Bility Favor Sank Centre with a
.wi.l Visit Saturday

tic Shrine, the playground of Mason

enroiite to Alexandra where they
presented the famous Shrine minstrel
show in the evening. 6

sPotentate Kingston and Recorder
Walter King, a. band Of so pieces and
a drill patrol Of 4S.. A. dozen of the
LEGAL Sshriners met the special train
Fat Melrose and accompanied the No

train arriving at 1:30. Cars were at
the depot to care for the AZ ladies ;of
the party. !,
The red-tops formed in line behind
the gaily attired band and Patrol and
marched to the corner of Main and
Third street where several snappy
selections were rendered by the band,
after which the patrol gave an exhibit
ton Of their wonderful formations
for the benefit of an audience that
completely packed both sides Of the
street. The. drill team was letter
perfect and their intricate forma-
stions drew rounds of applause from
the assembled public. Main street
between Fourth and Fifth had been
cleared of autos at the request q
Mayor Parker to give the drill team
an opportunity to work. ss.
Past Potentate Simons OF st. Paul
had charge Of the ceremonies and

being delighted with the reception
given them by Sank Centre people.
A number of the local Nobility and
theeir ladies attended the Minstrel
show at Alex in the evening. The
entertainment was old time ministre-
ly pure and simple, but the crack

older days would find this bunch OF
40 performers making up the Osman
company mighty hard competition
An audience of 1000 enjoyed the en-
tertainment.

Author Of Mai, Street
Is VisitiHg Father in the
Old Town for Few Days

Wednesday afternoon as the Her
aid editor was walking up Oak street
he noticed familiar figure CARRIED in
pair of overalls tinkering with his
automobile just like an Fordhary guy.
Investigation proved that the tinker
er was Sinclair Lewis, authorsof the
years best seller "Main Street. the
book that has caused Sank Centre to
be known in every city, hamlet, and
village in the United States.
Mr.. Lewis arrived from Chicago
= few hours before for visit at the
home of his father DIR. E.. ]. Lewis
and expects to remain about ten days.
The American public appear to be
just little bit curious as to how the
people of this community would re-
ceive Mr.. Lewis on his first visit
following the publication of his FAM
Gus novel which is alleged by many
to depict characters found in his old
home town. -
There seems to be an impression
that the people of this vicinity were
"frothing at the mouth" so to
speak. The usual equilibrium of the
community was not disturbed by the
arrival of the famous author nor
were the dogs Of war unclaimed.
His friends were mighty glad to see
him, as always, and they rejoice with
him in his success in "selling himself
to the American public, an. accom-
|plishment . mighty small number ct
writers have been able to put across.
Speaking Of "Main Street" just
where the public got their notion
that Mr.. Lewis had his home town in
mind when he picked out his char
.acters for his unusual story is rather
remote. 1t is true that If one
stresses his Imagination he can find
people in Sank Centre who could pos
.sibly be linked up in a vague manner
as the characters the author had in
mind. Alse these characters can be
found in any other rural community
or even larger cenkerss Of population
Since the book was first published
Mr.. Lewis has received letters from
most every section of the country
from people who protested to be
amazed to find that the characters OF
aMain Street" so closely resembled
the people of their particular COM
rnunity y
While the sale of "Main Street"
mas fallen off to some extent Mr..
Lewis stated to the Herald that over
800, 900 copies of the book had been
sold. It has been read and criticized
or commended by people in all walks
of life,
The author has been criticized or
commended by journalists of interna-
tionaI reputation and near journalists,
to greater extent than any author
of recent years.
In most best seller the central
theme is not unlike many other works
of fiction. Mr.. Lewis can not be ac-
cused of plagiarism because "Main
Street" is so entirely different both
in theme and action from any other
novel ever published. Therein per-
haps lies the popularity. 1t has
proven to be a mighty substantial

meal ticket for its author and his
friends rejoice with him in his sue
cess. 81 V
1 This is the first visit of Mr.. Lewis
to Sank Centre sfor three years.
Prior to a year ago he spent his win
tiers in Washington and his summers
in Maine.
In May 1921, accompanied by his
wife and little son, he sailed for
Europe making his headquarters at
London, Cornwall and Kent, England,
two weeks at Paris, several months
In Rome, Italy, and back to- Eng
land again before hesailed for Amer
lea. -. y
While away Mr.. Lewis completed
the writing of his new book "Bab-
Bit The central character of the
new novel is a full blooded fellow of
an inventive turn Of mind and the
scene of action can be found in . al
most any American city Of from
800, 900 to 100000 people. The pub
hshers, Harcourt, Brace and Com
pany of New York will complete the
publication Of Mr.. Lewis latest piece
Of fiction September 14th.
mr.. Lewis viii play around for a
while and will meet his wife at st.
Paul in about two weeks. They have
not definitely decided whether they
will spend their vacation camping in
Wyoming or take trip through
Ganada, before taking up theier resi-
dence at some point still to be- de-
cided upon. 9ss
Mr.. Lewis says that much Of the
stuff being printed in the American
magazines about the manner in
which the American is being "l,eld
up" in Europe, is largely bunk. He
says that the hotels charge all the
traffic will bear, but the hosteleries
and restaurants in America from
fiunkie to manager, have the Europ-
can shotel and cafe people backed off
the Besrds when it comes to making
charges It is not necessary to
cross the Atlantic to get trimmed"
Yankee thrift will see to that If Civ
en- an opportunity.
Speaking Of the European press,
Mr.. Lewis says that the English 1e-
porter is somewhat more diginified
than his American brother. While
his "nose" for news may not be as
alert, the London papers are not as
keen to paint the sordid affairs of life
as are some of the leading news
papers of America. The English
press undoubtedly are more potent
factor in moulding public opinion
than are the American newspapers,
because they are used more by digni-
taries to discuss matters of public in.
terest. When man of prominence
writes letter to the London press it
is given top column, first page po-
sition.
The gentleman states that they en-
joyed their year spent in Europe, and
while it might be all right for a per-
son to reside over there if they were
satisfied with a quiet life, he prefers
vigorous United States as an abiding
place.

DOUBLE SUICIDE AT FERGUS

DOUBLE SUICIDE AT FERGUS
Merle Robertson, Is years old and
Lenora Rudh, 10 years old, killed
themselves Monday night with the
same revolver. There is no evidence
that the double suicide was pre-ar-

a serious quarrel. The two lived
only few blocks apart and were
friends for many years.
