WASHINGTON.—Credit and in-
stallment business in the United
States is enormous and yet the Amer-
ican people are paying their bills,
Edwin B. George, chief of the mar-
keting- service division of the. com-
merce department, declared Friday.
A survey conducted by the depart-
ment showed the annual volume of
retail credit business is in excess of
20 billion dollars and that annual
credit loses, many of which are avoid-
able, approximate but 200 million
dollars.
“We can breathe a sigh of relief at
the discovery that with all of their
open credit and installment commit-
ments, the American people are not
yet hopelessly mortgaged,” George
declared.
One irate editor demands that Chi-
cago put Al Capone behind the bars,

AUSTIN.—Mercy caravans moving
on Austin in the hope that there will
be more liberal openings of the State
prison doors before Gov. Dan Moody
retires on Jan. 20,. are due to disap-
pointment, it became apparent
around the Governor’s office this
morning.
A formal announcement from tire
Governor that the clemency seekers
might as well save time and car fare
is imminent.
There will ’ be less clemencies for
the closing two weeks of Governor
Moody’s administration than for
other two-week period of his d-----
term.
Lt became known today that the
Governor is considering a formal an-
nouncement on the topic.
The decision to put up the bars
against applications for pardons, pa-
roles and furloughs is not based on a
change of view regarding them, but
because the Governor believes all his
remaining time in office is needed -

SHERMAN. — UT
Grayson County
League into three divisions for bas-
ketball competition was "made at a
meeting of school officials and
coaches at the Y. M. C. A. Saturday
afternoon, according to H. C. Filgo,
of Van Alstyne, director-general of
the county interscholastic league.
As was decided at a former meet-
ing, the Grayson County league will
operate separately from the Sher-
man-Denison league. The three di-
visions created for the Grayson Coun-
ty league at Saturday’s meeting are:
Class A, Class B and rural class.
Three schools, which have 120 or
more students in high school, are in
Class A, these being ’Van Alstyne,
Whitesboro and Whitewright.
Twelve schools were found to be
in the Class B group, these being
Howe, Sadler, Pottsboro, Bells, Gun-
ter, Pilot Grove, Gordonville, South-
mayd and Cannon.
All other schools in the. county
were classed as rural schools and
they will play their own separate
schedule under direction of Carl Mc-
Allister of the Unity School, who is
director of rural schools in the inter-
scholastic league.
Van Alstyne and all the repair work
on the trucks is done by Van Alstyne
mechanics. One of these trucks
visits Whitewright almost every day,
and some of our merchants buy
bread off of it. The only thing the
truck leaves in Whitewright is the
fumes from the Van Alstyne gaso-
line, and the driver takes a few
Whitewright dollars to Van Alstyne
to be put in the Van Alstyne bank.
And that is not all. The Sun heard
of a bakery that is not located over
twenty-five miles from Whitewright
that sold bread in Whitewright put
up in a wrapper like the one used by
the local bakery and used the same
name for its bread as the local bakery
uses. The only difference in the
wrapper and the one used by the lo-
cal bakery was that the name of the
bakery and town in which it is lo-
cated did appear on the wrapper.
The Whitewright bakery is not
ashamed of its product and each
wrapper used has the name of the
bakery on it and the word “White-
wright” in plain letters. Start the
New Year by buying home made
products, when it is possible. And
don’t forget the home merchants
when you make purchases. It we had
no home merchants there would be
no Whitewright. Some people think
it pays them to drive forty miles to
make a $5.00 purchase, but they
never take into consideration the
gasoline they use and the wear on
their automobile. If they did they
would think twice before making a
long trip to make a few small pur-
chases.
NEW YORK.—Rumors that
Ford Motor Company would intro-
duce radical changes in the Ford car
were set at rest Saturday when the
company placed the Model A car on
exhibition in its annual show in New
Y ork.
Instead of exhibiting in the New
York Automobile Show, the Ford Mo-
tor Company holds its own exhibit of
Fords and Lincolns each year in its
building at 1710 Broadway coinci-
dent with the Automobile Show. The
display this year' includes the full
line of Model A cars, but, with the
exception of the addition of the de
luxe body types announced during
the last year, the only changes are
the improvements made from time to
tiiiie during the year in accordance
with the Ford policy of avoiding an-
nual models.
Representatives of the Ford Motor
Company said the Model A would be
exhibited in automobile shows
throughout the country. They added
that no changes in the car are con-
ments as are ordinarily made in the
course of production.
WANTS LAW FOR MINIMUM

ator-elect Georgei C. Purl.

Whitewright merchants have been
attracting trade from a distance for
the past two years. The trade terri-
tory of Whitewright seems to be
spreading out more each year. This
increase in trade is partly the result
of Whitewright merchants carrying
iwell assorted stocks of merchandise
j^jd selling at populai- prices, and to
^■^actzfhaL smaller towns in this
MTo not have the large stocks
Hiandise formerly carried by
®|^erchants. And as a result
Be who formerly made their pur-
^ps in the smaller towns are now

Hntinue to carry large assorted
■rocks, our trade territory will con-
tinue to grow. But it will not unless
rwe keep abreast of the times.
’ -----------o----------
Whitewright witnessed the erec-
tion during the past year of two brick
homes, a modern brick church edifice,
a brick filling station, and othei’ sub-
stantial improvements. These fol-
lowed an even larger building pro-
gram in 1929. And we believe 1931
has in store another modern church
Lidifice for Whitewright, and other
^kiprovements that will make our lit-
^^town more modern and attractive.
