President Harding has appointed
Irwin Cobb a major in the reserve
army in recognition of his services In
the World war. irwin will function

now add to his long list of stories
that of the Englishman who presented
himself at the leading hotel of Louis

The obliging and smiling clerk, one
of the last of his ilk, placed the reg

Porky Hero Of Zoo.

There is new hero in the grounds
surrounding the small mammal house
in Bronx geological park and all the
small animals are chattering about the
deeds of Porky the porcupine, the
New York Sun relates.
Porky was never thought much of
by the raccoOns opossums and his 9th
er neighbors He would not help en-
tertain visitors. did little beside s'ecp
and wait for the keepers to bring his
food. and recently has been growing
very fat.
1t was this lazy attitude, perhaps,
that impelled a stray poodle dog that
eluded the watchful gate keepers and
made his way into the park to try to
arouse some signs of life in the indo-
lent Porky.
He succeeded. At the first bark he
discovered that the inanimate looking
ball was very much alive and by the
time Porky finished shooting his quilts
it was too late for the poodle to do
anything but cry pteously for help.
Several keepers rushed oUt to see
what had happened. but by that time
the poodle was making tracks for the
Buffalo range and Boston road en-
trance, and probably never stopped till
he landed in the arms of his mistress,
who surely had a job pulling out the
darts and binding up the wounds.
Since this encounter Porky's zoologi-
cap friends have shown considerable
more respect for him.

Unusual Feat of Arms.

The name of the Martha, the river

one of the most unusual feats Of arms
In modern history. In 1885 Bulgaria

self Unexpectedly Mt war with Serbia
and sadly short of ammunition. Most
of the fighting in the three days battle
Of Slivnitza had to be effected by

DAIRY
FACTS
TANK HEATERS ARE FAVORED
When Milk Cows Are Watered Infre-
quently It Is Poor Policy to
- Supply Ice Water.

When cow drinks water, her body
at once sets to work raising 1t, if
necessary, to the same temperature as
exists normally in the body. In order
to warm the water taken in, heat is
just as necessary as it is to warm
kettle of water on the stove.
To provide the heat necessary, the
blood and internal organs give up
portion of their supply until more is
supplied frem food previously con-
sumed. AS the milk COW is heavy
consumer of water, much heat is re-
quired to warm it. Consequently when
cows are allowed to drink water that
is very cold a high percentage Of the
feed eaten is required to heat 1t. If
1t is true that some heat is being
given off from the body all the time
and when the amount of water taken
in at one time is small the loss is I'M
important. But when the cows are
watered only once or twice daily, and
then get near ice water, they are like
ly to suffer injury and more feed is
necessary. Stated briefly, 1t is ques-
tion of balancing good feed and the
cows time digesting 1t, against the
cost Of good tank heater and few
pals Of cobs or coal. The man inter
ested in getting the most out Of his
cows and in their comfort will not
expect them to be their own tanh
heaters.

REAL VALUE OF DAIRY cow
Most Reliable Method Is to Figure
Her Actual Butterfat Produc-
tion by Weight.

The most reliable way of getting at
the real value of dairy COW Is to fig
ure her actual butterfat production.
This can be done by weighing the milk
produced by each COW and by deter
mining the per cent of butterfat
through occasional tests Of the milk
with Babcock tester.

L. $. MAIL IN FIRE
 ALONG ALASKA RAILROAD

Somewhere along the Alaska Rail road the United States mail suffered damage by fire within the last sixty days. Where. when and how is un- known. It is impossible to learn from postal authorities any details regarding this fire.
 Some days ago rumor was cur rent about Nome that such fire had occurred, but upon making enquir- ies at the post office the Nugget was unable to confirm or deny the re- pert. On this last receipt of mail. arriving Thursday afternoon, there is conclusive proof that such fire did occur Numerous Nomeites re- ceived parcel post packages and reg istered mail that in some instances were badly charred. Letters and papers received in the ordinary mail seems to be free fro many evidence of fire and the natural conclusion is that a certain section of some mail car was the scene of an accd- dent. Registered and Parcel Post matter is usually kept apart from paper and letter mail in a Mail Car. being put aside in piles.
 It is possible that car lamp or a car stove set fire to some sacks damaging but a small part of the cars contents. again there is the possibility that an entire car was burned with but small part of the contents saved. Whatever the con ditions are we will shortly learn what happened and the extent of the damage. as the Nugget has wired the Nenana News for particulars and details.

 VICTROLA AT LONiEN'S

Promptly at 4:3O last Sunday af- ternoon Lomen Brothers held their public drawing to determine the winner of the beautiful No. XI Vic trola on exhibition in their Drug Store.
 The coupons were placed in large revolving barrel and spun for fully fifteen minutes by disinter- ested boy. An Eskimo boy was then selected to draw out six numbers. The first five were no count. but the sixth was to be the winning number When the lucky ticket was drawn it was found to be No. 7157. No one present held that number and so ten others were drawn as alternatives. It was an- nounced by the management that the winning number would be held for 30 days and after that time the next number would be the winner.
 o. S. Weaver returned from his pleasure t1o t0 so,'Ton lnn1as. Monday Over eight vasany ~ets had been given Lat by the store., each representing payment of one dollar.
 The drawing was in charge of R. B. Julien and c. J. Woofter. While the drawing was proceeding the crowd in the store was on it's toes full of excitement, eager to hear the announcement of the lucky number. To say that there were disappoint- ments is to indulge in the superfiu- ous. AS there was to be but one winner someone of course was to be fortunate while the rest of us merely also ran."
