J. B. White & Company to
Celebrate 55th Anniversary
Efforte Being Made to Locate Patrons of the First Store.
> With unusually elaborate plans in
prospect for the annual anniversary
celebration of J. B. White and Com
pany of Augusta, the firm is endeav
oring to locate patrons of the first J.
B. White and Company store. This
store was established in Augusta in
1874 and was a partnership between
J. B. White, W. T. Anderson, and H.
W. Landrum, all young men, former
clerks in the old “Fredericksburg
Store,” operated by V. Richards.
^t is believed that there are quite
a number of the maturer generations
who remember making purchases in
this store, which was located on the
700 block of Broad Street, about op
posite the monument. Those who can
recall trading with J. B. White and
Company in those “good old days”
are invited to communicate with the
present firm.
The store is compiling a roster of
these “character patrons,” and it is
expected that much interesting data
will be brough to light. This request
is being sent to the papers of the sur
rounding section. It is puggested
that a few lines of reminisence accom
pany tha name, and that letters be
mailed a? soon as possoble.

Arab Flute Players
Masters of Melody
The flute Is the most Interesting of
all the Arab instruments and the
hardest to play. It consists of a long
reed hollowed out, about half an
inch In diameter and from two to
three feet long. It has eight stops,
but there is no wort of mouthpiece.
The sound is produced by the play
er blowing across the top of the flute
at some particular angle which I
have never been able to discover, and
producing the softest, saddest, deep
est note one can possibly imagine.
To the most unmusical, the sound
of the long flute must appeal, and
when accompanying one of those love
ballads of the South It Is enchanting.
These flutes are used to accom
pany all kinds of songs, but chief
ly those concerning the exploits of
heroes and the love lays which hold
such a big place In ail Arab melodies.
Occasidnally it la used tef follow re
ligious chants, but not always—R. V.

G RACE DENTON was as pretty
as the last pink cloud of a
summer sunset She had been
employed by the Acme com
pany for a number of years, earning
a fairly good salary, and might have
afforded better things than made-over
hats and cheap gowns, but Grace was
not on© to live each day for Itself
alone.
She realized that some day. If she
did not marry, her earning power
might diminish instead of increase,
and . she was sufficiently forehanded
to wish to fortify herself while she
was able against any such contingen
cy as that
“If 1 do not marry!” «he repeated
the words to herself as she worked,
recalling how Mollie Newcomb had
recently taken her to task for her
aloofness toward Ted Martin. Ted
was the son of Acme’s president, a
wholesome young man of twenty-five,
a college graduate and an all-around
athlete who appealed particularly to
the eternal feminine, but who treated
them all alike, that Is, all except
Grace Denton.
“Believe me,” Mollie had averred,
“If Ted Martin saw fit to smile on
me the way he does on you, I’d have
him hooked so fast he’d never know
what had happened until It was all
over but the honeymoon.”
Grace did not view this situation
through Mollie’a eager eyes. Ted Mar
tin had singled her out for special
attention since coming to act as his
father’s secretary In the Acme offices,
but Grace had her own Idea of the
valuation men In Ted’s class usually
place upon girls in hers and she had
no notion of subjecting herself to the
trying ordeal of openly repulsing this
young scion of the house of Martin,
while perchance she might lose a good
position thereby.
Only last night Ted had asked her
to go to the theater with him and
some place to dance afterward, but
bow much did she know of the sin-
place to go that was near enough to
keep ber from becoming drenched.
"Ill have to stay here until Mrs.
Pogue gets back,” she finished, after
telling him what had happened. “I
don't .know where she's gone and
every window In the home Is locked.”
“I’m not going to have you stand
out here and get pneumonia when
I’ve got a car at the curb,” Insisted
this masterful young man.'
“But what will your mother say7”
Grace asked chokingly.
“We’ll run right over and ask her!”
Ted joined Jovially.
Without further argument, he lifted
Grace in ids arms and hurried out to
his car. In a few moments, moments
in which Grace’s thoughts ran riot,
but during which no word was spoken
by either, they reached the Martin
home and Grace found herself stand
ing confusedly in the presence of the
lovely gray-haired lady who’ was
Ted’s mother.
“I—I’m sorry the door blew shut,
Mrs. Martin,” she faltered. “I—I
know I’m just a working girl, un
suited—”
“I’ve no false ideas about girls who
employ themselves honestly to earn
their daily bread,” Mrs. Martin Inter
rupted, taking the hand of the em
barrassed girl, reassuringly. . “Fur
thermore, I’ve raised my son so that
1 never need doubt his judgment
when he is ready to select a wife.
You’ve been locking him out of your
life for no reason at all, just as the
closing door locked you out of your
home.”
“But the door Just happened to
close and-*” .
“You’re wrong again,” Mrs. Martin
insisted, smiling broadly. “Mrs. Pogue
was at home, hidden in the tyail closet,
instructed to push the door shut the
moment you stepped out voluntarily
or were pulled there by my boy’s
strong arm. It was my plan. 1 could
think of no other way to get you
here for this Interview which Is to
show you just how much 1 want Ted
to be happy. There is a clergyman
waiting in the library an# Ted got
the license this afternoon.”

