Asking Too Much
AS a usual thing, County Clerk
w. j. McClelland follows the policy
that the customer is right-but there
comes a time, he declared Saturday,
when a fellow must draw the line.
For instance he received a letter
from an insurance company, accom-
panying some legal documents,
which requested:
will you please file these in
struments and sing and return the
voucher for the filing fee?"
It may have been all right for
little Jack Tucker to sing for his
supper, Mac AYERS, but he's doggon-
ed if he'll sing for a fee to which
he's legally entitled, anyhow.
