FLOODS AGAIN
INUNDATE NORTH
AND EAST OMAHA
Florence Lake Out of Banks
Third Time Since March
Water Still
1 ' Rising.
N'ortb, and Kast Omaha bottom
lands are again inundated by flood
waters from the Missouri river and
Florence lake, the third time since
kst March.
Since midnight Sunday the water
has been rising at the rate of an
inch an hour.
Xo abatement was looked for be
fore last night, L. A. Welsh, in
charge of the federal weather bur
eau, said. Shortly before noon yes
terday the river showed a rise to 18
f -et. one foot less than the flood
Mage.
Heavy Rains Cause.
The flood is due to torrential rains
in western South Dakota and in ter
ritory drained by tributaries of the
upper Missouri river.
Scores of farmers and dairymen in
North Omaha worked favorably
Sunday and throughout the night
throwing up crude dikes to resist trie
rapidly rising waters. Teams of
horses were brought into use to
Jkrade embankments from Ninth to
Thirteenth streets north of Laurel
avenue.
A rude dike constructed by the
city following the flood on May 18
was not sufficient to check the
v. aters that overflowed the river
banks Sunday night, residents in
North Omaha declared.
Rescue Families.
"Several families in the extreme
north bottom lands are marooned in
their homes. A general alarm for
boats was sent out to rescue vic
tims Sunday night. In some places
rattle and hogs are isolated by the
flood waters.

AOVERTISEMENT
Thin, Nervous People
Need Bitro-Phosphate
Weak, thin people men or women
are nearly always nervous wrecks: thus
conclusively proving that thinness, weak
ness, debility and neurasthenia are almost
invariably due to nerve starvation. Feed
your nerves and all these symptoms due
to nerve starvation will disappear.
Eminent specialists state that one of
the best things for the nerves is an or
ganic phosphate known among druggists as
Ritro-Phosphate, a five-grain, tablet of
which should be taken with each meal.
Being a genuine nerve builder and not a
stimulant or habit-forming drug, Bitro
Photphate can be safely taken by the
weakest and most delicate sufferer, and
the results following its use are often
simply astonishing.
By strengthening the nerves, weak, tired
people regain energy and vigor; thinness
and angularity give way to plumpness and
curves ; sleep returns to the sleepless ; con
fidence and cheerfulness replace debility
and gloom; dull eyes become bright, and
pale, sunken cheeks regain the pink glow
of health. It is sold by Sherman & Mc
t mnell and all good druggists.
CAUTION : While Bitro-Phosphate is
unsurpassed for the relief of nervousness,
general debility, etc., those taking it who
do not desire to put on flesh should use
extra care in avoiding fat-producing foods.

The dairy farms of A. Peterson,

floods, are again inundated. Cattle
"were herded to places of safety
Sunday night.

Shortly after midnight overflow
ing water from the river bend near
Winspcar Triangle in East Omaha
began creeping up Grace and Sew
ard streets, near Tenth.
In East Omaha proper water be
gan edging toward the Omaha box
factory, the deserted white lead
works and the Pollack hog ranch.
Though tlve flood is not quite as
serious as the two former breaks at
Florence lake, practically the same
territory is inundated.
The dike thrown up by the city
prevented Sunday night's rising
waters from entering Carter Lake.

(
Deposits of $75,000 Alleged
Taken by Aurora Banker
Saved by Guaranty.
Accounts of $75,000 of the Na
tional American Fire Insurance com
pany of Omaha in the defunct
American State bank at Aurora,
Neb., have been checked by the state
banking board and are found secure,
according to James E. Foster, secre
tary of the insurance company.
A. F. Ackerman, member of the
state banking board, arrived in
Omaha yesterday to confer with offi
cials of the' National American In
surance company regarding the
$75,000 deposited in the Aurora bank
before the bank went into receiver
ship. None of the money deposited by
the insurance company is lost, Mr.
Foster stated.
"It is secured by the state guar
anty fund," he declared. "The com
pany has' more than $1,000,000 in
banks throughout the state secured
by certificates of deposit.
"Though the Aurora bank is un
der receivership, the company does
not lose its deposits." ,
The Aurora bank became bank
rupt following the disappearance

president of the bank.. The state
hanking board, checking up the ac
counts qf the bank, discovered
thousands of dollars missing.
Wenti is under indictment for al

Three days later the camp council
was carted together again at Lars'
request. They met at the "director's'
house. Lars opened without pre
liminaries. "Did you notice the other day how
bad the road was. and how it went
twisting all about?"
"I was driving," said Barton, in
bis precise way. "Certainly I no
ticed it."
"Maybe you didn't stop to figure
out why it's so crooked. There's a
creek that winds all about. If one
k;ig bridge and two little ones were
built, we could straighten the road
about eight miles, and open up seven
good big tracts of farming land. I
went to those seven farmers. Each
one agreed to give $50 toward the
building of those bridges and mak

