Mcllenery of Pennsyl vania—one of the really big men on j the.Democratic side of the House— I is the subject of one of the leading ' artieles in the December number of the National Magazine. In this article Mr. Mcllenry is j painted as the Democrats in Con gress know him—a man of unusual ability as a statesman and there fore a man of much influence in I Washington. It is because of Mr j Mcllenry,s quiet diplomacy and good sound judgement that lie is so frequently consulted by the Democratic leaders in matters of public policy and because of his position on the all important Appropriations commit tee that lie j able to represent the people of thej Sixttenth District ol' Pennsylvania to such good advantage. •'Out in ''ie Sixteenth District of PennsyD' ma," says the National j "lives John (Jeiser Me.! Henry". He was born in Benton ; towmhip, and his ancestors re-i present the sturdy type of pionee.- which has developed the country's ; best brain and brawn. Mr. Mc- Heuery was educated in the rural public schools of Pennsylvania, and drove a lumber team in his 1 early youth, dreaming of the time when he could hangout his shingle as a lawyer. He was a practical dreamer am' realized that the lirst thing to do was to get started in business and await an opjortunity to study law. After a course at j the Orangeville Academy. lie; launched into a business career. As farmer, manufacturer, banker, and politician, Congressman M*' Henry is ,i type of Pennsylvania thrift. "II" \v:i< to the Sixtieth Congress by a i: imlsomc majority, which has been greatly increased in the two succeeding terms. A member ol the Appropriations committee, Congressman Mr- Henry's i.'ge:..c.. . s alv a\ s sought on weighty matters, and whatever MeHenrv advises goes a long way. because 1 does think out eliiug-. "On his farm home at Benton he is at his best, for if there ever was a man who loved a farm it John (i. MeHenry. His farms are under the personal supervision of Prof. 11. K. Chuhhtick, a graduate in agricultural science from the Agricultural Department of State College. State College. Pa. On these farms experimental and demonstrating work is being carried on not only for the benefit of his community, but for the entire country. Mr. Mc.llenry's belief is that the lirst important step toward the solution of the high cost of living must be found; in an increased production of our soil. His bill now pending in Congress, asking for the appoint ment of an agricultural scientist to be located in every Congressional District where rgrieulture is the I leading industry is said to be a measure of perhaps greater economic i m portal ice to the count ry than any other measure offered or! acted upon in our national j legislature in recent years. "A man of high ideas and purposes, j relentless in his energy and j enthusiasm to accomplish the things that he sets out to do, Con-; gressman Mcllenry is deservedly strong iu the affections of his eon-] stituents. You wont lind many I in the Sixteenth Pennsylvania ! district who don't approve of their Congressman's agricultural bill." Snyder—Swank. Emery E. Snyder of Flk Grove, Pa., and Miss Amelia Swank of j I'liion Springs, N. Y., were united in marriage at Miincy Valley December 1911, by Frank \V. ' Buck, J. P. The bride is ada ugli , ter of Charles W. Swank, formerly of North Mountain. Davidson ; township. Congratulations and , wwhes, r Repuplican News item's Sensational Offer.
