England Loses Good
Will of Egyptians
Alexandria, Egypt., Feb. 20.?England
appears entirely to have lost the
good will of the Egyptians, both inlividually
and eolleetively, as a re-u!t
of the failure f the Anglo-Egyptian
negotiations for a treaty and the
tefusal of the British government to
withdraw* troops from this tcountry.
Egypt is again quiet after the failure
of the revolution in December
; nd tourists may now conic and go
without fear of danger, but Egypt is
not in normal condition. Marshal
law is enforced and many newspapers.
including the leading English
daily, the Egyptian Gazette, have
been suspended for the publication of
criticisms of the policy of the British
go voi nnient.
The Egyptians are resentful over
what they characterize as "offensive
language" of the memorandum sent
by General Allenby, the British High
Commissioner, to the Sultan notifying
him that Egypt was a link in the
British Empire and that her troops
ruuhi not bo withdrawn.
Egyptians are indignant also over
the arrest and banishment of Znghloul
Pasha and other Nationalist
leaders and exceedingly angry oyer
the deaths inflicted during the Christmas
revolution.
fn order to prevent Zaghloul's followers
from using that indispensible
weapon of modern revolutions, money,
Ix>rd Allenby has issued a military
decree directing that no bank in
Egypt shall pay out any funds belonging
to Zaghloul Pasha, or to the
Nationalist party, of which he is
president, without the permission of
the High Commissioner.
There are about 17.000 people in
Ireland who understand only Irish.

Ford's Nitrate Plant Offer
: (Editorial from New York Herald.
February 1, 1922).

! Muscle Shoals does not look like a
1 good business proposition the gov!
ernment. It carries no assurance of
j benefit to the American farmer, thb
j feature of it being the reason congress
I and the administration have shown so
| much interest in the Ford sch< me.
There is nothing in the proposal aI
it is laid before congress to show that ;
! Ford hinds himself either to produce,
I fertilizer nitrates cheaply for the
j farm* r. or even to produce any fertilizer
nitrates at all. The government
is asked to pour fifty millions more
into the war plant, getting back a very
low interest rate on the new money it
j uts in. But when the only thing
j that could possibly justify further exj
j enditure would he the assurmce of
I ample fertilizer material for o ir agrij
culture at a lower cost no guaranty
whatever is gi\en of any such ihing.
j As a matter of fact, the oomnior

ernment to do with the Muscle Shoals

on it. As a war emergency expedient.
begun to get explosives which
had to be obtained at whatever cost,
it was a necessary measure. If the
war had continued the government
might have had to spend hundreds of
millions of dollars more on Muscle
Shoals and the money under such cir(umstanccs
would have been rightly
spent. But, the war over and no further
government use for the pmnt existing.
the government's course as a
sound business organization is to get
out, get out quickly and at the minimum
of cost.

Farmers Urged to vc
Support Movement lu
w
York, Feb. 18.?"If the farmers of
South Carolina do not enthusiastically
I z
support the movement now on foot to
organize and to put in successful operation
the South Carolina Cotton
tc
Growers' Cooperative Marketing Association,
they need never start an- ^
other farmers' movement because it
will be a failure," says J. II. B. Jen- 'U
kins, Jr., vice president of the Peo- ,n
pies Bank and Trust Co. of York in '
a letter to W. B. Wilkerson, director
tor western section of York county al
in the cooperative marketing cam- "
paign. U
Mr. Jenkins' letter was in reply to w
one from Mr. Wilkerson asking the s<
attitude of his bank towards the
movement. Mr. Wilkerson wrote that
the banks in many counties of tinstate
were taking the initiali\e in the
movement and asked If Mr. Jenkins' 81
bank would favor it.
"In our opinion the proposed coop- S1
erative marketing movement," continueed
Mr. Jenkins "is the only move- ^
ment that has ever been started by
the farmers that has ever had 'teeth' a
to it. A cooperative association with '
the proper andenthusiastic support
under honest and capable manage- '
ment, organized in South Carolina and 1
in the other cotton states will do
more to bring about and regulate or- *
derly marketing of cotton at a fair '
profit than anything else that can be!*1
done. Therefore, the Peoples Bank & I
Trust Company strongly recommends h
the organization of properly managed
Cooperative Marketing Association s
and we unhesitatingly offer our facil- ?
ities to this end.
"We have quite a number cf farm- Iers
among our stockholders. We num- I
ber hundreds of farmers as patrons,
and wp nre and will bo just as willing,! h
if not more so, to assist financially
farmers who are members of the ns- C
sociation as those who are not. The .c
fact that the government through the s
yreat War Fnance Corporation and I?
the large financial institutions in the'o
money centers have endorsed coopera-: c
tive marketing associations and have!
expressed a willingness to extend, and;
are already extending, fina?icial assist-'
ance in large amounts is in itself;
evidence of the soundness of the prop- j t
osition. It is a great pity that the J
farmers of South Carolina have not v
long before now organized such an as- q
sociation. They would now be enjoy- ^
Ing the great benefits that are being t
c-noyed through associations already c
organized in Texas, Oklahoma and
Mississippi. j,
"The farmer who docs not join in fj
this movement is not only standing in j,
his own light but is retarding the future
development of the South." p

