out delay.

Next Monday week the teachers of
Smyrna and vicinity and all teachers
of Kent County will meet at Dover
to attend the 35th annual Institute
of Kent County. Superintendent
Carroll. one of the best and most en-
terprising superintendents the county
has ever had, has spared no pains to
get together the finest day and even
ing talent he has yet procured and
is deserving of hearty patronage. 1t
is unfortunate that Smyrna cannot
divide with Dover in having these ex-
cellent institutions. Before Dover
secured its new Opera House, Smyrna
entertained the teachers frequently.
Despite the fact that Dover is more
centrally located for the teachers of
Kent County, Smyrna should make
some effort to get it once in while
and this can only be done by the peo-
pie of Smyrna assuring Superinten-
dent Carroll that the teachers can be
comfortablely Accommodated. Smyrna's
one hotel could not accommodate all
the teachers and board would have to
be secured in our homes. Surely
there are number in Smyrna who
would be glad of the opportunity of
throwing open their homes for the
consideration they would receive.
Let the people of Smyrna come for
ward and ask for the next Institute.
Superintendent Carroll will no doubt
do his part if we will do ours.

Discussing his election today, Ig-
nacio Mariscal. minister Of foreign res

while Mexico had mo candidate for

regarded as a good selection. Madri2
has visited Mexico City and we be-
lieve him to be a man OF prudence and
honesty. In addition, he is we'll edu-
Gated and enjoys the confidence of those
who know him as is evidenced by the
fact that he was Judge of the Central

Speaking of the possible union Of
Central American republics, Mr.. Maris.
cal said:
I'VE have always believed that &
confederation of states In Central Am.
erica would be the best thing for those
countries, but this is the worst posi-
BILE time to make sucn an attempt. Il
would be'a difficult matter under th'
most favorable circumstances to find 8
man acceptable to all of the i've repub,
lies, and would be impossible undei
present conditions"
Asked what would be Mexicos at.
tftude should Zelaya attempt to boarC
the Guerrero now at Corinto, the MIN
lister said that would be a problem
that would have to be solved should Il
arise, at the same time disclaimins
any purpose in the visit of the gunboai
