ShOestring Saves Life
OF Man Thrown Down
PreCipice by Bandits

BROWNSVILLE, Pa, Sept. 16.
Thrown over q high embank-
ment by highwaymen, when they
failed to find a cent in his pock-
cts in a hold-up, Martin Mstey,
aged fifty, saved his life when
he tied a shoestring tightly above
q wound caused by a fracture OF
the bones OF his leg. which pro-
truded through the flesh.
Matey was on his way from
Brier Hill to Republic when at
tackled by two men, who, after
searching him, picked him UP and
tossed him into the valley below.
In a short time, blood was fiow-
ing freely from the wound in his
leg, and Matey quickly took
shoestring from his pocket and
tied it around his leg.

The members of the State Hignwa!
Commission, Philip J. Deering OF Port
land, William NJ. Aver OF Oakland ana
Frank A. Peabody of Houlton, Thurs
dat sent out 2 communication 10 all the
municipal officers Of the State. rem nd
ing them that the commission is ready
to assist them in any way 1t can IN
working out highway problems.
I'VE are at the beginning Of another
road building and road-maintain;ng sea-
son says the communication OF the
commission.
I'm most places throughout the State
the roads this spring are worse than
for great many years. due almost en-
tirely, we believe. to climatic conditions
which have prevailed during the late
fall and through the winter. We all
realize. moreover. that during the last
two years there has been a serious
shortage of labor, which. together with
high wages has Of necessity curtailed
road work.
Now that labor conditions are easing
a bit we would like to suggest to you
the desirabiiity and necessity OF put
ting all the highways in the State into
as good condition as possible at as
early a date as possible. We shall
never be able to make up for the high
way work which we could not do during
the last two or three seasons. but by
giving careful, consistent attention to
highway problems early this spring va
should find it possible to give the pub
lie better highways than they have had
during tho last two seasons. We are
arranging for patrol service on the
State highways and State aid roads just
as fast as possible and We shall appre.
ciate your hearty cooperation in get
ting these roads in shape 50 that the
patrolmen may care for them EN-.
GENTLY.
"Informatien has come to US that
there have been more tourists in Flori.
da the past winter than ever before
and it is very apparent that there will
be a larger amount Of tourist travel
through Maine the coming Summer than
ever. We believe We all take enough,
pride in our State as 4 whole. and eacl,
board OF selectmen in their town in par
ticu1ar. to want to make our visitors
feel at home and put them in frame of
mind 50 they viii want to come again.
Let us bear in mind that our own peo-
pie who pay the bills are entitled to the
best highways we can give them and Il
We can accommodate visitors at the
