! in his haste to swing in to the curb
to talk hollyhocks.

'after making the scribe turn a back

homely," old-fashioned flower, or ait
these measurements you have been
publishing been intended as so many
jokes? Up on the ranch," he con
tinued, "we have a few hollyhocks
this year that we didn't consider
worth mentioning until we read the
stories in the Herald about Heppner
specimens.
"My boy climbed a big cherry
tree the other day," continued Mr.
Cleveland, "and when well up to the
top of it he climbed out on a holly
hock stem that grew beside the tree
and the stem bent over with him so
he couldn't get back to the tree, and
to save his clothing we had to get
a long ladder to bring him down.
"The hollyhocks up there," he
went on. "remind me of the fir tim
ber where I was raised in western
Oregon. The timber wan so tall and
so close together that we boys used
to take a halt holliday once in a
while and go out back of the house
and chop down a few trees bo we
could see what the sun looked like.
We don't expect to haul any wood
out of the mountains this fall," con
cluded Mr .Cleveland, "we will use
hollyhock stems for fire wood, fence
posts, etc., and if I can find a porta
ble sawmill for sale I may cut some
of the butts into lumber."
By this time the o. m. had recov
ered enough from his narrow escape
to ask: "But how much do thev
measure, Mr. Cleveland how man.
feet high?"
"Oh. I don't know," was the an
swer. "My 50-foot tape measure
wis lost v."i. eu the barn burned and
I have no way to measure titer..."
' M r W ." W. S mead , who" started
this hollyhock trouble, called up tho
Herald office Wednesday morning
and wanted to know if humming
birds are apt to form a habit. "The
reason I ask," she said, "is because
a hummingbird was in the habit of
getting his breakfast from some hol
hylocks that grew by my back porch,
and when I had to have the hollys
cut away bceause they made the
house so dark, that poor little bird
would come every morning and buzz
around the spot until exhausted. I
feel very sorry for the bird but I just
had to cut the hollyhocks down to
save electric light bills.. And an
other thing," she went on, "I don't
think there is any sense in having
hollyhocks more than 10 feet 11
inches tall because when they get
taller than that they are apt to fall
over and die. And besides that, r
don't think it is good form to grow
them too tall since that picture was
published showing President and
Mrs. Coolidge in their hollyhock
garden back in Vermont. Those hol
lyhocks were not as tall as Mrs. Cool
idge and It Is not polite to excel the
first lady of the land in anything
even hollyhocks now is it?"
Hollyhock fans are urged to send
in reports of what they have.
A year's subscription will be given
to the person who can show the tall
est hollyhock before frost comes but
we will have to have the exact meas
urement of each specimen entering
the contest. Mr. Cleveland will
have to get a new tape measure or
a surveyor's chain before he can
qualify.
