HOME BEAUTIFUL
IS FURNISHED IN
CHARMING STYLE

Of charm in keeping with the rooms
which they adorn are the furnishings
purchased by the Fred Hubbe1 syndi-
cate for the "home beautiful at 1414
Ninth street, which was thrown open
to public inspection today
All of the furniture for the new
home was secured especially by the
Hubbell syndicate through the Phelps
Dodge Mercantile company and can be
safely accepted as representing the
very latest in furniture design and
finish.
The living room suite consists of
four pieces-a settee, an arm chair,
an occasional chair and a decorated
end table. The settee is of mahogany,
overstuffed, with reversible cushions.
Backs of the settee and the arm chair,
both inside and out, are of Chinese
blue mohair. The spring-filled cush-
ions are reversible, one side being fig
ured mohair and the other brocaded
tapestry. The occasional chair is of
the Queen Anne period, with tapestry
back and mohair seat.
The old Spanish motif is carried out
in the eight t-piece dining room suites,
of walnut. The suite consists of a
buffet. square table and six tap
estry seated chairs. A gate-legged
table and four chairs, done in impe-
rial gray, decorated comprise the
breakfast suite.
Perhaps the most novel feature of
the furnishings for the, "home beau
! tiful'' is the arcadian green finish of
one of the bedroom suites. The suite
consists of five pieces-a poster bed
| vanity dresser, chest, bench and
rocker. Decorated walnut panels set
| off the dull finish of these pieces in
charming manner. The other bedroom
suite is of the Colonial period, in an
tique mahogany, consisting of poster
bed, vanity dresser, chest, night table
bench and rocker.
/ Not the least charming of the many
! entirely new features of the "homt
beautiful" furnishings are the Wilton
! rugs used throughout. The rugs are
of jaspe taupe ground, with blue ross
and tan figures in Chinese designs.

niture department of the Phelps Dodge
Mercantile company devoted consider

with the Fred Hubbell syndicate, il

its size in this section of the countr!
has ever been more completely or NOR
ornately furnished.

The completion of this beautltuL
residence does not merely mark the
fulfillment of builders order to his
contractor. The Douglas home beau
tiful," completed and furnished as it
will be seen today, represents many
months of planning, many months OF
scouting for special materials and an
! endelss amount of detail %worN, in
which the local business houses have
co-operated to the fullest extent with
the Fred Hubbel; syndicate in the
ayowed effort to make the new dwell
ing one of the finest in the southwest.
The Douglas Dispatch has supported
the "home beautiful" idea ever since
it was first considered many months
ago by Fred Hubbell and his associates.
In supporting the project it has been
felt that the "home beautiful" idea, il
properly executed, would be in the
nature of real service to the COM
munity.
After viewing this charming home,
which has been so tastefully furnihsed,
none can say that the Fred Hubbell
syndicate has Ta:ied to achieve it aims,
namely to present to the residents of
Douglas, for their consideration, a.
dwelling of attractive design, scien-
tifically laid out and furnished in per-
feet harmony. The care exercised by
the builders in their selectionss of
building materials, fixtures and fur
nishings has made the "home beauti-
fur truly masterpiece In modern
home building.
The aim of Fred Hubbell and his as-
sociates has not been simply to build
and sell a home. 1t was the hope of
these men that by building and fur
nishing a model home they might aiqI
in remedying1 a situation which at
present bids fair to retard, rather
than to accelerate the city's progress.

itor who stops to consider whether
or not Tucson might be desirable

The city of Douglas hasn't averaged
new home a year during the past
six years. Not only have practically
no new homes been built, but nothing
has been done to replace the scores or
buildings which in that Period Of time
have fallen into state of dilapida-
tion.

COST
IN DOUGLAS IS
YET REASONABLE

The concensus of opinion of many
residents of Douglas seems to be that
building costs have shot upward in
many sections of the country, but that
in Douglas alone pre-war costs should
still prevail.
Local building contractors and firms
handling building materials unite in
assuring the public of Douplas that teh
increase of such materials in Douglas
has been in direct proportion to the
increases elsewhere.
Many cities the size Of Douglas
boast quite a number of costly homes,
the cost of some running from $50,0oo
upward Today a modern, well built
home involving an investment of from
$4,000 to $4,000 is considered quite
common, and people do not feel that
they have overreached themselves in
making such an investment
In Douglas comparatively small
number of really costly homes are 20
be found. Aside from Il few really
pretentious dwellings, most of the resi-
dences in Douglas were built before
the war at costs far below the prices
onw prevailing. Fur -hermore, as a
result of the business slump of sew
eral years ago, houses have been sold
at prices remarkably low, in some in
stances even less than their pre-war
cost.
The outcome of these conditions has
been a growing impression that build
ing costs are unusually low in Doug
las. and the mere mention of $4,000
or 10000 home brings forth immedi-
ate exclamations about extravaganza
and unreasonable building COSTS
The fact that practically no new

FIFTH STREET SITE
FOR MARKET LIKED
Rhode Island Citizens Asso-
citation Calls Location Best
for Whole City.

