NEWS FROM THE
STATE CAPITAL,

Raleigh, Dec, 18.-The anxiety
that many have shared over the
prospect Of a scarcity Of wheat
for the roller mills Of this state |
to manufacture into -four has been
relieved.
Owing to the exaggerated re
ports of the amount Of wheat
grown in North Carolina this year
there was a disposition not to al
low wheat from other states to be
shipped here, in which case we
would have run short.
But state food administrator,
Henry Page, went to Washington
to see Mr.. Hoover about it. He
has returned and says the North
Carolina roller mills will be sup
piled with wheat from outside,
and an order to that effect goes
out this week from the National
Food Administration, and, as the
price Of wheat is -tilat
board, there will bo nv c1>uu1tio
praeticed.
There is another important de-
velopment affecting cotton seed
oil mills, and the price of cotton
seed and cotton seed meal. Some
dealers have been charging and
the mills have been paying more
than the limit fixed for seed. Mr..
Pages office is sending out warn
ings to those concerned that any
| future infringements along this
line will get them into serious
trouble.
Raleigh has been practically
without sugar for several weeks
and Eastern North Carolina is re
ported to be in the same condi
ton, and other sections are bu

EMPEROR TAKES BACK SEAT

STOCKHOLM, Jan. /. More
space was given to Jack London by
the Swedish papers than to Emperor
Francis Joseph, news of whose deaths
was received at almost the same time.
Long biographies, profusely illus
trated, We're published by most of the
papers, and genuine sorrow was dis
played generally at London's death.
No other contemporaneous Ameri-
can author was as popular and widely
read in Sweden as Jack London.
Twenty four of his stories have ap-
peared in translation since 1907, and
sales have reached nearly two hun
dred and thirty thousand.
London once told his Swedish pub-
Usher, according to the latter's state
ment, that, considering population.

Sweden than anywhere else.
