dottane (6rnnr ^nttnel L VOLUME XXXIV FOUR MOTOR ACCIDENTS MAR SUNDAY AND MONDAY Although Oars Are Demolished, Occupants Escape With Minor Injuries. COTTAGE GROVE, LANE COUNTY, OREGON, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 19, 1923 RADIO FIRM SHOWS THAT* MILK OF HUMAN KINDNESS | FLOWS IN HUMAN BREAST ♦----------------- - --------------------- « The milk of human kindness con tinues to flow in the human breast. Several weeks ago O. R. Cochran had a notice inserted in a radio magazine stating that because of infirmities which prevented his do ing any great amount of work he would appreciate gifts of spare parts of radio outfits. Within a short time he received a complete new ouftit from the Ferrell Manu facturing company, makers of radio outfits. One of the officers of the company had seen the notice and had acted immediately. Mr. Cochran has to use a battery, because of not having electric power service in his i home, and business men of the city ’ bought him one. The new outfit is t a six-tube one. He already had I two-tube and three-tube outfits and I wishes to dispose of one of them. Mr. Cochran states that he gets i more pleasure out of tinkering with i outfits than he does from the actual I operatiou and in that way much of his spare time is consumed. Commissioner Sharp Develops Agility as Passer of Buck in Road Controversy Makes Many Statements in Strenuous Attempt to Lay Blame Onto Others, All of Which Are Proved to Be Entirely Out of Harmony With the Facts NUMBER 6 ♦------------------------------------- ———♦ HENRY BENNETT DOESN’T LIKE TOO AFFECTIONATE CHARGED HOIST CABLE ♦----------------------------------------♦ Henry Bennett, employe at the Woodson garage, is not easily shockbd, but something happened a few days ago that completely upset him aud he plainly showed his agi tation. He was sending some tools from the lower floor to the upper floor of the garage by the elevator. The steel cable with which the ele vator is operated hud become short- circuited with tho electric motor and when Mr. Beunett took hold of it, it immediately became affec tionate towards him and insisted upon hanging onto him. Ho had to put up quite a struggle to loosen tho embrace. Mr. Bennett stakes his reputation as a punster upon tho statement that an affectionate short-circuited cable can give pointers to a short- skirted flapper—his kuowledgo of tho latter being hearsay und obser vation only.

ORGANIZATION OF SIGNEOS FOO WINTERLYCEUMCOMPLETED OUTSIDE WATER USERS TO PAY ADDITIONAL RATE INTEREST HERE IN THE COVELL MUOER CASE CONTINUES The Wife Who Lived Here Was Not Mother of Alton, the Youth ful Murderer. The continued startling develop ments in the Covell murder case at Bandon are of interest to Cottage Grove people because of the faet that a part of the Covell family were residents here ten years ago. Dr. Covell was a chiropractic practitioner here. Dr. Covell’s wife of that time, who was his assistant in his practice, died after the fam ily removed to Bandon and the wife who was murdered by Dr. Covell’s son Alton was not known here. Al ton is a son by a marriage even preceding that with the wife who resided here. Alton, so far as re membered, did not at nny time live with his father here, he and his sister Lucille being cared for by Dr. Covell’s people, who lived else where. A son of Mrs. Covoll by a previous marriage was with the Covells when they lived hero and it is thought that Lucille was a resident hero for u short time. The most recent developments in the ease are that both Alton, wlio has confessed to murdering his step mother by smothering her with ammonia fumes, aud the crippled, bed-ridden undo, who incited the boy to the crime, will stand trial separately. It has developed that tho boy would havo been in the stato school for tho feebleminded except for the crowdod condition of the school. Tho murdex of Mrs. Covell was planned a month ahead and Mrs. Covell had herself pre dicted that October 3, according to her horoscope, was the date for her death. It has developed that tho uncle, Arthur Covell, instigator of tho crime, was a most kiuuly man until sustaining injuries when crushed under jt truck three years ago. A largo numbor of people of Ban don and vicinity were to havo boon murdered, according to diary notes of Arthur Covell, the contents of which have been divulged by tho authorities. It is thought that it is possible that horoscope's prepared by the crippled astrologist may have figured in tho murder a year ago of Desmond Taylor at Hollywood, which has never been cleared up. CHARLES GUGGISBERG IS RECOVERING CONSCIOUSNESS Charles Guggisbcrg, 13-year-old son of Mr. und Mrs. Fred Guggis- berg, who sustained severe injuries when knocked from a load of hay which ho was assisting to unload, and who remained in an unconscious condition for sovcrnl days, has re gained consciousness so far as to recognize those about him and tho attending physician believes there is no doubt of his complete ultimate recovery. Ho stated that there havo been cases in which unconsciousness continued over a much longer per iod and yet recovery was complete. While young Guggisberg was working on top of the load of hay, the horses became startled by a bale falling forward onto thorn. They jumped forward und the boy’s head came iu contact with tho track upon whieh tho barn door operated. Ho was struck on the side of the head, the blow barely missing tho tomplo. If your business isu’t better this year, the reason probably is that you haven’t done a sufficient amount of judicious advertising in The Sentinel. WHAT NEW YORK LEARNED Whatever has been said for or against newspaper advertising, Now York learned, during the time tho newspapers could give no advertising on account of the pressmen’s strike, exactly what it means to be left without news- paper advertising of tho sales. Evon Wall street, takes but a comparatively small corner of the Now York nows paper space, learned that its cue turners depend upon the news paper announcements of financial offerings, and several large mon ey offerings were postponed un til newspaper advertising could be had. Stores depending on special sales wore most seriously af fected. In lieu of newspaper ads these stores sent out printed cir culars, but theso were not nearly so effective as tho ads, the man agers admitted. In the words of Hearn W. 'I Street, one of the executives of Blair 4 company, a lending bank ing house: “Investment bankers were not certain until the pressmen '» strike begnn that newspaper advertising played a big part in their bind ness. We know now what in valuable service the newspapers render us. It. is next to impos- «ible to put over a big bond issue without advertising. Our elients expect advertising and will not bother to read circulars.’’ The experience of New York in her “newsloss’’ days should be of infinite value to _ anyone ,___ who doubts tho effectiveness of newspaper advertising.
