DOCK A8K8 FOR JUDGMENT OF $8 500 FOR PERSONAL INJURIES An afterrlsp now comes In the matter ot the accident when the Sim Howard auto ran into the crowd on HiRh Btreet while the fancy drill of the Butler, Ind, of P. degree team was being put on some weeks ago. Mr. Dock has filed an action at Deflp.nce wherein he sets forth the manner, extent and result of his injuries, his detention from business, hospital expenses, and asks for Judgment for the $8,500. A demurrer will probably be filed by Mr.

Howard and his attorney and the matter will probably make a lawsuit ihnt will attract much attention If not sealed out ot court. MUST BUY WHEAT BY GRADE Wheat mill be graded much more rigidly on the present crop than last year, first bees use all Indications are to the effect that the quality will vary greatly, but above this Is the better orgsnlzstlon and the better equipment. and the more efficient organization for supervising the work of all inspectors. This means that every wheat buyer in the county must grade his purchases much more carefully than be did last year. The Gi iln Corporation will require all licenses under contract with it to buy wheat from proda ers by grade.

No. 3 will be taken at 7c under No. 1. All wheat grndlng below No. will soil on Its merits by sample, bftt buyers will be required to keep a record of their grading and tha reasons for placing any lot of wheat In the lower grades, Buying wheat all rradea at the same price will no longer be tolerated.

It nmr.t be bought by grade, and in line with the discounts fixed by the Grain Corporation for No. 2 and poorer grades. Buying grain by kind, ail of one price for a kind hr.s long been In vogue, to the discouragement of the careful conscientious farmer and to the financial loss of every praln buyer who accepted all grain at one price. In spite of his vow not to pay the ton of the market for all crala received, competition all too frequently led the dealer Into paying the snms for Jones' wheat as he did for Whites', although Jones wheat would not grade above sample in the market. Both the grain dealer and the grain grower know that the law p.rade Btuff will not sell for ss much in the terminal market as No.

1, yet shiftless, lackadaisical methods have led them Into tolerating that of pioneer days, when all grr.des of a grain com manded the same price In the terml' nal markets, as weil na in the country markets. Grain grading has been re duced to a more science than ever before, and vbeat bryers must now profit by closer classification and buy all wheat by grade, least on this crop.
