that before an attempt is made to es-
innate the funds available well-di-
rected campaign of enlightenment be
carried on throughout the surrounding
country, with the object of making
known the benefits to be derived from
the erection of the building.
Every community will have its own
particular uses for building and
these can be determined only by the
people themselves. A standard COM
muunity building, however, 1t is point
ed out, should have as a minimum
these accommodations
Accommodations of Every Building.
An assembly room, perhaps with
movable seats, that can be used as
meeting place for the people or for
various organizations. With the seats
removed the room will be available as
gymnasium, as game room, as Il
dining room, or for fairs and exhibits.
A stage on which lectures, plays
and various entertainments can be
given and which may have screen
for motion pictures.
A kitchen where food may be pre-
pared.
A place where lunches, suppers and
banquets may be served,a
The more advanced communities
would need, it is thought, other accom-
modations. These should be carefully
estimated In determining the size OF
the structure. 1t Is well to take fu-
ture growth into consideration. De
tails of the various features of plan
ming, constructing, and maintaining
community house are contained in the
bulletin (Farmers' Bulletin 1173,

QUITS PULPIT FOR MOVIES
More Good as Actor Than as
Preacher

TorOntO.-That he will not again
assume charge of Il congregation in
Canada after his resignation has been
accepted by the Bond Street Congrega-
tional church, and that he will enter
the motion-picture business as an actor
if he cannot get a pastorate in the
United States, is the statement made
by Rev. DIR. Millar.
He has had an offer from II motion
picture firm In the United States, but
has not yet accepted il.
Or. Millar stated that he felt his
character portrayals of Shakespeare
were sermons, and that the Bible and
Shakespeare were so inseparably con-
nected as to characters that he could
do more good in portraying life on
the mimic sage or upon the screen.

II is used fresh and clean.
Cleanliness is of the greatest I'M
portance in keeping lice, mites, feas,
and other insects under control. The
poultry houses, roosts, dropping
boards, brood coops, and all other
places that the fowls occupy should be
kept clean. An abundance of light and
fresh air should be provided. While
these things cannot be depended on to
keep away lice and mites, they make
It easier to determine when the pests
are present and help to keep the
fowls healthy, vigorous, and better
able to withstand an attack of lice
and mites. Sick or diseased fowls
are always the first victims of these
parasites, which makes 1t important
that the fowls be kept healthy.
