The customary practice of burning n ?rentes a vicious smoke nuisance !( vhich is objected to by even the most j] 'air-minded citizen. Often the leaves ire raked into the street gutters to j >e burned. While this is a reason-;! ible place from the standpoint of I ire hazard, it may be quite destruc- ; ive to the pavement. Epsccially is i his true if the street is paved with rushed stone bound together with a i ar or asphaltic material. The dam ige is evidenced in later months by i crumbling or disintegration of the i treet surface. s A useful method of disposal which 1 s meeting with almost universal ap iroval is to compost the leaves. This ' 5 easily done by piling alternate 1 avers of leaves and dirt on the ground or in a rough wooden box of > itable size. r I ? - c ? Pleasant Grove News Rev. J. E. Sentell, of Mt.
