Educated Clerks.

Two Terre Haute school teachers,
both college graduates, spent a week
recently clerking in a Chicago bakery.
One day they sold several articles to
two customers. The bill came to ex-
actly 90 cents and both were elated, be-
cause of the size Of the sale. They
were further elated when they heard
one of the women remark to the other
one as they left the store: "They
must have educated clerks here now.
Did you notice that they counted up
the bill in their heads instead Of u.s.
ing a piece of paper as the old ones
