RADIO is USED BY LEGION
Widespread Membership Of vstsrans'
Organization Reached by Ma
tionai and STATE OFFICIALS.

The voice of the American Legion
Is being heard over tho radio by mem
bers Of the organization throughout
the country. Almost daily some off,
Ger or Legion leader talks to the wide
spread membership Of the veterans
association using the wireless tele-
phone as the means Of dissemination.
This Is made possible by the lnstalla.
tion Of hundreds Of receiving sets in
the homes Of local Legion posts
throughout the country.
In practically every post may be
found some ex-service man who
worked with the wireless telephone
through the days Of the war, or who
has become an ardent fan since the
broadcasting Of regular programs
came into vogue. Officers Of the Le-
gion recognize this fact and are tax.
ing advantage OF the closer touch af.
forded them by means Of the latest
miracle"
One Of the first instances Of this
use by officers was the broadcasting Of
National Commander Alvin Owsley's
"keynote speech" from Lincoln. Neb.
This was heard by Legionnalres all
over the country, some as far away
as the Atlantic coast.
State department commanders In
many instances are beginning to make
use OF this method to reach their men,
bers. many urging the installation Of
receiving sets for this purpose.
In the future further use Of the
radio is planned. The Decoration day
address Of Commander Owsley In San
Francisco Is to be sent out by
powerful station so that Legionnalres
In the West may hear the commander
at this time. At Kansas City, Mo-,
when a new Legion home was dedl-
Gated. Commander Owsley's talk was
heard by Legionnaires Of Ave states,
who were asked to "stand by" at spe-
cial meetings to hear the Legion leader.
Followers OF radio. who are active
In the Legion. predict that within a
short time oil official utterances Of
national officers of the ex-service
mems organization will be relayed by
radio to the more than three-quarter
Of a million members throughout the
United States. And because Of the
power Of many Of the broadcasting
stations, Legionnaires In other climes
may soon be listening In" on what
their comrades at home In the states
are doing.

Thirty-six running races, with pur-

for Labor Day and eight for the fol-

Fourteen harness events are card

The purse offerings exceed $50, 900,
placing the Wheeling meeting in the
very forefront of Fair meetings in
America. The running races are not
side issue, as at so many Fairs, but
are on the same high plane as the
harness events. Separate officials, all
experts in their line, are engaged for
the two departments.
Entries already indicate that be-
