SATURDAY NIGHT.
WITH 0. 8 R. 6. 30 YEARS

Owen McGivenay, aged about seven
ty years and for long period employ
ed as trackwalker by the Denver G
Rio Grande Railroad company, was
found dead in a cabin about half a
mile west of Wellsville. by section
men Sunday evening. Coroner Adkin-
son of Florence and A. E. Wilson of
this city were informed of the dis
covery and on Monday went to the
place where the body lay and brought
it here to be prepared for burial.
But little is known of Mr.. McGive-
nay, except that he had worked for
the railroad company for thirty years
or more; being engaged to walk the
tracks and report any rocks and boul-
ders that might roll down upon them
from the cliffs of the canon of the Ar
kansas river. For long time he was
stationed at Echo, but recently he
has been located farther west. He
performed his duties as trackwalker
last Saturday night and went to his
cabin Sunday morning for rest and
that was the last time he was seen
alive.
: The coroner decided that formal
inquest was not necessary. as there
was nothing to indicate that death
resulted from other than natural
causes. A post-mortem,. however. will
probably be held. 1t is not known
when interment will take place.

FALL LEAVES SHOULD
Be PUT TO BETTER USE
THAN TO Be BURNED

In most towns and cities. autumn
brings with it the pungent odor of
burning leaves. the smoke of which
settles like choking pail over the
streets and homes. The door yard
cleaning days Of spring are likewise
marked with the incense of smoking
vegetable matter that is being cremat-
ed along the streets and alleys. In
stead of smudging themselves and
their neighbors. the Inhabitants of
our towns who own shade trees can
often make far better use OF the fallen
leaves by composing them The high
degree of fertility usually noticed In
newly cleared lands which have been
covered with forests OF broad Leaf
trees, is mainly due to the abundance
of leaf mold which the soils contain.
This material is especially valuable
for its effects in increasing the mois-
ture holding ability of light soils and
of improving the texture of clay soils.
Florists use leaf mold. where obtain
able. for mixing with their pottins
soils, and it is of equal value in the
flower bed, the vegetable garden, and
the field.
In our semi-arid regions, leaf mold
does not readily form without little
care being given to the matter. The
leaves may be stored in a large bin
in some shady or secluded corner of
the yard, or even in pit dug in the
earth. They should be packed in
tightly and kept moist by an occa-
sional wetting with the hose, or IL in
pit, from the irrigating ditch, or
they may be spaded or plowed directly
into the garden.
Leaves also form q fair substitute
for straw in bedding the horse and
will add to the value of the manure for
fertilizing purposes.
In case none of these uses can pe
made of the fallen leaves of trees,
some local market gardner or farmer
who knows their value may be given
the privilege of hauling them away
TO use on his fields or in the compost
heap. ia, -, e.ts ~
The older nations of the world have
learned to utilize every bit of waste
vegetable matter in some such way
and, although intensive agriculture is
perhaps not yet SO, imperative in this
country, this utilization Of dead leaves
is in line with. the growing sentiment
for the conservation Of soil fertility.
