MERRY MAKERS REVEL
 IN NOVEL PASTIMES
(From Saturdays Daily.)

Many who attended this week $ meeting of the Monday Club speak in terms of pleasure regarding the oc- casion, which was devoted to novel feature, known as a Stunt Party. The holiday season brought about change of programs, and the festivi- tics proved intercstag as well as enjoyable.
 The requirements of the main fca- turc were that on her arrival at the clubhouse each guest was pleasantly greeted at the door by the reception committee and informed that in order to enter. she must walk on the string on the floor, gazing at her feet thru a pair of opera glasses, and keeping a balance by holding an open parasol above her head. This proved inter. esting, especially for the onlookers, who had previously "gone over the top"
 Following this novel initiatioy the interesting little game called :" "Hearts played progressively at tables, was engaged in. Mrs. Buchlcr proved hef- self the most skillful in the game, played with sugar dice, and was awarded the prize.
 The guests then matched for part ucrs for refreshments, with another stunt quite as novel, called High Cost of Living during which every one was required to write an original limerick, using ccrtais subjects which she and her partner had drawn. The prize in this contest was awarded Mrs Maurice Tribby, who proved herself quite an original poctess, as also did her partner in the game. At- ter the strenuous doingS all refreshed with the dainty little re- past served.
 About forty members and guests of the club were present, and the party was in charge of the following com- mittcc: Mrs. R. T. Bclchcr, chair man: Mcsdamcs R. E. Chambers. Lester Ruffuer, Nhctstine. Hoover, Kent and Mrs. Julia Murphy.

XMAS PACKAGES,
 WERE WELCOME SAYS ABBOTT
FORMER CITY EDITOR OF IOURN L-M 1 N B R EX- PRESSES GRATITUDE TO RED CROSS FOR HOLI- DAY REMEMBRANCE.
(From Sundavs Oai1v)

The Christmas boxes which the Rcd Cross sent to the Yavapai coun- ty boys in the various camps and cantonments, made a decided hit with the boys in khaki according to the letters which continue to pour in up- on the officials of the local chapter. The fact that the folks back hopt hadn't forgotten the boys in the sl r. vice of Uncle Sam made big impfes- sion on the lads, and the letter ot Lieutenant Lyle Abbott, stationed at Camp Travis, Texas, IS typical of the hundreds of congratulatory com munications which have been receiv- cd during the past week or so.
 In addressing Miss Grace Sparkes of the Chamber of Commerce, Lieut.. Abbott says in part;
 ".... it is pretty fine to be r-- minded that in the midst of this popu lous but lonely camp, 1 have friends at home.
 q happen to have been thrown among utter strangers. In this camp of some 5O,000 human beings, there is not one face 1 knew before 1 came here. All these men have their owr. friends. and you should have seen the truck loads of Christmas mail ana parcels we had to handle.
 "The way it looks now, will prob- ably not see Prescott again until get back from the other side-if l do get back. I regretted having to cut the Mile High City from my itin- erary on my recent gallop to Los Angeles land Camp Kearney.
 You may be interested in know ing that among the soldiers of thu. southern cantonment, the sweaters, sox. mittens and helmets such as art made by the good women for the Red Cross are highly prized. For, in spite of the fact thas is southern State, it gets cold. The thermometer IS now registering p The north wind IS very kcen-in fact 1 never felt the cold in Prescott as I feel 1t here. II your organization wants to earn itself a crown of glory, let 1t continue to help the 'doughboys" fend off the wintry blasts with good wooden things outside and good wholesose 1 sweets within. V
 Give my regards to Mir. Anderson and such others of the Chamber ot Commerce and Red Cross as l know. and accept full measure of best wishes for yourself.
 Sincerely yours, LYLE ABBOTT"

Sheriffs OF all establishments in Man
hattan where jazz bands and dancing
men furnish the chief attraction for

Sheriff Knott. is not to be considered
AS an occupation in rounding up idlers.
Special attention, the sheriff an.

Sheriff Knots proclamation to idlers
concludes with this warning:
The possession by any man of mon
ey, property or income sufficient to

The Secretary at the opening of the

statement in which he said in part !:
"Of all the important things to do now
is to win the war. German atrocities
in Belgium were the normal things for
Germany to do, and we're not due to
outbursts of passion or hate or theft
but means virtues to the German when
done under order of, the State. Our
boys over there are fighting the devil
and his work. Spiritual verities are
things for which America stands. She
stands for Righteousness and nothing

of the world"
In another part OF his address the
Secretary said, in speaking of the
fishery question: "The question at is.
sue concerns the whole people of the
north American. continent, from the
shores OF the Arctic to the Mexican

TO EVERY DEALER

April %, 1918
Dear Sir
In 1917 the Matanuska farmers
Saised some 1000 tons of potatoes, of
which seven hundred tons have been
used in Anchorage and vicinity, leav.
ing about five hundred tons unused at
this time. Upon learning that these
would be wasted, unless . market
could be found outside Anchorage
(Which is already supplied), the Fed
eral Food Administrator investigated
the matter, and secured from the
Steamship lines, plying between An.
chorage and the other Alaska ports,
a freight rate that enables the farm
ers to offer these Matanuska (Alaska)
potatoes 1.-THE same price to the deal
ers, that the dealers can lay down
Yakima potatoes at his own port.
The Food Administration is advised
that these potatoes are being graded
at Anchorage by the Anchorage Cham
Der of Commerce and that orders
therefor may be placed with Mr.. Rob-
ert Courtney, Secretary of that organ
ization.
The Alaska dealers engaged in bus.
mess on the Coast are urged to use
the Matanuska potatoes until the 500
ons surplus is exhausted for three
reasons
LIST, that by so doing you will be
saving valuable home food product
which will be wasted and lost to us
if it is not now marketed.
2pd. that by so doing you relieve the
north bound tonnage just that amount;
this is essential because of heavy
north bound freight shipments of.
ecrings for which are greater now
than the Steamship lines are able to
handle
3rd, Potatoes are valuable food
product, and dealers should urge the
consumer to use potatoes in lieu Of
bread as much as possible.
This is an opportunity to help both
our country and our territory and the
Food Administration hopes that you
will do so by buying Matanuska Il. e.
Alaska grown potatoes, while the
supply lasts.
Very truly yours,
ROYAL A. GUNNISON,
Federal Food Administrator for
