At Bluffs Meet
Milwaukee Man to Tour Nt
Lratka Thia Week Visit
ing Lutheran Churches in
Interet of Convention.
Re Walther "A. Maier of Mil
waukee, International executive sec
retary of the Walther league, was a
guest o( the Council Blufis league it
a banquet in the Modem Woodman
iau. Mr. Maier will tour
.Nebraska this week in the in
teresl of the league and the interna
tional convention which will be held
in Omaha. July 16-20. 1922. More
than 100 members of the league were
in attendance at the banquet.
In outlining the work of the
league, Mr. Maicr dwelt almost
entirely on the subject ofgihe young
people and the church. "The fu.
ture of the church rest with the
young people. The vitality, energy
and hope of the young people of to
day gives courage to aspire to serv
ice," lie said.
Times Out of Joint."
"The times are out of joint. The
majority of the young people of to
day do not know the purpose of their
own lives. The real purpose of
our lives is to serve Christ .ind tin?
church, to serve our fellow men and
o better serve ourselves." declared
the speaker. "Work among the
young people is necessary .Hid es
sential. Wc find that alter 7.i years
of the existence of our church that
there arc not enough pastors tor our
churches or instructors to operate
our parochial schools.
"The Walther league maintains six
missionaries, three in India, two in
China and one among the Apache
Indian tribes of Arizona. In addi
tion, we are maintaining 'Hospice'
homes throughout the country to
aid young girls, 65.0X) of whom dis
appeared in the United States last
year. At the present time we are
planning to open one of these honiis
in Omaha.
"The devil Is working overtime to
tear the young people from the
church today," he continued, and
"the greatest menace to the young
people is the motion picture theater.
I will not say that Christians should
not go to motion picture shows, but
I flon't think much of their Christ
ianity, if they do," he said in conclu
sion. Lutherans Were Loyal.
Rev. Lawrence Acker, pastor of
the First Evangelical Lutheran
church of Omaha, followed the Rev.
Mr. Maier and delivered a very
powerful sermon on Americaniza
tion. He declared that outside of
the Mennonite church, the Lutheran
church was more unjustly slandered
' during the world war than any other
religion. "I insist that the record of
the Lutheran churches of the United
States is excellent. Thousands of
members of our denomination served
rnder the Stars and Stripes and
served willingly, and as was our re
sponse during the world war, so will
be the response of the Lutheran
church in any future war. The
Lutherans of the country were loyal
and patriotic and they always will
be the same," he declared.
Rev. Titus Lang, pastor of the
Cross Lutheran church, also of
Omaha, explained the plans for the
' hospice home in Omaha.' The
Rev. Martin H. Mueller, pastor of
the St. Paul Lutheran church of
Council Bluffs, acted as toastmas
ter. Rev. M. Maier will speak in Oma
ha at the St. Pauls German-English
Lutheran church, -Twenty-fifth
and Evans streets, at 3 this after
noon. At 6 this evening he will
dine "at the Athletic club where ar
rangements : for the international
convention will be outlined. Next
Saturday night he will speak at the
First Evangelical Lutheran church.
Giant Battleship
Is Launched by U. S.
Ctilrat-o Tribune-Omaha Bra loosed Wire.
Washington, Nov. 20. Facing an
almost immediate sentence to the
junk pile, the giant battleship West
Virginia," newest of her type, took
the water from the ways at Newport
News. Va.
The West Virginia is the largest
American ship now afloat and the
most powerfully armed. She is still
somewhat lighter in displacement
than the Japanese Mutsu. around
which a controversy threatens to
rage as a result of the Hughes pro
posal contemplating her destruction.
At present, however, no American
ship buliding can compare equally
in displacement and speed with the
Mutsu.'"
The West Virginia is 624 feet long
with a displacement of 32,600 tons
and a speed of 21 knots. Her arm
ament consists of eight 16-inch
guns, -14 5-inchers, four 3-inch anti
aircraft guns and two submerged
torpedo tubes. She has the latest
underwater protection against sub
marines. The West Virginia is an
oil burner, and electrically driven.

