THE ROMANCE OF WORDS
"MlSS NANCY"

ITO STATE that a person is
a Miss Nancy" Is now
equivalent to declaring
that, If man. he is effeminate
or, if a woman, that she is prud-
ish and affected-a custom which
had its origin in the person OF
Mrs. Anna Oldfield, celebrated
actress, who died in 1870 and
who was buried in Westminster
Abbey.
Mrs. Oldfield, known to all her
associates as Miss Nancy" was
extremely vain about her dress
and the appearance of her hands
and hair. AS her body lay in
state. attended by two noblemen,
she was attired according to her
last wishes in "a very fine Brus-
sels-lace head-dress, a Holland
shift with a tucker and double
ruffies of the same lace and
pair of new kid gloves" The
actress wishes in the matter of
the clothing of her corpse pro-
voked considerable comment at
the time, particularly as an Act
of Parliament had decreed that,
in order to encourage the man.
ufacture of wooden cloth, the
dead should be buried i'm wooden
shrOuds. But her instructions
were followed TO the letter and
Pope, in his MORAL Essays" re-
ferred to the matter in the fol-
lowing lines:
"'Odious! In wooden? 'Twoud a
saint provoke"
Were the last words that poor
Narcissa spoke"

Truck Ma
Ava and Arrive n Fresh ondt

prepared by the United States Department
OF Agriculture.)
a steadily increasing number Of
shippers are looking toward the mo-
tortruck for the solution of their trans
portation problems. Farmers are in
cluded in this category. and il may
therefore be well to point out, as the
result of actual experience of others,
the things they should consider in con-
nectiOn with the use of mOtOrtrucks
TO haul their produce to market.
In very few instances, say experts
~ the bureau of markets, United
States Department Of Agriculture, is
II advisable for q farmer to purchase
and operate a mOtOrtruck solely for
his own needs, as the initial invest
ment, cost of upkeep, and the limited
time the truck is likely to be in use
make the venture expensive and dis
prOpOrtiOnate to the convenience Sc
cured
Where trucks are operated by pri-
vate individuals for profit the owner
OF the truck usually operates between
certain points on fixed schedule. The
farmer assumes no risk. He simply
pays whatever the rate for carriage
may be, and may find the use of this
means of transportation an advantage
over the railroad or over hauling his
produce to market himself by team.
AT the same time ii has often occurred
that when the farmer had learned to
depend upon this service, the rates
would be raised to point that the
farmer could i'll afford to pay, or that
another mOtOrtruck operator would en-
ter the field with the result that both
operators were compelled to go out of
business. leaving the farmer without
any truck service at all.
One Successful Venture.
1t may be well to consider the basis
upon which a farmer may secure mo-
tortruck transportation at nominal |
cost and create a service upon which |
he can place full reliance.
There are several cooperative mo-
tOrtruck associations i'm existence. of |
which, perhaps, the Farmers CO-Opera-
tive company of Hartford county,
Maryland, has had the largest measure
of success. The territory served by
the association is very productive
agricultural region. Many of the farm
ers ship milk to Baltimore, some raise
truck crops and others practice gen.
eral farming.
The association rates on many COM
are decidedly lower than
those Of the railroad. The members
say that the saving of time i'm market
ing their produce is a big advantage,
also. For example, when the farmers
hauled their produce to market by
wagon they had to start out at mid
night and did not return home until
nine o'clock the next morning. Now.
1t least eight hours of that time is
saved for other work.
But while the Hartford County COM
,any has had considerable success, II
not been possible had the
not been favorable for the
operation of a cooperative motortruck
quite. This fact should not be lost

OLDTIMER RETURNS NORTH
 TO REVIEW FORMER DAYS

Howard H. Hart, a pioneer of Ju- neau, of 1886, who worked at the Treadwell mine when work was first started there, and who shared a cabin in Juneau with Tom and Oscar Ashby in the early days, returned to the capital city recently, ac- companied by his wife, daughter and two sons, for a look over the scenes of former and leaner days. Mir. Hart is one of the lucky ones who wrested fortune from Eldora- do creek, in the Dawson country after years of fruitless search for wealth in the Forty-mile and other early-day Interior camps.
 Since leaving the North, the old timer has increased his fortune by lucky speculation in oil, and now has a fine home in Berkeley. It is said that his income is now placed al a round thousand dollars a day.

