 CHALLENGE

Special to Nome industrial Worssr.
 CHICAGO. Oct. 1.-The weekly bul. letin issued by J. Mahlon Barnes, na. tional secretary of the socialist party, says:
 President Gompers, of the Ameri- can Federation of Labor, in the Sep tember number of the Federationist asks the question of Comrade Debs. Where does your party. get the money?" This, notwithstanding the fact that copy of the published re- port of contributions up to. and includ- ing August 15, was mailed to the of- flee of Mir. Gompers on August g.
 This question of Mir. Gompers ap- bearing in the official organ of the American Federation of Labor raises the issue in all affiliated bodies and subdivisions or local unions of the same. The members of these organ- izations are entitled to a reply, and the same will be issued from tae na- tional office of the socialist party dur ing the present week. circular let. ter will be addressed to the local sec. retaries of every organization affiliat. ed with the American Federation of Labor, and also to the secretaries ot other labor organizations. The same will also be supplied to anyone upon application who sends two cents to cover postage.
 The trade unionists without regard to political affiliation, should see to 1t that this document Is read in their union meeting. Possibly without an exception, every labor organization in America contains some members who have contributed financial support to the socialist party, and it becomes them to acquaint themselves with the fact that their contributions have been properly credited, and they should also be interested in having their fellow workers informed on the same sub. ject. Trade unionists, you are again renuestef to x;ae to 1t that this aues. tion Is thoroughly discussed. Have both sides presented and let the facts be known.

A GOOD WHEAT CROP,

Leavenworth. Kan, July 15-Glean-
ings from reports of train crews indi-
cate that farmers along the Leaven-
worth Western branch of the Union
Pacific expect an average wheat yield
of 10 to Is bushels an acre. The yield
last year was 20 bushels Notwithstand-
ing these reports the total wheat yield
along the branch road will be greater
than ever before if the expectations at
the local railroad offices. are verified.
The acreage in wheat is great enough
to more than overcome the discrepancy
in the yield.
Until recently the farmers living on
the western end of the Leavenworth-
Western branch, especially in PottaI
watomie county, were under the i'm
preston that they could raise no wheat
on their land and devoted their farms
to raising corn. Last summer the first
car of wheat shipped for ten years was
hauled out of Blaine, Kan, by the l..
X. & W. Now the farmers favor wheat
and the part of the state through which
the Leavenworth Western branch runs.

raising sections of Kansas.

Hutchinson. Kan, July 15.-Threshing
has become general all over the GEN.
trail and western part of Kansas. Re
ports from the elevators west of here
on the Santa Fe and the Rock Island
and the local mills and elevators here
show this by the large amount of wheat
they are handling the last few days.
The local Santa Fe freight train which
comes over the Kinsley branch has
been bringing between Is and 20 car
loads of wheat every day for the last
week and by the latter part of this
week. providing it stays dry. % to So
cars will come on the Santa Fe and
probably that many more on the other
roads.
Hutchinson boasts of the largest
flour mill west of the Mississippi river
and. besides it are three other mills of
large capacities. Consequently there
are thousands of bushels of wheat ship
ped here every year.
Threshing has become so general that
it is possible to tell what the most of
the crop will average per acre. AS
much as 25 bushels per acre have been
reported from fields around Great
Bend. 1t is hard to tell what the gen
eral average in Reno county will be
