Rural communities are discovering
that the gct-to-gether spirit is a bus
mess asset as well as a requisite Of
social life. The old adage to the
fleet that business and pleasure can
/ not be combined is being disprovcd
in many neighborhoods where the
people are learning to cooperate for
both pleasure and profit.
In connection with its nation wide
study Of the community-house move
ment, which has taken form in hui
| dreds of neighbolhoods in recent
years, and which the world war did
much to promote, the Office of Farm
Management Of the United States
Department of Agriculture has
found several instances where the
social features of community under
takings have been combined with
business projects to the mutual ad
vantage of all. In fact, the profits
which have been derived from the
business features have often made it
possible to offer more complete and
attractive social facilities. There is
something in these relatively new
American undertaking. suggestive of
Old World fairs, which are at once
the big business events and social oc-
casions of the cities and towns in
which they are held.
Many Activities in One Building
An example of a combination of
business and pleasure in an American
community, of more than local inter
est because the average country
neighborhood can undertake similar
projects to its advantage, is the
Stock Show Association at Stuart,
Iowa, which has erected structur>
to house a variety of community ac-
tivities. The building makes no pre-
tense at architectural beauty, but
we'll serves considerations of comfort
and convenience. 1t is the center of
much social activity and also is used
for sales of various sorts, while the
plans make special provision for its
use for the annual Fall Festival and
Stock Show. In the few years since
it was built the participants in the
sales and stock shows have found
that neighborliness can be made fl
nancially profitable without detract-
ing from the neighborliness which
may such projects are primarily de-
siged to promote.
The Stuart community building
cost $4,000 and measures 100 by 100
feet The wide roof, with caves,
coming to within one story of the
ground, is broken by clerestory,
which creates a high-celinged central
area in the structure well adapted to
large gatherings, basketball games,
and exhibits of agricultural and
domestic-science Products. Surround
ing the central area are booths and
stalls for exhibiting stock, The floor
in the center is raised somewhat
above the surrounding level and is
much used for dancing and skating.

ton of buildings entirely of stone
where possible make the founda
brick, or concrete, including stone
columns or pillars in the basement to
support the floor above; make walls
and flooring in basement or cellar Of
concrete, and lay concrete floors on
gravel base.
Where stone or concrete founda
lions are impracticable, use timber
impregnated with coal-tar creosote.
Lay basement window stills and
frames over concrete and do not al
low woodwork to come in contact
with the ground Never sink untreat-
ed timber in ground or moist con-
crete; let no wood be in contact with
the ground.
Complete dryness of the founda-
ton and basement walls and flooring
is al important means Of rendering
buildings safe from attack; therefore
provide for air spaces between the
ground and wooden flooring and lay
concrete floors on a gravel base.
Promptly examine the foundation
timbers and other woodwork in the
basement to determine the approx
mate point of entrance and the eX-
tent of damage already accomplish
ed. After removing the damaged
wood drench the ground with kero-
sene oil.
Then replace damaged timber with
rock, brick, concrete, or metal work;
or substitute, for the foundation,
timbers impregnated with coal-tar
creosote.
Since termites always require ac
cess to damp earth, shut off this
source of moisture, and the insects
will not be able to extend their gal
lelies farther and will perish.

Sales and Stock Shows Featured in Neighborhood Stuc
ture Which Is Also q Great Social Gathering Place
Town and Country Residents Share in
Financing Project in Stuart Iowa.


The improvements are modern in
every respect and include furnace
heat, electric light, and city water.
Stock Show and Fall Festival
The primary purpose of the build
ing was to house the annual Fall
Festival and Stock Show. Scarcely
had the building been completed
when the war came on, disarranging
plans and making it nessary to sus-
pend the exposition. Now that the
war is over, preparations are being
made to inaugurate these events,
which, it is anticipated, will be one
of the big social events of the year
and at the same time be a real pro-
moter of business for the farmers.
Just as the large stock shows of
the country furnish an index to
current market conditions and serve
as a meeting place for men who are
studying the trend of the live stock
industry, so, it is anticipated, this
show will provide a local meeting
place for the men who want to sell
and those who want to buy. At in
teravls throughout the remainder Of
the year less pretcntious sales are
held in the building, the convenient
facilities of which make it much in
demand.
Besides being much used for social
events, this structure re-echoes fire.
quently throughout the winter with
shouts of rival basket ball teams and
their enthusiastic supporters. The
smooth floor of the central area and
the high ceiling afford splendid facili-
ties for such athletic contests. Farm
ers' short courses are also conducted
in this building, and various COM
munity gatherings are held.
Town and Country Cooperate Here
The building was constructed
through the combined effort of a
large number of citizens-represent-
ing both the town and the country
districts-each of whom subscribed
for small amount of stock. AS in
many other new undertakings Of
public character pioneering has been
necessary in matters of practical adj
mnistration and finance. For ex
ample, the question as to whether
ownership should be vested in a
large group of shareholders or a
small group is one to which consid-
cradle attention has been given. Re-
CARELESS of such details, the Stock
Show Building, which is the official
name of this community center, has
proved a factor in promoting the
business interests of the community,
as well as the social life. With wise
management and friendly coopera
ton those most interested in it be-
lieve that this community investment
can be made to render still larger
neighborhood service. 1t is hoped
that in time a more modern structure
can be erected on more centrally
located site.
