EMPIRE

Optimism of the Fairbanks brand is the keynote of the story of Say, Young Fellow" the latest Aircraft photoplay in which Douglas Fair banks will be seen at the Empire theatre today and tomorrow Aside from it's novelty, the theme of this splendid picture Is of the quality that cheers and inYigorates ones jaded spirit as wine cheers the parched wayfarer under yerticIe sun on the arid desert.
 Anyone who has met a newspaper reporter such as is portrayed by MT Fairbanks in this picture, doubtless will have an entirely new conception of the genus reportoriaI. This young fellow" is smiling chap, gritty, re- sourceful, staunch optimist, an ath- lete of the first class, and chap who refuses to give way to discourage ment because things don't go just as he expected they would, By example he breaches the message that auitters are a pest and deserving of all that comes to them. In this respect, at least, Say, Young Fellow" is of highly educational value to the young men of the day,
 When this young reporter gets off on the wrong track and his mission to expose a fraudulent scheme in a small factory town is threatened with failure, ''the giri' appears and, pres to! comes the change, with conse- quent success. How the reporter wins his struggle at great odds and emerges triumphant from the mess in which he is involved, forms a delectable se- ries of incidents which, enlivened as they are by MT. Fairbanks irresist- ible and provoking athletic stunts, will charm every spectator as by a magic spell.
 MT Fairbanks is splendidly SUD- ported in this picture by such screer players as Marjorie Daw, Frank Cam peau, Edythe Chapman, James Neil and others. The photoplay was writ ten and directed by Joseph Henaberry

POLES

The most unique as well as the most wonderful of all recent vaudeville productions based upon actual condi- tions in the foreign trenches comes to Polls theatre today. Six men of the Allied armies, clever in song and in the military phase of fighting, will with the aid of electric lighting ef fects, cannot and the various para phernalia of the field, give an abso lute demonstration of what trench life means. It has been well staged through the efforts of master stage craftsmen, and each of the six sol diers is fully capable of entertain ment of the better sort well as versa tile in the manual of arms, the trench lingo and other necessary educational adjuncts of war. Audiences are to be offered an exclusive and real treat at the Poli theatre.
 As an especial and added attrac- tion Olga Petrova, is to appear in the super-photoplay "The Life Mask" Miss Petrova is by far the most dra- matic of all modern screen stars ard her work in this new and different piece will be appreciated by all lov- CTS of the artistic in film eclat.
 On the vaudeville stage Harry Cooper, comedy singing monologist will bring some gems of wit and vo- cality. Johnny Regay and the Lor- raine Sisters, will offer a. whirIwind exhibition of dancing with some song interspersed. The Cliff Bailey Duo, comedy knockabout team will display rare and comic art. Francis and Elden, 8 versatile vocal pair, bring the latest from Broadway.
 Additional interest will center in ''The Eagles Eye' which this week through the courtesy of William ]. Flynn, former head of the United States Secret Service. will show how the Germans had U-Boat bases in America and how they were broken up by government activities.
 Hearst-Pathe News, fresh from the Western front, will show the habitat of American soldiers, scenes during actions, and also review of the lead ing American events of the past fort Night.

Much Nutrition in Barley.

Although barley has been used chief ly for brewing and malting, it is known to be highly nutritious. Its food value ranks practically the same as that of wheat. The pearl barleys in soups and in cereal form are widely used, but the barley meal should be better known. It can be readily ground at home in hand mills. And, anywhere that whole wheat flour or cornmeal can be used, with one exception, bar ley meal will be found a perfectly sat isfactory substitute.

Dyes From Lichen.

The use of Iichens as sources of dye is of long standing. The famous blue and purple dyes of the East, so ire ,quently mentioned in history, were In all probability extracted from the Roc celia lichen, which has in recent times been extensively used in France for the gorgeous coloration of silks. Lichen dyes are secured by pulverizing the plant body, termed the thallus, and ap- plying alkali to extract the coloring matter. One lichen dye, litmus, finds wide application in the science of chemistry.

Which Is Real "Judas-Tree? 2"

Why the name "Judas-tree" for a wholly respectable and worthy tree? The supposition has been that the cercis or red bud was the tree upon which Judas hanged himself and for that reason a few representative people will not plant it. But all the older writers on trees of the Bible claim the elder was the one used by the guilty wretch. The Spaniards call the ceris "the tree of love-"

CEDEON C0sSEL|N
THOUGHT DROWNED
IN THE kENNEBEC
Late Sunday Night
Supposed to H a Y e
Been Carried Over
Dam Boat w it'll
Dinner Pail in It
Found M o n d a y
Morning-No Trace
of Mans Body

Gedeon Gosselin. aged about 43
years, married and the father Of six
children, is missing from his home on
Mill street, and fears are entertained
that he lost his life by drowning in
the Kennebec river. Mr.. Gosselin
has been employed at the Cushnoc
paper mill and had been engaged on
Sunday on some repair work at the
mill. He did not finish work until
Sunday evening and at about 1880
o'clock that night he took his skiff
and started to cross the Kennebec
river above the dam on his way
home, rather than to walk the much
longer distance around by the way of
the bridge. So far as has been
learned, that was the last that was
seen of him. The skiff with the
mans dinner pail in it was found
Monday morning in the boom of the
Augusta Lumber Co.. below the Ken
nebec bridge and one the east side
of the river.
On learning that Mr.. Gosselin had
not reached home Sunday night,
search was begun Monday morning
by men connected with the Cushnoc
Paper Co, and also by the police,
which resulted in the finding of the
skiff mentioned above. Joseph
Nickless. the submarine diver en-
ployed by the Cushnoc Paper Co..
| while he did not make a descent in
his diving armor, searched the water
of the river above the dam for some
distance. but without results, and
men with boats and grapnels
searched both above and below the
| dam, the search being carried for
ward until the middle of the after
noon. going down river as far as the
Augusta Lumber Co.'s mill. The
work in the vicinity Of the dam was
carried on under some difficulty ow-
ing to the big rocks just below the
surface and also the strong current
which is now running in the river
The search was continued until about
$40 in the afternoon, when 1t was
given up for the day.
From the fact that the skin had
not been capsiaed in going over the
| DAM 1t is the belief that Mr.. Gosselin
did not go over the dam with the
boat, but jumped when he found that
the boat was going over and was
| drowned above the dam. 1t is
thought possible that he may have
been swept over the dam as he left
the boat and that the body may be
lodged among the big rocks on the
bottom Of the river in that vicinity
The search will be resumed today
and will probably be carried on above
the dam, as it is the belief Of many
that the man was drowned in. that
section Of the river rather than below
the dam.
