Probably at no previous period in the history of this country has pubilcity been sO vatil an element of business success as it is at the present time. It is the greatest stimulus to trade that could possibly be devised, and, in our day, enters largely into every avenue of profitable activity. Publicity is the power-house of business prosperity. GUARANTEE OF BANK DEPOSITS. The basic idea of the guarantee of bank deposits is wrong, because its inevitable tendency is to relieve the management of a bank of the individual responsibility that now rests upon them, because it destroys the premium of reputation and security that now may be earned by faithful and conservative management, and puts the reckless banker on a par and even permits him an illegitimate advantage in bidding for deposits, as against his conservative competitor.

The only proper guarantee of deposits in Federal or State banks is in the laws which govern banking operations, and the effectiveness of the inspection and supervision by which these laws are enforced, by Federal or State banking -always plus the individual integrity and financial sagacity of the directors and officials of each bank, which, after all, is the fundamental and chief guarantee which every depositor seeks and accepts.Phila. Eve. Bulletin. ADVICE TO TRUCK GROWERS. Truck growers who annually plant a considerable acreage of potatoes are warned by the Department of Agriculture that there was on January 1, 1915, a very much larger supply of northern-grown potatoes in the hands of growers and dealers than was the case January 1, 1914.

Experience has demonstrated that a large hold-over crop of northerngrown potatoes which is in good condition and selling at a reasonable price when the early truck-crop potatoes reach the market means low pricessometimes so low that the shipment of such crops nets a loss to the grower. Under such conditions a small acreage means a smaller loss than a large acreage. With 43,000,000 more bushels of potatoes in sight January 1, 1915, than were available at the same time last year and with a 1915 price of 43.2 cents as compared with 66.2 cents a year ago, a price which under the then existing conditions did not improve before the truck crop began to move, there is little hope that the conditions will be better this year. The price now is just about 33 per cent. less than it was a year ago.

The distribution of the crop is much better than last season; so theere is little likelihood that the price of hold-over stock will reach last year's mark even by the end of the storage period. BANISH WORRY AND LIVE LONG. A man who died recently in New York City at the age of one hundred and one years is said to have ascribed his longevity to his freedom from worriments. If an untroubled mind is the requirement for prolonged life there is little wonder that SO few human beings are these days reaching the century mark, let alone passing it. Worriments seem to be very common among persons who have passed the age at which they consider their actual usefulness in the world to have ended.

Many very old persons let their thoughts dwell too much perhaps, on coffins and graves and tomb-stones. Holmes, in his "Over the Teacups," says that after sixty years of age there begins to be something personal about the stern sentence of the burial service concerning the limit of three score years and ten. An octogenarian, according to Holmes who was himself an octogenarian when he made the declaration, reads with a great deal of interest, mingled with hope, of persons who have sefely passed ninety. The Dictator to the Teacups especially delights in telling of the centenarian who ably responded to a toast at a birthday dinner given in the aged man's It is doubtful whether most persons would prefer to hear at the end of the prescribed three score years and ten the fatal "No more" from "the God of bounds who sets to seas a shore." Yet surely it is more comfortable these days to be oid than it was in the times when there were no spectacles for failing eye-sight, no ear trumpets for defective hearing, no artificial grinders for toothless mouths and no soothing tobacco for idle hours. If any age is more favorable than another for the happy existence of centenariaus it must be this one.

The meeting of the requirements about the worriments is not easy but it fight be tried to advantage by aspirants for long ilfe. WORKING ONE'S WAY THROUGH COLLEGE. Although the expenses of sending a boy or girl through college are steadily increasing, yet the number who work their way through seems to be gaining as fast or faster. It is one of the fine things about college life, that students who are working their own way seem to stand well socially. They may not get as many invitations, simply because they are carrying papers or driving grocery wagons at times when their classmates are hanging around the society rooms making friends.

But no stigma attaches to work. Social lines may divide their parents in their home town. But young people are more generous than grown ups, and are not apt to draw arbitrary lines of distinction. Young people who wor their own way get quite as much out of college as anyone else. They may not acquire quite as much of the social polish that comes from tea-tables and chapter houses.

But they are living a life et earnest effort, which always brings reward. The average college boy, financed by a generous father, can hardly be said to live a life of carnest effort. He drills along in the regular goosestep, and can pass his marks without any strenuous exertion. He does put earnest effort into his athletics, which has its value. But whether running at top speed to reach first base helps a boy tackle the hard drudgery of supporting a family later on, is an open question.

It would seem as if the person who has worked his way through college were entitled, not merely to whatever homors he may win on his scholastic standing, but to some special mark of distinction. Certainly his achievement is infinitely greater than that of the student who has simply used the tools which parents have bought and paid for. $15,000 BARN FIRE. The large barn of F. P.

Meckas of Long Pond, Monroe County, was completely destroyed by fire on Friday morning with a loss of about $15,000 partially covered by insurance. The barn contained 14 horses, valued at about $3000, and enough hay and oats to feed them until summer. These horses were those used by Mr. Meckas and E. P.

Arbogast of Stroudsburg for road building. The barn also contained a considerable amount of farming and road machinery, which Mr. Meckas had stored for the winter. It also contained the harness and a number of the road wagons, which he used in road building. The fire is a serious set back to Mr.

Arbogast, who is preparing to start work on his New Jersey contract awarded him last week. EASTER REUNION. A very pleasant time was held at the home of Charles Young on Easter Day in the way of reunion of brothers and sisters. Those present were Eddie Epp of Blackwood, N. Mr.
