DOVER DICTIONARIES
PLAN INSIDE CARNIVAL

When the Walter l.. Fox Post of
the American Legion opens the doors
of the Dover Armory for their In
door Carnival on Saturday night,
November IL, their friends in Kent
county will have the opportunity OF
enjoying seven evenings of real
sport and pleasure. The committee
headed by w. A. McWilliams is
working hard to make this event the
best indoor carnival ever seen in
Kent County, and promise the pa
irons that they will have some new
and most interesting features.
Among the new indoor attractions
will be a shooting gallery, a base
ball throwing game and a dart game.
Several innovations in the indoor
carnival game will be introduced,
patterned after some of the most
popular outdoor attractions of the
summer resorts along the Eastern
coast. Special features are being
planned for the evening entertain
ments. On one of the evenings
masquerade contest will be staged
with attractive prizes for the win
ming contestants. The committee is
endeavoring to obtain a very clever
magician for another of the evening
entertainments. The patrons will
be entertained with music every ev-
ening, and special musical numbers
will be given by clever artists.
Each evening of the carnival a
live turkey will be given free to the
holder of the lucky slip of paper,
feature that proved very attractive
at the hospital carnival last fall.
The turkey will be awarded each
night at ten-thirty O'Clock, except
Saturday nights.
The proceeds from the carnival
will go toward paying the debt OF
the Legion on their home, and it is
felt certain that all the friends OF
the American Legion will rally to
the support of the boys in this laud-
able effort to reduce their indebted
ness, and to own their own home. Ia
the past the members of the Legion
have given their active support to
every worthy cause, and have made
a most creditable record Now is the
time for the people of Kent county
to come to their assistance and help
them to make their indoor carnival
go over the top as a decided tinan-
cial success.

Lewes gunners seem to think that
ducks must be very plentiful this
season, in order that this party
could bag so many. If it hadn't of
been for the unusual good shooting
by one of the members, who is an

the ring too slippery for safety.

was the third day in succession that he
had forsaken the gloves for road work.
The usual morning run was dis
