Hoover planted them quite thick in
a row about sixty feet long and a
couple of feet wide. Hundreds of
families around the town and coun-
try took parcels of the same kind of
seeds out to plant, and some of them
accused the editor of supplying them
with seed that were no good. You
can look the country over from Shell
ley to Aberdeen and hardly ever see
hollyhock, tho millions of seeds
have been taken out from the Re-
publican Office to be planted. No
charge, thank you.

Will motorcars in the future per-
fume our streets with the scent of at
tar of roses instead of the evil-smell-
ing mixture which offends our nostrils
as they pass?
The question is suggested by the
statement that quarter of million
gallons of motor spirit can be produced
in the Hyderabad state of India by
distilling the flowers of the mOwra
tree.
Mowra flowers are very rich in su.
gar, and ton Of We dried flowers
produces as much as 80 gallons of 95
pa cent pure spirit. They have long
been in use for the preparation of a
native alcoholic liquor; but only a
small proportion of the trees available
is needed for this purpose.
