Stock Market Turns Into Dreary
 Affair as A pathetic Traders Fail
 To Show Much Interest In Issues
Light Offerings and Gen. eral Neglect Help to Force Prices Down-De- clining List Unusual in Last Days of Year.

New York, Dec. 26 LP,-The post holiday stock market was an anti climactic and dreary affair today.
 Prices crept lower under unusual ly light offerings. The losses in pivotal shares were mostly small, but Q few issues broke into new low ground. The market was, indeed, an extreme contrast to the vigorous ad- vance which followed the Christmas holiday a year ago.
 several Issues Sold
 Several of the merchandising is- sues were sold presumably on the theory that earnings from holiday trade would be disappointing, be- cause Of reduced profit margins.
 Macy declined more than points, and Sears Roebuck ?, to new low levels. Woodwork, Best X Co. and Associated Dry Goods eased moder- ately. Gillette dropped about ? to a rew medium under 19, and Southern Pacific, Coca Cola, and Western Union declined as much. L. $. Steel, American Telephone, American Can, Lisgett and Myers ?. New York Central, North American and Para mount sagged q point or more. The lis frmcd for a time in the morn ing. Eastman making a temporary gain of points.
 A declining stock market in the last week Of the ;ear has been rare in stock market history. Selling to establish losses for income tax pur- poses has usually been completed by that time, and traders have been inclined to accumulate stocks in ex- pectation Of a January rcinvest- ment demand. Furthermore. holding and investment companies have favored firm market at the close of the year, to give large market value 10 their holdings ;s reported in their December 31 statements.
 Neglect Most to Blame
 Today's stock market appeared to suffer from neglect as much as any thing. There was little in the husi- ness news to encourage speculation for the rise, and many traders who left town for the holiday planned 10 stay away until next Monday. The opinion was expressed in brokera ge circles that there was still a little belated tax selling in progress, and the feeble tone Of the list encour- aged bear selling.
 Anaconda was an active and firm feature Of the early trading. Declar- alton Of the regular dividend was en- coura ging, as was that statement which accompanied the announce ment, showing that the company as q unit, was one of the lowest cost producers in the industry. Cost per pound. after all charges was placed at 863 cents.
 Business reports reflected little but the year-end quiet normally ap- parent at this time. It was pointed out, however, that the year-end let down started from an abnormally low level, producing such wide spread slaCkness that such indica- tors as to the new years activity. as are often apparent at this time, were lacking.
 Credit rates were in the main sta- tionary but call money. officially at ? per cent. was firm, refectine the year-end and banking demand for funds,

WILLARD LEAVENS
TO BE ORDAINED

Next Sunday, Mr.. Willard w. Lea
vens, Redwood Falls boy, will be
ordained and set aside to the minis
try in the local Church of Christ. Mr..
Leavens had requested that the serv-
ice be held in the afternoon in the new
church if possible. This is where he
had spent much of his time as a
young man, and here among old
friends he had desired that this
sacred service in his life should take
place.
However, it seems best not to use
the new basement for another week,
and for this reason the ordination
service will be held at the morning
hour in the Armory conducted by the
pastor and assisted by the Elders of
the church. Mr.. Leavens has been
invited to preach the sermon at the
evening service. He is at present a
senior in the Minneapolis Bible Col
lege, and should there be any delay in
his arrival here because of other
church duties the ordination will take
place at the evening service.
Mr.. Willard Leavens has had the
unusual experience to be called upon
by the Mankato church, one of the
strongest in the state, to preach for
them. during his senior year in college.
This is a remarkable testimony to the
young mans ability and conservation.
And all this time the work at Man.
kato has been making wonderful pro-

HAS BROADCASTING
STATION AT WORK

Few people know that there is a
radio broadcasting station five miles
northeast of Sleepy Eye, yet a very
fine station is owned and operated by
herman Radlotf on his fathers farm
at that location, a station that broad
casts not only in code, the dot and
dash system, but which is capable of
broadcasting the human voice or
musical programs in the same man.
ner as the higher powered stations
which are so greatly enjoyed, says
the Sleepy Eye Herald-Dispatch.
Mr.. Radloff has been interested in
radio work for several years and is
a member of the naval reserve corps
of radio operators who while not ac-
lively engaged in the governments
employe, are subject to call at any
time. His title is that of Licensed
Amateur Experimental Radio Opera
tor. There are only fifteen in Mime
sofa holding similar positions.
Mr.. Radloff states that his equip
ment, naturally, is not of high pow
er, but that he can broadcast to good
effect at distances as far as four
hundred to five hundred miles. His
meter wave length is 80 and 160 and
his station name W9AIR. Other
nearby operators with whom he con-
verses frequently are George Cob
lirsch of Vesta, station call WOLFE
and Ray Taper of st. James, sta
tion W9EAT. The three young men
are in communication almost nightly.

ing checkers. Each one has a check

which the plays are made.

SLICKER PUT 1T OVER
ON WORTHINGTON FIRM

Another illustration of the foolish
practice of cashing checks for strang
ers was brought to notice the first
of the week when a Worthington
business firm was caught for $50.
Sheriff Rowe of Mobiles county was
in Jackson Wednesday checking up
with Sheriff Magnussen to see if he
could find any possible clue to a man
by the name of w. A. Beymee, who
cashed a $5C check at the Ford gar
age in Worthington. The check was
made out to C. A. Peterson and was
drawn on the First National Bank of
jackson.
The man that presented the check
was driving a Ford coupe bearing
Minnesota Highway license plate, and
it is quite possible that he slipped
his clever ruse over on the Worthing-
ton business, because of representing
himself as being connected with the
state department..
1t is another case of "easy' money.
