SECOND WEEK AT HAHIRA
EVEN BETTER THAN FIRST

A d.
bacco market closed the second
week of the season Friday after
noon with satisfactory figures\ and
a splendid record as compared with
other tobacco markets in the state.
There are only two tobacco ware
houses being operated at Hahira, the
market at this place being only one
year old.
Though the marketing. Of tobacco
might be said to yet be IN Its IN
fancy at this place 1t is growing
fast. 1t is a market created by the
farmers with warehouses owned ana
supported by them. Up to the pres
ent time the market has been in OPP
Grafton only two weeks, lacking
two DAYS. and the following figures
are correct as to pounds, per cent
and dollars expended:
The Fenner & Smith warehouse
sold the first week 22S,278 pounds
at an average of 20.75 cents per
pound, bringing SAT, 367.67. The sec
ond week their sales ran to 372,-
058 pounds, with an average of 23.l9
cents per pound, bringing $50, 2SO.22.
The Gold Leaf warehouse, which Is
being operated for the first time
this season, has fallen very little
short of the splendid record of the
senior market, having sold 228,224
pounds the first week, averaging
2021 cents per pound, paying out
$46,10124, and the second week
climbing to the figures of 37O,98S
pounds at an average of 22,3l per
pound, paying out 82,76I42, the to-
tails for the entire season being
1890 pounds of tobacco bringing
the farmers 1852, 516.5S.
Only about one-fourth of the to-
bacco crop in this section has been
placed on the market and the past
is indicative of a very good season
through the month of August ami
first half of September. The com
ing week bids fair TO be one of the
busiest weeks of the season.

Expert Outlines Means to Cut
Cost of Erecting Small Home
Tells Builder HO,v to Cut Features Not
Absolutely Vital and Ho,c Materials
of Less Costly Grade Can Be Used.

Nobody starts out to build a small
home without first wondering how
much he Is going to pay for 1t, says
Robert Taylor Jones, technical direc-
tor, Northwestern Division of Archi-
tects' Small House Service Bureau.
out Of the thousands upon thou
sands of letters that come to my desk
every month from people living in
every section of the United States
who are thinking about building
certainly more than half start out
with the question, How much is my
home going to coast?'" says Mr.
Jones. After I tell them something
about what to expect in this line,
there is almost always disappoint-
ment, and then get the second .ques-
ton. 1t runs like this: What can
do to reduce costs?' This is such an
important general question that
think you may be interested in my
answer to 1T so that is what this story
is about-how to reduce home build
ing costs.
There is just one way to reduce.
and that is to reduce. But perhaps
there are two methods of doing this.
They both entail some sacrifices. One
you want. That means reducing
quantities. The other way is not to
have things quite SO fine as they
might be. That means reducing quail
tiles. l think I can show you reduc-
tions along these two lines which are
not such desperate matters after all.
Perhaps you will be interested when
tell you that you can save at least
% per cent of the cost of building by
making reductions that will not spoil
your house or cut down its comfort
in any essential or permanent way.
1 am going to tell you how to do
these things, not because l think 1t is
desirable for anybody to do without
what we know what is fine, but be-
cause I think you really want a home
and are ready to make sacrifices If
somebody will tell you how to make
them. Here goes then:
Porch Can he Eliminated.
"One of the things you can leave off
is the porch. This is not as easy a
thing to do in certain climates as in

ADDITION PLANNED
TO WILLARD HOTEL
Work of Razing F Street
Building, to Make Room,
Begins at Once.

Construction of an addition to the
New Willard Hotel has been planned.
and the work Of razing the old bank
building on F street to make way
for the new structure will be started
Immediately. 1t was announced by
Frank S. Hight. managing director of
the hotel. 1t is proposed to have 1t
completed by fall.
The new addition. which will have
a frontage of about fifty feet, will
be of steel and brick construction. and
will be modern throughout. It will
be nine stories high and will contain
sixty-one rooms. which will give the
New Willard a total Of $50 rooms.
Each room will have bath and
shower and will have the latest and
most up-to-date appointments.
To Observe General Scheme.
The same general scheme of archi-
lecture as used in the present hotel
building will be followed, and en-
trance to the new addition will be
gained through the present F street
entrance. There will also be two
large and commodious rooms on the
street level which will be used for
business purposes.
This Is the second addition to the
New Willard since it's erection in
1901, and has been necessitated owing
to the growth of the city and the
resulting increase in business. Plans
for enlarging the New Willard have
been In contemplation for some years,
but the war and the subsequent rise
in building costs delayed their exc
cution.
The New Willard is operated by the
Capitol Hotel Company. of which L.
NJ. Boomer Of New York is the head.
Once Temporary White House,"
When President and Mrs. Coolidge
took up their residence temporarily
there after the death of President
Harding, for nearly a month 1t served
as the temporary White House. Be-
fore becoming President and while
serving as Vice President of the
United States, Mr.. Coolidge and the
members of his family made their
home at the New Willard, as did
former Vice President and Mrs.
Thomas r. Marshall while they lived
in Washington.
The present structure was erected
on the site of the original Willard
Hotel.
