heeds the wish of Richmond, Ind,
lady whose letter contained a two cent
stamp and the modest request that Mr..
Lloyd furnish her with numerous sta

She evidently failed to consider that

Siderably more than two cents worth
OF Mr.. Loyd's time, or else she thinks
the city clerk is a man of leisure with
nothing else to do but answer useless
questions Of thoughtless public.
While public officials are always will
ing to answer all reasonable requests
they receive many foolish ones that,
with the use Of little common sense
upon the part of the querists, they
could answer fol- themselves.
