OKLAHOMA PAPER
TAKES crime NEWS
FROM FIRST PAGE

Durant, Okla Hence
forth it will be the policy of
the Durant Weekly News
and the Saturday Morning
Advertiser to make crime
news as inconspicuous as
possible in thecolumns of the
paper giving such items the
smallest possible headlines,
tn e least space and keeping
them entirely off the front
page, except as to such items
as may develop so near press
time that none other than
first page is available, )"
writes E. M. Evans, publish
er in the May 20 issue of the
News.
ut is the firm conviction
of the publisher of the News
and Advertiser that all pap
ers from county weekly to
metropolitan daily, have Civ
en- crime stories big headlines
and prominent frOnt-page
positions far beyond their
value to the readers of the
news.
"This overplaying of
crime news by the sensa-
tional large-city daily has
greatly overemphasized the
extent Of the crime wave,
until the reader of certain
types of newspapers is led to
believe that crime is Ameri-
cas- principal occupation.
Crime directly affects,
really a small percentage
of our people. The printing
of the sordid details of a
crime of violence is positive
ly a detrimental Influence
upon the minds of adoles-
cent boys and girls.
There are so many things
happening in the world to-
day that are of real interest
and Importance in the lives
of all of us that news of
crime is far overshadowed.
"Th:s change in policy is
in the carrying out of
our purpose to print a news
paper which is fit for every
of the family to
liary.

STATE HISTORIAN
HOLDS MEETING

Mrs. Effie B. Keen, state
historian, addressed an IN
terested audience at the Wo-
mans club house Friday
evening relative to obtaining
a uniform system of markers
for historic spots in this
state. 1t was found that
Pinal county has a number
of places that might be we'll
designated by such mark
ers, and the idea that a
marker of copper cut in the
shape o f the state of Arl-
zona, about 4x4 feet would
be ideal met with the appro-
val of those present. The
matter of meeting the cost
of such marker would have
to be worked out. On the
face of it would be printed
the legend of the particular
historic spot. A number of
Casa Grande visitors were in
attendance.

The Coolidge Bank While
Solvent Is Forced To
Close With Others
EFFORTS BEING MADE TOOPEN

Monday morning the Ari-
zona Southwest bank of
Tucson and branches at
Douglas, Coolidge and Casa
Grande were closed by the
state banking department,
James B. Button, state su-
perintendent of banks is in
charge at the Tucson bank
and his deputies are in
charge at the other banks.
1t is claimed that the banks
were closed for the protec-
ton of the depositors.
J T. Brown of Casa
Grande was president of the
Arizona Southwest bank, H.
H. Holbert, vice-president
and cashier, and H. w. Skat-
tahoe and H. c. Crowell, as
SiStant cashier.
AS near as can be learned
the Coolidge bank was in
sound condition but belong
ing to the chain of banks
was drawn into this disaster
through the difficulties of
the other banks.
While this will be COM
forting news to many Cool
idge patronc the hardships
and heartaches are appar-
ent and it will be some
time before the citizens of
Coolidge can recover from
this blow.
While it means but little
to some there are a good
who will suffer and
have to undergo hardships
in consequence.
Wednesday evening Mr..
Clements of the Valley bank
of Casa Grande met with
about fifty Of Coolidge citi-
zens at the Woman's Club
rooms making the proposis-
ton that the Valley bank
would furnish funds and es-
tablish an exchange or
clearing house for the con-
venience of the business men
of Coolidge for a period of
thirty days without cost to
them. In the meantime the
cost of conducting this ex-
change would be known and
if the business justifies it
self, arrangements could be
made to continue this ex-
change, saving Coolidge citi-
zens the time and expense
Cf a trip to- Casa Grande or
! florence.
Thursday afternoon the
directors and a large num-
her of depositors in the Cool
i1ge bank met at the Wo-
mans club rooms for the
urpose of formulating some
Ilan if possible to reopen the
bank.
A committee of seven was
chosen consisting of J. J.
Jones, R. ]. Jones, Y. w.
j. W. Hines, P. w.
Hamilton, Chas. Cohen, and
Sam Langford. This COM
mittee will go to Phoenix to-
day and get in touch with
state officials to see if some
plan cannot be worked out
whereby the bank can be re-
The meeting was
adjourned until Saturday
when it is expected the COM
mittee will be ready to make
a report.
Everybody is working
hard to have the bank re-
and every effort will
be used with this end in
view.
The people of Coolidge
are meeting this unlocked
for disaster with fortitude.

The gentleman who re-
Gently came down from

other remote point certainly
must have been looking
through rose colored spec

the postal department that

Coolidge and Florence have

that we have-but as has
been previously and at SUM-
dry times stated, there is
some difference between
theory and practice.
The case it seems to US,
should not be allowed to
drop with this adverse re-
port. The truth of the mat
ter is that it often takes 3
days for a letter to travel
from Casa Grande to Cool
idge, II miles distant, and
Florence % miles away.
