Be a Head
BOOkkeeper

In the beginning OF 1912 a young
man enrolled with Beacom's for
course in bookkeeping. saying that he
wanted to be more than an or
dinary bookkeeper, that he wanted
to be a head bookkeeper. He
selected this school, he said. because
he was acquainted with several who
had become head bookkeepers. in a
few years after finishing the Beacon
course. Upon the recommendation of
the school, he was made an assistant
bookkeeper In the Office Of a large
wholesale house two days after his
graduation. and in 1915 he was head
bookkeeper for the firm. Today he has
a business Of his own, and he con-
siders that bookkeeping course which
he pursued IN 1912 not only the step
ping stone to his success, but Of every
day use TO him now. The superior
merits OF the Beacon course In book
keeping and accounting appeal to
young men and young women who are
anxious to succeed. and they will az

from the iron Trade Review.
What is really the matter with the
railroads? is a question that is puz
zling a good many people nowadays.
Is it shortage of rolling stock, or men,
or both; or is 1t general inefficiency
that is responsible for the deplorable
conditions existing today?
OF course, the railroads could use a
great many more cars II they had
efficient men to handle them, but in
the opinion of competent observers
efficiency of many employees has de-
Perforated at least to the extent of the
advance in wages. and many of the
most desirable employees have been
attracted to other pursuits by higher
wages than the railroads are paying.
There seems also to be physical ex-
haustion and breaking down of spirit
due to the long and unprecedentedly
severe strain to which railroad en-
ployes have been subjected. After all,
questions relating to men are fully as
important as those relating TO equip
ment in the railroad situation.
What is the remedy? Cars and

IN TIME OF PROSPERITY.

From the Snow Hill Messenger.
Hoosier potatoes are bringing $1.75
per bushel in Snow Hill, and there
are good prospects for even higher
prices, despite the news from Chicago
that potatoes are being shipped to the
United States from England. The rea-
son, as everybody knows, for the high
price of potatoes. is because the mar
ket is comparatively cleaned up, and
there is none in cold storage. It is
the short crop. and the demand fot
potatoes that has made the price. II
is also very certain that the men who
plant potatoes for the early market
are going to get big prices for them.
But,
Mr.. Farmer, don't sorget that the
time is not far off when there will be
plenty of potatoes everywhere. and
the price will fall to what is consid-
cred a normal price. so now is the
time to save your wealth for the time
when prices will not be so alluring.
We do not believe the time will come
this year when the prices Of foodstuff
Will get back to the prices Of a few
years ago, but they cannot long re-
main as high as they now are.

II you owe store accounts, settle them.
Then. when you are free of debt, you

everything in the world is going
against you. you will have another
kind of feeling. You will begin to
smile, and be happy. And after all,
what else is there in life to desire, but

MANY POTATOES
NEEDED FOR SEED
Millions of Bushels Held on the
Farms to Provide For Next
Summers Crop

One of the prime reasons for the
shortage of Pennsylvania potato crop
last year was the havoc of the potato
grub, which destroyed about 4,000,-
600 bushels, according to the state
ments of crop reporters on file at the
State Department of Agriculture.
These potatoes at present prices
would be worth $15,00O,000.
The States figures which were eX-
amined to-day because of the interest
AMONG legislators in the high cost of
living, show that practically every
vegetable crop ran behind the aver
age last year. 1t is estimated that be-
tween 100000 and 100000 bushels
are still held by growers. but as they
need from twelve to fifteen bushels
to seed an acre and probably three
quarters of a million acres will be
seeded there will not be many of the
potatoes get into market. The State
potato crop was about seventy bushels
to the acre last year and there were
265,200 acres in potatoes. A large
percentage of the crop was sold for
export The crop last year was be-
tween 100000 and 100000 bushels
below that of the previous year and
10,000,000 short of that in 1914.
