The decision of the judge was appealed from and the case win come up in the superior court
 The facts were rather unusual and the law involved will be construed by the higher court on the appeal. The plaintiff, Samuel Sposato, was driv- ing his car in remote section of the town of Killingly. It was night. IL was alleged that the dog of the de- fendant. Raymond E. Tilson, suddenly darted across the highway in front of his car. In an endeaver not to run over the dog Sposato turned his car and ran il into an embankment- The impact damaged the car and somewhat injured the plaintiff and other mem bers of his family. Several other suits are pending based on the same allega- tions. but will doubtless be held m allowance until the superior court de- cides the matter.

Boost your city. boost your friend. Boost the lodge that you attend. Boost the street on which you're
 dwelling,
 Boost the goods that you are selling. Boost the people, round about you. They can get along without you. But success will quicker find them If they know that you're behind them. Boost for every forward movement, Boost for every new improvement, Boost the man for whom you labor, Boost the stranger and the neighbor. Cease to be a chronic knocker, Cease to be a progress blocker, If you'd make your city better, Boost it to the final letter.

WHEAT, CORN
AVERAGE LOWER
No Sustained Demand From
Buyers in Evidence-Oats
and Provisions Steady

Chicago, Oct. 5.-(P-Increase
selling that was associated with
movement Of the new spring crop
northwest gave a downward swing
10 wheat prices today. 1t was re-
ported that Canada was offering
wheat prices abroad at 3 1-2 cents
under cost.
Corn as we'll as wheat showed a
heavy undertone, with corn specula-
tors aggressive in the selling and
with support for the market slow.
Wheat closed unsettled IA to ga
cents net lower, corn 1-2 to 3-4 cent
down, oats unchanged to 1-8 cent
off, and provisions showing five to
25 cents decline.
Relative weakness Of wheat quo
tations at Liverpool today gave an
advantage at times to the selling
side Of the market here. Apparent
absence Of important immediate new
export business counted also as a
weight on values, and so too did
hedging pressure from the north
west. In this connection, bears con-
tended that Tor at least the time be-
ing demand was at minimum and
the supply virtually maximum.
Declines in the orn market today
were not only in the face Of unfav-
orable weather conditions but not
withstanding reports at hand which
were construed to indicate that the
amount of this years crop, which is
merchantable may go as low as
1900, 100000 bushels. Such to-
tai, it was pointed out, will be the
smallest since 1908.

tiff had sufficient notice for her to
present her claim t the bank
ruptcy hearing. Property set

was started before final decision
