The driving power over him may be
the interest in his business, or 1t may
be the driving power which Is vested
In his superior In Office.
II there is anything wrong with the
power in either case, whether II Is that
which drives belt or that which spurs
a man along, neither can transmit
much powers
Again, belt may have plenty Of
power behind IL, and have good con-
tact with 1t, and set transmit poorly.
Ii must have a good contact with the
driven pulley.
The belt should be we'll seasoned
That Is, a new belt never drives so
well As IL does after 1t has run awhile.
II may not be cut squafely and be
well joined. The speed may be too
low. The pulleys too small. The DIS
lance between pulleys mny be wrong
30 u IS with man. Many men have
plenty Of power behind them, and
keep in close touch with il, bnt they
are poor transmitters Of TINT power.
Like the new belt, the new man may
be gfeen-too new, Ms 1t were, for
awhile-until he gets his bearings and
fits the place lie must also be square
SC he can deal squarely with the vnfi-
Gus forces below him. lie must also
have a reasonable gait 10 cover his
beats we'll. One mun WIS 80 slow In
talking up cloth belt that Il shrunk
and ii was necessary 10 mol only put
back the piece which was cut out, but
he had TO put in foot more before he
could get the belt back on again. And,
then, like the belt that has good con
tact with the driven pulley, SO u man
will accomplish much and transmit
full power when he keeps in close
touch with his men, and knows how
To come into proper contact with them.
The man who knows how 10 properly
gauge the distance he should maintain
between his CO workers will get more
power transmitted.
The man who gives his orders prop
erly and then gives his help chance
10 work them out will gain more than
one who is continually standing over
them and naRging them To the break
ing point. But the too-faf distant man
Is no better.
Again, like toe pulleys which may
be too large OF too small "a man should
not feet too large nor Too small for his
place. He should gauge his relative
position we'll. He should not undulN
make his men feel loo large, and thus
make them feel unduly dissatisfied.
ON the other hand, he should neve
make man feel too small. Many
"small mar could do better than tbs
so.caled "large MAN. If given
chance. Like The small belt viii
large pulleys and high speed, 1t car
then do the work Of lafgeF belts. 30
man may learn great deal from tn,
belt. 1t is question OF relative con
neeiions and proper dimensions.

There is also the slack belt and the
slack man, The ugh. belt, and the stiti
man who cannot bend OF who cannot
get down TO Things. An overloaded
belt and the overloaded man are both
disadvanlageons 10 the machinery Of
progress. Equally undesirable is the
under-loaded belt and the man who
has too little TO do. Both will sway
and shake and have every appearance
OF working much, but are only killing
time.
There are also belts not adapted, like
leather belts In damp places, and belts
that do not fit like those too wide Tor

the puileys. SO there are many men

The efficiency 81 man Is much the
same ~ that Of belt. Both are very
closely reIaled. The belt cannot pro-
duee anything without The man,
neither can the man accomplish much
without The belt.
When both are IN good condition, a
high order Of efficiency is the result.
Ia fact, man is much like belt.
The relative points are similar. For
example, bell can transfer power

Agreement Reached with Agent of
 WooIen Company.

The striking spinners of the Put nam Woolen company met the agent, Silas M. Wheelock. Wednesday after noon and came to an agreement The men will go back to work this morn ing. What the nature of the agree ment was was not given out. The men quit work last Thursday noon. It is understood that they were dis satisfied with the wages they were making on piece work and demanded a guarantee of S10 per week if a man ran one jack or SIP a week if two jacks were run. The weave shop ran few days after the spinners went out. but on account of being short of yarn the mill has been practically shut down this week.

 There is lively interest in the field 0dS O1 lllC ulncIl 10 be held on the high school field this afternoon if the weather man hands out a good day and it is a slogan in Putnam that the sun always shines for the firemen.

The parade will start at 1 o'clock.
 Why Bryan Failed to Come.
 It is doubtful if many people in the city and surrounding towns know how very near they came to seeing and hearing William J. Bryan during Chautauqua week. Only a few hours train service was what stood in the way of the distinguished statesman's coming here. Mir Bryan was sched- uled to speak in Stamford Sunday af- ternoon, August +2t ands planned to reach Putnam at S.13 p. n.. via New London. He was obliged to be back in Washington early Monday morn ing and as it was impossible for him, even with the aid of an automobile, to do better than catch the 1.2O a. m train out of Providence, which would not have gotten him to Washington before noon, the plan had to be aban- doned.
