EMPLOYMENT OFFICE
WILL NOT Be CLOSED
CHAMBER OF COMMERCE WILL
PROVIDE FUNDS TO KEEP
THIS AGENCY OPEN

The United States employment bur-
eau at Moscow will not be closed, de-
spite the fact that the fillibuster In
the senate cut off the supply of funds
for carrying it on The citizens of
Moscow will raise the funds neces
sary to keep open the office until such
time as funds can be provided by the
federal government This action was
decided upon by the executive commit
tee of the chamber of commerce at a
special meeting held Sunday after
noon.
l.. F. Parsons, in charge of the gov
ernment employment office here
which represents five counties of the
Panhandle of Idaho, will remain in
charge of the work Mr.. Parsons re-
ceived instructions from the depart
ment at Washington to close the office
on, March %, as there are no funds
available to continue the work and the
announcement stated that all such of
fices will have to be closed. The Of
fices were originally planned to find
places for returning soldiers and
many of them have received assist
ance to secure jobs through the eff
forts of these employment agencies.
Mr.. Parsons said:
1.-THE Moscow office, alone, has
placed more than $500 men since it
was opened. The business has been
growing steadily and every day peo-
pie come to us for assistance. Today
we had a discharged soldier who want
ed to get to Seattle, where he has
a job promised. He had no funds,
and we assisted him in securing $50.
There is not a day when we do not
assist from one to a score OF people
and to close the office now when many
are seeking labor and many
returning soldiers are seeking jobs
would work a great hardship on both
the employer and the men who are
out of work"
The office used by Mr.. Parsons, who
is also chairman of the Latah county
council of defense, has become head
quarters for almost all public bust
ness and the citizens of Moscow are
anxious to keep it open as an inform
alton bureau as we'll as an employ
ment office An unofficial report re-
ceived by Mr.. Parsons today stated
that congress is expected to reopen in
special session about May l and that
funds for carrying on the work of the |
bureau will be available |
hen. Until that time the chamber of |
commerce will undertake to supply the |
'unds needed.

PRESIDENT L|NDLEY
GEORGE A. BARKER OF PEND
O'REILLE REVIEW, SPEAKS
HIGHLY OF HIM

In letter to his paper, the Pend
O'Reille Review, George A. Barker,
former secretary of state, and one
of the best known men of northern
Idaho, tells of a trip to Boise with
DR.. E. H. Lindley, president of the
University of Idaho. His article is
headed "The Gentleman in the Horn
Specs" 1t follows:
S'On the way down to Boise the
other day, long slender gentleman
came into the Pullman dressing room
along about 9 o'clock Before he had
his specs on he was at great dis
advantage. AS he blinked his eyes
and groped his way through his
morning ablutions he was some owl.
/ offered to help him with his coat.
He was profuse with his thanks, but
] might have been an Egyptian mum
my or Roman gladiator SO far as
being discovered in my identity by
the president of the state university.
When he got his horn specs on he
knew me.
eff there is anything more delight
full than to spend a day on the train
with DR.. Lindley, I don't know what
it is. The journey to Boise, as you
all know, was made that men might
learn to swear with ease. 1t is the
devils own creation in his purpose to
catch men off their guard and deliver
themselves over to his satanic mai
esty in fits and outbursts of rage.