Revelations
I really thought little Mrs. Durkec

To me,resentful of the arrange

interests me mightily, bored me to
the point of exhaustion. She de-
... ... r 11 j :i
scribed all ner gowns in iuu aeiau,
then began upon those of the bride,
as if I told myself ironically that
I did not know every stitch of the
trousseau bv heart.
"And, oh, what do you think,
Madge?" she exclaimed excitedly,
breaking off th,e description of a bit
of embroidery which she evidently
had forgotten was the work of my
own fingers, - Major Grantland
asked me last night?"
"To become the future Mrs. Ma
jor?" I asked slyly, knowing that
the little woman, long past middle
age, still liked to be teased as if she
were a young girl contemplating
matrimony. It is, of cburse, merely
a surface vanity my little neigh
bor has a fund of common sense
which keeps her from doing any
thing really foolish but those of us
who know her and love her tease
her in and out of season about every
man of her acquaintance, young or
old, knowing that she thoroughly
enjoys the gibing.
"The idea, Madge! Aren't you
awful! Why, I'm old enough to be
his mother almost " she qualified
with ludicrous haste. "What would
he think if he could hear you?"
"Probably that I was a mind
reader," I retorted carelessly, with
a mental vision of Major Grant
land's face if he could have heard
the conversation his sense of hu
mor, and his knowledge of women's
vagaries have always seemed a bit
embryonic to me "But I'll person
ate the end man of the minstrel
show if you wish. What did Major
Grantland ask you last night?"
Mother Graham Comments.
"To get him pieces of the gowns
all of us are going- to wear at the
wedding," she answered. "Do you
suppose?"
She stopped abruptly and looked
at me inquiringly, one of her little
ways with which I am familiar. So
I promptly finished her question,
quickly revising my estimate of the
officer's knowledge of women as I
did so.
Yhat he means to furnish the
women of the wedding party with
flowers," I said drvlv. "That surelv
"must be his intention unless he is
occupying his leisure with leaking
patchwork soft pillows "
"Her Fluffiness" gurgled delight
edly, but my mother-in-law's voice,
tart with disapproval, cut short the
giggle. Mother Graham dislikes
Maj. Grantland heartily and omits
no opportunity to evidence her dis
approval.
He got that stuff out of some
book," she said acidly. "He looks
like that sort of moony chap."
An Ultimatum.
"Maj. Grantland is anything but
moony," Mrs. Durkee declared
spiritedly. The officer, who is only
second to Dicky in Alfred Durkee's
list of men friends, is a prime fa
vorite with Alfred's mother. 1And I

WHY?
Is the Anchor the Symbol of
Hope?
(Copyright, 1920, by the 'Wheeler Syn
dicate, Inc.)
Even before the time of Christ
the anchor was used to typify
hope, on account of the fact that
it was indispensable to the sailor
and formed his principal insur
ance against the terrors of wind
and sea. The ancient Phoenc
cians, being a sea-faring people,
used the anchor as a symbol for
safety and hope alike and there
are many instances where it has
been inscribed on coins and the
walls of temples with this sig
nificance. On account of this and also be
cause the anchor was naturally
associated with the fish, the em
blem of the Savior, the early
Christians adopted the anchor as
their emblem of hope in a future
life, in the salvation which would
follow a steadfast faith and an
upright life. The .figure ,si the
anchor was frequently engraved
upon rings and may be seen to
day, inscribed on many monu
ments and on the walls of the
Catacombs in Rome. The fact
that the transverse bar" of an
anchor, below 'the ring through
which the rope is passed, forms
a practically perfect cross also
probably had a bearing upon the
adoption of this symbol.

HUSBAND
New Phase of
of a Wife
ly attentions and pretty fluttering
ways have appealed very strongly to,
the lonejy man. At any rate, he has
done many gracious little services
for her, which "Her Fluffiness" thor
oughly appreciates.
"He's the most splendid man I
know," she went on stoutly, "except
Alfred and Dicky, of course," she
qualified hastily, "but they're my
own boys." The smile she flashed
at Mother Graham would have soft
ened almost any visage but that of
my mother-inlaw. "And I think it's
perfectly scrumptious of him to do
this. So let me have the pieces,
both of you. He's going to drop
around in the car this morning on
his way to New York, and wants-to
take them with him."
"He'll not take any dress goods of
mine with him to New York or any
where -else," Mother Graham de
clared grimly. "Of course, you may
do as you please, Margaret, but if
I were in your place I should cer
tainly not permit such an outlandish
proceeding."
Naturally, my firsts impulse upon
hearing this ridiculous ultimatum
for such I knew my mother-in-law
meant it to be was to assure my
little neighbor that I would be de
lighted ta receive the major's flow
ers. But I knew Dicky's aversion
to the officer, realized that without
meaning to do so his mother's ver
sion of the incident would be exag
gerated, and so I resolved to tem
porize until I could see my way
clearly to accept oj- refuse.
"I am afraid I haven't a scrap of
my gown left," I said. "You know
I had such a scant pattern anyway,
and I remember thinking I wouldn't
dare to tear it for I couldn't mend it
decently."
