have already reached the stock yards
and the experiments have begun.
The experiments contemplate not
only the conservation Of shipping space,
but also the problem Of having the
packages small enough to be handled
by the class Of labor available at un-
loading ports overseas and the quick and
convenient issue at supply depots in
France.
They range from the mere cutting OF

estimated that II the plans prove prac-

cent. of the room now used in trans

be made possible. Since fresh beef con-
stitutes a considerable part OF some
Bj00O0,OO0 pounds Of beef and pork
products now sent monthly 10 Allied
countries, the saving by the new meth

and two sisters, Mrs. Geneva ingalls, and
Miss Eleanor Fogg. Mrs. Roberts was
member of the M. E. Church of Madison,
as is also Mr.. Roberts.
We revel in the spring and summer glow,
Rejoicing in the autumn S lavished good;
And tremble in the grasp of ice and snow,
Yet would not change the winter if we
could.
We see the loved ones Join the Silent
Train,
Altho the parting ne'er be understood,
With yearning hearts we long for them
in vain,
Yet, would not change Gods purpose
if we could.

"Come Through" Friday.

George Bronson Towards mightiest
melodrama "Come Through" with Her.
bert Rawlinson and brilliant cast is the
interesting attraction for Friday. Jimmie,
"The Possum," was the best burglar in
Boston, but Jimmie had big heart, as
Velma Gay found out. She was in a
terrible predicament.
Jimmie knew where there was a per-
fectly good S1O,0 pearl necklace, which
was destined for wedding present. But
there were whole lot of things about
that wedding present that Jimmie did
not know. He did not know Velma; he
did not know that she was marrying
cowboy millionaire; that daughter loved
another; that they two exchanged letters
in knot hole of an old apple tree; that
a parson with book and a ring waited
in house which he, Jimmie, intended to
enter; that the "other man" was expect
ed by both the girl and the millionaire at
ten o'clock that night This last ignor-
ance was terribly important to Jimmie,
for he had chosen this precise moment
to enter the French window into the back
parlor.
''Hands up" said voice. Jimmie was
ordered to marry a strange girl and-well
you want to be sure to see this absorbing
drama, Friday.

Clara Kimball Young, Monday

"Shirley Kaye" with Clara himball
Young in the title role. which will be
shown at the Colonial Theatre next Mon
day, is tense story of American life,
relieved by several high-class comedy
scenes and threaded with a genuine love
interest that appeals to all. Edgerton
Kaye, hereditary president of the great
Union Central R. R. is about to lose con-
troll before the combined forces of the
rough but lion hearted Western financier,
T. j. Magen ably portrayed by George
Fawcett and his young associate John
Rowson (played by CorIiss Giles, Miss
Young's new leading NAM. How Shirley
rises from the mere pleasure speaking
life of the Long Island set, absorbs finan-
cial knowledge, utilities ''T. J.'s" love
for his young daughter, Daisy, whose
heart is set on entering ''society" where
Shirley reigns supreme, and finally puts
Daisy in the swim,-how she wins her
way into the kindly affection of the
Western magnate, and gains the love of
Rowson-all these developments give
Miss Young a remarkable opportunity
for the display of tense emotion, mingled
with polite comedy touches and absorb
ing love passages.

ROBERT c. BIcNNBLL.

Robert Crockett Bicknell, whose death
of pneumonia Dec. 18th brought sorrow
to wide and varied circles throughout the
community, was one Of our city's younger
group of business men who appeared des-
tined for a strikingly prosperous career. !
He graduated from the High school in
1908, engaging directly in the employ of
his father, with whom he was admitted
to partnership three years later under the
style of C. E. Bicknell & Son. "Rob"
was worker from the beginning. AS
boy his odd hours and vacations found
him in contact with his fathers business,
into which he grew with close intimacy
and knowledge of it's many and often be-
wildering details, comprehending widely
diverse interests on land and sea. His
manner was gentle and reserved, but he
had way all his own of making good
with those with whom he came in con-
tact, SO that everybody in a manner of
speaking was his friend aud laboring men
served him with special zeal and efficiency.
He was faithful to every call and the
business in hand found his devotion at
all hours of day or night Mr.. Bicknell
was born in 1889, son of Charles E. and
ALBANIA (Wilson) Bicknell. He married
Oct. 80, 1911 Miss Frances Bartlett,
who after married life of happiness
and mutual devotion, survives him, to-
gether with a four-year- old son, Charles
E. Bicknell, End, the other survivors be-
ing the parents, sister Alfreda-Mrs
Blanchard B. Smith-and sister Esley-
Mrs. Norman B. Read of Belfast. The
severing of ties that were very close is
accompanied by weight of sorrow that
evokes widespread sympathy, especially
toward the father. who more and more
each year had come to value the strength
of his sons cooperation and support in
their extensive business. Mr.. Bicknell
had served in both branches of the city
government, representing Ward 8 as its
alderman in 1914 and 1915 and serving
upon important committees. He was a
member of the board of directors of the
North National Bank, who with the bank
staff attended the funeral in body. The
funeral Sunday afternoon at the home, 81
North Main street, was marked by a very
large attendance and profuson of floral
tributes, Rev. Pliny A. Allen of the Uni
versalist church officiated, the interment
being in Achorn cemetery. The bearers
were Ensign Edward R. Veazie U. 5. N
