There are only nine states in the
Union that are equipped with ade-
quate public employment organiza-
tion Many cities and states, real
izing the greatest usefulness Of
the federal employment service
had deliberately refrained from de-
yeloping purely local bureaus.
The fact that the New York Of
fees alone were placing 5000 work
ers week. If whom 800 TO 800 were
returned soldiers. speaks volumes
for the Importance and usefulness Of
this branch OF government service.
Fast experience has developed the
fact that real efficiency in this work
comes only with continuity, enabling
the establishment of regular connec-
ti"nS with employers. This makes
the calling for help through the pub
lie employment agency habitual, and
makes it possible to train officers
through daily experience for the pc
cular needs OF any one locality and
also for he wider area of the whole
country.
There is bill now pending in
Congress; the Kenyon-Nolan bill, for
the establishment Of permanent
employment service. Persons quail |

is essential, and that it is best done

JUDGE HUGHES SPEAKS
Attorney Speaks of the High Esteem
in Which Captain Taber Was
Held and How He Will be
Missed About the Club.

Resolutions memoralizing the late
Captain B. p. Taber were unanimous.
| ly adopted at meeting of members
of the Keokuk club Saturday after
noon. The meeting was presided
over by DR.. c. r. Armentrout. The
resolutions were presented by Judge
F. T. Hughes, and were drawn by a
committee composed of Asaph Buck.
| f. 7. Hughes and 7. f. Baldwin.
| In presenting the resolutions Judge
Hughes spoke of the lifelong friend
i strip of Captain Taber with the ,oIder
members of the club. He spoke of
| the interest he had always shown in
affairs of the organization and of his
| efforts in behalf of everything the
club stood for.
| Captain Taber was respected most
highly by all of the members. He
was constant attendant at the club.
Judge Hughes said, and his removal
! by death from the circle of friendship
was if an integral part Of the club
itself had been taken away.
He then presented the following
memorial to Captain Ben P. Taber
and moved it's adoption:
At meeting OF the members
of the keokuk club held on the
18th day of April, 1920, in the
rooms of the club in Keokuk, it
was resolved that the members
of the club heard with a most
grievol1s shock of the injury and
death Of our beloved member,
Captain Ben P. Taber. That we
mourn the loss of 50 dear and
loving friend and member of the
club as well as one Of our most
estimable and highly respected
citizens; words fail us in the ex-
pressions of grief when we re-
call the long time associations
and personal greetings with one
SO dear and one whom we shall
so consciously miss in the future,
weighs so heavily upon our
hearts and our deepest sympathy
is extended to his bereaved
family.
we ask that these resolutions
be spread upon the records Of the
club and a copy given to the
family.

The resolutions were unanimously
adopted.
Captain Baldwin moved that a
large photograph of Captain Taber
be secured and hung in the club
rooms, and this will be done.
