managed to survive throughout
the years in the hearts of some.
About three years ago in New

to his surroundings. Among
other things he was rather small
and because of this he could not
travel quite so fast as the other
angels and was always late for
evening prayer, knocking the
wings of all the other angels as
he hurried into place.
1t seemed as if his robe was
never pressed, and that halo was
forever causing his trouble slip
ping first to one side and then
the other or possible falling COM
pletely off and rolling down
heavenly street so that he must
chase it. 1t was finally decided,
however, that the time had come
when he must face justice and
the littlest angel was sent to the
understanding angel of the King
dom of God.
When he met this kindly fell
low he tried by the engeniOus
method of withdrawing his head
in to the neck of his robe, to
make himself as small as pos
sible. Soon, he found himself
seated on the lap of the Under
standing Angel telling him some
of his troubles. 1t wasn't that the
Kingdom of God was not a
beautiful place, but there wasn't
anything for little angel to do
if only he could have that little
box that he had left under his
bed when he had left home, then
he would be happy. The Under
standing angel thought back
through the years of his child
hood, and he, too, remembered
of the good times he enjoyed as
a young boy, and so he sent a
fleet winged messenger to bring
to the littlest Angel his treasur-
ed box.
In the days to come it was
noticed by all the change that
had come over the Littlest Angel
and how he certainly acted as
an angel was expected to act.
AS the eternal time passed, it
came to be that the world was
to be blessed with coming of the
Christ Child, and that all the
Angels of Heaven would give a
gift to the new born child. When
this wonderful day of days came
all the Angels laid their gifts be-
fore the throne of God, and the
littlest Angel placed among all
the beautiful treasures of the
universe, his little box, his gift
to Jesus. But when he looked
again at his gift he suddenly
realized how poor and shabby his
contribution was beside all the
others, and he wished violently
that he might retrieve it before
it was seen by God.
He rushed toward the throne
only to trip and land in mis-
cradle heap at the foot Of God.
AS he looked up he saw, that
from all the gifts that had been
presented, his had been chosen.
And in this little box were the
treasures of his childhood, a blue
birds egg, a smooth white round
stone, found on tho banks of the
river, a tooth, a leather strap,
which at one time was worn by
his mongrel dog, and in the very
bottom, there was a beautiful
golden butterfly which he had
captured on the high hills above
Jerusalem. The Littlest Angel
saw the hand of God take his
gift and carry it into space to
shine on a lonely stable in Jeru-
salem. But before this was done
God had said, THAT of all the
gifts this pleased him the most
for it represented the heavenly
Kingdom, and also earth and

POLITICAL REEDOM

FOLIIICALF FREEDOM
THEST. United League made its debut in Christ
t1anSted and Frederiksted on September IL and Is, reSpec-
lively as a political party interested in diScouraging the prac-
tee OF individuals running for membership in the Municipal
Council, but instead to be sponsored by an organization with
a platform: A political party in a democracy is a step which
may be taken easily and without fear. People have a right to
assert themselves politically, except behind the Iron Curtain.
FOR YEARS this place has been. without anv semblance
OF political unity. Contrary to everything seen everywhere
the system here is that each person launches forth on his own
fights his own battles, and thus presents what to hin is the
proper solution to everything Nothing could be more un-
satisfactory. 1t is bewildering, to say the least. Frequently
candidates know little or nothing of what is taking place.
There is no coordination, no relation to anything else or any
body else, no platform, no philosophy-nothing.
H PATTERN has been that anyone, 81 wears Of age
or over, can decide that he wants to sacrifice" his welfare on
behalf of his fellowmen. Thereupon he gets the required num-
Der of signatures, and he is on his way to becoming a repre-
sentative Of the people. 1t is our belief that such a system
should be changed considerably. First, a political party
would breathe new life in the political structure. An organized
group could more effectively function for the welfare of the
Island than can an isolated Individual. Through a group, a de-
finite plan and program could be laid down, and those who
are in agreement can then align themselves with the move
ment and find the support and cooperation necessary for ef-
fective action.
POLITICIANS and leaders need have no fear of a party,
providing that there is the basic and initial intention to place
service above sell. In fact, leaders should welcome the oppor-
tunity to work with and help promote organized action, and
it is usually an indication Of weakness when complaints come
from certain quarters.
WHATEVER ORGANIZED group goes to work should
have the welfare Of the island at heart, and this should be a
challenge to everyone to help make his contribution by shar-
ing in constructive suggestions and work. There is a real op-
portunity for a genuine contribution through cooperation. and

Corn War Gives
Production Data

The Virginia North Carolina
corn war, in which Virginia
emerged victorious, brought to
light several points of interest.
For example, one Virginia
farmer proved it is possible to
raise as much as 1872 bushels of
corn to the acre and became the
States 1850 corn king.
The corn king, Nathan D. Brown,
farm manager for the Lutheran
Children's Home at Salem, fol-
lowed a system of close planting,
heavy fertilization and shallow
cultivation. He got results, but
nothing was said about the costs
Of his system.
Bland County, in the Southwest
section of Virginia. had the top
production average for the State.
With only 4.800 acres planted to
corn. Bland harvested at the rate
OF go bushels to the acre.
In Northern Virginia. Loudoun
County produced 1,658,8O0 bushels
on 28,600 acres for a 58-bushel-
per-acre average, while South
ampton. Virginia's largest .,.oduc-
ing county, grew 1.876,800 bushels
on 39.100 acres. or an average Of
only '48 bushels per acre.
Virginia's corn efficiency has
improved since the First World
War. In 1917. the State planted
its largest acreage iii corn of lec-
ord-2,040,000, and produced 49,
$4,000 bushels for a z4.5-bushel-
per-acre average.
Last year with only 117,000
acres in corn. it produced 51,7G3,-
900 bushels.
