HIS SERVICES NEEDED

AT the primaries on Tuesday. August
III, the Democratic voters of Knox
, county will be accorded the privilege
, of helping to choose the Democratic
nominee for congress in the new Sew
.enteenth district. OF the candidates
whose names will appear on the Demo
cratic ballot for the nomination, appar-
emily the most interest centers around
Mr.. Ashbrook. He is now representing
the old Seventeenth district in con
gress, and has made record for doing
things for his constituents that has
given him an exceedingly favorable
reputation in the new district. He
lives just over the Knox county line at
Johnstown, Licking county, and enjoys
a large acquaintanceship in Knox
county. The fact that he is such a
close neighbor makes him almost a
home candidate, and this greatly en-
shances the interest in his candidacy
in Knox county His interest in Knox
county has had very substantial IL
!ustration by the action he has in
augurated to secure "A public building
for Mt. Vernon. 1t Is the interest that
Congressman Ashbrook takes in behalf
OF those whom he represents that gives
MIN the great strength he possesses
with the people He has been in con
gress long enough to take a ranking
position among the leading members
and to hold influential membership on
the important committees. His mem
bership on the committee on public
buildings and chairman of sub-com
mittee is a guarantee that the bill for
public building for Mt. Vernon will
pass congress- 1t Is important how
ever, that Mr.. Ashbrook be sent back
10 congress. His large experience and
great influence are too important al
this time to be lost to the people Of
Knox county. He is needed there moi
only to put through tho bill providing
for a 100000 government building fol
Mt. Vernon, but for the many things Q
congressman OF his experience ant
Willingness can do in behalf of the
people he represents No doubt the
Democrats OF Knox county will re
spond strongly at the primaries In be
half OF Congressman Ashbrook's re
nomination

When Barn On The George
Farm Was Destroyed By Fire

A most disastrous fire occurred at 9
o'clock Monday morning on the viii
liam George farm, located on the Kin

The fire was of unknown origin. 1t
appeared to have started in the horse
stalls and had gained such headway
when discovered that the entire in.
terror was mass of flames and it was
impossible to rescue the horses and
the calves. About twenty tons of hay
and as much straw, also harness and
farm implements were destroyed
There was sufficient insurance to GOV.

horse, which was very valuable ami

money.
