While on the subject of good roads

that S. T. L. 80 should be brought in
to Lancaster via the cemetery instead
of the Pigeon Hill route, as at pres

The Herald does not trust Pigeon

use or purpose in spending large
sum of money improving the hill when
the trunk line might approach and
enter the city over a practically level
road, we'll graded and amenable to
inexpensive improvement.
Pigeon Hill can be left as it is fer
the farmers desiring to approach the
city from the south. These people
need, and should have straight route
into their market town. From trunk

Bank Consolidation
An Excellent Move.

The Herald considers the recent
bank consolidation an excellent move
and one of value to the community.
Two banks in the town will serve all
necessary purposes including COM
petition. The community might even
tually support another bank, but if
one starts, it should be a strong one.
Banks of limited resources, even
though honestly conducted, are not a
good thing. Banks of strong resourc-
es have a vital responsibility. We
feel that the officers and directors Of
both Lancaster banks fully realize
their responsibility, and in view CT
what has transpired here will make
every effort to provide the full meas
ure of protection the public demands
and needs.

A Same of Pretending.

Because the Herald innocently SAID
with regret that because OF the suS-
pension of the Cassville Record the
village was now without local paper
Uncle John Foley, former editor of
the Index of that village, takes us TO
task.
John tells us that Cassville has a
paper. This paper, the Index, john
saws is printed at Bloomington as a
mere matter of-shall we say, eXped-
iency. 1t is transported some IA miles
to Cassville and there hurled upon a
shuddering and expectant world as
the Index, simon-pure, of which there
is no other like it. And so on.
The facts are these:
A few years ago Mr.. Foley decided
that getting out a paper at CassVllie
was no longer worth while. He merg-
ed his list with the Bloomington Rec
ord and took the back page of that
paper calling it the Index. Later on
the name of the page was changed TO
1.-The Cassville Section" The pre-
tense of publishing a Cassville paper
was maintained. 1t is still so main
tanned.
Whatever dalusions Mr.. Foley or his
ccnfrere may have on the subject, the
BLOOMINGTON Record is the Blooming
TON Record. 1t is a paper published
81 Bloomington and not at CasSvllle,
lancaster or Fennimore. 1t is no
more a Cassville paper because It's
back page publishes Cassville items
than the Herald is a Potosl paper oe-
cause its back page carries Potosl
items or the Fennimore Times a Ian
caster paper because its back page
carries Lancaster items. Or no more
tkan any paper becomes by 5omc leaf
of legerdemain another town paper
because it carries items from that
town. The only way Cassyille can
have a paper is to have paper pub
lished there or at least issued there
as a local paper and not as the tau
end of some other paper.
The Herald has no objection II lMr.
Foley wants to kid himself and pre-
tend he is publishing Cassvllle pa
ner. He can go as far as he llkes anu
not hurt our feelings any. He doesn [
fool us and we don't believe he fools
anvbodv else. But if it makes ann
feel good he can go as far as ne likes
and our blessing goes with MN.

The value of this book rests in the
ability of the autho rto discuss briefly
and with the authority which comes
by actual experiences. the big business

Because his book is a new publica-
ton and because several schools will
use it as a textbook, interest centers
up the authors modern viewpoint

words IN presenting his subject. and
1 believe that it is as completely
covered in A224 pages as many authors
would do in twice the space.
Professor Tallcott gives his purpose
for writing the book as follows: THE
purpose Of the book IS to set forth
a comprehensive classification Of the
different ways OF presenting various
types of literature. taking into con-
sideration, the authors purpose and
the class of audience to be enter

classification can be made and that
1t may become a useful guide in
maintaining a standard Of consistency

If a man six feet tall weighs 216
pounds, man five feet tall would, if
similarly proportional. weigh 1876
pounds. Most persons will divide 216
by 6, producing SO, and, multiplying

Acting Is Essential to
Building of Suggestive Power

The author takes the position that
acting is just, as essential to the
ultimate building of suggestive power
in reading as food is to the ultimate
making of blood which feeds the
brain and produces thought. There
must first be a broad experience of
realism before the mind can begin to
create imaginative or ideal pictures. ="
The author dwells at length on the
difference between acting and public
reading.
I'm order to be a great public
reader, one must first be naturally a
good actor, although he may know
very little of the technique of acting -
In the first part of his book,
Professor Tallcott discusses acting
with regard to the play when two or
more characters are talking and then
theauthor treats the solioquy.
THE soliloquy marks the natural
transition point for the actor to de-
velop into the reader" the author
states. He still has practice in the
use Of properties and in literal action,
but he has added one new note to his
work-that of having the attention Of
the audience conferred wholly upon
himself"
Under the discussion of technique
Of presentation" Tallcott takes up
such important subjects as setting,
kinds Of furniture, properties, the
grouping of characters, mechanical
effects and lighting effects.
His discussion of the value and the
danger of certain lights is to me one
Of the most valuable parts of his
book.
He also gives much valuable infor.
nation on the business known as the
"stage fall"
