PASSING OF THE ~CHEAP LOAF,

From the Washington Post.l
Whatever may be the merits of the
existing controversy over the causes of
the increased price of bread, there are
some very strong indications that con-
sumers may expect to pay the present
or even higher prices for their bread
for sometime to come. Wheat gamblers
have frequently forced spacmotic
rises in the price of the great staple
through manipulation on the grain ex-
changes, but these fiurries have not
as rule, lasted more than q few weeks
Just long enough to give the millionaire
students of the crop supply time to
make or lose a few millions in cor
ners"- But the present increase in
the price of wheat, and the consequent
advance in the price of flour and
breadstuffs. promises to be more per-
manant. The home consumption of
wheat has increased at marvellous
rate In the last few years, much

OLDEST IN THE WORLD.
Statue of Ancient King Found in
Ruins of Udnun.

Chicago. Oct 2S.-Dr. E. S. Banks
field director of the University of Chi
cago expedition to Babylonia, has re-
ported the discovery of a statue which
he regards as the oldest in the world.
The statue, which was found eight feet
under the ruins of the ancient city of
Udnun, near the present village of
Bismya, has been identified by an in
scription as that of King Daddu of
Udnun.
The statue is of pure white marble,
weighing 200 pounds and is almost per-
feet.
The city of Udnun is mentioned in
the code of Hammurabi, but little is
known of it. Who King Daddu is and
the period in which he reigned is I'M
certain. The earliest records do not
mention him.

more rapidly than the increase in
either acreage or production of the
staple, while the opening of China and
other Eastern markets to American
flour has furnished another source of
demand that it now promises to be
difficult to supply.
The American wheat crop is short
this year, compared with the increased
demand for home consumption, and ex-
perts are already predicting that we
will have a very small supply of the
staple for export trade. The area suit
able for wheat raising is limited by
soil and climatic conditions and can
not be increased to meet the increase
in population and consequent demand
for home consumption. There is a
strong prospect that this country will
not much longer be an exporter of
wheat. England. France, and other
wheat consuming countries are al
ready looking elsewhere for their sup
ply. refusing to consider the American
wheat at existing prices India and
Argentina are at present the only big
wheat producing countries that offer
any show of competition with the
United States, but the reduction of the
export supply in this country will I'M
doubtedly serve as a spur to the en-
ployment of the cheap lands and cheap
labor in India and in South America
to the production OF the worlds great
est staple cereal. It would be a novel
experience to find America buying
wheat and flour in foreign markets.
but such contingency is highly prob
able in view of existing conditions and
the prospect that our demand for home
consumption will soon be in excess of
the home production In any event.
the phesent conditions warrant the
wheat grower in feeling cehtain of good
prices for his products and the con-
sumner is looking upon the Cheap
Loaf as a Renaissance.

Dear Suntnel-JO Ournal: Since L
last wrote you we have been visited
by plenty of big washing rains. 1t
rained on the three first dog days,
aud, according to the old time
prophecy, we will have plenty of
rein as long as dog days last. Crops
are looking fine since the rain set
in.
1t seems like nearly all Of my
communications are laid over a
week for some cause or other, l
know not what.
Visiting is the order of the day,
Mr.. and Mrs. c.. p. Gillespie

County Commissioner 50 he could
vote for them.
Watormelons are fine since the
rain. Come on candidates and we
will divide with you and vote for
who we please.
Road working is the most drend-
ed thing these hot days, and they
began needing the work in places
before they got 1t. The ground
was so hard before the rain that it
was impossible to do much towards
working the roads.
There is some effort being made
to get a now mai route established
from Hazel to Toxaway, n c.,
with three Offices, established on
the line, viz: Reedy Cove, Rocky
Bottom and Little Cane Creek.
We hope the route will be cstAb-
