NEWSY LETTER FROM EGYPT.
First Hand Information of Conditions
in that Far Off Country.
People living in the United States
cannot imagine the conditions as they
exist in both the Near East and Far
East countries. The following letter,
sent to Mrs. James K. Barnhart, is
from her cousin, a young woman en-
gaged in mission work in Egypt, and
it details so vividly the conditions ex-
isting there as to make it of interest
to every American citizen.

Alexandria, December 31, 1921.
This is the last day of the year.
One year ago today I sailed out of
the New York harbor. A short year
it has been and yet a great many
things have taken place. Egypt seems
to be no nearer a solution of her
problems than she was a year ago. It
it’s my opinion that she will never be
settled as she wishes to be. Do you
ask why? Because no country is fit
for independence under a Moslem gov-
ernment and can never have independ-
ence. A Moslem government is not
able to give independence even to the
followers of Mohammed because the
teachings of the False Prophet are
contrary to independence. Conditions
are pretty tense just now and we are
living from day to day not knowing
just what will happen. Cairo has had
something like we had here in Alex-
andria last May, but this city has been
rather quiet; at least on the surface.
Some lamp posts have been broken
and a little rioting in certain sections
but nothing to speak of. The pres-
ence of four armored cars in the
streets has a very quieting effect on
those who are inclined to make trou-
ble. A few days ago a youngster
threw a stone at one of the cars and
the officer in charge stopped the car
and got down to settle the matter. The
kid was frightened almost out of his
skin. Some men sitting at a cafe
plead for him and the officer said,
“you punish him.” So they, the men,
proceeded to give the culprit a good
beating. It will be some time before
that same kid stones another car. But
with all the striking of students and
the closing of most of the schools un-
til further notice, our schools here in
Alexandria have gone on as if nothing
was happening. We closed only yes-
terday for the mid-winter holiday of
two weeks. (You see the Eastern
Christmas comes on the 7th of Janu-
ary and New Year's one week later,
and so it is better for us to have the
holiday that is observed by our stu-
dents). The Mission schools in other
parts of the country have had to close
before the set time because of the un-
settled conditions, as the boys and
girls are much more fanatical in Up-
per Egypt. Our students in Alexan-
dria are toned down by the European
element.
I do not know what news you are
getting regarding the situation here,
but it is very likely to be rather one-
sided and inaccurate. The negotia-
tions in London progressed very satis-
factorily and the Egyptian people
were given nearly everything for
which they had asked. The only ques-
tion unsettled was the Sudan, which I
know they never expected to get, and
the location of the small army to be
kept here for the safety of the canal
and the European population. But
these points would have been settled
had not something happened to com-
pel the stern measures that have been
adopted by the British government. I
was told, and on good authority, that
it was brought about by papers fall-
ing into the hands of the British gov-
ernment that exposed a private agree-
ment and the French government. By
this agreement, the positions now held
by the British were to be filled by
Frenchmen, who had already been se-
lected and were just waiting for the
posts to be vacated. In a short time
this country would have been in the
hands of the Turks and conditions
here would be something like they are
now in Cilicia and Armenia, and those
countries which the French have giv-
en over to the Turks. Just when the
world thought that Turkey was crip-
pled and that this part of the world
would know no more massacres, Tur-
key bobs up like a rubber ball and
threatens to be more powerful than
ever. I wish you could all listen to a
lady from Aintab, Turkey, with whom
I talked today. She had to escape in
1915, when Turkey entered the great
war, but returned just as soon as she
could get back. She had to escape
another time and this time she
brought with her 950 orphans. She
had charge of an orphanage of 250
children, but she brought the inmates
of two other institutions with her.
When she left her own building there
was not a window left in it. She and
‘business do not want the British to
her children were given shelter in an
American hospital and for hours while
there they had to lie flat on the floor
while the bullets flew thick and fast.
She lay with her head on the body of
a small girl for six hours. When they
were fleeing they were bombed and
the older children carrying the small-
er ones ran and walked for forty min-
utes to get out of the range of the
bombs and bullets. The refugees had
gotten out of the lorries in which they
were traveling to have something to
eat. The French soldiers who were
acting as their escort had to mount
cannon and drive back the blood thirs-
ty Turks. And now the French have
walked out and given over to the
Turks all of these people. They are
fleeing by the thousands, giving up
everything they have, trying to find a
haven of safety. Three ship loads
came into our harbor but were not
permitted to land. And why? The
answer is easy. This is a Moslem
country. Cyprus has taken in the
poor people and Syria was made to
open her doors by influence. Syria, of
course, is French. Surely, the Lord
will punish France for what she has
done!
