TO I. A fair crowd was out and good
delegation accompanied the visitors
here.
Lee Stuart pitched the first inning

though very one-sded from the start
afforded the fans inch interest and
amusement and served to show the fine
Improvement the Athletics are making.

Is This PrOfiteering?

Williams Enterprise: While the
high cost Of living is n general topic o!
converse ton, there seems to be OppOr-
tunity for lowering it at various points.
One of the biggest steals on small ar
ticle that has been peIpetrated on the
public has come to the notice OF the
Enterprise the past week, and it was
simply another case of trusting to the
oily tongue of stranger rather than to
a home dealer who is in the community
for the purpose of doing legitimate
business.
We refer to one of those travelling
agents who are, as general thing, too
lazy to do an honest days work, but 20
out and reap an exorbitant profit from
the sale of some article to the public.
This party has been soliciting through
the neighborhood taking orders for
chicken rOOsts at $1.2J per roOSt-and
the funny part of it is the farmers
have been failing for" his line of talk.

yellow pine ten feet long with the cor
ners planned off and little clamp on
each end. Did you ask what the clamps
were for? The agent said it would keep
the mites from getting on the roosts,
and incidently from the fowls. Can you
beat that? We wonder il there is Il
farmer in Iowa who believes the mites
originate on the ground and climb the
poles to get on the chickens. II there
is. it would be profitable investment
to spend two cents to write to the State
College for their bulletin on the sub
ject No patent appliance will keep
mites from chickens. 1t takes eternal
vigilance and spraying to keep them
reasonbly well rid out.
Getting back to those $l.25 roosts.

| the lumber company, that they sell two

Never Leases Livery.

Williams Enterprise: Henry Meyer
has leased his livery barn to Julius Roy
and party from Fort Dodge, and

The new managers will continue the
feed barn and will put in Il stock of
International farm machinery. They
have also rented the store building of
John McCarley, formerly occupied by
the Rick-COtton Co., and will use it as
their Office.
Henry Meyer expects to 90 to his
siderable improvement work.

during MS long ministry at Temple
Emanuel he organized the Guild of
Temple Emanuel, the Literary So
ciety and the Parent Teachers Asso-
citation of the temple. In 1911 he
founded the Federated Jewish Chart
ties. To DR.. Greenburgs' credit also
is the founding of the Temple Music
Club, Orchestral Society, Bible Circle,
French classes, self-government coun-
ell of the Sunday school, etc. He Sc
cured funds to establish the Steiner
gymnasium and for the general build
ing fund as well. He took infinite
pains in the planning and designing
of the memorial windows of the new
church.

Gently completed at Boulevard and
South Harwood streets, is claimed to
be one of the finest, if not the finest,
institutional temples in the South
west, the edifice largely being mon
ument to DR.. Greenburg's activities.

its people very much" DR.. Greenburg
said recently. 1T will be with feel
ing of poignant regret that | go to
other fields. The memories which !
shall carry away will indeed be sweet.
Prominent among these memories will
be that of pride at the growth of the
city and its remarkable development
in civic and spiritual channels-that
wonderful growth in which | have
tlied to play my humble part.
Petition From 200 Members.
Many letters of regret at DR.. Green
burg's decision to leave have reached
him, numbers Of these pleading with
him to reconsider and remain here.
Recently the following petition, sign
ed by more than 200 members of the
congregation, was addressed to the
board Of directors Of Temple Emanu-
FL:
ITO the Board of Directors, Temple
Emanuel, Dallas: We, the under
signed members Of Temple Emanu-
Ell, constituting a large majority of
200 or more Of the entire membership,
believe that DR.. William II. Green.
burg, during his eighteen years Of
rabbinical service among US has met
the exactions and responsibilities of
his place with high and increasing
earnestness, devotion, ability and pow
er. Especially has he brought to his
labors rare scholarship and cultiva-
ton and lberality Of mind, character
and religious conception. These are
the just pride and admiration Of the
community and have exerted potent
and wholesome influence among its
people. II is our strong opinion that
his departure from Dallas would leave
very large vacancy not readily or
easily filled.
Wherefore, we respectfully petition
the board of directors of Temple
Emanuel to submit to a meeting Of
the congregation the question of So

this done; if not, our very best wishes

The resignation Of DR.. William II.

time to time, but never withdrawn,
finally has been accepted. DR.. Green

In addition to his activities per-
tanning exclusively to the synagogue,
DR.. Creenburg has been identified
with many Of the civic enterprises of
Dallas. He was one Of the founders
Of the local organization Of Boy

gest Sunday afternoon concerts at the
Scottish Rite Cathedral, as well as the
idea Of organizing the Dallas Symph-
ony Orchestra. He was one Of the
founders of the Infants Welfare AS
ISOLATION and its vice president for
many years. To DR.. Greenburg may
be traced the municipal Thanksgiv-
ing service. When he established the
institution, in line with his plan of
bringing the humanitarian and liber-
alizing spirit in the foreground, it
was known as the peoples Thanksgiv.
ing service.
About twelve years ago he organic.

Free kindergarten Association, Anti
tuberculosis Society, free medical
clinics and the Dallas County HUI
name Society, Of which he has been