They turned the punt landwards.
"I didn't mean you to come back,"
Mr. Harding said, at the Fortune
Hunter sprang on to the bank. "I
don't want you, my dear. I was
lust on my way home. Sorry to
have spoiled your little tete-a-tete."
Annie laughed. "Well, what hap
pened?" he asked, "about the poor
man in the woods, I mean. Did you
find out who he is?"
Mr. Harding took off his hat and
wiped his hot forehead,
"No; there are no papers noth
ing to identify him at H, unless
what that fellow Fernie ay h true,
and. somehow. I have my doubts.
Fernie was always a liar 1 I detest
the man."
"Fernie?" said the Fortune
Hunter, uncertainly.
"Yes; a little rat of a fellow who
lives in the village. Does nothing
for a living, and pokes his nose into
most things that don't concern him.
He turned up at the inquiry this
morning and swore that he was com
ing through the woods last night and
saw a man leave the very spot where
they found the body, iou know it
I r J ! tt
was rcrnic wno muno n.
"f hate Fernie t" Annie said.
"So do I, my dear," her uncle an
swered, mildly. "But his story will
have to be investigated, and there
may be some truth in it. You see,
his theory is that the other man
robbed the dead man of his papers,
money and what not, and left him."
"fie doesn't suggest by any
chance that the Other man mur
dered him, I suppose?" the Fortune
Hunter asked, dryly.
Mr. Harding laughed.
"Dear me, no! The doctors have
proved it was heart failure, right
enough, but Fernie sticks to his
story of this other maty and swears,
too. that he can identity him."
The Fortune Hunter stooped and
tied the rope of the punt to a dead
willow stump in the bank.
"Friend Fernie sounds as if he
might be rather an interesting sort
of gentleman," he said coolly. "What
is he? The local detective or some
body?" "He's a horrid little man," Annie
said vehemently. "He's just a busy
body. He's got a small private in
come and moons round the village
talking scandal and listening to it
and minding everyone s business ex
cept his own.
"I expect he knows all about you
already," she added, her color rising;
"probably knows what train you
came by and how much you gave
for your boots, and alt about you."
Both men laughed, and Mr. Hard
ing turned away.
"Well, well, we shaft see. Fernie's
not a nice character, I must admit,
but I'm rather interested to find out
who that poor fellow was. Good
bye, you two."
He strolled away, and the For
tune Hunter looked down at Anne
as she sat below him in the punt.
She was frowning, a little, as if
something had upset her. "I hate
that man Fernie," she broke out
vehemently. "I've always got the
kind of feeling that some day he
will do me an injury. Oh, I "don't
know why lie should; he's nothing
in the world to do with me, but
I've got the feeling, all the same.
It's the way he looks at me, I sup
pose." x
I he rortune Hunter laughed.
"No, I'm not a bit. I've never
had that feeling before, but I've had
it about Fernie ever since he came to
Somcrton.
"Has he been here long?"
"He bought the Long-end cottage
the same summer I came to live with
Uncle Clem."
"And that was how many years
agor the fortune Hunter asked
casually, even while he hoped that
she would tell him.
"Just nine years," she answered
readily. "John, you never could re
member dates."
"One day has generally been the
same to me as the next," he "a
iwered grimly. "The chief excite
ment in my life for years hat been
in wondering where the next meal
is to come from."
The admission was out before he
realized what he had said,' and It
was only when ho saw the amaied
look in her eyes that he laughed and
tried to cover his own seriousness.
"I was as hard up as a church
mouse for a long time after I went
abroad, you know," he added.
"Were you?" Her voice was piti
ful. "You never told me. I always
thought your mother sent you
money."
"My mother!" The Fortune Hun
ter's heart gave a thump of appre
hension. "Yes." Anne was unconscious of
his agitation. "She used to write to
me you know that and I thought
Uhe always sent you money. I tried to
myselt, but when Wncle Uem toumj
out he stopped my allowance." Her
voice was angrily reminiscent.
"John how your mother would
have loved to see you again; she
could never talk of anyone but you."
The Fortune Hunter turned
abruptly away. He wondered savage
ly how much deeper into the mire
he had got to walk before lie could
find a way out; he could not trust
himself to meet Anne's eyes.
"John I You're not angry with
me?" she asked after a moment
"Angry? No." He laughed and
jumped down into the punt beside
her. "What about this famous is
land? You don't seem wry anxious
to show it to me after all.
They crossed the river some way
down the stream, and worked round
a backwater till they came out to
the main stream again, and close, to
a tiny island fringed with drooping
willows ana covered with nrarken.
"Here it is," Anne said. "That is
where I used to come when I felt
narticularlv lonely and write to
you." She looked up at him, and
quickly away again. "Tie the punt
up, John, and we'll go and explore."
She sprang onto the bank without
waiting for him, and the Fortune
Hunter secured the boat. There was
a little sick feeling at his heart, and
he purposely lingered, unwilling to
rejoin her.
Whither were they drifting, he
and she? What would she think of
him when she knew, as she must in
evitably sooner or later.
He -wished he had died before he
had entered into the monstrousness
of this deception. Guilty or not guil
ty, the John Smith to whom death
had come in the woods had been a
finer man than he; honorable enough
to go abroad and give the girl who
loved him a chance for treedom,
whilst he. . . .
Anne called to him from the is
land: "John!" The Fortune Hunter
hesitated: then he made a qu:rjt ges-
I ture of angry impatience and turned
to follow her.
She was standing in a space from
which the ferns had been cleared and
where the ground was carpeted with
moss.
"This is where I wrote my last
letter to you," Anne said eagerly. "It
wasn't summer then, of course, but
spring. The 14th of May, I think,
and a lovely day. Oh, John! Aren't
you longing to see another English
spring? I think it is the most beau
tiful time of all the year."
The Fortune Hunter's eyes dwelt
wistfully upon her. "Every time of
the year will be the most beautiful
if I am with you," he said, then
flushed darkly at bis own unwonted
eloquence.
He put out his hand and caught
hers.
"You're turning me into a poet,"
he declared. "I swear to you that be
fore last night I could never have
said a thing like that, even if my life
depended on it."
"But you did years ago," she said.
"Did I?" He frowned. "Well,
then, I must have forgotten."
"You wrote the dearest letters,"
she said swiftly, eager to chase the
shadow from his eyes. "Johnl I've
kept every single letter you ever
wrote me. Hare you kept mine?"
He pulled her towards him ilmoit
roughly, pressing her cheek to his
shoulder so that she could not see
his eyes.
"Some day I'll tell you a great
many things." he said. "Some
day," Ii broke off, releasing ber
abruptly. "now long is it since
last night?" he asked. "It seems as
if I have always been with you.
"That's how it seems to me, too,"
sne said shyly. "Just as if youve
never been away. John, do you
like me better now than you did all
those years ago? I've sometimes
been afraid that youd be disarv
pointed in me that I shouldn't be-
as luce looking as you might ex
pect."
He laughed at that, and the
laughed, too.
"What about me. then?" he asked
with forced lightness. He took off
his hat, showing the grey in bis
combed hair. "Am I as beautiful as
you hoped I should be, Miss Van.
fry?"
She put her hands behind her
back and considered him seriously.
"You're better looking," she said
at last. "There s something in voui
face that I'd forgotten something
which I am sure was not there when
when I first fell in love with you,"
sne acmea saucuy.
"Is it an improvement?" he asked
anxiously.
She laughed. "Who's vain now?"
she teased. He turned away in pre
tended offense, and she followed
quickly.
She slipped her hand through his
arm. laid her cheek against his coat
sleeve. "If you were as ugly as as
the ugliest man in the world,' she
said with sudden gravity, "I should
still love you best in the world.
There s somethine about vou some'
thing in your voice, and the way you
look at me. , . . ." she broke off, and
gave him a little push away from
her.
"You say I am turning you into
a poet," she scoffed. "Well, you are
making me as sentimental as a
school girl. No I'm not coming
near you for a long time. We're
going to walk round the island and
talk sense.

