ade shipping through the Panama
Canal and interrupt trade in har-
bors as far north as New York
and Boston, thus threatening SER
lously the security of the United
States in a time of great crisis.
Pursuant to this alarming APP
praisal of enemy capabilities, ser-
ious negotiations to acquire these
Islands were begun. On August 4,
1916 the. then Secretary of State,
Robert Lansing, met in New York
City with Danish Minister Con-
stantin Brun to sign a treaty agree
ing to the purchase of the Danish
West Indies for Is million dollars
in gold. This treaty was ratified
swiftly by both countries and on
March II, 1917, the impending
transfer was announced to the
people of these Islands by the Dan
ish Acting Governor Henri Ko-
now.
The significant words of that
proclamation were these:
In the firm conviction that the
welfare of the islands best
can be promoted and devel-
oped through a connection
with the United States Of
America. we have con-
cIuded a convention with the
President Ct the United States
respecting the cession Of these
Islands -.
Fourteen days later--on March
81, 1917--the actual transfer was
formally observed in widely sepa-
rated biographies. The first cere-
mony occurred in the large diplo-
matte reception room Of the then
joint State, War and Navy Depart
ments building in Washington.
There, Secretary Of the Treasury
William Gibbs McAdoo delivered
Ia warrant for Is million dollars
to Danish Minister Brun, smiling
" explaining that he offered the
check in lieu of delivering the gold
which weighed nearly 4S tons.
AS this first real estate transac-
ton in the United States Virgin
Islands was concluded, the Navy
flashed a signal to Commander
Edwin T. Pollock of the USS Han
cock, then in these waters. Upon
its receipt, only 20 minutes later,
simple but impressive transfer
ceremonies began in the presence
Of a multitude of spectators gath

Building, which is now used by

When buying a honeydew, look
for creamy yellow or off-white

Color is no indication of ripeneSs
in crenshaws, though a velvety
feeling is. Ripe crenshaws have a
lovely sweet aroma, especially at
room temperature.
While Persian melons s h oul d
have a bright fresh look, the color
and feel aren't important. Ever n
though it is ripe, a Persian will
have little aroma.
Casabas, too, have little aroma
when ripe, but color is one more
a clue to ripeness. 1t should be
mostly yellow with possibly a wash
of green at the stem end. If the
rind is definitely white-green the
melon was picked while immature.

Labelling Law Guards
Users Of Chemicals

Farmers can protect both them
selves and the consumer by read
ing and needing the labels ON con-
tainers of agricultural chemicals.
The label is your best guard
against misuse, according to Kent
County agent, George Vapaa. Fed
eral law requires labels to specify
uses and give directions that won't
result in toxic residues in food or
feed regardless of the type o
chemical involved.
Check the label when you buy
any farm chemical 1t should tell ::
1. Complete directions for USE
2. Poison labelling if the product
is "highly toxic to man."
3. Precautionary warnings t o
prevent injury to persons, animals
or vegetation. This warming may
appear separately or in addition to
the required poison labelling.
4. Statement of ingredients,
5. Net weight, volume or meas
ure of contents.
6. Name, brand, or trademark.
z. Name and address of manu-
facturer or selling agency.
Every legally-sold chemical con-
tains all that information. If it ism t
there, don't buy the chemical. Or
if it is a stored supply with the
label gone, burn or bury it. 1t you
suspect a label to be out of date,
check with the seller. In case of
further doubt, ask your count ag-
ricultural agent. He has up-to-date
information on farm chemical uses.

