ceive Concert Program
Sent Out At Night

The Mt. Vernon Telephone Co, has
ordered equipment for Installing a
modern wlreiess telephone rece ivinu
station, according to announce ement
made by General Manager Frank j..
Van voorhis today.
The equipment is expected to arrive
In Mt. Vernon the latter part of this
month.
In regard to the installation of the
wireless telephone receiving station.
Manager Van Voorhis made the fol.
lowing statement to The Daily Banner
this morning:
THE Mt. Vernon Telephone Co. has
been following very closely the devel.
opment In the wireless telephone dur.
ing the past year and some time ago
placed orders for a complete receiving
station.
ut. is planned to make this outfit
available for the use of the subscrib.
ers in every way possible. Develop.
ments are being made SO rapidly in,
this line that it is hard to plan ahead.
The Ohio State university, in conjunc-
tion with the Farm Bureau fedora.
tion, is constructing high power
broadcasting station, which it is ex-
pected will be ready for operation
sometime after the first of April OF
this year.o From this station 1t Is
planned to broadcast daily crop re.
ports, prices of farm products, wealth
er reports and many items of inter-
est to the public and especially the
farmers.
"A high power broadcasting station
at Chicago, Is sending out daily pro.
gram at this time which will be avail.
able to receiving, stations in Mt. Ver-
non.
"The telephone company plans to
receive these reports, especially after
the State university station is in op-
Grafton, and have them on file daily
as received, at the various exchanges
OF the company in the county, for the
benefit of the subscribers who care to
call in for, them. 1t will, Of course, be
possible to receive the copcert pro-
gram which are being sent out every
night from Pittsburgh, Philadelphia,
Chicago. Detroit. Newark, N. j., and
many other places.
very few people realize the won
derful possibilities of the wireless
telephone, and no one can predict the
future development. Dealers in wire
less equipment are simply deluged
with orders and 1t is almost lmpos.
sible TO secure any equipment under
two or three months. One wholesale

the local Columbus theatres and ex-
poets to furnish concerts nightly this
summer.
I'VE predict that in the very near
future It will be possible for anyone
to talk from a broadcasting station in
Columbus to, the entire state of Ohio
at one. time, because at the rate re-
ceiving sets are being insta''ed. the
entire country will be covered in
