On Tuesday, which is the Dixie's
regular feature day, will be seen the
great sensational drama, "A Nations
Peril"
The intrigues OF diplomatic service
contain the nucleus of many a good
story, and "A Nations Peril is one
of them. AS the title would indicate,
the picture illustrates, to the average
citizen, how at all times there are
representatives of foreign powers spy
ing upon the defenses of other coun-
tries, including our own. 1t points out

CITY COUNCIL MEETING

The regular meeting of the city
council last night was attended by
every councilman, except Alderman
Walker, who is out of the city, and
presided over by Mayor Maloney.
The routine work was disposed of
and committee reports received. The
street committee was instructed to
notify property owners on Rat Row"
to provide concrete sidewalks to re-
place the old board walks.
The sanitary committee was in
structed to investigate the scavenger
situation and remedy same.
NJ. e. Wallace made application for
an extension of the sewer in an alley
near the courthouse and proposed to
pay the expense.
Mr. Ed Covey, for the property
owners in the Allen Academy district,
requested the extension of the sewer
line in that section of the city, the
property owners furnishing the funds
in the way of advanced rentals.
The Mechanics Building and Loan
Association made application for the
extension of the water mains and
light and sewer systems to the Buch-
anan addition, where the new houses
are to be built, the loan association
to furnish the funds to do the extern
sion construction and receive it's re-
fund from the revenues of the extern
sion.
These applications brought up
lengthy discussion as to whether the
city should do the work or not. Some
of the aldermen pointed out the fact
that this was only plan to help the
city to help itself. Others said; well,
We dSlccu ldoI hohudy HiSut uOI W

other but this points out way

PRINCIPAL FEATURES TO BE CONSIDERED
IN ARRANGEMENT OF POULTRY PLANT
Many Chicken Troubles Can Be Traced to Selection Of Un-
suitable Site-POulrman Should Study Demands, Prox-
unity to Markets and Other Points.

/, The width OF the house depends en-
tirely upon it's use, Breeding houses
are usually narrow because limited
number of birds are kept in one pen.
Laying houses are generally IA feet
to 20 feet wide The wider the house
the more economically it can be built
per square foot of floor space.
The height OF house depends upon
its kind sufficient room for working
comfortably is all that is necessary.
Geuerally speaking, continuous houses
have their high side to the south, espe-
cially those which admit all light from
that direction. in when case not less
than six feet is needed In front with
at least four feet in the back. In or
der to permit the light TO extend to
TIE hack of the house, 16 foot width
should have : foot front, is foot
width. ~ foot front. etc. The height
of front would also depend upon the
style of roof used. but from the stand
point of lighting from the south side
these rules should be observed in or
der TO properly light the building.
The most suitable style OF roof de-
ponds entirely upon the type of house,
The commonest form used is the shed
roof. sloping one way, best adapted to
the narrow house facing the south. A
roof of this kind with the high side
to the south sends all the water to the
rear, is simple TO construct and will
not absorb as much heat as the COM
bination or gable roof, upon a portion
of which the suns rays strike more di.
rectly. The shed roof should not be
used on houses over II feet wide. as
the length of span will permit sagging,
and in order to secure a sufficient
pitch to the roof, the front would need
to be excessively high, thus causing
greater cost of construction.
Another type of roof frequently used
