BICSUMNEEDED TO ENFORCE
 PROHIBITION
Commissioners Haynes to Tell Congress It Must Come to Rescue if Law ls to Be Upheld.

tBy- Internationai News Esrvice)
 Washington, Dec. 20 Fifty mil lion dollars--c count ''em-is1 needed to make a success of prohibition enforcement. {. '.l.'.; (.
 This pat declaration comes from Prohibition Commissioner Haynes, who sees dangers ahead for the Vol stead act He will tell Congress, he says, that it must come to the rescue, if the law is to be upheld and respect for it secured by com pulsion if necessary.
 Commissioner Haynes's estimate of the sum needed for running ex- penses of the Treasury's prohibition unit now is before Budget Director Dawes for approval. It covers needs of liquor law enforcement for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1923.
 q absolutely need $2,500,0 900 more from Congress next year than was allowed in the current fiscal year." said Haynes. That means an appropriation of $10,000,000. But that is not enough. I ought to have $5o,0o0,OO0 to tackle this job right"
 Greatly enlarged forces of dry law agents in all states to CO., operate more actively with the state and municipal authorities is impera- tive, in Haynes's opinion, to insure literal compliance with the volstead law.
 Commissioner Haynes said the government is now going the limit in an assault upon illegal traffick- ing in rum. A smash is now on to stop the leaks at distilleriee. Stopping liquor at it's source, off, cials said, is a prime need. What they aim to do is to scan permit applications so closely that diversion of wAiskey withdrawn from ware houses to illegal uses will be made virtually impossible.
 But Haynes is fully cognizant of the fact that even after all his efforts have been exhausted, with the comparatively limited group of dry law agents at his command there still will remain other and perhaps equally baffling phases of the volstead law problem up to him for action.

.S0VIETS WELL EXPLORE THE
 NORTH SEAS
Undaunted by Loss of Two Ships in Recent Expedi- ton, Plans Under Way for Another Trip.
(By The United Press)

{ London, Dec. 20.-vAl4hough two ships of the Soviet governments re- cent expedition from Western Europe to the Kara Sea were lost,a plans are already being considered for a more expensive expedition in 1922, the object of which will be to fur ther open up this dangerous ice ridden waterway that connects the West with the far reaches of Si- beria, along the Arctic ocean.
 The results of the 1921 expedi- tion are regarded quite satisfactory, especially in having demonstrated the possibility of arranging heavy goods service on large scale. Un- der the. experiment, 556,532 poods of goods from abroad and 100000 poods of tar from Arehangel were delivered in Siberia, while 294,566 ,poods of general merchandise were brought from Siberia to Archangel. Besides the purely practical re- suit that has been achieved by the successful exchange of goods be- tween Siberia and the west, the expedition must be credited with an immense soientific-technical as we'll as political importance. Hitherto tie Northern route has been used but seldom and by private concerns, and always on very modest scale. . According to official reports of the 1921 experiment, the ships par ticipating in the expedition were divided into two groups, the first comprising five vessels and an ice- breaker, all laden with various for eign goods in English, German and Swedish ports. These made their way to Murmansk, from which port they sailed out August Is. At the same time a second fleet sailed from Archangel to the Siberian coast, con sisting of five transports and three ice breakers.
 Each fleet completed it's voyage. The Archangel group saw ice only Oh tHC hOiiAoA, III thC 1Aoid 0Co [, but the foreign group which fol- lowed three days later found itself amongst the icebergs for about a day and half.
 Near the island of Bieloi, the two groups separated. One sailed to the mouth of the Ob and the other to the mouth of the Yenissei. At these respective river openings, they were met by the river boats and proceeded to the transfer of their cargoes. The interchange of goods took place ill unpopnlated dis tricts, but despite the difficulties encountered, was completed in four days ahead of schedule time.
 The homeward voyage was much more difficult than the outward one. A strong north wind brought down masses of ice which made a continuous wall on the route of the vessels. In forcing it's way through this ice the Archangel group lost two steamers. Both were of ian old type and were not

DEPRESSION
 VERY ACUTE
 SAYS WALLACE
Secretary of Agriculture States Low Level of Prices is Undermining Farming Interests.

Boston. Dec. 2O.-The United States Is passing through the most severe agricultural depression of it's history, Secretary Wallace of the Agricultural Department said in an address here yesterday before the Chamber of Commerce.
 Asserting that prices of the chief farm crops are lower than at any time in the nations history, Secrs- tary Wallace predicted that decreas- ed production will result in prices "so high that city consumers will complain bitterly, for the farmer cannot continue to produce at a 1Oss."
 This condition is undermining agriculture, the base of the "pyra- mid which represents our national life.' Mr. Wallace said, adding that the first task of the country is to bring agriculture through this critical period with the least pos sible damage"
 The industrial East, Secretary Wallace said, may feel the need of a sympathetic and thoroughly ef- ficient agricult,Are sooner than is realized, since the billions of dollars which we have loaned to Europe must he paid, not in gold, but in goods which compete with our own manufacturers and which are pro- duced at cost far below our own, and to meet such competition our own people must have the cheapest possible food"

KILLED AND
 BODY PLACED
 ON KY. TRACK
This Is the Opinion of Off cials of Searcy Concern ing the Death of Lee Puckett.