mdeavor to Cope
With Smuggling
Copenhagen, Feb. 20.?Norway unrtook
a short time ago to extend
r territorial waters to ten miles
nstead of three miles) in an enavor
to cope with the organized
id ever increasing smuggling of
irits into the country.
The extension meant that all ships
nturing inside the territorial wars
were subject to search by Noreginn
customs otlicers empowered
contiscate any cargo of spirits and
uler certain circumstances, authored
to seize the ship.
Both Denmark nnd Sweden have
otested against the Norwegian exnsion
of her territorial waters, and
irtain other powers have notified the
orwegian government that they will
>t tolerate any search of ships flyig
their flags and engaged in bona
tie trade.
These protests have resulted in an
mendment to the new Norwegian
iw on territorial waters to the ef;et
that only ships anchoring withi
the ten mile limit are subject to
;arch.

Haven For Wild Fowl
Newbern, N. C., Feb. 18.?A tag
bearing a number of verses from the
Scriptures and the name of James
Miner, Kingsville, Ontario, found tied
to the leg of a wild duck killed recently
by Clyde Keener of Trenton,
Jones county, near here, has brought
to light the existence of a haven for
wild fowl on the north shore of Lake
Erie to which the feathered tribes
flock in huge numbers. Keener wrote
Miner advising him of the finding of
the tag.
The latter in an answering letter
stated that wild ducks and geese stop
at his farm during the course of their
migratory journeys and that he and
the girds are the best of friends. He
said ho had built a pond for the feathered
tourists and that he feeds them
GOO bushels of corn each year during
their two months stay at his place.
Mr. Miner's letter, in part, follows:
"Thank you for having reported
finding the tag. I now have tags returned
to me off wild geese and ducks
from North Carolina to Hudson Bay.
In several instances the tags have
been found by Indians in the Far
North after shooting the girds and
they have taken them to Hudson Bay
agents, who forwarded them to me.
"I have had tags returned from 23
different states and piovinees, the
farthest south being Guydan, Louisiana,
and the farthest West being En-:
glefield, Saskatchewan.
"I try to tag all the birds that
spend some time at my place. Forty
per cent of those that I tag in the
fall return to me the following spring.
Others stay here all the time, in spite
of the fact that the weather grows
very cold. As I am writing you there
are about 75 wild geese and 40 wild
ducks .feeding within 50 feet of me.
They are keeping a small hole open in
the pond and they are depending on
me for food.
"It took me several years to get the
birds coming. At Inst, however, a
small bunch came and they apparently
told others, until their little flock
grew Into a small cloud. In fact, I
have seen the wild geese rise up so
thick that you could scarcely see
through them, and their honking could
be heard over a mile away.
"During the last six or seven years
I have fed them in the months of
March and April 500 bushels of corn.
When the birds stop off here they
seem to leave all fear behind them.
Even strong birds, visiting my place
for the first time, let me come within
a few feet of them. They evidently
have been told by the old timers that
there no danger.
"It is a great sight to see all these
birds together. People for miles
around have heard of what I am doing
and thousands have come to see the
tight. Even these strangers can come
within forty or fifty feet of the wild
birds without causing them anv fright.
Not a single bird ever has been shot
on my premises and the feathered
tourists seem to know that when they
stop off here they are on neutral
ground.
"Of course this is not so with regard
to the surrounding territory, over
which I have no jurisdiction. I have
seen men shoot and wound a duck or
a goose and I have seen the bird
make a desperate effort to reach my
place. Sometimes they succeed and
permit me to doctor them. At other
times they fall to the ground before
they can reach the safety zone.
"I am opposed to deliberate slaughter
of ducks and geese just for the
sake of shooting them. We've got to
be careful and call a halt to this destruction,
for unless we are careful it
won't be many years before geese and
ducks are hard to find are hard to
find. I am trying my best to give
the birds what protection I can. My
system of togging them is part of this
plan. I have received letters from
many hunters who have written me
that they uphold me in my work.
"There is always fascination in overcoming
prejudice and dislike. Wild
birds, of course, consider all men to
be their natural enemies. It has been
mighty hard for me to convince them
that I am their friend. However, that
conviction now seems to be spreading
among them rapidly. Hundreds of new
birds come here every year. I can always
tell when a stronge bird arrives.
It seems very shy. Not so with the
old timer, however. He comes snilinor
is as fast as he can. honking a welcome
and proceeds to stuff himself
on corn.
"I have one mallard duck, which
was hatched and raised by a domestic
fowl in 1012. She has now migrated
and returned to me each spring and
has raised four families in five summers?two
eights and two nines.
"My friend, to see my pets return
to me year after year for food and
protection after they have evidently
shied around and outwitted thousands
of hunters who hid in ambush for
thorn, and to see wild geese come home
bleeding and with legs broken, makes
me feel that my work is realiy worth
while."
