XXX Advertising Was One Day Short ELECTION FEB. 21 There is one thing the tempest in a teapot did last week. It secured the concellation of the sale of the Coos Bay Grocery stock at North Bend to School Director to Be Chosen A. E. Seaman. This, of course, was not the prime motive of the tirade, Then—Glaisyer aad Pur and whether H. E. Hess will be its vic vance Candidates tim, or its victor, will not be known until the primary.

V. Glaisyer and Ernest Purvance. The latter was defeated by Mrs. Leona Wyant at the regular June election last year by a few votes. Both gentlemen have a daughter in school, and both are much interested in educational affairs. There may be other candidates before February 21st, but this morning the only two being talked are those above men tioned. Geo. Ulett Finds Business Better Mr. and Mrs. Geo. A. Ulett and George Jr. returned last Friday from their five weeks’ eastern trip to Bos ton and New York. They stopped al so at Indianapolis and spent part of a day with Mr. and Mrs. Ben Lawrence and were in Kansas City for a short time. Mr. Ulett says he wgs never so glad to get beck honte as he was from this trip. He was ill with »he flu nsarly sll the time they were on the Atlantic coast, and it was a real pleasure to get home and find it spring. He says that conditions have ma terially improved in the east since his visit there last year; that business if resuming, that orders are starting factories up again, and that a real spirit of optimism prevails. This section was two or three years feeling the pinch; let’s hope we are not so slow in experiencing the uplift. action in returning possession to the county of the atock. When the trouble arose he turned it back to Archie Philip who is re-advertising it The appraisal made the latter part of last week by A. K. Pearson, places the value at |355. And if enough in terest has been aroused it may sell for more than the M0 bid of Jan. 8. Pirates • Red Devils Tonight The cellar championship of the Coos County Scholastic League is at stake in the battle here tonight between the Bandon Tigers and the Coquille Red Devils. Each team has been defeated by each of the other three teams in the conference. Both squads have played good basketball but have not seemed to dick fast enough. To night’s game should be a hot affair with each trying to pull out of the basement. HITLER, A WILD EYED MORON “L00KIII1DVELÏ Getting Senior Class Play Lout Night Not Misnamed---Large Into the Field Earlier Crowd Thia Year Primary Candidates Much earlier than is usual, filing for primary nominations has been the order of the day the pest week, and the "indications are for a hot—and possibly dirty—campaign before May 18. Archie Philip, whose candidacy had probably reached the earn of the coun- ty judge before the blow-up on Mon- day of last week, filed notice of his candidacy for the republican nomina tion for county judge last Saturday. The first of this week R. H. Mast filed ae a democratic candidate for the same office and Jack LeFevre stated that he would file today. P. W. Culver got into the race by filing aa a republican candidate for Sheriff, and Thomas Lawhorn, of Me- Kinley, and Jas. T. Jenkins, of Ben don, filed as democratic candidates, and two other democrats are reported as intending to file for sheriff. No one has filed yet for county treasurer but M. O. Hawkins, of this city, will probably enter the demo cratic lists, and Chas. Stauff will seek re-election as a republican. Others who are talking of throw ing their hate into the ring are Hugh McLain, Matwhfield democrat, for county judge; Elmore Drane, Bandon, democratic candidate for sheriff; Henry Gustafson, North Bend, dem ocrat, for sheriff; and there are still others who are thinking of taking a ride at the primaries.

I It’s in Sentinel Window Randall Johnson left in the Sentinel window yesterday a 125-pound chunk of that pitch coal he finds in his mine near Riverton, formerly known as the McGourty mine. A match will set a piece of it aflre and it will burn until consumed. _ —— This alone bears out the belief held by so many that there is petroleum under the surface of the Coquille val ley. Whether it exists in commercial quantities has never ben sesertatasd. “Lookin’ Lovely" was not only the name of the senior elate play, present ed at the Community Building last evening, bat the words could as well be applied to the members of the cast, at least (he feminine portion, and to the director when she appeared before the footlights to receive the beautiful toenquet presented by Bob Collier on behalf the staff. It has been the Sentinel writer’s privilege over a period of twenty years to witnees senior class plays, presented by Coquille High School ptudents. Borne of them have been excellent, some passing fair and some poor, but we do not recall one in which the general presentation sur- passed that of last evening. The comedy was carried through without hitch or delay; the diction of the amateur actors and actresses was excellent; their voices carried clearly to the rear of the hall, and none of the 300 to 400 present missed a word of it Combined with these was the natural, easy nonchalance of the young people, who gave the impres sion of living the acenes, rather than that of acting. Especially was this true of Beryl Unooeld and Rose Mat ney, but the others were well nigh as perfect. Sammy Nye, “Persimmon,” the negro eook, could only have been trained in the colored dialect and ac tion By a keen observer of the old Southern mammy. Cherie Mae Hartwell, the highbrow neighbor, who had the part which will alienate an audience if anything will, ried through as though she was lovely heroine instead of the vil- lainesa, and Clarice Krantz, the post card reading town postmistress, made a hit with her scorning of her sheriff lover, only to succumb when she feared losing him. Faye June Nosier and Ellis Newton, ' -outhful nuisances, would never ------ .jused anyone to consider them as sedate seniors when they ran pell mell to escape avenging fate. The most difficult role was that of Bill Floten, taking the part of an English “Chollie,” and he maintained it throughout with unerring fidelity. Charlie Gaslin, as Moe the theatrical promotor, would never have been recognized had there been no pro grams by which to identify him. Bill Pook, the alow, easy-going sheriff, and Bob Collier and Gordon Neil, the pramotons, who pulled the farm out of the mud, and made it a mud-bath emporium and beauty resort, were not backward at all in business or sentimental situations. Miss Kathleen MdClintock, who di rected this successful presentation, had good material with which to work, and they furnished a very enjoyable evening’s entertainment. k Blew Him Out of Car The fire department was called to the Donstad Service Station, near the Masonic cemetery, shortly after six o’clock last Tuesday evening, where Lyle Wimer’s car was on fire. The fire was extinguished but the whole in terior of the ear was ruined. Mr. Wimer had Just arrived from work and brought a five gallon can of gasoline. There must have been leak age from the car for when he lighted a cigarette before getting out there was an explosion and the car caught fire. He threw the can out and was badly singed about the face and hands. The top of the Chevrolet was burned off, the woodwork charred and all the upholstery ruined. Attend 0. E. 8. at Roseburg Seven members of Beulah chapter, O. E. 8. drove out to Roseburg last evening to attend the Star meeting i there at which Mrs. Inez J.

Mrs. Glais yer is at present on a two months* trip, during which she is visiting western Oregon chapters She will be at Eugene tonight. Those going over last evening were Mrs. Geo. A. Ulett, Mrs. Lafe Compton, Mr. and Mrs. A. N. Gould, Mr. and Mm. W. E. Boeserman and Dr. W. V. Glaisyer.
