ttritt silcme adhered to by Mr.
Irene Loomi ltrown, now in Dei
Muinn, who brought suit last week

i will du nothing or say nothing
to injure him in hi ministry or
i.tandmg in the community," she told
her liMcr-in-law, Mrs. Loomis, when
she arrived Thursday.
"Our own trouble i our own
affair." .
"And she oberves this policy bet
ter than Mr.' Brown himself, said
Mrs. Loomis, "even though it would
be to his benefit if he were to do
the same.
"She will not utter one ' word
against him except what is necessary
in the divorce petition until the date
set for the hearing."
Thi policy will change, though,

morning when a rap w heard
t the door.
Quickly dressing he descended
to greet hit caller.
It was Deputy Sheriff Charle
Hoye, who handed him i legal
looking document.
"A summons," he explained.
"You've been sued for divorce."
"Thank you," Mid the min

"Oh, don't mention It," repUed

tin re arc plenty of them," said the
brother. ...
He staled that his sister Irene's
marital uuhappinets dated from the
day after her wedding ill Plymouth,
Mich., July 20. 1V18.
"We have known hc was unhappy
ever since, but the family has noth
ing to o'o with her decision to leave
him."
She will never return to Omaha to
live, even after the divorce is granted,
hut will .make her home in Dcs
Moines with her brother, he said.
He denies that , religious differ
ences had anything to do with their
difficulties.. Mrs. Drown was a Hap
list and attended Calvary Baptist
church, where Kev. Howard Whit
comb is pastor, until she married
Kev. Mr. Brown.
Hurt pride, not love or considera
tion for his wife, inspired Brown in
his reconciliation u'k, the brother
said. ,
"We'll tell H the fact then
"lie knows there will be nothing
to it." He ad.levi.
Both Mrs, lirown and Iter brother
denied Kev. Mr. Brown n interview
when he came to Dei Moines last
week liter the action wis started.
"The divorce suit should have
been no surprise to hint a lie as
lens," said the brother. "He was
told it was coming, but I e persist
ed, in trie notion that hi wile would
not actually screw her resolve to the
sticking point.
His sister is in a much better frame
of mind than she was before she
took the decisive step, Mr. Loomis
said.
"She is calm sud cool; the tempest
of suffering she endured has spent
itself," was the way he characterized
"V
Denies Minister Lovet Wife.
He said there, would be no diffi
culty in proving cases of alleged dis
courteous treatment of the wife in
public by the minister, as reported
by members of the congregation.
The three years' period cf trials was
enough to try the patience of Job,
despite all she could do to placate
him, is the testimony of the brother
and' sister-in-law.
"There is no reason for her to
waste her life," said her brother.
Loomis scoffed at the idea that
the minister still loves his wile, as
he stated.
"If he did, he wouldn't treat her
the way he has. Now he poses as
an injured husband, its a joke.

urged congress to enact the export
grain feature of the so-called "farm
