Mrs, Eva Dugan, the first woman to be legally executed in Arizona, paid with her life today for the slaying in 1927 of A. J. Muthia, Tucson rancher. The trap km sprung at 5:11 a. m. As the trap clanged and she drop* jx'd more than six feet, the noose tightened, severing her head, and the body ratai>ulti*d to the floor. Dr. L. A Hove, prison physician, pronounced her dead immediately. Warden 1/orenzo Wright ion mediately cleared the gallows room, an I turned the body ovei to tiie prison physician and an undertaker. , Six women witnessed the execution. Mrs. Dugan, unshaken, calmly climbed the. thirteen steps to the gull< w - and smiled as the black hood was adjusted over her head. She said she had no statement to make. Warden Wright clasped her hand and said, "God bless you, Kva." Mrs. Dugan smiled arid said, "Good bye. Daddy Wright." A few seconds later the steel trap was sprung. The .*>2 year-old housekeeper, who was convicted of the murder of Mathis, her employer, in January, 1927, in -order to gain possession of his property, spent thy hours preceding her execution in the company of the prison chaplain and a few frineds. l.'ntil after midnight she sat at a card table and played whist with two women friends and a woman prisoner, while outside her cell the death watch paced back and forth. During the course of the game, Mrs. Dugan requested that her "guests" be served with orangeade. Several minutes passed before the driiik was served, and the condemned woman called to a guard: "I'lease bring on the orangeade. I want it i:ow . Tomorrow will be too late." Sin-c early evening the sky ha t been overcast, and a light rain was I altering on (he gravelled pathway a- the w -man NtfHri >led from her cell : n t he pi i on proper across an open -pace to '.lie death eell. She smoked a cigareiti and joked with guards as in- marched along, and a- they beared the gallows house she laughed and - .eg. I D-oi't Know Win re I'm Going. Hut I'm On'My Way." Mi-. Dugan kissed two of the gua ii- who left her at the door of the de ath house. and said: "1 love everyone connected with the prison. You ha\e all Im-cii good to me, and I can't blame you for what the law is going to do to me." The guards were more visibly affected than was the woman who stood in the shadow of the scaffold. A telegram delivered to her in the condemned cell revealed a hitherto unknown chapter' in her early life. The message, signed "Ada Hostapple, Seattle, Wash." read: "I sympathize with you and have the greatest admiration for your bravery and grit." ".Via is an old friend of the Yukon day-," Mr-. Dugan said.

There is a -urplus of labor in all the factories due to the double reason that agricultural life has become so sterile and unprofitable within recent years ;:t d. also, because of the substitution of so many mechanisms for muscular labor. Hence the industries .arc in a position of being unable to aln-orb all the labor that abounds ami which -tands knix-king at their ii The thing for surplus labor to it- . they continue to anm-e, is to i? : urn to the farms.

I Life Sentence | For Step-Mother Pickens, Feb. 22.?A jury last night found Kdd Chappell guilty of being an accessory after the fact in the murder of his 20-monthn-old daughter, Avanelle. His wife, the child's step-mother, plead guilty to the murder Wednesday afternoon, admitting that she had suffocated the baby. She was given a life sentence. The jury returned the verdict u? gainst Chappell Saturday night abou' 7 o'clock after deliberating for an hour and a half. He was given a sentence of five years, either on the chain gang or in the state penitentiary. His lawyers served notice of appeal, and Chappell was released on 11,000 bond. f The case has attracted . much tendon and the trial, which began Wednesday, heard the startling confession of Mrs. Onie Chappell that she murdered the child and that Chappell only helped her dispose of I the body. She had claimed at the inquest, held two weeks after the body was found, that Chappell had knocked the child down, killing it. The body of the murdered child j was found on January 12, by an oldI or child, -stuffed down in a washtub on the back porch in three inches <>f water. What a Hank .Means to a Community It is amazing and amusing to get the crude viewpoints of many people with reference to banks. In former days they would have excited no comments, when everybody paid, und a bank failure was a rarity. It is still a largely prevalent notion that its only function is to lend money. There is u big element of truth in 'this. It ibiu't make profits without lending but the best would not long survive on loans that were once almost certainly safe and sound. It has now reached the stage where criticism is a fine asset to an institution of this kind. Easy money is a mighty dangerous udvestisement for a bank. Ii is difficult to collect .rood loans, these days, in many cases. I' is next to impossible to corner tr.e doubtful and diseased ones. This applies more forcibly to private, than ' > bank loans. ( red it is hard to get. as a rule. I here is a reason for it. The banks are not to blame. Some can't help it bycau-o they have overloaded. The thoroughly solvent ones, remain so, by caution and gilt-edged security. So much for that feature. ! You seldom hear people talk about the advantages of a good bank in the community, whether they can or cannot, borrow its money. Though your funds be large or small, wouldn't it be a dull drab to life to have no checking account on a bank? Your check is the best kind of a receipt. If over 50 dollars, you can make a convenience of a bank, year in and year out, without a cent's cost to yourself. It takes work to keep your accounts, though small, in order, and ready at any moment for your beck and call. It must be a great nuisance to these people, who put their little holding in stockings or bury the treasure under the corner of the house, to i>o slipping around at night tor some change to meet every requirement . it is dangerous, these piping, hungry and criminal times t<> have it known mat ymi are i a: tying morn y " -? ? g .: ;>; tat home bu:.:.g llcMdc-. t <i?- tumor even .* Ie..m "u:.