With this in mind let us picture
to ourselves mirror hanging in
the vestibule of a church, and let
us imagine that we can catch re-
Elected in it the moral and the
mental attitudes of all who enter
there
Look, here comes I. M. Grumpy
and his good-or not so good
wife. / wonder if it is something
they had for breakfast that makes
them look like they were having a
funeral i1 their soul. They look
neither to the right nor to the left;
they speak to no one except to
voice a surly- rebuke to a child
who happens to get in their way.
| imagine this child felt like an
other child similarly rebuffed who
added these words to her Sunday
evening prayer: 80 God, make all
people good, and please, God, make
all good people nice" Too many
professedly good people are not at
all nice, and this has hurt h e
church.
Just few steps behind Grumpy
and his grumpier wife, like sun
shine following a dark shadow,
come Mr.. and Mrs. R. U. Friendly.
The seeming question of their
initials and their name is answer
ed in the affirmative by the glow
of good cheer radiating from their
smiling faces. They have a warm
handshake and a cordial greeting
for all and for this Sunday at least
other worshippers because tn Y
have come to church. They make
1T a point to welcome strangers
and invite them to come again;
they voice inquiries concerning
any who may be ill or away; they
commend the pastor for his mes
sage and his work Fortunate, in
deed, is any Congregations GAS
many folks like that
And now, in summary of all l
have tried to say to you today, /
offer this challenging soliloquy: l
am your church. Make me what
you will, for / reflect you like a
mirror. If I seem grumpy and cold,
do not condemn me, for / am what
you and others like you make me
to be. On the other hand, if I am
attentive and alept, cordial to @c-
quaintances and fri e dly to
strangers; if I am r2erent in
worship and appreciative of what
others and my pastor do for me,
I am only reflecting back what
you and those like you make me
to be. l am the sum total of all

their moral and spiritual level.

How To Shop For
An EofobIe Melon

Saying "eenie meenie mimi mo"
is one way of picking a melon at
your produce counter, but know
ing how to shop for a fine, frag-
rant melon will get you lots more
your melon money.
Whenever possible, buy at "a
produce counter in charge of am
experienced fruit and vegetable
buyer. A good produce man buys
according to grade and brand; he
knows quality produce by look s,
smell, theft" He takes pride n
supplying good merchandise.
Between now and the end of
October there will be a delicious
variety of muskmelons, not only
the mighty cantaloupe, but small
er amounts of casabas,. crenShaws,
honeydews and Persians. All mel
ons should be harvested when
"firm-mature." This means sweet
ness shipment. Since they are re-
frigerated in transit, they are usu-
ally still firm and not as juicy as
they could be when they are put
on sale in the store.
For this reason, try to anticipate
your melon needs. Keep a two or
three day supply ON hand in your
own home, so that you will be able
to condition" your melons before
using them. Let them develop sue
culence and fragrance at room
temperature first, then, if neces-
sary, refrigerate them until served.
The signs of prime quality are
not the same for all muskmelons.
A very good cantaloupe is covered
with a well raised, coarse, grayish
network. The background under
this webbing is family yellow. A
cantaloupe picked at the right time
separates from the stem with only
the slightest pressure. This leaves
a smooth, shallow rounded depres-
sion in the melon = one of the

Did you ever see looking glass
in the entry hall of a church? /
am quite sure that you did not.
Having one there might lead to
serious traffic problems Sist r
Pretty and her kind would pause
too long before it to tuck away
some whisks of hair that have
gone astray, to put a few more
pats of powder upon a saucy but
shining nose, or to add another
smear of red to lips already bios
soming mighty like a rose.
Equally fastidious, Brot h er
Primpy, looking into the mirror,
would halt the flow of the faithful
into the sanctuary to flick from
his shoulders scattered flakes of
dandruff that do not match his
suit, to pull a recalcitrant tie to a
more becoming angle, or even to
comb stringy strands of hair from
just above his left ear across his
shiny pate to his right ear in a
futile gesture to cover his very
evident badness.
For these and other re1at d
reasons / know of no mirror that
went to church" except in IN e
pockets or purses of the gathering
worshippers. But it might not be
a bad idea if someone were able
to devise a looking glass h a t
would reflect back to our vision
not the face or the attire, but the
attitude of all who come to the
house of God. Of course, no one
will ever fashion glass with
such miraculous powers. If they
could and did it might be EN-
barrassing to you and to me to
look into it when we go to church.
Embarrassing in this that it would
give us a new discernment of how
our faults and our foibles must
look to others. Sensing this, it
would be fitting for US, retaining
his inimitable Scotch dialect, to
say with Robert Burns:
80 wad some Power the giftie

To see ourselves as others see
