THE RIO GRANDE NOW A SEA
Unprecedented Flood in the Border
River Has Caused a Loss of
Millions in Property.

McAlien, Tex-With a sea OF water
thirty or forty miles wide and extend
ing for a distance Of one hundred
miles along its lower course, the Rio
Grande has flooded a score or more
of towns and caused destruction of
property amounting to millions of dol
lars in value.
But for ample warning two or three
days in advance of the coming Of the
unprecedented inundation, the loss of
life would probably have been heavy.
While communication with many Of
the smaller communities along the
river is cut off, it is believed the peo-
pie saved themselves by escaping to
higher ground. On the Mexican side
Of the river Camargo, Reynosa, Mier
and a number OF other towns are un-
der water and hundreds Of adobe
houses have crumbled into heaps of
ruins. According to meager reports
from Matamora, part OF that city is
flooded.

MISSING LINER FOUROERED
Spanish Passenger Steamer VaIbanera
Located Under Forty Feet of
Water Off Florida Coast.

Key West, Fla-Imbedded in quick
sand under forty feet of water off Re-
becca Shoals Lighthouse, divers have
found the hulk of a vessel believed
to be the Spanish passenger liner Val
banera, which has been missing since
the eastern portion of the Gulf of Mex
leo was swept by a hurricane recent
1y.
The divers, employed by the Cuban
consul here after the sunken wreck
was discovered by a United States
coast guard vessel, reported that the
name "Va1banera" could be made out
clearly, but no trace was found OF the
three hundred passengers and $50
members of the crew reported aboard
the Spanish liner when she left Spain
for Havana
The steamer found off the Rebecca
Shoals Lighthouse, which is forty
miles from here, the divers said, ap-
peared to be about six thousand tons
The missing Valbanera was of 1921
tons net. Further investigation, how
ever, is expected to clear beyond all
doubt the identity of the wreck.
The Valbanero appeared off Moro
Castle, Havana, September 9, but was
unable to put into port on account Of
the storm. Within the last few days
faint wireless calls supposed to be
from the Valbanera have been picked
up here and at Havana. The signals
as received here, however, have been
so weak as to prevent any attempt to
locate their source. Two Cuban gun
boats were engaged Ia searching along
the northern shore OF the Island of Gu
ba and in the Bahamas for some trace
of her In marine circles it was con-
sidered probable that some of the Val
banera's survivors might have sent
the calls, using improvised apparatus
taken from the vessel and set up on
land or on a raft

ratification, against a motion for in

WOMEN CAN HELP
CUT LIVING COST
Federal Wheat Director Barnes
Makes Address TO Bakers
Convention at Chicago.
OPTIMISTIC ABOUT BUSINESS
Or. A. c. Miller Gives Bread Pro-
ducers Reasons for Present High
Prices of Necessities

Chicago.@Julius H Barnes, federal
wheat director, in an address before
the American Association OF the Bak-
ing Industry, said he believed the high
cost of living would be lowered by
housewives themselves. He expressed
optimism for business also.
He said he had not entirely approved
of the government wheat price guar
antee, but that he thought the "over-
flow wheat acreage would probably be
corrected with the coming year"
Dr. A. c. Miller of the federal re-
serve board discussed the problem of
high cost of foods.
at must be said that there has been
lack of correspondence OF changes
Of wages with changes in the cost OF
living In many cases, wages have
Jagged, in other cases they have over
taken and outrun the rise in the cost
OF living
Adjust Wage System.
Some mechanism by which wages
may promptly be adjusted to changes
in the cost of living must be accepted
as an essential part of the American
wage system.
Such action is particularly urgent In
view of the extremely uncertain and
disturbed course which prices and the
cost of living seem likely to follow for
q good many years to come, or until
the affairs of the world are once moro
in a state of settled equilibrium.
"Of the major influences in the price
changes which have taken place in the
five years, there are three that stand
out conspicuously. They are:
81 The excessive demand by bellig-
erent governments for war supplies
both before and after our entry into
the war 3 The excessive expansion
of banking. 8. Shortage of supplies in
lines, due to wasteful consumption and
loss of goods, heavy loans of capital
and operations OF goods and the slack
ening of production. Taking the five
year period, 1914 to 1919, the most per
sistent single influence affecting
prices has been the expanding state
of credit.
Many Causes for n. c. l..
Taking the most recent period, the
fiscal year 1919, which included eight
months following the armistice, the
active and immediate causes Of rising
prices are the greatly increased ship
ment and sale of merchandise On cred
it to Europe, particularly foodstuffs
and manufactured articles ready for
consumption, slackening Of production,
diminishing economy of consumption
and profiteerng and the speculative
holding CT goods for a rise