When I sat down to write I did not
have in mind to write a political dis- |
course, but once I began I thought |
you might like to know the true state
of affairs over here. Newspaper facts |
are not always facts. I understand
that there is an Egyptian delegation
in Washington, or there was last
spring, working to influence the Unit-
ed States in favor of Egyptian inde-
pendence. But the study of conditions
here across 6000 miles of water, and
the study of conditions from living in
the country is vastly different. Egypt
is not fit for independence until they
have confidence in one another, and
there can be no confidence under a
Moslem government. All of the fra-
ternizing between the Copt and the
Moslem is on the surface, and they
know it themselves. In Alexandria,
about two years ago, a bank backed
by Egyptians was opened. Did the
Egyptians take their money out of
the European banks? Never! And
the Egyptian bank is a failure. A
Moslem himself told me all about this
and he told me just what I have
written. I knew this but it was the
first time I had a Moslem to say so.
He is a Turk also. The Egyptians in
leave. And why? Because there will
be no confidence among business men
and they know too well the result.
New Year’s Day.—My clock says
fifteen minutes after one, which with
you is 6:15 in the morning. I am
sure you are not up; yet I have been
to church and have had my dinner.
The day is quite warm and balmy, but
the sky is very cloudy and I fancy we
are in for more rain. The rains be-
gan very early this year, and Decem-
ber was a very wet month. It re-
mains to be seen if we shall have the
usual wet January, February. and
March. I hardly think so for we gen-
eally have not more than two months
of wet weather. So far we have had
only two days of real cold.

Beware of the Flim-Flammer.
“Beware of the flim-flam artist,”
is the urgent message to Centre coun-
ty farmers issued by county agent J.
N. Robinson. He points out that in
comparatively recent times many
Pennsylvania farmers have been the
victims of unscrupulous swindlers
selling anything from State College
bulletin subscriptions to stock in what
would prove later to be a mythical or
mismanaged business enterprise.
When a stranger approaches you
with a brilliant-hued proposition that
you have heard nothing about, make
sure of his credentials. Before any
transactions are made on any ques-
tionable deals, he urges that all peo-
ple approached get in touch with the
county Farm Bureau office in Belle-
fonte and receive such information as
they may have available. It is report-
ed that a promoter was active in
Pennsylvania not long ago, pushing a
questionable agricultural development
proposition. He disappeared after
making a clean-up on bogus stock.
State College agricultural bulletins
are issued free to all who ask for
them, yet at a recent time it was re-
ported that a man was collecting mon-
ey for subscriptions for these bulle-
tins. There may have been many such
instances, but if farmers and others
will take the trouble to consult the
county agent or Farm Bureau officials
before “speculation in unknown deals,
they will probably be able to save
themselves material losses.

Farmer’s Meeting at Spring Mills.
Prof. A. A. Borland, head of the
dairy husbandry department of State
College, will talk to Centre county
farmers at the Spring Mills vocation-
al school Wednesday evening, March
1st. Dairying is probably the leading
single enterprise on Centre county
farms, especially in the section near
Spring Mills. Farmers should make
a special effort to attend this meet-
ing, for Mr. Borland will have some
very good suggestions which, if fol-
lowed, will mean more efficient milk
production, and that means a greater
financial return to the dairymen.
Every farmer has a lot of questions
about dairying that he would like to
have discussed. This is the time and
place to discuss the questions. This
will be the third of the series of farm
meetings to be held at Spring Mills
and the fourth meeting will be held on
March 8th. Speaker and subject will
be announced later.
——The regular term of February
court will be held next week. A fair-
sized criminal list will be for trial and
enough civil cases to occupy the at-
tention of the court most of the week.
MEYER.—Mrs. Sarah Meyer, wid-
ow of the late Philip H. Meyer, died
at her home at Centre Hall at two
o'clock on Saturday afternoon as the
result of a fractured skull sustained
in a fall on Friday evening. She left
home on Friday evening to walk to
Grange hall to attend an entertain-
ment. On the way she slipped and
fell, striking her head on the pave-
ment. Frank Bradford assisted her to
her feet and with help she continued
her way to the hall, purchased her
own ticket and went in, but had been
there only a short time when she be-
came quite ill and lapsed into uncon-
sciousness. She was taken home and
a physician summoned. He found her
suffering with a fractured skull.
Everything possible was done but she
passed away at the hour above stated
without again regaining conscious-
ness.
Mrs. Meyer was a daughter of Elias
and Rachael Fetterolf and was born
at Spring Mills on July 10th, 1854,
making her age 67 years, 7 months
and 9 days. She was married to Mr.
