"There are many lines ot publicity that the country store can use

that it the money spent each year
for fancy calendars and other

STROM M FOR CONGRESS
Earls Osadidacy Baeksd kf Beeord lor
Aehiavemtats
The candidacy of Congressman
J. Banks Kurtz for renomioation
by the Republicans of the Twenty-
first congressional district, composed of Blair and Bedford counties, is backed by a record of
achievements seldom equalled by
a new member of congress.
Never in tbe history of Blair county has any representative from
the district of which the county
formed part, had such a high
place in the halls of congress ss he.
Mr. Kurtz started off his work
by rendering every service, great
or small, ..in a moet painstaking
and thorough manner. No request or suggestion from a constituent was too small or too largo
to be given his undivided attention, and no suggestion as to the
stand he should take on any of
the problem of tbe day passed by
unnoticed or without thoughtful
consideration.
The duties ot a congressman
are manifold. Mr. Knrtz is an
inveterate worker. Ever since
he went to Washington, be has
been at work. When congress
assembled, be was placed on one
of tbe most important committees
in the body, the judiciary, of
which Andrew J. Volstead bad
once been chairman. Tbis committee handles important work
and Mr. Kurtz has been into the
work, figuratively speaking, "up
to the elbows."
__ **fihe achievements of a congress
man affect many people. The
affects must be either favorable
or adverse. Mr. Kurtz knows
tbe people in Blair and Bedford
counties; be knows their wants.
He bas conscientiously endeavored to do for them that which
would be best for tbem. He hss
accomplished wonders fpr many
individuals. They know it.
They will stick to him.
He has accomplished much tor
the people as a whole. They
know it. They are uot going to
cut off a useful man, with experience and high standing in congress and start all over again with
a new man. Pensioners know
wbat he has done for them.
Farmers know that when his vote
was cast for turning the Muscle
Shoals over to Henry Ford, they
would get cheaper fertilizer and
save the nation a bill of $150,000
000 every year.
And so one could go on with
enumerations of what he has done.
What he haa done, he can continue to do, only with more power
as he grows in years of exper
ience in the lawmaking body.
The standing of the congressman
is high. His colleagues bave
faith in him. His influence is
wide spreading. He can thus
accomplish tor his constituency
great things.
The constituency in Blair and
Bedford counties will rally to his
support on April 22 and renominate bim by an overwhelming
majority.