Searcy, Dec. 2O.-I1is body mangled beyond recognition and identified only by a pocket knife
 and scraps of clothing. Lee Puokett, farmer, aged 31, was killed Sunday
 and his body cut to pieces by a Missouri Pacific train. Indications are that the man was murdered and his body placed on the track to hide the crime. At the coroner's inquest in Searcy yesterday after noon verdict was returned that Puckett met his death at the hands of some unknown person, but w.
 B. Brown, neighbor, has been arrested and is held in the White county jail pending further in- vestigation. .a
 Several witnesses at the inquest said that the two men had had trouble at various times for several years and that Brown had threat ened to kill Pickett, on several oc- casions. It was testified that Puck cit had said that he was afraid of Brown and that on the night before his death he had told another neigh bor that he was going to Browns house and that he knew that they would have trouble and added ',and if we do it will be either ma or him."
 The men lived about two miles south Of Searcy between here and Higginson on the Missouri Pacific railroad. Puckett, 1t is said. left his home Saturday afternoon going to Browns home and from there to the home of man named Stew ard. Brown is the dead mans step father-in-law. It is alleged Puck ett was drinking and that he told Steward that Brown was drinking. too, and hadf tried to& get him to come on to Stewards, Steward said Puckett was not drunk, however. Puckett came to Stewards about midnight and left at 4:2O Sunday morning going in the direction of Browns home.
 Singing Ceases Suddenly.
 When he left Steward said he was singing. Steward and his wife listened, but befoi Puckett got out of hearing he suddenly stopped sing ing and 1t seemed they heard aAoth- CT queer noise different from the singing. Steward said he believed Puckctt was about half way tol Browns house when his singing suddenly ceased His body. cut into bits, was found Sunday about noon The pieces were scattered along the track and there was no blood Tracks were found, but no sign of a struggle near the railroad. What seemed to he a dent that might have been made by bullet was noticed on one of the rails at the point where the first pieces of the body were found, Mrs. Brown, wife of the arrested man, testified that her husband and Puckett had no trouble on his visit Saturday night and that her husband did not leave the house after Puckett left and that Puckett did not come back, though he said he would return for his gun, which he left there. Brown will make no statement except to say that he and Puckett were on good terms. T. C., Broadway, special agent for the Missouri Pacific railroad. is in Searcy investigating the case.

MR. LOWDEN
 JOINS THE BIG
 COTTON POOL
Illinois Ex-Governor Signs Co-Operative Marketing Contract Imperative" He Says.

Little Rock, Dec. 2O.--Frank o. Lowden, former governor, Amer
 icas foremost farmer" Joined the Arkansas Farm Bureau Cotton Crow ers' Cooperative Association Sun day IIe signed a contract pledging himself to market all the cotton grown on his 22,0OO-acre Lincaln county plantation and his 10000 acre Mississippi county plantation through the association.
 Since he is not eligible for mem- bership in the Arkansas Farm Bu- reau because he is not a resident of the state, Mir. Lowden said he want ed his plantation to be enrolled in the farm bureau and instructed his manager, J. A. Goodwin, to join the bureau.
 MT. Lowden signed a contract to market 1,50O bales through the as- sociation. This was the amount of cotton that he raised on his two plantations last year. However, of ficials of the cotton association were jubilant over securing his signature because of the great moral effect that they believe it will have on cotton growers who have been hesi- tating about joining the associa- tion.
 When man of MT. Lowdsns success and demonstrated ability after carefully studying the objects of the association signs its contract and declares 1t to be the only sal vation of the producer, there can be no reason for any cotton farmer to hesitate longer" said Hugh T. Brown. commodity director of the Arkansas Farm Bureau Federation
 Workers Visit Plantation.
 The contract was signed at MT. magnificent home on his plantation at South Bend. Lincoln county. It was signed In the pres cnce of Mr.. Brown. J. R. Alexander and Conoway Scott, all of Scott. Pu- laski county and of Walliam Nichol and Leo Andrews of Pine Bluff. All five have been leading workers of the cotton association.
 MT. Lowden stopped in Little Rock on his way to Lincoln county last week to meet the leaders of tho cotton association. At that time he endorsed tho objects of the but said that he wanted to consult his plantation manager before signing contract and he ir- vited the associations workers to come to his plantation to dfscusb the matter further. When theepArty arrived at the ex-governor's planta- ton. they found him ready to sign.
 Movement Is Imperative.
 ''The cooperative marketing is absolutely imperative MT. Lowden told visitors. "It is the only salvation of the producer. Every ether line of industry has It's and the farmer cannot hope to succeed without an organi- zation. As conditions now arc, the producer has. absolutely no voice Tn deciding what price he shall re- ceive for his product"
 MT. Lowden said that he is . of cooperative dairying association in Illinois and he said that it's operation has been very suc- cessful. He said that also he had been impressed by witnessing the successful operation of cooperative associations in California and in Denmark and Holland.
 As to the farm bureau, he de- clared it to be the best farmers or ganization ever attempted and said that every farmer should back it up to the limit of his ability.

Seven Years of
Bad Luck" at the

The long felt need of a roaring
comedy with a top-notch, comedian,
has been satisfied. Seven Years
Bad Luck" the new Robertson-
Cole superspecial with Max, Lnder,
which will open at the Spencer
Square for a run of three days, is
what you have wanted for many
moons. Critics who have seen this
picture agree that it is the clean
est big comedy ever filmed. There
are none of the slap-stick, pie
throwing stunts used to bring out
the laughs. There is an honest-to-
goodness story running through the
picture which gives one ridiculous
situation after another.
Seven Years Bad Luck" runs the
gamut of things which go to make
fun. There are any number of ex-
terror and interior settings of a
high grade through which the story
weaves its way. In some respects
it is lesson to the Over-supersti-
tious. The fact that seven years of
ill fortune is heralded by the break
ing of a mirror, is burlesqued in a
clever manner. As the picture pro-
crosses it will be seen that all sorts
of agencies were pressed into ser
vice to make the picture pleasing
to the eye as we'll as the funny
bone. Palatial homes, country es-
tates, railroad trains and even
zoo-all these and more too as the
