LEGION TO BOOST
HOME MADE GOODS
Service Men Planning Unique
Feature for Industrial
Exhibit.

One of the interesting features in con-
Meeting with the circus TO be he'd from
May 81 to June 5 by the American
Legion will be an industrial exposition.
In this exposition it is planned to show
all kinds Of goods made or sold in Will
mington and il is expected that the
exhibit because IL will collect in one place
so many different kinds Of wares will add
greatly to the good name and fame Of
industrial and mercantile Wilmington.
The plans thus far advanced show that
there will be booths, leading into the
"big top" of the circus, which will be
limited in number to one hundred, so
that it will be possible to show the out
put of all the leading industrial and mer-
camille houses, though naturally, the
number of booths will not provide space
for all concerns which do business ere.
This exposition is expected TO be on
of the biggest incentives to the Buy IN
Wilmington" movements and as wares
will be displayed by business establish
ments from other parts of the State and
peninsula, it will be an exhibition that
will show the industry and commerce OF
the whole State and surrounding parts
Of the country.
Business establishments which are
planning to enter the exposition are al
ready arranging for their space and lay
ing their plans TO make their individual
displays as comprehensive as can be
managed in limited space.

Dover, April 20.-Last Saturday.
Republican primaries in Kent county have
left anything but a feeling of harmony
and contentment among the rank and
of distrust and lack of confidence among
certain so-called leaders. Particularly
keen is the disappointment in the first
Representative district, including the
two districts in Smyrna, where George
W. Cunning, a lifelong party worker and
resident of the town, was defeated as a
member of the county committee by
Vernon A. Westfall by about hundred
votes Ii is alleged that Westfall has
resided only one year in Smyrna, has
never voted in the district and is new
man to many of the voters.
Cunning is secretary of the retiring
county committee and because Oh his
prominence in the district has frequently
been mentioned as candidate Tor Repre-
sentative in the Legislature.
In the second election district of
Smyrna, the contest between John l..
Bradley, leader of Duck Creek hundred
Republicans, and Walter Ford resulted
in the defeat of Ford, who many weeks
ago had announced himself as a candidate
for the county committee, and was looked
upon as a man intent upon purifying the
Republican politics of Duck Creek hum
dred, thing much needed according to
many of the leading politicians of that
locality
