STOCK MARKET CLOSES HEAVY Little Change in Trade During Final Activities. NEW YORK. Aug. s—The stock market cln*ed heavy today. There was no Important change in trading conditions in the last hour, although a few issues were in demand to cover shorts in the iast few minutes of business and rallied slightly from the lowest range of the afternoon. Mexican petroleum, after selling at 104%. moved to 105 and General Ashphalt also had a fractional recovery. Great Northern preferred continued in supply and sold down to anew low for the day just before the close. Other Issues moved within a narrow range. Total sales of stocks were 469,000 shares; bonds, $19,957,000. (By Thomson & McKinnon.) —Aug. 5 Dullness and weakness went hand In hand in today's market. An excess of offerings, with only a scattered demand was apparent almost as soon as the market opened Sharp declines were made in a few issues. but on the whole the break was orderly and the result of further realizing sales, as well as short selling, brought about by a continuation of 6 per cent money, further talk of reduced dividends, and the theory that the recent advance was somewhat premature. Copper metal sold at 11% cents, the lowest since 1914. If this price does not stimulate a demand there may be further dividend adjustments in those of the cop pers which have been sufficiently favored to have continued dividend disburse ments up to this time. High money is retarding public investment. Until that condition be eliminated, little can be looked for in the way of a sustained advance. TWENTY STOCKS AVESRAGE. XEW YORK.

GRAINS SUFFER BIG DECLINES Px*ohibition of Grain Speculation Causes Nervousness. CHICAGO, Aug. s.—Big declines in grain prices marked trading in the Chicago grain market today. The slump was partly due to hedging by those who have over bought the market The passage of a law in Minnesota designed to restrict speculation in grains made traders here a bit nervous. The heavy unemployment situation both locally and over the country, was a contributing factor. The brokers are wondering how big prices can bo paid for bread when there are *0 in ain jobless Provisions were lower. September wheat opened off %e at $1.21% and closed 3c lower.

WOMEN IMPROVE CHANCE ON FARM Conduct Many Side Issues and Make Money. WASHINGTON, Aug. 5. — Farm women are more and more taking advantage of oportunities, not open to city women, to earn their own spending money in the various enter; rises possible to conduct on the farm. Ways of doing this are taught by tlie home demonstration agents, whose special duty it is to establish helpful contact with families in their respective districts. Some of the stories told by tiie home demonstration agents 'n their reports to the United States Departmeut of Agriculture are very human recitals. v There probably is no busier woman than a certain Mrs. Valentine, living on a farm in Jackson County, Arkansas. Mrs Valentine raised two acres of garlic In 1918. eight acres ia 1919. and ten acres in 1920. She sells the buttons or roots, for planting, and the tops, or sets, for seasoning to the chili factories. SOLD 30,000 POUNDS OF GARUIC. 111 1919 this woman, according to a carefully verified report, sold .80.000 pounds of garlic at 30 cents a pound and 15.000 pounds of seeds, or top sets, in addition, this woman manages a 900acre farm, her home and several children, xvhile tier husband manages several rice plantations in another county. Fa in women ha\> nil kinds of moneymaking schemes, every one of them involving work and patience and determinat.on. A Mrs. Hilliard, near Athens, Ga., sold $855 worth of pork in 1920, the result of her own labor, and now has several milk cows with which she expects to earn more money. A woman near Hobart, Okia., chose sheep as her particular activity. From fire head, her start, she raised eleven in 191S. Six rams were sold for $49 and wool brought $24 The second year. 1919, her wool sold for $49 and her sheep f>r sl9. In 1920 this woman sold $lO9 worth of wool and had s'xty sheep in her flock.

