Phone 26 KINGSTON IN HELPING WELL IN | GREATER PRODUCTION. | Success Attends the Efforts of the Citizens--Potatogs May be Cheap as the Result. The Greater Production Move- ment, which was inaugurated early in the spring through the zeal of some of Kingston's prominent men in an effort to combat the high cost of living, has brought -forth fruit. One has only to go through the dif- ferent sections of the city to see the plots of formerly vacant land cover- ed with all kinds of garden truck. The back lawns of a great maiy of the homes in the city have been con- verted into gardens, and the econo- mical and patriotic citizen is over- joyed to see the tiny plants grow ing with the vegetables becoming larger and larger. The new experi- ence of gardening to many men has proved itself a wonderful health builder, and to the business man who has been engaged in mental labor all day has proved to be a wonderful relaxation. Hundreds of plots are situated in various parts of the city. Queen's University 'has set ~ aside several acres which are being culfivated with zeal by the professors, their wives and children. A number of citizens are obtaining fine results at the General Hospital and vari- ous societies have under cultivation some fine vegetables. It is to be expected that a number of the gardens have not attained the desired results, but this has been laggely due to inexperience, and better prospects are in view for next year. The '"'grubs™ and birds have eaten much, and various remedies have been prescribed to combat their ravages. However, in the ma- jor ty of cases the gardeners will receive abundant results fom their venture. Frightened by the high cost of potatoes, a great quantity of these have been planted, and both in and out of the city it is reported that there will this year be an excellent crop One local police constable | predicted that potatoes during the | summer wuld be selling for seven- | ty-five cents a bag. Although this may be a somewhat low estimate there is no doubt but tXit the ab- undance of the supply will lessen the demand. thereby causing a de- cline in the price of not only pota- toes, but also of other vegetable lines. People are generally waiting for Hon. W. J. Hanna, the newly-ap- pointed food controller, to make some move against the cold storage houses and the speculators who would rather shovel out pyMntoes by the roadside than lower the prices a cent. The movements of the food controller are being eagerly watch- | Steamer Jex Rushed ta Her Assis- ed. and it is to be hoped that he will réliewe the situatiom. Nevtrtheless, there is many a housewife in the city this year who will be independent for her provi- siofis of vegetables, and when she | wants to make a potato salad or have vegetables for lunch, all she will have to do will be to run to the back lawn and pull the tubers from, the ground. The war has brought. to each Rousehold the realization that this is the time to save and serve, and that the waste of the smallest morsel of foodstuffs is a crime. Twenty million mem are consuming instead of producing, and it is the duty of the people who are attempting to fill their places to save all material until the world is once tore nfov- ing in the right groove and the un- happy war is brought to an end. CANADIAN AVIATOR CREATES A RECORD | Wins Victoria Cross, Distin- guished Service Order and Military Cross. Although only nineteen years old and a young Canadian aviator, Cap- tain W. A. Bishop, Owen Sound, has created a record in the way of decor- ations for bravery and gallanttry at the front. Word has been received at Ottawa that he has won the Vie- toria Cross. Previous to the award- ing of this great honor he had been decorated with the Distinguished Service Order and the Military Cross. He is eadd to be the only man alive to have won these three decorations. Up to June 10th the woung aviator had brought down twenty-one Ger- man} airplanes, two balloons, and had been in fifty-seven combats. He has been congratulated by Sir Doug- las Haig, and Premier Sir A Robert Borden has recently written a con- gratulatory letter to his father W. A. Bishop, registrar of Grey County. A letters from France gives the official account of the deed which re- sulted in Captain Bishop beirg re- commended for the Victoria Cross. White Canvas Shoes * Fashion Says: "Wear white canvas show?

AN APPEAL FOR BOYS Who Have Need Now of Furlough in Canada. Plans are under way to petition the Minister of Militia to arrange for furloughs to the Canadian boys who have spent the past | three years in the trenches. Mrs. W. H. Gim- blett, 179 Queen street, is moving in the matter. She asks all who are interested , 'to bestir themselves and help us to attain this privilege for our boys, which every man, woman and child in Canada knows they have dearly earned." In view of what has happened it is felt the remnant of that brave body who have made, and-are still making, history for our grand Do- minion should be given at least three months furlough away from the sights and sounds of war to en- joy a much-needed rest-in their own Something Different dl g pum mniiine White Canvas, Rubber Soled, Dressy Sport Shoes.

Their furloughs were with | comparative strangers; they missed | the home touch, the home associa- tions. To give them this would re- quire three months, and this is the They intend to ask for it. The boys deserve it; the mothers are worthy of it in view Garrett O'Connor, Niagara, Onat., writing on the subject, says: "Have these noble boys done en- or should we demand that they do more for us? I can hear very true-souled man and woman who reads this timely appeal cry: "They have dome, if anything, more than their share; bring the dear ada.' They are, alas! few in mum- ber, for grim war has made awful inroads on our first contingent; so it should not be difficult to relieve them. "A year ago I tried to start a movement for relief, but though I wrote to many papers the matter was not taken up by men and wo- men high in public affairs, so I fail- ed. Now I have sent a similar ap- peal to this to Toronto, Ottawa, Londo®, Montreal and other papers, asking members of parliament, mayors, councils, patriotic societies and other bodies to appeal to the Militia Council to grant our boys the rest they have so grandly earn- od "Can it be that the movement will fail? 1 will never believe if, but I do believe that every true man and woman in Canada wijl make a special effort to assist ij bringing our dear boys home for rgst. Neigh- bors it is a glorio ege to av sist this cause. Give your aid to it now, and never rest until you have accomplished something. It would seem to me that the member of Parliament who helps this worthy cause will be one of the most popu- Jar men in Canada. This is the ap- peal of one who loves and admires our super-herces.