It. js un u!, .\i :l'i bank law, seldom abused, that y uir l>u-1lies.- is strictly private within its wall.- and among the employee.-. Unless improperly schooled, they do not discuss with you your own at lairs, therein, unless you need pushing or you encourage them to do it. It is unpardonable, and almost | never violated, for your bank officials high or law, to let the public know anything about the business of their clients, unless unavoidable and al >St dutely necessary. As a small depositor in banks along with other dealings therein, over 40 years, there has never been the slightest reason for personal complaint about divulgent and gossipy employees or high officials. A good bank is a great blessing in many ways. ? Calhoun (St. Matthews) Times. (Guillotines Himself W ith Paper Machine l'?. talo, 1-Yh. 22.?An operator of an automat..- paper cutter at the c i Ait- plant here was believed 1 '!'> have guillotined himself to<:a\ with the machine. Norbert Hef/man. who a fellow workman 'a'1 had been despondent lately, pl.u < i his head under the sharp blade ot the cutter, touched the trigger and cut oit his own head, according to Medical Kxaminer Charles E. Long. One hundred and forty-eight patients, including 14 children, were removed trom St. Joseph's hospital, Providence, R. I., Sunday morning when it was discovered that the structure was on fire. The fire destroyed the fourth and fifth floors of the building and water did much damage to the rest of it. It has been found that Mrs. Frances Jackson, 8.1, supposedly a pauper, who recently has been committed to a sanatorium, has a fortune of more than $ l>0.000 in cash, bonds and stocks. She had cached her wealth in the baseboard of her kitchen and was obsessed with the idea that she needed to save every penny. '-J ' ' - xii'-i.i. .! urn WIIKN OLD AGKCOMK8 Parents Who (iive AH Dcaerve More Consideration In our greet desire to free the children from inhibitions I sometime* wonder whet we are going to make of them, writes Mrs, Walter Ferguson on New York Telegram. It has become not only the fashion but the habit to dwell upon the lives that have been ruined by inconsiderate parents. We tell and retell the awful results of a mother-in- I law's stay in the homg. We bewail j the burdens that are dumped on the | shoulders of a son or daughter when ! an old father must bo supported. Our constant cry is the duty of parents to children. Because we have all witnessed the ha voc that a foolish mother can make in a home, we know how many fami-' ly quarrels are the results of meddling relatives. But this continuous broadcasting | about the rights of the child?whac will it make of him eventually? Today our children are being reared with the idea that theirs is the privi- j lege of treading ruthlessly over ev- j erytbody. In our constant concern ; for their welfare we ,/ire in danger ! of making them into thoughtless, in- I considerate, selfish beings, conscious ! only of their own importance. The father who has lost his health ! and powers by working hard to pro- ( vide his family with an education? ! has he not earned a place by their fireside for his old age ? The mother , who toils and gives her best years : with unstinting love?is she to be pushed off into a corner when her work is done? Our tendency to psychoanalye and j free the children is losing them soma . precious quality. We are breaking away their shackles, but we are also j loading them with others made up of j arrogance and conceit and cruelty. They are discarding their reverence 1 for age and experience that marked the youth of a generation ago. They ; are growing into rude, high-handed >ocial bandits, taking their own sweet way regardless of the feelings of : others. I We have the Humane Society to look out after broken down horses. I But how are we going to care for | broken down parents if we keep on j with this loud talk about the eternal j rights of the young? The old. too, have rights, and it's time the children knew it. What's more, psychologists or no psychologists, the individual , who forgets his duty to age will feel no sense of duty toward youth. He is 1 a poor son and he will be an equally poor father. Selfishness is an unpleasing trait at any age. Names of drunkards and any offenses committed by them are published in newspapers of Keiv, Ukrania. George L.
