surface of the ground,
nd do not tramp or pack after
vard.

Y, on July 10, to lay before the imperial court which meets at that place, a petition signed by more than 200 members of that organization.
 The project was discussed at a recent meeting of the Shrners in this city, at which time it was proposed to call the temple in Montgomery the Meshad tenn pie and Dave w. Crossland, a prominent member of the order in this city, was elected potentate.
 It has been pointed out that there are nearly 100 Shriners in this city, and that all the members of that order living in middle Alabama cannot reach a temple closer than Mobile or Birmingham. The district for which a temple is sought in Montgomery would include Dothan, An dalusia, Union Springs, Clanton, Tuske- gee, Opelka, Eufaula, Brewton and Selma.
 The delegation bearing the petition to the imperial council in Rochester will leave Montgomery in a special car, and it is anticipated that the council will grant the request of the Shriners In this section of Alabama.