Jack and Jill
There was a frightened look in
Jills eyes which Jack noticed even
before he had dipped his spoon in
the fragrant onion soup.
"What is it, dear?" he asked.
He wondered unhappily if the fur
nace was out of order again, or if
there was a gas leak in the scare

pectantly at the roast veal which was
spiced and splendid. . ..And there
were sweet potatoes and everything
he liked for dinner. Man-like he
dreaded anything that might spoil
his feast.

But Jack sobered when he saw
two great tears trickle down the
smooth, round cheeks, of his Jill-girl.
"Come, come, dear," he said ten
derly, "tell your daddy all about it."
But Jill s unhappiness was too real
to yield even to this invitation.
"Did vou forget to pay him. Mon

This method combats the film
on teeth that viscous coat you
feel Film is the teeth's great
enemy. It clings to teeth, gets be
tween the teeth and stays.
Brushing in the old ways does
not end this film. And most tooth
troubles are caused by what is left
Film absorbs stains, making the
teeth look dingy. It is the basis of
tartar. It holds food substance
which ferments and forms acid. It
holds the acid in contact with the
teeth to cause decay.
Millions of germs breed in it.
They, with tartar, are the chief
cause of pyorrhea. Very few peo
ple have escaped, these troubles
caused by film.
Two new methods
Dental science has now found
two methods to fight film. Many
careful tests have proved their
efficiency. Leading dentists every
where now advise their daily use.
The methods are embodied in a
dentifrice called Pepsodent. Other
factors, now considered essential,
are Included with itv
Pepsodent combats the film with
every application. It keeps teeth
highly polished, so film less easily
adheres.
It also stimulates the salivary
flow. That is Nature's great tooth
protecting agent It multiplies the
starch digestant in the saliva, to
digest starch deposits which so
often cling and form acid. It mul
tiplies the alkalinity of the saliva,
to neutralize the acids which cause
tooth decay.
Thus every use brings five de
sired effects which old methods
failed to bring.
The modern way
Pepsodent is based on modern
research. It does what authorities
now regard as essential. Half the

methods, largely by dental advice