For Sale by
Flour From Applet
Experiments are reported of the
manufacture of flour from apples in
the Pacific Northwest, and it is felt in
some quarters that this project will
show considerable development. It
requires seven tons of apples to make
one ton of flour. A baking company
is now making and selling cookies
manufactured from this by-product.
Shipments have gone as far east as
Chicago, and the cookies seem to meet
with favor. Because the apple flour
contains no gluten, much experimenta
tion was necessary to determine the
right percentage of wheat flour to
combine with the apple product in or
der to bake properly.

young man enthused, falling into step
beside her as she was leaving the
building for lunch. “See here, Groce.“
he went on, linking his arm through
hers to guide her over a treacherous
crossing, “I might as well confess
here as any place, I want you for
Ted Martin. Any hope?”
“Are you by any chance proposing
j to me. Mr. Martin?” she asked, look-
! ing up at him soberly.
“Just that, young lady,” he assured
; her. “My mother needs a daughter,
her son needs a wife and every girl
needs a husband. If eventually, why
not now?”
They reached a popular, high-class
dining palace as Ted finished speak
ing. Still holding Grace’s arm. he pro
pelled her through the revolving door
to a table In a secluded corner, ex
actly as he might have moved a
checker to another square.
Grace was about to refuse Ted
without further reasoning, much as
she longed to say yes, but something
prompted her to ask him to wait for
his answer, and, during the weeks
that followed, she had ail she could
do to ward off the fatal day.
Finally, one day Ted announced
firmly that he w«g coming to her
rooming-house that evening after din
ner for his answer. She hqd put the
situation before him again and again
as she saw It—the cultured son of
rich parents and the poor girl so
unsuited, to walk beside bim in the
luxurious paths through which life
undoubtedly would lead him; the
aristocratic mother who, without
question, would be ashamed to ac
knowledge os daughter the lowly girl
her son had chosen, but to each and
every argument Ted furnished the
same answer.
“I love you and yon’ve . admitted
you love me. You’re honest and up
right. That’s ail my mother expects
to ask of my wife, Grace.”
Grace remained adamant, thinking
she was acting for Ted’s good. At
eight o’clock he was coming for his
answer and she would tell him they
must part. She would seek a new
position and they never must see
each other again.
Her heart was aching and her eyes
were filled with tears when the bell
rang. Mrs. Pogue, the woman with
whom she roomed, was out, so she
went to the door herself. When she
opened It and saw Ted standing there,
she stepped outside, feeling that she
did not dare subject ber failing cour
age to the Intimacy of Mrs. Pogues

concerning them.
When the little group had eaten It
self cut of provisions and found that
no ships were likely to land there any
more, they turned to cultivating the
rather barren soli. For two years they
had a hard fight for life. Fortunate
ly, they had some corn and potatoes
from their little store, and they did
well with Irrigation. The few coco
nuts that they found were also plant
ed and cultivated. In time, with econ
omy and Industry, the plots surround
ing the little dwellings looked almost
like Dutch gardens.
The soldiers and their wives had
been trained in religion at home. Cast
upon their own resources, they chose
one of their group to be their teacher
and preacher. They elected another
chief. In time they came Into contact
with the natives of the little Isle, and
with those of surrounding Islands, too.
They mastered the foreign tongue, (md
so well did the children take to the
native language that presently they
forgot their fathers’ language alto
gether. When, during the latter part
of the Nineteenth century, the forgot

of the Inhabitants was able to respond
to the Inquiries that were made to
them in Dutch. In four generations
the old tongue had been completely
lost—Washington Star.

The Ice bluffs of Kotzebue sound,
near the Bering straits, just within
the Arctic circle, are one of the
world’s wonders, and Alaskans will
ask congress to make the site a na

The bluffs, resembling high plateaus
or mass, are of solid, clear ice, cov
ered with two to three feet of soli and
volcanic ash, in which trees and shrubs
are growing. About 100 miles up the
Kobuk are still higher Ice bluffs, on
top of which are growing spruce trees
more than two feet in diameter at the
stump, also birch, alder and willow.
