mHAT the caribou in the Yukon migrate twice yearly? In the Spring
A they migrate northward and in the Autumn they migrate southward.
They always travel in large herds and not even the swiftest streams
can stay their movement from one part of the country to another. The
photograph shows only a small portion of a large herd on its way
across the famous Whitehorse River in the Yukon.
Brevity is the soul of journalism,
but it doesn’t always work. When a
fellow has played the mischief and
gotten into trouble he believes in
newspapers being brief to the nth
degree about what he has done, but
when he gets the swell-head over a
little something or other, he thinks it
should take an entire page to tell
about what he has done.—Honey
Grove Signal-Citizen.
The Leonard Graphic was issued a
little early last week as the plant
was moved to the Masonic building
at the southeast corner of the square
in Leonard.
Last Saturday was the first with
pleasant weather this year and the
city was thronged'with shoppers.

TALES FROM THE RETAILORS
The month of January each year is
usually “invoice time" with practical-
ly every business establishment.
Iliis means that every yard of
goods, every spool of thread, every
package of needles, every pair of
shoes, and hose, every article of
men’s apparel, dresses, hats, and
aecessoiies in the dry goods stores
every ounce of medicines, every bottle
oi hair tonic, every item of personal
utility in the dtug stores; every can
of vegetables or fruit, every pound of
sugar and salt, coffee, every sack of
grain and bale of hay, every pound of
coal, every bushel of potatoes, and
every article of food in grocery and
feed stores, as well as every commodi-
ty of every kind in use and sold
throughout the various business
establishments of our community must
be counted, weighed, listed, and
rigured up on a cost-plus basis to
enable the merchant and businessman
to “know where he is at’’ in the
beginning of a new year.
In connection with this “invoice
time” for commodities thee is always
taken an “invoice” of “accounts and
bills receivable” and this listing and
analysis of this listing is far more
mportant to every businessman than
is*the actual stock of merchandise on
hand.
Why Because these are the “in-
‘angvole assets” from which he must
get the “fuel” to keep his business
n a firm foundation.
This “fuel” is what “you and I”
furnish as a part of “Invoice Time”
n our community. Just what does
our ledger page on the books of our
creditors show this first of another
rew year?
Have we been so handling our
medit courtesies in the past that our
merchant need have no hesitancy in
eying of us: “I wish all our accounts
like that one?” or have we been
regligent in paying our accounts con-
tracted so that the merchant cannot
feel he can depend upon getting his
money when we said we would pay it ?
Have we bought more on credit
luring the past year than our income
justified ? If we have, then of course
we cannot pay promptly. None of us
"an make a dollar pay more than 100
cents worth of accounts. It just
naturally won’t stretch that way.
If we have found ourselves deeper
in debt than we thought, have we
gone to our creditor and offered to
give him a note, or other evidence
that we desire to do our dead level
best? If not, why not '“do it now” so
: hat “invoice time” will show our
page ip.- better condition than with a
long ,pastjdue account on it.
January is also “invoice time” with
your Credit Bureau in your communi-
ty. What the ledger page of your
creditor shows will likewise show on
your master card in the Credit Bureau
files.
Why not make an extra effort to
pay that aceount-or if you find you
cannot pay it in full, pay a part of it,
and make arrange ments that i(are
satisfactory to your creditor so that
kind of report can be made by your
creditor to the Credit Bureau at “in-
voice time.”
Buy thoughtfully, so you can pay
promptly. You make your credit
rating—the Credit Bureau keeps the
record.
CAUGHT PRAIRIE DOG IN STORE
Times must be pretty hard in West
Texas when prairie dogs come all the
way to Honey Grove and break into
a market and grocery trying to get
something to eat. But one did this
Tuesday night, and he is now caged
up in a keg, and everyone who passes
by tries to feed him something. Tues-
day night while Alvin Fuller was sit-
ting by the stove in his grocery and
market on the south side of the
square, a small animal apparently
came out of nowhere and sat down in
front of the fire. Mr. Fuller think-
ing at first it was a rat, struck it
with a broom, before he discovered it
was a prairie dog. The animal was
caught and placed in captivity, and is
now in display in the market. Just
where the little animal came from
is not known.—Honey Grove Signal-
Citizen.
BONHI GIRL TAKES HONOR
Bonhi’s students will be glad to

low students has won third place on

1931. Mary Bradford participated,

How to train BABY’S
BOWELS
Babies, bottle-fed or breast-fed, with
any tendency to be constipated, would
thrive if they received daily, half a
teaspoonful of this old family doctor’s
prescription for the bowels.
That is one sure way to train tiny
bowels to healthy regularity. To avoid
the fretfulness, vomiting, crying, failure
to gain, and other ills of constipated
babies.
Dr. Caldwells’ Syrup Pepsin is good
for any baby^For this, you have the word
of a famous doctor. Forty-seven years of
practice taught him just what babies
need to keep their little bowels active,
regular; keep little bodies plump and
healthy. For Dr. Caldwell specialized
in the treatment of women and little
ones. He attended over 3500 births with-
out loss of one mother or baby.
