merchants can seldom be employed
profitable unless the producer ships
given products in substantial amounts
or associates himself with other pro-
ducers for assembling shipments large
enough to be handled economically by
rail. Direct marketing in cities, there
fore, opens up to the small farms of
the surrounding country profitable
lines of production which otherwise
could not be followed, or results in
the sale of surplus products which
otherwise might be lost.
Studies in City Marketing.
Because of Importance of city mar
keting to the farmer in these various
ways, the Office of Markets and Ru
raj Organization has taken up one of
its important projects, city marketing
and distribution. Through this pro-
ject the aim of the Office has been to
study marketing conditions in various
cities; to determine as accurately as
possible the sources of loss and waste
in city marketing and the methods by
which such losses and waste may be
eliminated; to develop general plans
for efficient marketing facilities of
various kinds for cities; to aid by spe-
cific suggestions such cities as may
cnolr fhai,.
marketing conditions. In this work
the Office has sought to benefit alike
all parties to marketing transactions
by attempting to remove obstacles
from the market channels so that a
more rapid, more even and less waste
fur flow of commodities from produc-
er to consumer will be possible.
The rail and water terminals in
cities constitute the most important
factors in their marketing machinery
for farm products, since the vast bulk
of such products consumed in cities
be brought in by carload or boatload
lots. Recognizing that such termin-
ais are not arranged to the best ad-
vantage in most cities and that to
this are due some of the high hand
ling costs and some of the important
losses of commodities, the Office of
Markets made terminal facilities the
subject of one of it's earliest investi-
cations in city marketing. 1t has
found that the uneconomic arrange
ment of terminal facilities is most
pronounced in the larger cities, but
that the fault is common to a greater
or less degree in all cities of import
ance.

After losing three straight, the
Tigers wakened to the fact that
they were playing paseoaIl and

Dick Kaufman pitched a nice
game of ball, and the Tacoma

right merrily. The game ended
with a to 2 score.
Edison Johnson was the star of
the Tiger lineup, making two
doubles and single In four times

Tacoma scores, and making some
sensational catches in center
field. Hughes was wild. Several
errors were made by both teams,

Estimates for Government Expenses Greater Than
 Ever Before.
RAISING OF TAXES
 ISN'T CONTEMPLATED
Treasury Officials Think That Addi. tiOnal Revenue Will Be Obtained by Sale of Panama Canal Bonds, Of
 Which Treasury Has $25O,OOO,OOO.

Washington, Oct. 15.-At midnight tonight, the departmental estimatea for the operation of the government during the next fiscal year, totallng more than $1 1,240, 000,000-sthe largest amount ever asked for similar period-were in the office of the sec retary of the treasury. Although Secretary McAdoo is absent from the city, it was indicated from reliable sources in his department that as soon as he returns from the Pacific coast, which will be in about ten days, he will confer with HPresident Wilson and the members of the cabl- net as to how this sum is to be raised.
 It was generally conceded among treasury officials that the most like ly course for, raising the additional money needed will be by the sale Of bonds. The idea that the only course open-ihcreased taxation- would be followed, is receiving little support inasmuch as there is a quantity of unsold Panama canal bends in the treasury, which might, with the proper authorization be used 10 raise the funds. These funds amount to about s250, 100000. With the fund which could be raised in this man. ,ner, it is stated the government could easily provide fer the programs mapped out for national defense hich call for about $400,000,000, ol which s1S2,O0O,OO0 will be devoted rt he army.
 The estimates had the right of way at the white house today. Practical, ly all the time the president spent in his cffice was devoted to confer ences> win various members of his cabinet, with whom he talked ovel he individual budgets.
 It was understood tonight that tht president gave his approval to eacf of the items.

GREECE DECIDES TO
 REMAIN OUT OF WAR
Note to Great Britain Explains Posi- ton, and Asserts Greece Will Not Become Involved ''at the Present Time"- ROumapia to Be Forced
 to Action.

London, Oct. 15.-The Austro- Ger man invasion of Serbia made another distinct advance today, when the Ger mans captured the town of POzarevac. twelve miles southeast of Semendria. At the same time, the first Bulgar- ian army, attacking on the eastern frontier captured several passes, and rcpulsed Serbian troops who attempt cd to take strategic points on the Sofia road, in the Koftendil district. The Teuton progress, slight as it is, was made at enormous cost, according to neutral reports, as the Serbians are fighting desperately for every foot of ground they surrender. Ser bian reports place the losses of the Austro-Germans so far at 20,000 kill ed and 10000 wounded. i
 The Bulgarian official statement, issued tonight, says the Bulgarian losses 50 far amount to IS killed and 190 wounded.
 MOntenegrins Check TeutOns.
 No mention is made by either Ber- lin or Vienna of the operations on the western frontier of Serbia. An unofficial dispatch, however, says that the Monteneerins have made such desperate resistance to the Austro- Germans all along the front that the latter have been compelled to send for endorsements.
 An Amsterdam dispatch says the Austrians have driven the Serbians from Tirana and occupied the town.
 SecOla, of Milan, has received T +1l. .,fof %1,pk fxa Serbian capital has been removed from Nish to Mitrovitza.
 The military critic of Universal. of Bucharest, expresses the belief that the Anglo-French troops will not go to the aid of the Serbians at Nish, but will make direct attack on Sofia from the Serbian border. thus cut ting Bulgaria in two and stopping the Austro-German advance by one of the principal railroads to Con- stantinople.
 Greece Announces Neutrality.
 While the quadruple entente allies continue perfecting their preparations to assist Serbia, and additional troops are being landed at Salonika daily, Greece in a long note to the British government announced she had definitely decided not to enter the war tat the present time."
 Roumania, despite German urging. refuses to define her position. Small hope for her to remain neutral is seen here. Should she refuse Rus sia's reported demand to permit the passage of the czar's troops through Roumania to Serbia, trouble with the allies is deemed inevitable.
 Should their passaged be allowed. it is expected that Germany will strike at the Roumanians.

 London, Oct. 15-In note to the