GIRL IS DEPUTY MAYOR OF TOWN Handles Reins of Government at El Dorado, Ark. EL DORADO. Ark., Aug. 5.—A stout, red faced and smiling young chap from) out-West-somewhere blew' into the office of Mayor Frank H. Smith of El Dorado,' Ark . recently and requisitioned an early contact with the cominander-ln-cklef of the . ty government. Th( order was deliver'd, in the absence of the mayor, to Miss Ruby Stow, the mayor's secretary. "l’"rhaps 1 can be of service to you,” saiil the smiling young secretary. "Talk to uie about your matter.” ei:. ' replied tly visitor. ‘‘l've looked tliis village over pretty thoroughly and have concluded it’s about time the whole kit an.: idlin' to get on a jag. I want a p.rtnif from the city to set a hogs-* head of beer of the corner of the pubiii: square and invite all the thirsty to par-, take. "AN ACT OF MERCY.” "These people are thirsty. They are famishing for beer. It wrnuld beau act of mercy to give them a good jag.” Th“ deputy mayor told the permit applicant that he was asking the impossibb. She said the r ity authorities were enfoiiir.g the law and maintaining order. Tn • chagrined applicant retreared in disorder as If he had mad# the request in all seriousness. < ‘"I hat was tin* most unusual request'' we have had here,” said Aliss Stow, “but we have had thousands secretly eneouchiug plans to violate the law.” Ruby Stowe, native of graduate of the El Dorado High School, and assistant to the busiest small city mayor in the United States, says she has an Income of "a million u week.’* but she hastily added the: it consisted of questions and not dollars. KNOWS CITY’S STATUTES U ELL. Blie know., the statutes of El Doradoas well as any alderman, and can eern as quickly as any Judge between matters of law observance and law violation. She writes nearly all permit* signed by the mayor, and the number has run into the thousands, for it must be remembered El Dorado is the 1921 sensation in oil and it has been almost without competition, drawing the idle, and the curious from the ends of tho earth. She relieves the mayor of many time-killing and perfectly useless Conors., tions by intercepting and answering questions of callers. Disappointment will mon be due to' overtake concessions es along ths double-track midway that extends southward from the public s iare to the new industrial district. Miss Stow said, for trie city is forced to demand space occu-r pied by the majority of ‘hem in order to extend its water system The hundreds of little temporary build- ■ ings and tents that line two sides of the thoroughfare and constitute El Dorado's "ragtown ' are installed between sidewalk and curb in parking and from sidewalk into private property, facing each tither from opposite sides of th’D- ! narrow concrete walk. It Is the only paved midway in an oil field town. Also it is the narrowest of all midways. Classes of business range from ham- ! burger stands to beauty parlors. A block of that section of H on the ea® side of the street parallels an abandoned old cemetery, and gravestones marking the resting place of founders gS j the city are within twelve feet of the open fronts of drink stands and eating places and doll racks that front them ,with opoD face. i Concessionares have 6hort-term lease contracts embodying brief notice of re- ' moral. The breaking up of this noisy ' little colony of barkers, spielers and nondescript rapid-fire bidders for busi--ne*s from thousands of dally trekkers will constitute a spectacular innovation in El Dorado almost equating in Interest the arrival of anew oil gusher. Where are the outcasts to go? They ar° bp.rred from the public square. Every other street leading from that center of commerce is jammed to the curb, and in spots beyond the curb, with ail manner of officers and shops and business places, some of them even nearly surrounding the county jail, out of the upstairs windows of which through iron bars peep the eyes of prisoners enamored of the festival that constantly gnii# on without.

NONE OF ITS CHARM LOST. El Dorado has lost none of the riTgitial charm that possessed It sixty days ago. In some respects it has discounted Drnmright and Hanger, particularly in the matter of crowds. It lacks and has always lacked some of the mining camp aspects of Drumright and Ranger, in spite of the always norated presumption that in the hilly pine lands of Arkansas them' always is an abundance cf “corn.” Concessionaires have but one complaint —the crowds are not spending their money. They are “tightwads,’ one bark-; er -‘'id. The operator o fa plctrue shoiF said business was exceedingly good, btife be 4 the only one interviewed to answei the "How's business?” with % smile. Off the midway one hears also of no spending. These Arkansas people arrf more conservative than those of Texas,; Kansas and Oklahoma. They take ioi their ten thousands, their fifty their millions and lay the money away In the bßnk. They know when to quit, according to their own notions. Some of the wealthiest c f them are criticized by new residents for constructing small two-story bricks on valuable business corners rather .than office structures four to six stories high to relieve congestion. NO GUM CHEWING IN THIS CHURCH Hector Says ‘Parking Wad’ Ig ‘Nasty Habit.’ NEW YORK, Aug. 6.—Plans are gloomy days for the gum-chewers in the parish of the Roman Catholic Church of St. Thomas the Apostle, at llßth street and Sr. Nicholas avenue. The rectwf’ of tiie church. Father John B. McGrath, has opened an uncompromising war to the finish against what he terms “a nasty habit, indulged in not only by children but also by grown-ups, who ought to know better." Father McGrath made It plain to a reporter that he had opened hostilities firmly hut in a quiet way, and Is seeking neither outside aid nor notoriety in his campaign. Father McGrath kept his personal dislike of the habit to himself until be noticed that some of his pnrisliioners were in the habit of bringing their gum to church. It is not on nvord that any youngster hud the temerity to “crack his gum” during the sermon; but there was something even worse than this that started the vigorous hostilities which are now iieing directed by the entire church staff against gum of any kind or description. This was the prai tlce of "parking" womont sails of gum wherever the chewer happened to be when the gum had outlived its charm. The fact is vouched for by several of the members of the St. Thomas staff that gum wads were stuck under the seats of pews, on the back of pews, on tbe kneeling benches and even discarded ou the floor.