Meyer in 1880 and after a brief resi-
dence at Linden Hall, Mr. Meyer’s old
home, they moved to Boalsburg where
they lived until the spring of 1898,
after Mr. Meyer was elected County
Commissioner, when they moved to
Bellefonte. They spent six years here
then moved to Centre Hall and that
had been her home ever since. Mrs.
Meyer was a member of the Lutheran
church and was not only a good, chris-
tian woman but one whose many
womanly virtues and kindness of
heart won her a host of friends.
Mr. Meyer passed away in Novem-
ber, 1917, but surviving her are two
children, Mrs. W. A. Odenkirk, of
Centre Hall, and Robert Meyer, of
Altoona. She also leaves one brother
and three sisters, namely: Robert
Fetterolf, of Selinsgrove; Mrs. George
Crawford, of Mercer; Mrs. Joseph
Bitner and Mrs. Charles A. Krape, of
Spring Mills.
Funeral services were held in the
Lutheran church at Centre Hall at ten
o’clock on Wednesday morning by her
pastor, Rev. M. C. Drumm, after
which burial was made in the Centre
Hall cemetery.
Il li
LOUCK.—David Louck, one of the
best known residents of the western
section of the county, died at his home
on Pugh street, State College, at two
o’clock on Sunday afternoon. He had
been a sufferer with leakage of the
heart for almost a year but had been
able to be up and around until recent-
ly.
He was a son of Peter and ‘Jane
Krumrine Louck and was born at Pine
Hall sixty-three years ago. His early
life was spent on his father’s farm
but when he grew to manhood he
learned the carpenter’s trade, a voca-
tion he followed all his life, and many
buildings in that section of the county
stand as monuments to his skill. About
forty years ago he married Miss
Catherine Shoemaker who survives
with no children. He leaves, how-
ever, two brothers and one sister,
namely: William Louck, of DuBois;
A. F. of Struble, and Mrs. W. O.
Daugherty, of Tyrone. He was a
member of the Methodist church for
many years and was a reliable, sub-
stantial citizen.
Funeral services were held at his
late home at 1:30 o’clock on Tuesday
afternoon by Rev. Mr. Peters, after
which burial was made in the Pine
Hall cemetery.
H Il
BECK.—William Henry Beck, ‘a
well known farmer of Walker town-
ship, died at hic home near Snyder-
town at 4:30 o'clock on Wednesday
evening. He was in his customary
health up until Tuesday evening
when he suffered a stroke of apoplexy,
lingering in a semi-conscious condi-
tion until his death on Wednesday
afternoon.
He was a son of Henry and Hannah
Furst Beck and was born at Snyder-
town on September 7th, 1857, making
his age 64 years, 5 months and 15
days. Practically his entire life was
spent on a farm in the vicinity of his
birth. He was a life-long member of
the Lutheran church and a splendid
citizen. He was twice married, his
first wife being Miss Elvira Morris,
of Ohio. After her death he married
Miss Clara Singer, of Romolo, who
survives with two children, Margaret
and William, both at home. He also
leaves one brother, M. L. Beck, of
Howard.
Funeral services will be held at his
late home at 2:30 o’clock tomorrow
afternoon by his pastor, Rev. W. J.
Shultz, of the Lutheran church, after
which burial will be made in the Sny-
dertown cemetery.
il Il
SQUIRES.—Adam Squires, who for
the past twenty years had made his
home with O. P. Nason and family,
at Julian, dropped dead of heart dis-
ease on Tuesday evening of last week.
He was a native of Elmira, N. Y., and
was 72 years, 1 month and 18 days
old. When a young man he came to
Centre county and located at Philips-
burg where for many years he follow-
ed lumbering and sawmill work. He
never married but is survived by one
brother and two sisters, David
Squires, of Philipsburg; Mrs. John
Bollinger, of Tyrone, and Mrs. Harry
Whitefield, of Wilkinsburg. The re-
mains were taken to Philipsburg
where burial was made on Friday
afternoon.
Ii
il
DRY.—Amos J. Dry died at his
home at Tyrone Forges last Friday
night after an illness of some weeks
with a complication of diseases, aged
64 years and 5 months. In 1877 he
married Miss Katherine Rine, of Belle-
fonte, who died one year ago, but sur-
viving him are several children. Bur-
ial was made in Eastlawn cemetery,
Tyrone, on Monday afternoon.
Zimmerman passed :away at his home
at Pleasant Gap at 8:50 o’clock last
Wednesday evening following a lin-
gering illness with sarcoma of the
stomach. In fact his illness dated
back to September, 1921, but he had
been confined to bed only about ten
days previous to his death.
