WIRELESS TELEGRAPnY

How many people in the state of
Mississippi have had the chance totsee
a wireless telegraph station and. be
shown how it works? Very few indeed,
although practically all have read
something of this great invention and
marveed at it's accomp ishment. Wis
itors to the Exposition will have OPP
portunity OF seeing one, built and oper-
ated by our home folks.
Chancellor ]. N. Powers of the State
University stated at the educational
conference in Gulfport recently that
the University would install wireless
station on the Exposition grounds and
operate it during the Centennial. 1t
will be erected and operated by stu
dents OF that great state institution,
Grown in Mississippi boys
The station will have capacity of
receiving messages sent from similar
stations thousand miles away Time
will be received each day from the
government station at Arlington Va,
in the suburbs of Washington, approx
imately thousand miles in an air
line. Communication wi / also he had
with Key West, Fla, Galveston, Tex,
and other points.
This progressive move on the part
of the University will be doubly ap-
preciated by the people of Mississippi
as well as our guests from other
states. Few were aware that such adj
vanced methods were in use by our
home institutions and this will bring
that fact to the attention of many who
otherwise would be long time in
learning of 1t.

The organization of Commercial

money to run commercial club but
the benefits brought back direct and

make this assertion recklessiy a6 all

A tar plant or turpentine extract

which Leakesville and Greene coun.

kind. OF course there have been
some failures on such plants due to
bad management. But let us look
