EX-CONVICTS NEAT
Leave Missouri Penitentiary With
Stylish Suits.
NOT SPOTTED BY OUTSIDERS.
Even the Children of Jefferson City
Can't Recognize Freed Prisoners In
Their Tailored Checked Suits, At
tractive Ties and Stylish Hats.
Jefferson City.—The man who Is re-
Leased from the Missouri penitentiary
today does not hare the appearance of
the one who was liberated a few years
ago, and he is no longer spotted by the
children in the town as an ex-convict.
Instead of the suit of a dull brown
mixture, the coarse shirts and the
heavy, squeaking brogan shoes that
marked him a few years ago, the pres
ent warden, D. C. McClung, has made
it possible without additional expense
to the state for the men to leave the
prison in neat suits of fine checked pat
| terns, such as any man might select.
! These suits are made to measure of
' cloth jnuHufactured In theL.nrison. And
In addition to these suits Ufe Treedcon
vict wears attractive shirts, pretty ties
and stylish bats.
By careful buying Mr. McClung has
bought shirts that -would retail at
three or four times the price. Neat
overcoats are given the men .who go
out In cold weather. All this work
comes under the head of the commis
sary department, which has undergone
an overhauling.
Carl McClung, son of the warden, has
j taken the commissary out of a small
dungeon of a room to a good, clean
building that formerly was used as an
ov/jrall factory.
All the edibles and wearing apparel
j are kept In this building. Every piece
of clothing, every bag of flour and
every pound of all stuffs used is tick
eted and can bp checked up.
In a small store where the convicts
may buy, run by Carl McClung, the con
victs are charged just what the food
would cost, them outside except in the
case of a few items, which are sold ai
leas than cost.

Soils From Useless Growths.

plies to other things in Arkansas be
sides the fly. A campaign against
weeds was announced recently by the

soil fertility and soil moisture."
Weeds may cost a community or
state millions of dollars, according to 1