He was a son of Elias and Eve Pon-
tius Zimmerman and was born in Mar-
ion township on November 8th, 1844,
making his age 77 years, 3 months
and 7 days. His early life was simi-
lar to that of all boys born on the
farm, his winters were spent going to
school and his summers assisting with
the farm work. Hence when he grew
to manhood he stuck to the farm and
for many years was considered among
the best and most progressive farmers
of Benner township. That was his
home until his farm was purchased
by the State as a portion of the site
for the new western penitentiary. Mr.
Zimmerman was a staunch Republican
all his life, being one of his party’s
standbys in his home precinct, and as
areward for his services he was giv-
en the nomination for County Com-
missioner in 1908 and was elected for
a term of three years. He was re-
elected in 1911 for a four year term
and at the expiration of his official
life took up his residence at Pleasant
Gap. He was a member of the Luth-
eran church of Pleasant Gap for many
years.
On Christmas day, 1879, he married
Miss Jennie Martin who survives with
the following children: Oscar M., of
Bellefonte; Roy F., of near Nigh
Bank; Eva I., Marion S. and Harold,
at home. He also leaves one sister
and a brother, Mrs. Mary E. Biddle,
of Lewisburg, and Isaiah Zimmerman,
of Valley Falls, Kan.
Funeral services were held at his
late home at 2:30 o’clock on Satur-
day afternoon by Rev. W. J. Wagner,
of the Lutheran church, after which
burial was made in the Pleasant Gap
cemetery.

SWARTZ.—Mrs. Phoebe Swartz,
widow of the late A. J. Swartz, passed
away on Sunday evening at the home
of her daughter, Mrs. Robert Kline,
on east Bishop street, as the result of
a stroke of paralysis sustained about
four weeks ago.
Her maiden name was Phoebe Stru-
ble and she was born at Zion on
March 6th, 1842, hence was almost
eighty years of age. Her husband
passed away about twelve years ago
but surviving her are one son and
three daughters, Elmer E. Swartz, of
Pleasant Gap; Mrs. Robert Kline, of
Bellefonte; Mrs. Elmer Johnson, of
Altoona. and Mrs. C. M. Musser, of
State College. She also leaves one
brother, Watson Struble, of State Col-
lege. Funeral services were held at
the Kline home at 2:30 o’clock on
Wednesday afternoon, after which the
remains were taken to Pleasant Gap
for burial in the Lutheran cemetery.
ll I
St. CLAIR.—Word was received in
Bellefonte this week by Mrs. J. K.
Barnhart of the death of her great
aunt, Mrs. Sara St. Clair, of Indiana,
widow of Dr. St.Clair, a one time
prominent physician of western Penn-
sylvania. Mrs. St.Clair, who was
eighty-five years of age, was on her
way to visit a member of the family,
and unknowingly stepped in front of
a moving train, which killed her in-
stantly. She was a woman of great
mentality and well known in D. A. R.
circles.
! LL
WHITING.—Word was received in
Bellefonte this week of the sudden
death at Beaver last Friday of Mrs.
H. F. Whiting, as the result of an at-
tack of diphtheria. The Whiting fam-
ily spent a number of years in Belle-
fonte prior to moving to Beaver, dur-
ing which time Mr. Whiting was con-
nected with the Bellefonte schools,
and friends of Mrs. Whiting will nat-
urally regret to learn of her death.
The body was taken to Carlisle where
burial was made on Saturday.
BIRTHS.
Mr. and Mrs. Gail Chaney, of Pitts-
burgh, are receiving congratulations
on the birth of a son, who was born
Monday, February 20th. Mrs. Cha-
ney, who is better known here as Miss
Mary Schad, left Bellefonte over two
years ago with Mr. Chaney to make
their home in Pittsburgh; Mrs. Cha-
ney’s mother, Dr. Edith Schad, join-
ing them there less than a year ago.
A son, who has been named Donald
Dunlap Raymond, was born to Mr.
and Mrs. Harry Raymond, of Rey-
nolds avenue, in the Bellefonte hospi-
tal, Friday, February 17th.
——When the “Watchman” went to
press yesterday evening every ar-
rangement had been completed for the
big turkey banquet, at the Bush house
last night, of the Associated Business
Men of Bellefonte. Reservations had
been made for one hundred and six-
ty plates and it is highly probable
that all were taken. While it is im-
possible to forecast all the happen-
ings of a banquet of this character it
is at least safe to say that every man
present thoroughly enjoyed it. The
principal speaker was Mr. George
Foss, secretary of the State Cham-
ber of Commerce, while toasts were
responded to by a number of Belle-
fonte’s business men.

