Many tons of leaves and weeds are burned or hauled away from
lawns and gardens every fall. Tins is an expensive practice, as
leaves make a valuable fertilizer. They should be used as a winter
mulch for trees and shrubbery, or composted in a corner of the
back yard. "
i- A compost can be made by digging a pit a foot deep, and of
gufficient diameter to hold the leaves and1 then putting a layer of
leaves and a layer of dirt, and so on into this until all the leaves
are used. The dirt removed from this pit will be sufficient. . .
" The dirt should be fairly Well mixed with the leaves. A little
slaked lime scattered through the mass i will hasten decomposition,
and add greatly to the value of the compost as a fertilizer. A com
post heap should be started in the spring and ell weeds and other
organic waste be collected during the entire year to be used as fer
tilizer lor gardens and shrubs the following spring. A pit from four
to six rfeet ia"diameter will be large enough "for the ordinary city
garden. ;

There were riots in Rome 2200 years
ago because of high prices. People
had to pay what is now equivalent
to five cents a pound for beef, and
eggs were also -five cents adozen.

(The above, in the opinion of the writer, is of sufficient import
ance toi justify giving it' the prominence of editorial space. It may
help to save a great waste and to serve a conservation purpose that
is important during these times: and, for that matter, in all times.
TJie old saw says, "Willful waste makes woeful want ;" and the whole
world needs to hark back to this alliterative warning. Ed.)

The result of Tuesday's elections in Kentucky and elsewhere
shows that the American people are tired of the rule of peanut and
polliwog politicians at Washington, and the result in Massachusetts
shows plainly that the great majority of the people have had their
fill of the leaning of the same kind of time servers, towards the antics
.of the reds and radicals who would allow this country to be run
along Bolshevik lines. The great body of the American people are
still true to the principles upon which our liberties are founded ; true
to the higher ideals for which our country! stands in the world; and
determined to have our country steer an honest and straight coursfc
at home and in our dealings with other peoples everywhere. Red and
yellow and black riot is passing.
