E | INAEASE OF PRODUCTION POCLTRY COMMITTEE CONDUCT- ING A HOUSE-TO-HOUSE CANVASS In Order to Secure a Census of City Regarding Citizens Who Are Rais- Poultry--Ward Chairman Have Been Appointed, ' The Poultry Committee of the Greater Production Committee is very active under the able chairman- ship- of William Cook.* The mem- bers of the vommittee are doing all they can to promote poultry raising and inereased production in the city. R, L. Claxton is the secretary- treasurer of the association and he is- alto working 'in the interest of the committee, The committee is down to work on a systematic basis. Ward chairmen have been appointed, and they will make a house-to-house canvas of the city, to ascertain how many are en- gaged in poultry raising, to- what extent, and to take up the question of increased production and all the information that will be required. In fact a census is being made of the city in this line. The following ward chairmen have been selected: H. Walsh, 11 St. Catharines street; Mr. Williams, 264 Rideau street: John Fleming, 225 Earl street; W. A. Patterson, 106 Victoria street; E. A. Turner, 138 Nelson street: M. IC. Dunn, 29 Mack street; Charles Anglin, 25 Wellington street. The members of the poultry com- mittée are very anxious to give all the information they can to citizens who are desirious of making a start in the poultry end of the movement for increased production, and which by the way, is one of the most im- portant, Just as soon as the census of the city has been taken, and the infor- mation has been tabulated, the poul- try committee will hold a meeting, and get busy to bring results. % ye Greater Production COircular, J. W. Bradshaw, county clerk, is sending circular letters to the reeves of the county asking for township councils to-take up the Greater Pro- duction Movement and have every public spirited country resident to aid n every way. A paragraph of the letter reads as follows: "Your Township Council to mast and consider, (1)Greater Production of Food stuffs; (2) actual needs of your district in respect' of labor; (3) registration somewhere (prefér- ably. at Government office at King- ston) and record of scale of wages payable to men and boys; (4) to get in touch with school teachers, and find how many boys are available for service; (5) to ask clergymen to in- terest people in matter of such vital importance, for increased produec- tion of all farm and garden products in view of 'world shortage of food stuffs." The Late Rev. Dr. Cobb. 'Rev. Dr. A. J. Cobb, rector of Wellington, Ont., died on Easter Sunday after a painful illness of some nionths' duration Thenlate Dr. Cobb was born in Efglanp<yifty- four years ago ,and was orddineéd in the Diocese of Algoma in 1831. Af- ter fourteen years of service in that diocese he became rector of St. Mask's, Port Hope, in 1905 remoy- ing thence to Lancaster in 1949." In 1912. he became rector of Welling- ton, in the Diocese of Ontario. Dr. Cobb was a man of fine presence and an able speaker as well as a faithful parish priest. He will be greatly missed in Wellington, where he won the confidence and respect of his people. The funeral will take place at Wellington 'on Wednesday, and the Bishop of Kingston, who paid a {special visit to Dr. Cobb last week, will probably officiate. THE STOCK MARKETS.

Billie Burke, the mast popular fem- inine star in America, will appear in the fifteenth chapter of "Gloria's Romance," which is creating so much interest among theatre-goers at the Grand the first half of each week, Other films to be shown are: "Uni. versal Weekly," a one reeler; "Safe 'n the Safe." a comedy in two big reels, and the Pathe News. Feature vauddville will hold the boards. "IL Trovatore." Perhaps a dozen different people ir asked why "Il Trovatore" in spite of the fact that it has been hacked to pleces and butchered year after vear by incompetent companies, remains the world's most popular opera, would result in a dozen different rea- sons, but one thing is certain--not one would dream of disputing the fact that "Il Trovatore" ys: the world's most ' popular opera. The role of Manrico has for a generation been the gol of, aspiring tenors and critics agree that in Joseph F. Shee- han America has produced one of the greatest Manricos in history. It Is his master role. France has given to the world many wonderful ar- tists and in Mlle. Nelli Gardini it presents to America its dramatic soprabe and one of the few great Leonoras of the day. These two artists, Joseph F. Shee- han and Mile. Gardini, supported by a company of artists of international fame, a' specially salected chorus and augmented orchestra, are coming to the Grand Opera House on Thurs- day night, April 12th, in a monster production of "Il Trovatore." Thurston, the Magician. Speaking of Ghosts in a recént in- terview, Thurston, the magician, who will appear at the Grand on Friday and Saturday, April 13th and 14th, with a matinee on Saturday after- noon says, "Like th&'magicians of the past, I, too, donbted the asser- tions of the spirituklists, that spirits Pr ghosts would manifest themselves to mortals, My-knowledge of trfck- ery easily detected the deception of many mediums whom I 'met, But several times during a period of twenty years of investigation T en- countered manifestations I could not explain and finally after meeting Madame Eusupla Paladina, the fam- bus Italian mediwm, I was forced. to admit that she possessed a power that not only manifested itself in movement of solid objects such as chairs and tablesi but under certain conditions there appeared In her presence figures of ghost-like forms. "Since then I have lost wo opportun- ity in earnest investigation of psychie forces and have 1epeatedly heen brought face to face with spirits un- der conditions which admitted no 'op- portunity of deception. "Yes, I be- lieve in ghosts or spirits", * a + At Grifiin's. Last evening a crowded houre wit- nessed the dedi ee at Griffin's. The feature picture "Betty to the Rescue" starring the captivat- ing star Fanny Ward is unlike any other picture in which Miss Ward has appeared. The story is laid In the orange and mining districts of Cal- fornia, where Betty's dying father, who has invested all his money in a mine leaves her in the care of some friends who make her believe she 'is wealthy, until their orange crop is wiped out by a sudden frost. How Betty realizing this takes the man- cidently discovers that her mime 1s worth a fortune, and goes into the arms of the man she loves, is depicted in a thrilling ané delightful original manner. The third episode of "The Secret Kingdom" show exceptionally clever actine and kept the audience thrilled while being shown on the screen. The above picture pro- Eramme is rounded out by one of those verv funay "Frank Daniels Comedies," and we also have a clever vaudeville team who pleased all present by their singing and dancing, This bill will be repeated this even- ing and to-morrow afternoon and evening.

CONNELL MAKING EXAMINATION Superintendent of Dairy - School Investigating Case of Poisoned Cheese. A sensation was sprung at Os- goode, in Carleton County, a few days ago when several of the resi- dents took violently ill as a result, it is thought, of eating poisoned cheese. A student, who left the Kingston Dairy School last week for that place, made an investigation and -has for- warded a sample of the cheese to the city. L. A. Zufelt, superintendent of the school, asked Di. W. T. Conneil to make an examination and analysis, which it is expected will be complet- ed in a few.days. In the meantime the most intense interest has been shown by the Osgoode residents as to the result of the examination. In an interview Mr. Zufelt said that unlike milk, which will in itself create a chemical action and became poisoned, cheese will last indefinite- ly without such a chemical action taking place. The only'way in which the cheese could become poisonous would be by some person doing fit, perhaps deliberately. Exports Tremendous, The exports from Kingston for January, February and March of 1217 total $593,993.48, a big in- crease over the same period of last year, which amounted to $488,586 90, The report indicates the tre- mendous prosperity which has come to this district lately.
