PATMONT CASE AGAIN
Erroneous Statements Are Being
Circulated Regarding Him

Press reports are to the effect
that Rev. Louis r. Patmont, whose
strange disappearances during the
last year have resulted in nation
wide comment, is being sought by
detectives, charged with setting fire
to the Church of Christ chapel at
Newark, New Jersey, April 10, 1913
1t is stated that his wife, from
whom he secured a divorce in stew
ms Point last fall, gave testimony
before a grand jury at Newark that
resulted in an Indictment being re-
urned against him. She told the
grand jury, among other things, that
the kidnapping of PatmOnt at west
Vile, Illinois, had been pre-arran3ed
to gain notOriety and aid the sale
Of his books.
It is alleged that Patmont set fire
to the chapel when he learned that
his father, the Rev. Gottfried W..
Patmont, Of Milwaukee, was wor-
ried over a 15O0 mortgage he held
on the building.
Augustus Patmont already knew Of
the recent turn Of events in his
brothers life when he was inter
viewed by a Journal man at his mis-
sion on Division street. MY broth
er was in Russia, doing missionary
work, when the fire occurred and
he Will prove this when the time
comes" he said. Both Augustus and
his wife were in Newark at the
time Of the fire, they said. They de-
nOunce Louis Patmont's divorced
wife as a woman of bad character,
and said they do not doubt she is
being used as a tool by people who
have a personal grudge against Rev.
Patmont. Both declared Mrs. Pat
mont aims to secure the custody Of
her children, who were awarded to
the father at the time Of the legal
separation.
Rev. Patmont was at Cincinnati
when last heard from by his broth
er on January 16.
Whatever may be said about Louis
Patmont, it is a fact that his broth
er and his wife, during their resi-
dence in Stevens Point, which be-
gan last September, have made few
if any enemies. They appear to be
earnest workers in the cause they
represent, apparently have no ami
mostly toward any person or organ
ization and in general tend strict
~ to their own business. Stevens

Louis r. Patmont is not a fugi-
tive from justice, as might be in
ferred from some press reports. His
whereabouts are no secret and we
are credibly informed that he tele-
eraphed the Newark authorities, civ
ing them his itinerary, when he read
Of the statements alleged to have
been made by his divorced wife,
concerning the burning of the church
at Newark 1t is stated that it can
be clearly proven that Patmont was
not in this country at the time OF
the fire referred to.
Patmont is now out on q tour,
making addresses in some Of the
large cities. He spoke to a large
audience in a Cincinnati church re-
Gently and On Jan. p spoke to a
large crowd at Columbus.
We are also informed that no in
dictment has been issued against Mr..
Patmout
Mir. CIaud F. Witty, Of Detroit,
who visited Ladysmith last fall in
company with Mr.. Patmont, has is
sued the following statement con
corning him:
"Being as intimately acquainted
with all the facts il this case as
any persons connected with it, we
wish to state that we have just as
much confidence in the integrity
and honesty of Louis r. Patmont as
We ever had, and regard him as pure
gold, refined in the fires Of persecu
ton.
eve are absolutely sure that he
was kidnapped from Westville, III.
and driven out OF Detroit and com
PEELED to keep under cover, as he
did, or forfeit his life
eve also know that his persecu
ton was so severe that his reason
was unbalanced, and that many OF
the things he did are to be charged
entirely to his mental affliction.
1--WE also have the sworn proof
that his former wife was shamefully
false to him, and on her oath she
confessed that she was guilty OF
adultery. We believe, and are sure
our brother acted wisely and Scrip
turally in putting away his former
wife
1--WE also have proof that since
this matter has been cleared up
and the awful strain and fear re
lieyed, he has regained the full use
of his mental faculties and is now
in good health"

THE PRICE OF STRENGTH

To me, no comment of the Euro
pean war has been more interesting
than the accounts of the wonderful
attention that has been given to the
physical care of the German soldier.
Someone once said that ian army
marches on it's stomach" That was
forceful expression upon the i'm
portance of good, we'll cooked food.
The Germans, probably without ig-
noring the stomach, have not lost
sight of the very important fact that
the infantry, at least march on their
feet. Thus, the greatest attention
has been paid to the condition of
the feet of soldiers. For. long time,
before the outbreak Of the present
war, a sore-footed soldier was con-
sidered a disgrace to the efficiency
of the German army
Hitherto, | am certain, not nearly
50 much attention has been given in
other armies to the condition and
care of soldiers feet as has been
given to the condition of the horses
feet.
There is here a lesson for all peo-
pie. So much depends upon the ply
steal fitness of men and women, and
yet how careless we are about keep
ing strong feet and ankles, service
able stomachs, and Well-ordered in
testines!
Employers who safeguard their
horses by good stabling, careful feed
ing and veterinary surgical attention,
employ almost any kind of human
flesh" And an employer who tried
to regulate the health of his human
employees would be likely to create
antagonism by his interference with
personal liberty Some day some
business genius will devise a sys-
tenn of grading labor as wheat is
now graded, pay to the physically
fit what they are worth, and no
more than that to the physically un-
fit.
At first this will be hard on the
physically incompetent At present
however, a hardship is imposed upon
the physically competent, for they
carry their own burden and part
of that of their less competent fell
lows.
I am not arguing for a reputation
of the debt of the strong to the
weaklings goods Children" who
are weak through no fault of their
own.) Our present knowledge OF
prevention is lessening the number
of instances which can be attribut-
ed, by intelligent people, to Goods
killing or Gripping. More and more
as our intelligence increases, we
shall hold out a reward to the strong
for resisting the lures of dissipation,
lust and laziness.

Professor T. l.. Hacker of the Min

made the startling assertion to group

were taxing themselves annually $751;
OOO,OOO as d result of carelessness and
inefficient feeding Of their dairy herds.
says the Kansas Farmer.
This statement was borne out by the
representation of carefully gathered
data secured by Professor Hacker in
his long experience in handling dairy
cattle He related one instance of how
high producing dairy COW had been
caused TO fall off in butter fat produc-
ton from i've pounds to three pounds
per day as result of irregularities in
her treatment In this instance the
COW was simply shown before an audi
ence OF 600 people for fifteen minutes
in connection with a demonstration in
judging dairy cattle.
The more highly organized the COW is
the more surely will such variations
from the ordinary treatment react and
cause a falling off in production. Even
the common milk COW Of the farm will
be affected by sudden changes in feed,
changes in methods of handling or I'M
necessary exposure to cold or stormy
weather. All such little variations from
the treatment the COW Is accustomed
to receive will have tendency to re-
duce production no matter how ordi-
harry the COW may be.
This particular COW to which Pro
fessor Haecker referred was able to
produce In food nutrients during one
year products equal to the value of the
carcasses Ut twenty yearling steers.
| This shows how serious such little ir-
Irregularities in treatment might become

sacrifice of dignity than to incur
further isolation of discredit by

1t is not to be expected that sub

that some other measures affect

best that can be done in view of
