Wheat Farm ers
S. Are Saddened

DAVENPORT, Sept. 21.-Not
in twenty years have Central
Washington wheat growers been
confronted with a situation that
prevailed from Monday of last
week when the farmers could
not sell a Dusnel of wheat, there
being no quotations.
Few of the farmers sold their
holdings when wheat reached
top notch of $1.02 here, but
when 1t reached 81 cents on
Monday and the growers found
no market on Tuesday hundreds
of thousands of bushels were
eagerly offered for sale at the
previous quotation, but with no
buyers to take the crop.
This condition prevails
throughout the Big Bend coun-
try, which has disposed of prob
ably 80 per cent of the crop. In
Lincoln county about half of the
100000 bushel production Is
sold.

URGES REAL
CUT IN TAX
REDUCTIONS

Don't stop at the % mill levy.
Keep on cutting as far as you can
and get the levy down below the
legal limit"
This was the advice of ]. T.
Lyle, secretary of the Tacoma
Taxpayers association, who at
tended today's session of budget
pruning at the city hall.
"Just because the law says we
cannot have a higher levy than
10 mills. is no reason that the
eommissf 7ners should try to
bring the taxes down just to the
15-mfll limit" said Lyle. 81

every taxpayer in Tacoma that

in a semicircle my father, the
Minister, DIR. Bressler, and finally,
Filling, but the conversation
which arose was ON general top

About eight o'clock the guests
in general broke up. MY father
wanted TO detain them all longer,
and also murmured mechani-
cally a few hospitable phrases,
e. g., AT least you will stay for
a cup of tea"-but in vain. Each
produced some excuse; one had
an engagement at the casino; an
other at a party; one of the la

wanted to see the fourth act of
the "Hugenots; another ex-
peeted some friends at her house;

father.

Filling, smiling; but as the other
guests are going it would be in

doctor.
"Well. then, l will not let eth

A few minutes later my father
and the doctor had seated them

deep in a game of piquet, while
Baron Tilling kept close to the

SOUTH
TACOMA BOOST

Commissioner of Finance
Charles Atkins, who lives in
South Tacoma, has a plan for
beautifying that suburb and max
ing 1t a real business center.
Atkins tentatively put his idea
before the council today. He
would force all wires on Union
avenue--the main street of South
Tacoma = underground, and
would put a string of cluster
lights from SIND to 54th streets.
Then he would put the street
car trolley poles in the center of
the street.
There's lots of business in
South Tacoma, and there's no
reason why Tacoma shouldn't aid
in making the place more beau
tiful," said Atkins.