HAS TURKEY FOR PRESIDENT;
 TRIES TO INSURE THE BIRD

The New York Life Insurance Go. recently received request from a a man in Mississippi for life in- surance policy for prize gobbler intended for President Harding's Thanksgiving dinner. T am raising a fine turkey gobbler," says the Presidents admirer in his letter to the company, which is past two years old for President Harding's first Thanksgiving dinner in the White House and, of course, value the bird very highly. Every care is being taken to preserve the health and good nature of the first turkey Of Mississippi to hold that honor.
 T have several policies in your company and was wondering if I could take out policy on the gob- bier for about $500. Your agent here has no information on this subject so I thought I would write to head quarters"

DAIRY HERDS OF TERRITORY
 WILL BE INSPECTED SOON

An inspection of Alaska dairy herds will be made this year, accord ing to statement made recently at Juneau by R. J. Sommers, acting governor of the territory. It will be carried out by Dr. Trubey, veterin- ary surgeon of the States Relations Service, Department of Agriculture, who has his headquarters at Portland
 Dr. Trubey, it is stated, is making his arrangements to leave for the North at an early date. He will visit Ketchikan first, and make an in spection of the herds there, and then go direct to Juneau, for a confer ence with the governor. Until after this conference is held, his future plans will not be definitely known.
 The inspection is being made pri- marily to guard against tubercular stock. A similar inspection was made in 1919 by Dr. B. C. Parker, which resulted in many dairy cows being condemned and killed. Provision for reimbursement of the owners of the slaughtered animals was made by the late territorial legislature, which also provided for continuation of in- spection of dairy animals.

WHAT ABOUT INCORPORATION? :?

The question of continuing the operation of light, water and tele- phone plants under the favorable ar rangement suggested by Engineer in Charge Fred'k D. Browne, is so closely associated with the question of incorporation that it is hardly possible to consider the one without the other. If the town is to continue to have lights, water and telephones it also must have a municipal organ ization, such as is provided for by the laws of the territory. If there are not to be lights, water and tele- phones for the convenience and pro- tection of the town, after the first of August, it will matter little what action is taken with regard to the question of incorporation. for in that ENBHL we VIII DS as "Oll VII without incorporation as with it.
 That is the situation as The News sees it, and it is our belief that no time should be lost in getting the in- corporation under way, for it is practically assured that our public utilities will continue to function.
 Ii does not follow necessarily that incorporation will burden property owners with excessive taxes. There is a limit fixed by law, beyond which municipalities may not gor and there is reason to believe taxes in Nenana will be lower, in case of incorpation, will be lower than in any other incorporated town in the territory, and with more to show in the way of improvements, than most towns of more mature year: have.
 Should it be decided to incorpor- ate, the town will start its municipal career without debt and without re. strictions beyond those of territorial origon governing all incorporate towns. We will be free to make oul own laws and have power to ad- minister our affairs without inter ference from any source, and will even derive some revenue from territorial funds
 There are other arguments in favor of incorporation and none against it if we consider the ques- tion along with that of light, water and telephone service, and the gen. eral welfare of the town.

The application for insurance was turned down by the company and the following letter of explanation sent to President Harding, together with copy of the letter from the applicant: "When the letter of which the attached is copy, came to this office, had the papers passed upon by our medical department. They rated it as extra hazardous, because the subject is overweight, and sta- tistics show that the whole group will be dead inside of five months. We, therefore, found it impossible to make a rate"
 Replying to the letter from the insurance company, President Hard ing wrote: Thank you for passing on to me the correspondence in the matter of Mr Mason's turkey gob- bier. With some misgiving about dis cussing so technical a subject with an expert, incline to disagree with your decision. This bobbler may be overweight, but he is also decidedly oversize; circumstance which ac- cording to the actuarial data of this group indicates an impressive ten acity of life. My advices are that , the gobbler that gets past the , Thanksgiving Christmas deadline ac- quires thereby automatically a new lease of life, the statistics indicat- ing that he is pretty certain to com plete a second cycle with wishbone and drumsticks intact and general health unimpaired. While mortality is nOtoriously high among immature turkeys, their record of longevity, once they have passed the critical periods, is calculated to make even us office-holders envious.
 Further, am unable to give I official approval to your ruling that an overweight gobbler is a danger ous risk. The aim of gobbler's ex- istence is to attain overweight. IL should be the ambition of your company to encourage, not discour- age, his efforts at corpulence. Why do gobblers abstain from golf, or
 from taking courses at Muldoon's? Why are they encouraged to lose their waist lines early and never i recover them? Manifestly, the stand ardized relationship between height and weight, which is properly pre- scribed for gobs, doesn't apply to
 gobblers. I trust that on the con- sideration of these suggestions, you
 will find reasons for reversing your
 ruling.
 ''As it appears to be Mir. Mason's purpose 10 make me the beneficiary
 of this turkey, I assume that l am the appropriate beneficiary of his
 insurance. Kindly have policy mailed direct to me, and oblige,
