POTATO DAY IS
 NOW ADVOCATED
Fuel Administrator Urges That
 More "SpudS" Be Used

Connecticut's Federal Food Admin istration is advocating a "potato day. each week, saying that the time has come for @ concerted drive on the aIrish potato Last fall the grocery trade joined hands with the Food Ad- ministration to this end, but there Were complications in the crop drought and field frosts which caused a yield of small potatoes and hurried damaged potatoes to market, putting prices below the profit point to grow CTS in some sections, and in other places, coupled with railway conges- eion, putting prices too high for free consumption. Now most of the trou- lies of last years crop seem to be over. There are plenty of potatoes in most markets, with satisfactory SUD-
 plies steadily coming in. We need long. strong pull all together on pota-
 toes-groWer, grocer and consumer all
 doing team work to get good pota-
 toes to market and put them on the peoples tables at reasonable prices.
 A new device for selling has been
 worked out. The retail grocer is ad Nised to look over his weekly sched- ule of deliveries, choose the day when
 nade is slack, make special price on
 potatoes for delivery that day. and fix
 PQtato Day in his community as weekly event. This is an improve ment over potato week and potato month, both of which concentrated too much attention upon this food at one time and led to market disturbances. Che potato day each week makes no abnormal demands upon the farmer or the railroads, and so will not dis turb prices or cause shortages or gluts, and will enable the consumer to use this valuable food article as a balance in diet, and reduce living costs, and conserve wheat and meat for our fighters and the allied nations With organized sales effort behind potatoes handled at decent profits through the entire grocery trade of the country,
 there will be no need for consumers toring the tubers themselves. In some ways this amounts to a form of boarding and disturbs the market. Po- tato Day each week should be a fixed event from now until the 1917 crop s eaten up by next June.

CUPID BLACKS FIVE LOSES.
Newport Naval Reserve Quintet Beaten
 by Crescent A. O., 31 to 22

New York, Jan. 25.-Cupid Black S aggregation of basketball players from the Newport Naval Reserve Training Station met defeat last night at the hands of the Crescent Athletic club five by 31 to 22. This victory gives the New Moon quintet it's thir- teenth of the season out of total of fifteen games played. The Brooklyn players were hard pushed, however, by the Newport sailors, who showed no lack of familiarity with the game, and managed to keep always within a few points of the Crescent team in the score. The first half ended with the New Mooners in the lead by 13 to 1 0.

NO TRIANGULAR RACE
Graduate Manager Moore of Harvard Sees Little Prospects for Eli Tigers and Crimson Crews to Meet.

Cambridge, Mass, Jan. 25.-"The prospects of a Harvard and Yale crew race this spring are very dubious said F'rew w. Moore, graduate man ager of the Harvard Athletic Asso- citation yesterday. "Still, if Yale and Princeton can boat a crew and we have a squad of upper classmen here, there may be a possibility of race with either college, or a triangular contest. My belief is that the chances are three to one against such a row. Interest here in rowing at present is negligible, and unless more enthusi- asm is shown there may be no upper class rowing of any kind.' /
 Harvard expects to arrange it's freshman schedule as usual, winding up the season with a race with Yale 1921. The regular call for candidates will be issued for February II, with Coach Haines in charge and Ed Brown and Jack Manning acting as his associates

[. ". .PEMbERTON IS VICTIM OF
 PNEUMONIA
(From Tuesdays Daily)

tFrOm tuesday Daiiy.D
 Oren ". Pemberton, until recently a resident of Jerome. and connected with the sales department of the Arizona Mine Supply Company. died at his home in Prescott early Sunday morning from the effects of pneu- monia. this disease having developed suddenly following an attack of the Spanish influenza. Mir. Pombcrton had been acutely i'll only two or .hree days, and his passing came as severe shock to his wife and small daughter Mir Pemberton. who was 3l years Of age, removed to Prescott from Jerome with his family about six or seven weeks ago and had talk en ID a residence on Union street. On Tuesday he was seized with a cold and inc following day grippe or influenza developed. Mrs. Pcmber- ion also became afflicted with the in- flucuza during the middle of the weel. and because of the fact that they were unable to procure the ser vices of a trained nurse, Mir Pcmber- ton, despite his weakened condition, was forced to leave his bed many times to care for his wife. thus violat- ing the physicians injunction that he should remain in bed until he was better able to combat the influenza.
 On Friday evening pneumonia de- ~-,I I,.-,rr S..,r-Iax- at,1 Sunday the patient grew worse. the family still being unable to obtain a nurse Sunday night at 10 o'clock, Mir. Pemberton became unconscious and did not again become normal. A nurse had been obtained by this time. but her services had come at an hour too late 10 be of any material as sistancc to the dying man. His death came in very peaceful man ncr at two o'clock Sunday morning.
 Deceased was a native of Missouri. With his wife and little daughter, Dixie Belle. age Q years, he came to California in 1913, where the family continued to reside until lol6 Dur ing that year they removed to Jc- rome. where Mir. Pcmberton assum- ed charge of the branch office of the Arizona Mine Supply Company He was popularly known in inc Jerome district and leaves many friends in that section to mourn his sudden passing.
 At the present time no funeral ar engagements have been made, but it is probable that inc remains will be sent either to Mir. Pcmbcrton's old home at Scdalia, Missouri, or to the home of Mrs Pemherton's s.parents in Ohio. The trip east cannot be made, however. fer at least one week or until such time as the bereavcd widow has recovered sufficiently to endure the long and sorrowful jour ney.
