By JAMES A. FREAR of Wisconsin, Speech IN House.

Why has not the American congress granted to

FLOODS KILL MANY
 CHINESE PEOPLE
Missionary Says Famine Has Followed Destruction of
 Food Crops
By Associated Press

New York. December 3o.-New floods, sweeping over vast sections of China and followed by famine. have killed thousands and left hundreds of thousands starving. This was the message received today by the Epis- copal department of missions from Rev. Edmund J. Lee, secretary of the international famine relief commit tee at Ahnwei.
 The Yellow river, which last Au- gust overflowed its banks, flooding a large part of the province of shan tung, again has risen, this time cov- ering great tracts In Shantung, kt- angsu and Ahnwei and finding a new outlet to the sea.
 "So suddenly did the flood come, that great numbers were unable to escape" wrote the clergyman. Whole villages were swept away and thou sands were drowned.
 Tn Ahnwei province the Hawai- river burst it's banks and has be- come one great inland sea. Large parts of 13 counties are submerged, the flooded area comprising about 10. 900 square miles"
 Other reports received at Episco- pal headquarters indicated that sey- eral lakes had been formed over enormous tracts formerly under cul- tivation and that it was impossible to drain many sections. This would mean that the dispossessed would be unable to return to their ruined viii lages and would be dependent on famine relief the rest of the winter.
 An international famine relief SO ciety has been organized In Aknwei, including the governor. military gov ernor and Bishop Huntington.

OF COAL MINED !,
IN. n. D. IN 1921
Was 1916 Tons More Than
That Mined a Year
Ago
1876 MORE MEN EMPLOYED
Miners Worked An Average or
l21 Days to Produce
This Coal

North Dakota came close to rank
ing with the states producing a mil
lion tons~of coal for the year closing
Oct. 81, 1921, according to the report
OF Mine Inspector John Hanwell, sub
mitted to Governor r. A. Nestos re.
Gently. The total amount Of coal
mined In the state in the period was
8S5,715 This amount was an increase
over the amount mined flor the pre-
ceedlng annual period Of 1916 tons.
The added production gave work TO
436 additional men. The valuation of
the 1921 coal over that of 1920 was
$297,116,l0.
The report for this year covered the
operations Of 12S mines, fourteen more
than reported for year ago. While
large number Of new mines were
opened in the state during the period,
few Of them reached the stage where
their production affected the output to
q large extent and the state increase
OF 10000 tons is largely from the
we'll established mines. In producing
this coal, miners worked an average
of 121 days, or practically one day for
each three throughout the year.
One of the interesting sidelights in
the report is the number of mines
employing a single miner, twenty-five
of these being listed Some Of these
one mani mines, however, are not re-
ported as producing coal. The Vein
andy Coal Company with 28S days
work for its one miner and 1861 tons
produced is the largest in output. The
Bowman Coal Company with 240 days
work for it's single miner and an out
put of 7S4 tons stands second.
In contrast to the one man mines,
the pit at Washburn, declared by many
to be the largest Ignite mine in the,
United States produced 24O,S04 tons,
valued at three quarters ofsa million
dollars, while the mine at Beulah and
the Lucky Strike-mine had 66,61S and
$3.50 respectively.
Conditions in the mines are gener.
ally reported as good in the report OF
the. inspector While the records OF
accidents is not considered as COM
plete because the records of the mine
inspectors Office were destroyed in the
burning of the Northwest hotel, once

dents occurred during the year.

WHEAT TO TAKE
PLACE OF MONEY

Budapest, Dec. 31.-Wheat as a sta
bilizing unit Of exchange instead Of
money based on imaginary reserves
of gold or silver, was suggested by
Secretary Of State Vician to the Syn.
dicate of Hungarian Farmers at a re-
cent meeting.
He proposed that banknotes of the
value of a "quintal" or 220 pounds of
wheat, be issued. Wheat as a stand
ard of value already has received
some recognition. Many farm leases
are made on that basis and, in the
new agrarian reform measures. taxes
have been specified as payable in
Wheat-values.
