Mr. Caldwell added: "The failure to

THE STUFF Of life is made not
Of houses and clothing and such
visible things, but Of the subtler
intangibles which cannot be pur-
chased or had all at once and
which develop around us day by
day.
Ellen lNle was giving thought
to these mNtters. Buried In her
great chair covered by the woolly
rams hide, which she had already
come to love, she had books
stacked near her. Many were of
lighter reading, but some that Bill
had selected for her were of classic
import. She held now a volume Of
Emerson, and one trenchant sem
tence struck her with It's power:
Sooner or later that which is
now life shall be poetry. and
every fair and manly trait shall
add a richer strain to the song.
She didn't quite understand it,
but it was sweet even so. every
fair and manly trait shall add a
richer strain" She thought Of

had gathered around her. Besides

lied. Most Of the servants and
cowboys had been hired by Bill,
but Ellen herself had picked the
cook and other help for her home.
She did not have too much help,
and saw to it that all were kept
busy.
Her delight now was with the
"fair and manly traits" shown In
most Of them, however humble
and poor. It was, too, a source Of
pleasure to know that her original
intuitive judgment concerning Bill
himself had been bc out. He
was a mans man, an. a woman's;
q young western gentleman, not
too young and not too perfect.
Sometimes she cried a little, In
private, because he did not make
love to her. She felt that he
wanted to; and yet she never could
be quite sure when he was serious
and when he was teasing. In any
event, though, she was developing

great step in industrial management
in this country will be made by man
agement and labor working together
in the conscious development Of scien-
tific methods Of stabilizing both pro-

These methods must vary with the

Of productive capacity so desirable
can be accomplished more safely along
with the increased stability so neces-

Neither OF these can be effectively ac-

Wage earners have made great and
lasting gains in the 25-year period
since their own department was estab-

sure it is the very sincere hope Of every
good American that the years to come
continue to show further economic ad-

TERRYVILLE MEETS THOMASTON HOOPS

Terryville, Feb. 11.-Terryville fans are showing more interest in the basketball game tonight between Terryville at Thomaston high school than has been seen here in many years. Coach Joe Jablonowski has held several long workouts for his players and feels confident his team will return home with 8 victory over the Clocktowners, undefeated in 13 games.
 Terryville, without a home sur face, has been obliged to play all games away from home. In the previous contest, Thomaston was victorious by 27-22 margin. Thom- aston was hard pressed to defeat a fighting Watertown high school five last week, while only three weeks ago, Terryville handed the Silktown- CTS severe trimming. Taking into comparison the scores made by the two teams against the same teams, Terryville has Eig edge, their vic- tories over some of the teams be- ing much larger than that of the Clocktowners.
 Terryville has no outstanding stars, with every player figuring in the team work and scoring. Terry vile will be at top form for the con- test. It is expected at least 250 fans will accompany the locals to Thomaston this evening.
