AMUSEMENTS What the Press Agents Say About Coming Attractions | ENTERTAINING PICTURE i AT THE CAPITOL TO-DAY "Triumph" Is a Good Production-- The Laing Brothers in Vaudeville. Leatrice Joy and Rod La Rocque, { assisted by an all-star cast, offer a #plendid entertainment in "Triumph" the feature picture showing at the Capitol theatre the last half of this | week. It is a story of the ups and | downs of life. It has no tragedies in it (unless the loss of a beautiful | voice be called one) and it contains a great many funny situations and f incidents. It teaches a lesson without | sending every person away blue. | © King Garnet is rich and young and |'handsome; William Silver is the manager of Garnet's factory; Anna | Land is a forewoman. They all have their ups and.their downs and in the | end they all become related for Sil- ver is found to be Garnet's half | brother and Anna marries Garnet. | From the heights of success to the | depths of failure--that is some dis- | tance. All ghree travel it at differ- ent times in the showing of the pic- | ture but come out on smooth water atthe end. The Laing brothers are extraord- inary and exciting on the xylophone and at times their speed becomes | exasyerating. But they received | thunderous applause for their work, { which calls for skill of the highest | character, The same programme will shown Friday and Saturday. be VIOLA DANA AT THE STRAND.

Watertown, N.Y., May 30.--A suc- | cessful experiment in killing weeds [in Jefferson county, conducted last | | year under farm bureau auspices, is revealed in an article in the current | issue of The American Agricultur- [ ist, received here to-day. The article is written by William I. Roe of this city, former county farm bureau agent, under whose direction and at | whose initiative the experiment was | tried. | Mr. Roe reviews the efforts made | to control obnoxious weeds in mead. ows, grain and garden lands. He tells how "in the old days, when farm help was plentiful and cheap, the mustard was kept from spread- ing on many farms by the original and primitive method of pulling." Finally spraying was tried in an et- fort to curb the menace, but the making of the solution proved labor- fous and spraying equipment was found expensive. This method was discarded. # "Successful use of dust in place of sprays for the control of potato troubles and fruit diseases and in- sects led to the question, why not dust for controlling weeds, too," continues the article, reciting how ior Removal Notice § AFTER MAY 1st a special dust to meet the need was | provided by a chemical company, and in June, last, Mr. Roe set out to ; dust a mustard threatened oat field, while grain and weeds were young. Application of the dust was made a plunger type of blowgun. The ex- will be located at MONTREAL STREET "Phone 2483F. Carter SMITHS SATURDAY'S ..

There is some- thing for every person in the Kiwanis Karnival and something for every Kiwdnian to dp. Every member of the club is working hard to make the affair a success. This evening the regular meeting is being held in the Frontenac Hotel at six o'clock and the reports of the committees will be received aud further plans made. After the lun- cheon there will be a meeting of the lady workers and committees, The club is asking all possible sup- port trom city and invites help from any organization. The object of the Karnival 1s to give Kingstonians a week of music and merriment at small cost and to funds for charity and welfare wrk of the Kiwanis Club.

The displays will include | verware and jewelry, furs, tires, automobiles and house furnishings, sporting goods; | victrolas, toys, electrical fixtures, | confectionery, fruits and many other | lines. | Over forty merchants have arrang- | ed to take space and every man jack of them is enthusiastic over his own | exhibit. Some are planning to change | them daily. Those in the know say it will surpass anything of the kind vet attempted here. The Baby Show is another head- liner for the Karnival, And this baby show is different. The judges are being protected because a certain Kiwanian has arranged to give prizes to all the babies. There will be a splendid first prize for the best baby but all the others will receive prizes also. That is certainly the way to run a show. The judges will be two prominent Kingston doctors whose names are being withheld for the present. We can guess them with- out asking. Babies two years old | and under will be judged. Harry Wilder has been lining #p kis bird house competition and it looks like a big success. The boys of the city--or girls also--are invit- ed to build bird houses and to bring them to the Karnival for exhibit and contest, Entries are to be made with Mr. Wildér at Smith Brothers' Jew- elry on King street. The boys in Toronto, Edmonton and other cen- tres turned out excellent bird houses, Good prizes will be given for 'the best work. The Royal Military College cadets, always so ready to respond to a call for help from some worthy organiza- tion, have consented to be on the | programme some evening during) the Karnival.. They will offer some- | thing entirely new and interesting | and will so design it that it will have | elements of comedy as well as in- | struction and information. The ca- dets are always good.

Farmers in the Regina district re- port that crops are slightly ahead of last year, and in some districts wheat has reached the height of three inches. In the Prince Albert district lack of precipitation has somewhat retarded growth, but rain is forecast. The season's crop prospects in Al- berta are regarded as the most ideal in many years. A steady but gentle downpour of last week-end over a wide area proved very beneficial, In Manitoba the crop is not much" later than in former years, although the lateness of the seeding season materially reduced the acreage sown to wheat. "There is ample time yet for the development of a good crop,. and, notwithstanding unfavorable wea- ther conditions during the early spring, no fear need he entertained concerning the crop," declared Pre- mier John Bracken, Minister of Ag- riculture for Manito®a, following a visit through the Neepawa district. ------------ Seven Sentence Sermons.
