CHARLOTTE WALKER

Charlotte Walker. who makes her film debut in "Kindling" which was shown at the Majestic last night has an extraordinary and profoundly emotional role for her screen debut. Her character is that of Maggie Shultz, a tenement dweler in the Big City" who is about to become mother but who is in dread of bringing child into her world of poverty and degradation. The events of the drama show the hys;erical ef- forts this woman makes to apply in dividual justice regardless of the law. the manner in which she is entrapped by a detective. the fine way in which her husband stands by her in her hour of need, and the ultimate happy solution of the problem through a rich girl who understands.

MESA POULTRY SHOW WILL START TODAY Prospects Are Big for Best Show Held Here for
 Some Time

II is likely that the continued
 rainy weather has cut down the quan- tity of poultry which otherwise might have been placed on exhibition at the
 show that will be opened to the
 public today Such is not the case however as to the variety or quality of the offerings. There k a greater variety of fowls than were seen at
 the show one year ago and the quality shows up as first class in every respect. The managers of the
 show are greatly pleased with what
 they have to offer the public in the way of thoroughbred poultry. The
 windows of the building are occupied on the one side by his majesty Apache Chief the young Drake be-
 longing to Edgar LeBarron This
 magnificent specimen of fowl has
 been declared champion wherever eX-
 hibited and now stands as the cham
 pion of North America. The other
 window is filled with number of dainty white fan tailed pigeons, the property of w. W. Carney. General

CHICAGO, Jan. l9.-Huge sales had weakening effect today on the wheat market here. Prices closed heavy at Is to I 3-S cents net decline with May 130 1-4 and July l25 5-S. Corn finished 3-S to 1-2m l-2 cents down, oats off l Is to 3-S and provisions showing q set back of 10M12 l-2 to g 1-2 cents.
 Offerings of wheat assumed im- mense proportions after the market at the opening had touched new nigh price record for the 1915 crop.
 Assertions that the tightening of the blockade of neutral ports would complicate the difficulties of exporters had a good deal to do with cmpha- sizing bearish sentiment.
 Corn was easy on account of the setback in wheat.
 Oats relaxed with other cereals.
 Packers sold provisions. The un- loading weighed down the market notwithstanding a material upturn in the value of hogs.
