The Need Of a Man.

1t MS not very strange. but neverthe.
less impressive that the key thought
running through AFT the addresses
made both In the secular and religious
State meetings which Huntington has
been entertaining during the pas.
weeks, has been the need of a man.
Not the kind OF man who simply
wears trousers and smokes n cigar but
q man who ftifiils the definition of the
word in letter and in spirit. Not Il
speaker but has told OF his belief that
n man Is the most greatly needed
auxiliary TO present and future pro-
us one who has mid, who has body.
gress. And they have talked of man
rs one who has mind. who has body.
who has training. who has efficiency,
who has devotion. who has ambition,
who has integrity-who has all the
thousand and one distinguished quail
tiles that make oHr real manhood. The
need of n man in every vocation OF life
has been made clear. No worthy occu-
patton is less than worthy Of all the
best effort of the one who engages In
It. A worthy occupation is worthy Of
man. To talk about the need of II

son Thursday OF this week Of wireless
communication across the Atlantic for
commercial and press purposes, the
realization OF years OF dreaming and
working on the part OF the great Ital.

between which the communication was
established are Glace Bay. Nova SEQ.
tia. and CllfdeM in ireland. The
transmission of dispatches was carried
on apparently without any hitch, and
during the day ten thousand words
were sent. The messages transmitted
included "a number of congratulato,y

scientists and others Of public note.
The inventor himself is quoted as be.
