REGISTER EARLY, ADVISES VARNUM "What registration?" The above is the question often put to registration deputies of County Clerk J. M. Backs. There seems to be a widespread impression that instead of being an effort to make a thorough registration of voters that the deputies are working some private scheme of their own. So reports Geo. Varnum, 125 E. Center, who asks that the widest publicity be given by neighbor, lodger, churcher, etc. to the end that Anaheim make a creditable showing for active citizenship. Another misconception is the purpose for which the voter's political party is asked; it should be clearly understood that this is only in case one desires to vote at the primaries of the different parties. Otherwise no one need declare a political party—and even if one has declared for a party they can, on all except primary elections, have absolute freedom to vote for anyone. Neither has registration anything to do with poll taxes, or other taxes, as so many seem to think. Everyone should make the effort to register now, as after, the first rush is ever it will be much more difficult to find a deputy although the county clerk's office in Santa Ana is, of course open. Another reason for registering now is that during four months of this year no registration can be done at all, being 30 days prior to each election. Delay may result in losing a much desired vote in this very interesting year. Bell-shaped pants may be hideous, but you can put on a spare without taking off your shoes and using talcum powder. Modesty is the quality that keeps a woman from giving any thought to the subject of modesty. BUENA PARK BUENA PARK, Jan. 18.—Dr. and Mrs. J. R.

Plain Dealer Classified Ads All CHOOSES DEATH BY FIRING SQUAD SALT LAKE CITY, Jan. 18. Omer Woods today faced a firing squad in the yard of the Utah state penalitary. The order to fire was given and the volley was fired at 8:17 a.m. Physicians rushed to his side immediately after the shots were fired and two minutes later pronounced him dead. The former Idaho probate judge denied his last hope of stay of sentence by the supreme court's refusal to intervene, went to the death he chose in preference to hanging for the murder of his wife Marietta, two years ago. Woods was convicted of one of the most revolting crimes in the history of homicides in the west. Born 43 years ago, of good family, near Knoxville, Tenn. Woods earned the money for his education as a lawyer by "picking tan bark." About 1990, he met Marietta Wood, daughter of a small farmer near Knoxville. There was, according to the story developed at his trial, a romance. Then Woods left. Later, upon graduation from law school, he went to Idaho, rose to probate judge at Nampa City and then eight years ago he returned to Knoxville, married Marietta Wood and adopted her 15-year-old daughter as his child. Woods was appointed to the internal revenue service, auditing department. He went to Washington and then came to Utah. He brought his wife and daughter and settled in the Pauline apartments here. The daughter, Tee Lee Woods, entered the University of Utah. Shortly before 2 p.m., Jan. 9, 1922, Woods staggered from his burning apartment to tell excited neighbors of a bandit attack in which he had been knocked out and bound and his wife burned. Men hurried to suppress the blaze and found the body of Mrs. Woods charring on a pyre of benzine-soaked bed clothes in a rear bedroom. Surgical examination revealed that her jawbone had been shattered by a blow, her throat strangled and the body then set.

Shops S Santa Ana 109 West 6th Shortly before 2 p.m. Jan. 9, 1922, Woods staggered from his burning apartment to tell excited neighbors of a bandit attack in which he had been knocked out and bound and his wife burned. Men hurried to suppress the blaze and found the body of Mrs. Woods charring on a pyre of benzinesoaked bed clothes in a rear bedroom. Surgical examination revealed that her jawbone had been shattered by a blow, her throat strangled and the body then set afire. Woods was held for investigation. It developed he had purchased that day an unusual quantity of benzine and that shortly before he had taken out a policy on his wife's life in favor of himself carrying additional indemnity in case of death in a burning building. He was charged with first degree murder and convicted. Desperate attempts to save him from the executioner developed toward the end. Insanity was pleaded. Congressman Addison T. Smith and Burton L. French of Idaho wired intercession to Governor Mabey. Woods produced affidavits charging another with the crime. But after prolonged sessions of the state pardons board, remency was denied and, referring to executive sessions of the board, Governor Mabey issued the statement: "If the people know any the facts they would have but little to say. In the name of human-ity!" Woods spent his last night on earth calmly. He ate a hearty supper of chicken. When the prison surgeon visited him Thursday Woods remarked: "This thing of being executed isn't as bad as I thought it was going to be." Woods insisted upon his innocence to the end.