The vicinity Of Fifth and K streets
was favored as IAN ideal location" for
a site for the new market to replace
the present Center Market. in a reso-
luton adopted by the Rhode Island
Avenue Citizens Association, at a
meeting in the Sunday school hall
of the Sherwood Presbyterian Church
last night. Such a location was de-
clared to be the most convenient to
he majority of Washington citizens.
The Mid.City Citizens Association
also has selected Fifth and K streets
as the most suitable place for the new
market site, and is carrying on a cam
paign to secure its erection there.
After a lengthy discussion the as
ISOLATION voted in favor of extending
the school hours in the junior high
schools from to 3:45 o'clock as a
means of doing away with a certain
portion of home study. The resolution
was adopted, following recommenda-
lions made by Ira b. Nutter, chair
man of the associations school COM
mittee. After the adoption OF that
resolution q vote was registered
against extending the school periods
in the senior high schools from 2:30

school hours for any of the grades
below junior high school was also
recorded.

the repeal of the existing law, recently
ruled upon by the Controller General,

A RI CHRISTMAS

The Courier extends this most gladstone sea-
sonal greeting to every resident of BOzeman and
the Gallatin valley and trusts that for each its
gree.
We sometimes wonder how many people, right
down in their hearts, grasp the full significance
of this annual holiday. How many look upon it
as only a form, or, if a little more sincere, as a
season of goodwill and good cheer, not fully COM
pretending its tremendous meaning to the human
race and to the world?
Christmas is the anniversary of the birth of
Jesus, the Christ, regarded by followers of the
Christian faith as being of divine attributes. But
it is the anniversary of something far greater.
Christmas recalls the fact that 1926 years ago
life, a new code of conduct, a new hope of immor-
tally. The influence of this philosophy has been
so far-reaching as to be beyond human conception.
No other event in the history of the world, from
the farthest ages to the present time, has been
fraUght with such tremendous Importance and
possibilities as the bringing of this philosophy,
through the birth of the Christ child, to the hui
man race. That is what Christmas symbolizes,
and while it is a time for gladness and rejoicing
it is a time for thankful prayerfulness also.
Only to the person who would be content to live
in a world deprived of the teachings and influence
of Christianity could Christmas be only a formal
holiday. To all others it is a time of uplifting of
the heart to God and, through l~ovingkindness to
others, following in the footsteps of the Master.

In the death of Judge William L. Holloway,
who for more than "a years was a member of the
state supreme court, Montana has lost one of her
most fOrwardlOOking, energetic, constructive cit
liens and Gallatin people an earnest, kindly
neighbOr who was respected and loved by all.
The record of Judge Holloway's life and work
should be an inspiration to the serious-minded
young man who is just entering upon his struggle
with the world. One of the most outstanding
characteristics of the dead jurist was his splendid
conception of the relationship between attorney,
the court and citizens whose lives and property
depended upon honesty and fair dealing of the
legal profession and the bench. He gave freely
his best efforts to every phase of his work. Alb.
solutely uncOrruptible, he led a life that is char.
acterized by the Helena Independent as mot only
an example of rectitude for his children, but al
inspiration to his associates on the bench and il
in his profession"
The story of Judge Holloway's life is a stor,
of the conquest of difficulties and adversely. An,
through it all he retained one of the most prize
of attributes kindly simplicity that made hin
the instant friend of high and low alike. 1t CA
be said that Judge Holloway was not only a mos
outstanding man and citizen, but a lawyer and
judge of whom Montana people are proud. Hi
death at such a comparatively early age is indee
a severe loss to the Treasure state.

WASHINGTON, D. C.-COngress
with all it's ramifications of parties
and factions, is trying to ride Presi-
dent Coolidge. What with the farm
bill, the economy program, the tax is
sue, it would seem to the usual OBJ
server and average newspaper reader,
that each and every member Of that
august body had suddenly and stimuli
taneously decided that for once the
president was entirely and completely
wrong in everything he was trying to
do. For the time being, apparently,
there are hardly enough rOstrums or
pulpits or committee rooms for all of
the gentlemen anxious to publicly de-
clare their alarm over the Coolidge
program.
To the amateur in Washington all
this seems most disturbing. He can
not understand how it happens that
senators and representatives, who
during the November elections were
seeking votes on the issue that they
always had stood by and always would
stand by the president, have so sud-
denly changed their tactics and their
attitudes. The visitor is inclined to
the belief that something e%xtraOrdi-
nary is happening. He is half in
clined to whisper to his neighbor that
never before did he see so intense or
so concentrated a desire to pick flaws
in the chief executive.
The truth is, that this is a norma.
off-year demonstration. It always
develops during the session of con
gress. which marks the mid term Of
president. Political minds work IL
