BRITAIN RUES
 ]. s. BUILDING
 BIGGEST NAVY
(By United Pressl

London, Jan 20.-The British pub lie is greatly agitated over the failure of the government to schedule pro- gram of naval construction which will keep the empire abreast of the United States. If British inactivity con- tinues, America will supplant the United Kingdom as the mistress of the seas when the American program is completed in 1925.
 In fact, the question of naval strength and the ambitious program of the United States have crowded back the Irish question as the one first in the mind of the British pub lie. Since the American plans were announced, however, no steps have been taken by the Lloyd George min istry to keep the kingdom on equal footing with the rival power.
 Reduction of naval strength has been the policy of the Lloyd George ministry since the signing of the treaty of Versailles, although British pride in naval strength and supremacy has prevented quiet acceptance of it by the public.

20.63O BALES ARE
 CINNED 10 JAN. l

Ginnings of cotton from the 1920 crop in Faulkner county prior to January ], 1921, totaled 20 ,630 bales, according to a bulletin received by the Log Cabin Democrat from the census bureau today. This compares with 14,071 to the same date last year and with ginnings to January 1 in preced- ing years as follows: Crop of 1918, 13, ,436 bales; 1917, 1S,230 bales; 1916, 21 ,602 bales; 1915, 17,305 bales; 1914, 22,309 bales; 1913, 23, 800 bales; 1912, 20,201 bales.
 The average number of bales ginned in this county after January 1 since 1911 is 1923 bales, but the number varies greatly from year to year. Last year, due to delay by rains in the regular gathering season and to close gatherings induced by the high prices, 2,492 bales were ginned be- tween January 1 and the close of the ginning season, but of the 1917 crop only 390 bales were ginned after the first of the year.

SOVIET REPORTED
 AGAIN NEAR FALL
(By United Press)

Riga, Jan. 20-New reports that Premier Lenine is mentally and phy- sically incapacitated and the soviet reign near collapse, are contained in wireless dispatches today from Mos COW. The dispatches declare that Lenine is dangerously i'll and closely guarded by Bolshevik officers and sol diers, who take every precaution against poison being placed in his food.
 Food specialists closely examine all food before it is carried to the pre- mier's room. If a dish of it is at all suspicious, part of 1t is fed to a servant, and if the servant lives, the premier is permitted to eat the re- mainder.
 Leaders of the soviet are said to live in, daily fear that new revolt will displace them as the rulers of Russia.
