 COMPLIMENTS
Says Mrs. Cowgill's Lee lures in the Los Angeles Branch of Phoenix Board of Trade Are Effective and Entertaining.

Joseph Harris of Seattle is a re- cert arrival in Phoenix and may stay some time as he came seeking relief l from bronchitis. He is greatly pleas .d with this section but was not sur prised for he had been informing himself concerning it for a long time and kncW as much about it as one could without coming here He hated to get so far away from home though his physician directed him to ] Phoenix and when he got to Los An geles he gave that city a trial in the hope il would be all that he sought in the way of climate. But much as he liked the coast city he did not get the relief he sought.
 Before coming here he drifted into the chamber of commerce where he saw the exhibit of the branch board of trade and met Mrs Cowgirl in charge. She invited him to attend the daily lecture and he did SD but says he arrived in time to only hear the last five minutes of Mrs. Cow gills talk: in fact was a little sur prised for he did not suppose she was the lecturer. After it was over he remained to listen to the lecture of the Tulare- county representative.
 He says he was impressed with the difference that he could not help but personally congratulate the Phoenix presrntative and now says that he wants to say a good word for her here.
 He says he does not believe in waiting until one is dead before pre- scnIing the bouquets deserved. He had no fault to find with the Tulare county lecturer but he says there was in the short talk of Mrs. Cowgirl the enthusiasm of conviction that greatly impressed him. He says she is the right person in the right place and he cannot say too much in praise of her efforts. IL was not entirely what she said but the way she said it carried ten to one" more force Mir Harris added that his good words arc. merely what he believes to be her due for he knew nothing about her and never saw here until he str0lled into the Ariona exhibit.

in the former place, that she might
participate in the ceremony of casting
the shoe, prescribed in the Book of
Deuteronomy for childless widows be-
fore they are free to marry any other

rection Mrs. Horvitz yesterday went to
the home of her brother-in-law, Y
Horvitz where the ceremony was
performed under the supervision of a
rabbi. Horvitz put on a sandal and
after announcing that he did not wish
to wed his sister-in-law, permitted
her to remove it, she reciting the
while: $50 shall it be done unto the
man who will not build up his broth
er's house; and, his name shall be
called in Israel, The house of him
who hath his shoe loosened.' The
ceremony, concluded in this way, ac-
cording to the ancient custom, left the
widow free to marry whom she may
choose. Y Horvitz, the brother-in-
law, is married
