When taken to the city jail he claimed that he was intending to make an alcoholic drink. Ernie has been greatly interested in chemistry and on a couple of oc casions, when found in doctors’ of fices at night, had apparently been seeking books which dealt with chemical reactions. That he had any intention of blow ing up the reservoir or putting any thing poisonous in the city's water supply is improbable, although any stomach ache suffered by children the pest week has been attributed by some people to hia evil intentions. Ernie was taken before the probate court on Monday and was committed to the hospital. L. C. Rich Was Former Resident Mr. and Mrs. A. N.

He Believes Advertising Pays The Sentinel signed a contract yes terday with the CoquiUw Service Sta tion for 1500 inches of Goodyear Tiro Co. advertising for the coming year, which is double what was run the past year. A. 0. Walker believes in newspaper advertising and 1ms been a consistent user of the Sentinel col- umns for the past ten years or more. He has found it pays, too, for his Goodyear tire sales have increased yearly. And the fact that he is ad vertising a good product, one which stands up to every claim made for It, is also responsible for its increaaing popularity. Mr. Walker does not take the ati bado which some Coquille merchante do, “the people know I’m here and will patronise me whether I advertise or not.” There are always now items being added to stock of which the pub lic knows nothing, and the people may be going out of town to buy what they could more easily, and ae economical ly, find in Coquille. Advertising puts the kick into busi ness. And the weekly home paper of the average small town is recognised by national advertisers as the most effective medium for a locality. I.O.O.F.
