The Convict Labor Law.

1t is altogether likely that Cover.
nor Folk will ask the next Legisla-
ture to 30 amend the convict labor
lawes as to make it possible for the
earnings OF such convicts as have
families dependent upon them to be
set aside for their use. The Cover
nor has noted that only poor men
are sent to the penitentisry. The
gates OF the prison never close on a
rich man. Not a few Of these con-
victs have helpless families depend
ant upon them, but the law takes
what they earn and let's the families
suffer. The Governor believes that
this Is wrong in principle and should
be corrected forthwith. He concludes
that Missouri is entirely too big and
too rich a State to permit this
injustice to continue.-Jefferso City

Dear Sir: You painters have a
sort of natural prejudice against
ready paints; and considering the
quality Of some OF them we don't
blame you.
But We paint makers know some
things that 1t might pay you to
learn; and one Of them is that paint
materials can be better mixed in
large quantities by machinery than
by hand. Better mixed means that
the paint covers better, brushes out
smoother, and lasts better in the
wear. And we can also get our pro-
portions very exact; another point
which guess-work or handwriting
can't do.
We make Devoe lead.and-zlnc
Paint OF the same materials that
good painters use; lead, zinc, color,
linseed oil, turpentine dryer; We mix
these together by mechanical means,
In the right proportions.
