Much of the late declared by experts earth should we run the leaves out of the . At this time of‘ year complaints are common concerning the practice of burning leaves. In addition to being an offensive and dangerous habit there are strong economic reasons why leaves should not be burned, but should be al- lowed to fill the art nature intended them to fill. Much of the late autumn work in the garden has been declared by experts to be purely mischievous. Why on “Non~tax-paying outsider” is the term used by the Herald to describe the farmers and market gardeners of this district who patronize the market, and laments that merchants under heavy expense of taxes, rent, help etc., would have to compete with the market. As we pointed out above, the farmer is not immune from taxation. Unless he chooses to do all his own work he must hire help and if he does not own his property he must even pay rent like our city‘ cousins. The good citizens of North Toronto and of this district who have patronized the market have demon- strated by their increased patronage that they appreciate the opportunity of buying produce direct from the produc- er and that they are even willing to pay the same price for it as if they bought it at the corner grocery or fruit store. The Herald invites housewives who have had experience in shopping at the new market to write a letter on the sub- ject and gives the assurance the name of the writer need not be published. It will‘be interesting to note how many if any, who offer criticism of the market will avail them- selves of the privilege of hiding behind a nom-de-plume rather than have it appear over their own name. ‘There is no doubt in our mind that‘real farmer’s mar- kets properly conducted are a good thing for the residents of any community,‘but on the other hand if they serve no good purpose other than to assure non-tax-paying farmers’ retail prices for their goods at the expense of the local merchants they should not be regarded as other than a menace to the business life of the community. We have heard persistent rumors that citizens who patronized the new market find that they could get just as good value at the corner store as they gotthere.” Thus does the Hudson Herald, North Toronto’s community newspaper comment on the North York Market situated at the city limits which has been acclaimed as an unqualified success by both pro- ducers and. consumers. Where our worthy contemporary gets the idea of non-taxâ€"paying farmers we are at a loss to understand. The millenium has not yet arrived and even the farmers of this district must face the inevitable'étaxes and death. Those who have worked hard for the estab- lishment of this market will be glad to hear the official an- nouncement of the Hudson Herald that the farmers and market gardeners who go to market are getting retail prices for their goods. Any gardeners who have thus far been dubious will no doubt now plan to attend, and the hum- her of producers sellinglgoods promises to grow from week to week. Let us all do our bit this week to at least cut down our fire risk as far as humanly possible. But let us go a bit further and make not only this week “Fire Prevention Week” but by thoughtfulness and care, make every week “Fire Prevention Week.” Fire is an enemy to be dreaded and the fire losses throâ€" ughout Canada annually are appalling and the sad part of the matter is that 90 per cent of our fire losses is due to carlessness. Coming as it does just about the time we should startr our furnaces on their winter work, it suggests to each and all of us do our part, by seeing that our stoves, furnaces and pipes are in order, thoroughly cleaned, or chimneys cleaned. The basement cleared up and free from inflamable material particularly around the furnace. Also that our barns, yards and gardens are in a clean and tidy condition so that the fire hazard may be reduced to a minimum. This week has been set aside as fire prevention week by the Fire Commissioner at Ottawa and citizens of the Dominion are urged to co-operate in‘ the effort to reduce the great annual loss from fires. A feature» of all meetings has been the keen interest taken by all members in every detail of business that would work out to the advantage of the rateâ€"payers. But no matter how near perfection the council may be there are times when adverse criticism is offered. And we suppose it will be so until the end of time. It is of course, the priv- ilege of arate-payer in a free country to criticisethe action of the Reeve and Councillors but we feel sure.that did a great many of these same critics sit in at the council meetâ€" ings regularly their criticisms would be more often inter- mixed with words of co endation for the business acunien brought to bear on everlilyiuestion introduced for considera- tion. Before criticising too harshly think the matter over carefully, endeavor to.‘ place yourself in the position of your elected representative and for a few meetings in the year at least sit in and watch the municipal fathers at work. For some time past we have had the privilege of at- ending the meetings of the town council and the neighboring township councils and we feel that if more citizens would avail themselves of this opportunity which is theirs there would be less harping and criticism of the actions of our elâ€" ected representatives whether it be in the matter of sins of ommission or commission. It is quite apparent that the Reeve and Councillors give a great deal of their time to the work of the municipality which they serve, and are conscien- tious in carrying out their duties as elected representatives of the people. , " J.

Nature works all summer wearing at millions of looms to shade us and the earth and When the work is done she shakes off the leaves to keep the earth warm during the zero weather. It is a Wonderful gift. Leaves not needed on the lawn should be gathered for the compost pile; others to be used as bedding in the stables; and others still to bank the buildings and cover the floors of the chicken room. In all sorts of ways autumn leaves are moneyâ€"savers and money-makers, and yet over half of; these brown beauties are burnedâ€"that is, of\those that fall near our villages. “If I had no other use for them,” said a prominent writer, “I would pull off my shoes, just as I did when a boy, and kick through the piles along the hedgesand in the swale. Then I would throw myself down on them and smell the delicious odor of beech and maple and basswood. I would let a little of the poetry that is floating loose through the world get into my soul, and I would keep up my boy life.” -T.
