eral principles involved, and tells the
story in detail of the erection, financ-
ing, management and use of few
representative types; the second,
Farmers Bulletin 1173, Plans of
Rural Community Buildings, gives the
floor plans of 81 buildings Of the bet
ter class. illustrating various types.
Methods Of Financing.
1t is pointed out in this third bull
letin that though community buildings
are financed in a number of ways, as
individual donations, local industry,
well-established social or fraternal
organizations, by far the greatest
number are erected through the united
effort of interested people and various
organizations OF the community. When
the latter plan is employed the neces-
sary money is obtained either by vol
untary contributions or by the sale
of stock. Subscriptions are paid in
the form of money, labor or mate
rails.
Financing building by general vol
untary contributions is suggested as
perhaps the simplest, quickest and
most elastic way, while incorporated
stock associations furnish more of the
elements of financial permanency.
The community method Of financing
has a number Of advantages: ~
People are devoted to that to which
they voluntarily subscribe; (2) this
method develops community cO-opera-
ton, promotes union, and decreases
antagonisms through the necessity Of
different organizations and factions
working together in financial cam
paign; (3) as the money is voluntarily
given from private funds, the people
are enabled to make experiments in
the building which they would hesi-
tate to make with public funds or
those Of an individual or club; az
those who pay, control. Only high
type of citizenship subscribes to an
Institution of this kind and thus pub
lie spirit at it's best is in control.
Community Buildings.
In recent years there has been a
growing movement in the erection of
community buildings by the munich
patty through taxation. This method
also has its distinct advantages.
Maintenance expenses of community
buildings are met by dues, fees,
rentals and receipts from entertain
ments. profits and concessions. Some
of the best organizations maintain
their buildings entirely by annual dues.
In the case of buildings financed by
an individual or by an Industrial con-
Germ, a community association is gen.
orally formed which guarantees the
maintenance of the building as con-
dition of the donation.
Most community associations which
finance their buildings by issuing
stock, incorporate under the state
laws in order that they may have a
more effective instrument for buying,
selling and holding property. To
guide such associations, copies of ar
ticles of incorporation, constitutions
and bylaws now in use by a num-
Der of well-established organizations
are included in the bulletin. State
laws relating to municipalities and
counties erecting buildings are also
given. Copies Of the bulletin can be
obtained free on application to the

AUTOMOBILE

The motorist who continually takes
chances usually finishes his ride in an
ambulance bound for a hospital.
Because Of the narrow streets In
many of the cities and towns of Japan,
the motorcycle has become far more
popular in the Orient than the auto
mobile.

If the engine shows too great a

probably clogged and should be cleaned
out thoroughly with hot water and
washing soda.

Don't neglect your steering mechan-

Don't neglect your manifold. If you
have spark plug which is not
screwed tight, or a petcock partly
open, or gasket which is not abso-
lutely alright, your engine will miss
badly when you try to make it pull
at slow speed on a hill. To find air
leaks squirt little oil around the plug
or gasket and if bubbles show up you
have a leak.
