Queen of Gypsies
"Theresa" In City

Queen Theresa" the best known
and reputcd to be the richest gypsy
queen in the United States, was in
the city this morning with her band
of followers and for several hours
the local depot was ringing with their
songs. Two of the younger gypsies
were exceedingly pretty and were
telling fortunes of many men around
the station.
The gypsy outfit had large
amount of luggage and one portman-
teau was labeled Queen Theresa,
in peculiar handwriting. One of
the little boys, perhaps years old,
was dressed in golden plush, covered
with fancy braid and wore a Turkish
fez. Another youngster had patent
leather boots and was riding a fine

could talk fairly good English stated

Philadelphia. Pa, Dec. 13.-The
city authorities of Philadelphia are
wondering what they will do with
the monster petition that the school
children of San Francisco have start
ed in this direction asking that the
Liberty bell be sent to the Golden
Gate city for the Panama-Pacific eN-
position of 1915. Signatures to the
petition were obtained by the school
children. and, when pasted together,
the strip was two miles long. 1t was
wound on huge reel made of Cali
lornia oak, and, after n parade
through the streets Of San Francisco,
was started on its transcontinental
journey
The Philadelphia authorities had
decided some time ago that the Lib
erty bell was too precious to be
trusted to the dangers of shipment
and should never leave Independence
hall again.

CULT LTURE SYSTEM ENABLES
TREES TO COMBAT DISEASE

Sentinel Special Service.
Cottage Grove, Ore, Dec. 13.--
That under present methods of plant
ing and cultivation fruit trees are
weakened to such an extent that they
are not themselves able to assist in
warding off disease is the theory OF
John Oyerholser, the correctness of
which he intends to try out during
the next couple of years.
He says that on transplanted trees
the tap root is usually destroyed, and
when once cut off does not grow
again. The trees are then of neces-
city surface feeders, and when cul-
tivatcd the roots are continually torn
up, thus interfering with the health
and strength of the trees.
Overholser believes that grating
to seedlings, thus getting a tree with
a tap root. and then doing away with
cultivation, will give a natural tree
and one with health and strength to
ward off disease. He has come to
this conclusion from his own expert
ence. He has such a tree as he de-
scribes. FROM n 3-year-old graft he
this year picked a half bushel Of ap-
nlcs that had not single blemish.
The tree has never been cultivated
or sprayed, has never been diseased.
and yet IL is just across the road
from trees that have been condemned
and cut down.
Overbolser believes that. when in
2 healthy state. the tree exudes some
Kind CT secretion that combats dis

Potato Culture

The ideal farming standard for po-
tatoes should be such as will produce
not less than 300 or $50 bushels per
acre and preferably more. This re-
quires soil that is first of all fertile,
and secondly in a good condition for
the roots to gather plant food from.
In addition, the plants must not be
overrun with weeds and the bugs
must not be allowed to get away with
the crop. The fertilizing can be ac-
complished by rotation of crops and
manuring. A rotation which supplies
a clover sod or sod of clover and
timothy, one or two years old, is
generally best for the potato crop !;
the only exception being that found
in some cases here some other crop is
grown on the sod to be followed by
potatoes. The manure can be applied
to the sod at any time during the
year preceding the potato or other
crop that may be practicable. Liberal
application should be made, usually
ten or more good sized loads per acre.
If this cannot be done for the entire
potato field it should be done on
enough land to supply from two to
