Contract Sale of Mortgaged Property 
We, the first parties, sold our mort¬ 
gaged farm to a second party, and gave 
only a “bill of sale.’’ providing for regu¬ 
lar payments of principal and interest 
for three years. Then the second party 
is to receive deed and mortgage, trans¬ 
ferred. and now second party refuses to 
pay interest and principal as per agree¬ 
ment, on the plea of poverty, and we had 
to pay interest on same. Now the mort¬ 
gagee demands a considerable sum on 
principal, since the mortgage is ’long 
overdue, and second party neglects the 
farm and depreciates its value. Are we 
bound to make such payments under the 
circumstances? What rights has second 
party now? Has lie any rights to the 
chattels, since he bought it stocked and 
cropped? What form of procedure are 
we to follow if we want to take posses¬ 
sion of farm? Does it require a court, 
sheriff or lawyer in New Jersey? We 
are obliged to do this, as mortgagee is 
inconsiderate and talks law. not human¬ 
ity. and we cannot make these payments 
of our own means. x. u.

It will he necessary for you to make 
payments on the mortgage and interest 
in order to protect your own interest. 
It probably would be wise for you to 
foreclose your contract of sale. Tii order 
to do tins properly it will be necessary 
for you to employ an attorney. The 
mortgagee should not be criticized for 
demanding his pay if the farm is depre¬ 
ciating iu value, ami if the mortgage is 
past due he has a right to demand his 
money at any time. x. T.

Breach of Contract 
I would like to know my legal stand¬ 
ing in Ibis case. I have several hundred 
dollars invested. In September. 1010. I 
bought an old gristmill and machinery 
for .WOO. I was to have until March 1. 
1020. to remove the building and machin¬ 
ery, and a year if need be to pay for 
the same. In the middle of March, 1020. 
I was forced to pay in full, and am for¬ 
bidden the privilege of removing any 
more material. This no-removal notice

Puncture Proof Tires

Every week Jay for more than two years 
(26 months') this set of Lee Puncture-proof 
Ttres carried ). L. Hodges of Spray, N. C. 
ti and from his work, without a puncture, 
blowout or other trouble. 
I N the experience of Mr. Hodges there is food for serious thought 
by every farmer in the land. For it is just such continuous 
service that is required of every farm owned automobile, truck 
and general service car, if it is to deliver full return on the investment 
it represents. 
Lee Puncture-proof tires are unlike all other pneumatics in that they 
do away entirely with the annoyance, delay and expense of punctures. 
While the first cost of Lee Puncture-proofs is a trifle higher than Lee 
Regular Fabric or Cord tires, they are by no means a “rich man’s 
tire.’’ It is the man who must secure maximum service per dollar of 
tire investment who most appreciates Lee Puncture-proofs. 
The added service, protection and mileage assured by the Lee exclusive 
puncture-proof feature, make this the most ecomonical and satis¬ 
factory pneumatic made, for any car used where road hardships are 
most severe and uninterrupted performance most desirable. 
was served about three weeks afrer my 
time had expired. Is there any legal 
proceedings I can follow to recover my 
property? In our agreement nothing is 
mentioned about reverting to o«ner. 
Since that time the original owners are 
selling the machinery to other parties. 
It has been suggested I go into the court 
of equity and again start replevin pro¬ 
ceedings. A. 
New Jersey. 
By the terms of your agreement you 
were given five months to remove pro¬ 
perty which you had purchased, and hav¬ 
ing foiled to remove the property within 
that time you could not complain if they 
would not extend the time. You do not 
state what method was used to force you 
to pay for the property after the middle 
of March. If the property has changed 
hands and the new owners are the ones 
who are keeping you from getting your 
property, there seems to be no remedy 
unless you should proceed against the 
original owner on the theory that by 
accepting your money after the time 
stated in the agreement he thereby ex¬ 
tended your time to remove. It seems 
that you have waited nearly a year be¬ 
fore making any effort to get your pro¬ 
perty, and it. is very probable that the 
•court would say you were guilty of laches. 
If the present owner of the premises 
(assuming that the property has been 
transferred! is willing that you should 
enter and remove the property, why not 
do so. and let the other fellow commence 
action? X. T. 
Validity of Quit-claim and Warranty 
Deeds 
Would a quit-claim deed be legal, given 
in 1914 and recorded in 1921? The deed 
was signed without witnesses in West 
Virginia, and the property is located in 
Ohio. Would n warranty deed be legal 
without any consideration mentioned, this 
property being located in Ohio? D. B. 
The fact that a quit-claim deed was 
given in 1914 and not recorded until 1921 
would not affect the legality of the d<n>d. 
If the deed was executed in West Virginia 
and acknowledged, no witnesses are neces¬ 
sary. It is always better to follow the 
well-established form of giving the con¬ 
sideration in the deed or a portion of the 
consideration. The English statutes pro¬ 
vided that a voluntary conveyance was 
deemed to have been made with fraudu¬ 
lent views There is probably no State 
in the I'nited States, however, but what 
considers that a gift or voluntary convey¬ 
ance will be effectual between the parties 
there is only liable to tie questioned, in 
cases where the rights of creditors and 
subsequent purchasers are concerned. If 
no consideration is expressed iu the deed, 
whatever consideration passed may be 
proved. n! X.
