URGE $3.50 WHEAT PRICE.
Growers Appeal to President, Who
Is Considering Problem.

An appeal for $3.50 wheat has been
made to President Wilson by the Ma
tional Wheat Growers Association.
organized August 30 at the National
Hotel here, according to an announce
ment sent out today.
In it's letter to the President the
association says that unless growers
are given assurances of fair returns
on their product next year they can
not maintain their normal acreage"
as their losses this year have been
great. A request is made for an as
sured price of $3.50 wheat in the home
market.
I'VE believe" say the growers,
such a price would mean an acreage
Of at least Is per cent larger than
wheat raisers can afford to plant at
the present price"
The reply of the President, made
public, declares that he has the mat
ter under advisement ito time when
it will be much more possible than it
is now to determine the actual ele-
ments of cost entering into the pro-
duction of the next wheat harvest"
The executive committee is headed
by Maurice McAuliffe, president of the
Kansas Farmers Union. Headquar-
ters are being maintained in the Bliss

We have every reason to believe
that there Will be soon a new thrust
by Plumer between Lens and Ypres.
Only the German retirement out of
the Flanders salient has postponed
the thrust by retreat, and there can
be no great additional withdrawal, so
near are the British to Lille already.
And we have equal basis for expect

other German flank, of which there
