Fancy Clover EACER FOR BULLETINS WAR IS THE ONE TOPIC OF CON- VERSATION IN THE CITY. Not Since Opening Days of Great Struggle Have People in Such Large Numbers Flocked Around Bulletin Boards--Many Inquiries From Outside Points. The war is the one topic of con- versation in Kingston. In the of- fice, workshop, store and on the street--all other topics of conversa- tiop have been set aside, the one thing occupying the attention of all being the titanic struggle. Not since the opening days of the war early in lAugust, 1914, have the people in such large numbers flock- ed around the bulletin hoards. Every day this week the Whig bulletin {board has been besieged with a | crowd anxious to read every line | that is presented of the '"'doings" at the front, where, with sweat and blood, the British army fis wrestling heroically with heavy odds. The bulletins have been read and re-read. No matter how often people pass the bulletin board they stop to read and no matter if they have read the despatches before they go all over them again. Their mind is key- ed on the one subject, and therefore they are content to read and read again. ! Not sincé\the war broke out have the telephones in the Whig office Been kept so busy answering in- quiries about the situation on the western front. Editors and report- ers have given what information they could and it has been eagerly sought. generously of their time by sending along your subseription to-day. The Christian Endeavor Union of Kingston is presenting a gramaphone to the Home for the Aged on Thurs- day evening, Now is the time to-- have your plano tuned.

ACTIVE SOARCITY OF AVAILABLE SMALL HOUSES STILL BEING FELT. | Will Not be Quite as Many Move- | ments on May 1st--Many People | Are Buying Homes. { In speaking of the real estate | situation in the qjity one agent said: | "Phere will be a uber of move- ments this year, but a scarcity of houses wil prevent many people changing their residence who would very much like to." Before the war this city had a boom and then there was a season of depression.' Since then, however, there has been a season of steady growth In values, with few people buying or selling on speculation, but several investing their increased earnings in homes. On May 1st there will not be as many movements as there have been in past years because of the scarcity of houses, particularly those of low- er rents. There are several big houses in the eity which have not been taken up yet, but eventually these will be filled by citizens who have prospered with "the splendid trade since the war. At first the war caused" many people to take smaller houses to save the difference in rental. Now with a higher cost of Hving there will be the same rea- son for them not going imto bigger homes again. dn some cases, how- ever, they dre ensuring future pros- perity by buying homes for them- wave of depression after the war they will have the adyantage of be- ng home owners. % The zeal estatp agents as a rule are not by any means pessimistic over the prospects for business, and many claim increased receipts as the pro- mise for this yedr. * Da A a Lesg We The Y./MIC.A. subdcription cam: paign is on this week; every citizen should assist this worthy institution in its gteat work for the soldiers and the boys in our city. 1 We will rent you a plano, and at of six months if you feel like selves so that in case of another) ument we will al- hae instr e ao _remtal on pur- price, range easy terms balance.