Fordson Tractor Exhibit Attracted
Large Crowd.
That Fordson tractors are growing
in favor with the farmers was evi-
denced on Monday by the crowd which
came to Bellefonte to witness the mo-
tion picture of the making of Ford
trucks and Fordson tractors, as shown
at the Scenic under the auspices of
the Beatty Motor company. The pic-
ture was especially interesting to all
who saw it. After viewing the film
the audience was invited to the Beat-
ty Motor company show rooms on
High street where a delicious lunch-
eon was served. Of course there was
the usual number of after dinner
speakers, all of whom praised the
products of the Ford factory in gen-
eral and showered bouquets on the
Beatty Motor company in particular.
When it comes to pushing the pro-
duct of the Ford factory Mr. Charles
F. Beatty and his capable assistants
evolve various novel and original
schemes, one of which is this annual
luncheon. Mr. Beatty believes im-
plicitly in the Ford products, which
have been proven the world over, and
this accounts for his enthusiasm and
success in making sales.
On Wednesday just one hun-
dred and sixty-three young men and
women, mostly women, worked on the
day shift at the Bellefonte silk mill.
The day shift, of course, is larger than
the night shift but the two together
gives employment to over' two hun-
dred people and the new unit of the
plant is not yet fully equipped with
machinery. When it is the force of
operatives will probably exceed three
hundred. The labor question was the
principal one considered when the Ea-
gle company first offered to locate a
thriving mill in this place. With the
Pennsylvania Match company and S.
D. Ray’s shirt factory in operation
there was some doubt as to the pos-
sibility of the company securing the
necessary help. But the mill has now
been in operation one year, has been
enlarged to double its original capac-
ity, and has securred all the labor
needed without interfering with any
of the older industries in Bellefonte.
The largest per cent. of the operatives
at the silk mill come in from the sur-
rounding country, so that the labor
situation in Bellefonte was affected
very little, outside of giving employ-
ment to the young men and women
who could not get work elsewhere.
——Representative Cannon, of Illi-
nois, has made up his mind to re-
tire from public life after nearly half
a century of service in Congress. He
might have quit sooner without ser-
ious impairment of public interests.
Hunter—Jett.—B. Graham . Hunter,
son of Mr. and Mrs. Robert F. Hunter,
of Bellefonte, and Miss Ellen Jett, of
Roanoke, Va., were quietly married
at Roanoke on Tuesday evening. The
young people had been engaged for
almost two years and their marriage
at this time was quickly planned when
Mr. Hunter made a trip to Roanoke
to see his affianced. Following the
. wedding Mr. and Mrs. Hunter spent a
day in Washington, D. C., and Wed-
nesday evening passed through Wil-
liamsport on their way to Bingham-
ton, N. Y., where Mr. Hunter is now
‘located. Mr. and Mrs. Robert F.
Hunter, with their two daughters,
! Martha and Henrietta, and Mrs.
i Frank Warfield, motored to Williams-
i port and spent a few minutes with the
i bride and groom while their train lay
i at the station in that place.
The bride is a niece of Mrs. Mary
Payne, of Bellefonte and Roanoke, and
has visited in Bellefonte on several
occasions. The bridegroom is the on-
ly son of Mr. and Mrs. Hunter and is
a graduate of State College class of
1916. He served during the world
war and is now located at Bingham-
ton, N. Y.,, as representative of the
Safe Cabinet company, of Marietta,
Ohio.
Se eR
Austin—Moerschbacher.—George L.
Austin, of Blanchard, and Miss Ber-
tha P. Moerschbacher, a daughter of
Mrs. Charles Moerschbacher, of Belle-
fonte, were quietly married at the
Catholic church at ten o’clock on Mon-
day morning, by the pastor, Rev.
Father Downes. The young couple
were attended by the bride’s sister,
Miss Celia Moerschbacher, and Gid-
eon Payne. The young couple went fo
the home of the bridegroom’s parents,
Mr. and Mrs. W. H. Austin, at Blanch-
ard, where a reception and supper was
given them on Tuesday evening. Mr.

Causes for Poor Hatches.
About ninety per cent. of the causes
of poor hatches this spring will be due
to the breeding stock. Good chicks
can be hatched only from eggs pro-
duced by hens properly mated and
kept under the best possible condi-
tions to secure health and vigor, say
specialists at The Pennsylvania State
College school of agriculture. When
the eggs fail to hatch, see if the
breeding stock is kept under condi-
tions which tend to produce strong,
fertile germs in the eggs; if the eggs
have been handled properly before in-
cubation; and if the conditions were
right during incubation, as judged by
the time of hatch.
