r'You see," I ADDED, ga prison
community has to nave law and
order just like outside. Only in
that way can men survive and
enjoy their rights, their liberty.
The better the prisoners govern
themselves, by taking offending
members to task, the greater
The number and variety Of privil-
eyes, or rights And all the
time they're doing this they are
unconsciousIy eaking away
from old habits, from old be-
liefs, and fitting themselves to
fan in and become good citizens
after release. It's just a plain
matter OF seIf-interest through
the application Of the principle
Of the greatest good for the great
est number; whereas, in the old
prison days it was a matter of
the least good for everybody con-
cerned." OF course, those were
not my exact words. I was
much more explicit. It became
apparent-at each succeeding mass
gathering OF the prisoners for
discussions that they were be-
coming ripe for the adoption of
the league principles, with fights
and malingering and other in
subordinations already becoming
less frequent.

Of visitors coming to the prison
itself. OF course all these visitors
were worth while, Some more so
than others. They were cordially
received and were extended every
opportunity for learning just
what was going on and what it
was hoped might be accomplished.
Among the visitors were many
of the new warden's friends of
long standing. Osborne had for
many years been prominent in
the public affairs Of his home
city Of Auburn, where he had
twice been mayor, and also in
the public affairs Of the State
of New York. Moreover, he had

What is it. Bobby2'' I asked.
Its this. They call the people
who live here in India Indians
That is all right. But then, why
do they call Our red men who
live in America Indians?
= : Because, / answered, when
the early explorers went TO
America they didn't dream they
had found a new country at first.
They believed they had found a
short route to India. So, natur-
ally. they thought the people they
found there were Indians. They
called them Indians, and Indians
they have been from that time
We went on our way after this
discussion and went further into
the jungle which we were explor-
ing I'm northeastern India.
Soon it became quite warm

fur coat was most Lwfully hot. so
we decided to wait under a tree
until the sun got lower and not
start home until the late after
noon.
Bobby decided to build a mud

went to work.
AT one point in his building I
dirnIy remember his saying that
the mud was too gooey and that
he needed some dry earth to
thicken up his mixture. You.
know yourself how you have to
mix mud to make it the right,
consistency-as cooks say-when
you are making mud pies.
So. Bunny, being an agreeable
little fellow and by nature a born
digger, offered TO burrow out

Into the dry earth his two

explaining the different kinds Of
membership and the disposition that

There are four types of member
ships" she stated, Involving $25, $40,
IS and 81 membership fees. From
each membership only fifty cents goes
to National Headquarters of the Red
Cross to carry on its national and
international work. The rest Of the
money remains in the treasury of the
local Chapter to finance the work in
Augusta. For instance, from a SIS
membership S24.50 IS spent locally,
while fifty cents goes into the Ma
tional Red Cross treasury. Similarly,
with a 81 membership, fifty cents
goes to National headquarters and so
cents remains for our chapter. The

WARNING AGAINST
FURTHER THEFT OF
HIGHWAY MARKERS
State Highway Commission
Finds It Difficult To Main
tain Marker and Direction
Signs-Removal OF These
Signs Causes Inconvenience
to Travelling Public

Early during the present year the
Highway Commission erected about
1900 numeral signs to mark the
numbered highway routes, both In
terstate and intra-state. NO one
thing that has been done in the State
Of Maine has received more popular
approval by the travelling public,
both residents of Maine and tourists.
Letters have been received at the
office of the Highway Commission
all through the season, as well as by
the Maine Publicity Bureau and the
Maine Automobile Association, COM
plimenting the State Highway Com
mission on the completeness of this
marking SYSTEM These letters OF
commentator are a guarantee that
the route markers are appreciated
by the travelling public.
The markers have also ELECTED
much favorable newspaper comment
all over the United States.
Notwithstanding the value of the
markers, the Commission has eX-
perienced considerable difficulty in
keeping them in place. On Saturday
last, seven of these number signs
were removed between Hallowell
and Brunswick, and three were TAX
en- down in Brunswick and one in
Augusta, making total of IL signs
which were removed on that day. In
particular locations signs have been
removed two and three times during
the season and have been replaced
by the Commission. Sometimes the
original sign was found and at 9TH
err times new sign had to be fur
nished.
The removal of these signs, which
many times may cause Inconvenience
to the travelling public, has rather
ceased to be a joke and the Com
mission intends to take steps to pre-
vent their further mutilation and
removal.
Within the last two months the
Commission has erected about lou
luminous caution and danger signs,
indicating curves, cross roads and
railroad grade crossings. These
signs are of the rejecting type and
are readily picked up by headlights
at night. They, are surely of great
value to motorists. Recently one OF
these signs was stolen in York
county. The sign was found on the
premises of the party who stole it
this party was hailed into court or
Wednesday. Oct. %, and was sen
fenced to 60 days in jail. If the re.
moval and destruction of marker
signs continues, those responsible
need not be disappointed II they
have a call from the State Highway
police or representative Of the
county sheriff's Office.
