 Down at Chateau ' Thierry

A cablegram was received by T Lee Roberts of South Lee, formerly of this place, stating that his son Ivan J. Roberts, had died in a prison camp hospital in Germany. It was known that Ivan Roberts was shot down during a flight at the battle of Chateau-Thierry, and it was believed that he escaped with his life at the time, although weeks passed and no word was received by his anxious friends. 1t seems he was injured and captured and the end came in a German prison hospital.
 Ivan Roberts was an important member of flying squadron and had received both the American and French crosses for bravery. He was very expert with the war airplanes and did valuable service. Mir Rob- erts was 23. Many expressions of regret are heard from his many friends, and sympathy for his fla ther and sister.
 Lieut.. Roberts was awarded the French war cross for bravery in ac- tion in October of last year. He had been in the service over year ard went to France last March. He was a student at Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Massachusetts Agricultural College.

"Parlor, Bedroom and Bath"

, There is promise of something un- usual in theatrical entertainment in
 -1arlor, Bedroom and Bath", the famous New York farce hit which A. H. Woods will present at the Mahaiwe Theatre, Great Harrington, on Monday, February 3rd, direct from a years run in Chicago and New York, where it proved the most popular comedy of the season. Even with MT. Woods famous instinct for picking farces, the New York press and public were agreed that the noted manager had. outdone himself in selecting "Parlor, Bedroom and Bath" It would be an injustice both to the play and it's patrons to divulge the plot in advance. It is said to be amazingly original and concerns the unexpected "doings" of an estimable married young man who finally decides to live up to his wife's opinion of him as Don Juan and gets more than either he CT she bargained for.

APPEAL TO ". S. $. OWNERS
Chairman War Savings Committee Urges An - Hold War Stamps

TAa Connecticut War Savings Co,c,AIftee thro sh the medium ot it's t,,.--..--.,an, &..a. Richard M. Bis sell. has issued the following appeal to all holders cf war savings stamps, asking that W. s. S.. be held until the date of their matarity in 1923: Traffic in. War Savings Stamps, it appears is becoming rather pro- miscuous. Certain misinformed and misguided persons have offered to take them in exchange for merchant disc, notwithstanding the fact that they are not transferable and\ can be redeemed only by the original owner or by some one to whom they have been given as a gift or reward.
 Holders of War Savings tamps in considerable numbers are de- manding that they be cashed by agents of the United States Treas ury. The volume of these demands is such as to be felt against the vigorous efforts of the National War Savings Committee to dispose ef more and yet more of these certifi- cates.
 Patriotism suggests that every one should hold until they mature the War Savings Stamps he pur- chased to aid the nation at war. These certificates, like Liberty Bonds, are issued also to aid in de- fraying expense of postwar activi- ties.
