LEGAL QUESTIONS. 
Proof of Claim Against Decedent. 
I am running a Lay press, and I baled 
hay for a man named T. A. When I 
moved it in the barn I asked him if he 
would pay for half of the baling, as I’. 
M. had cut the hay on halves and he said 
that he would, and his daughter A., who 
was at home, said so too; and I baled 
the hay. When I got through baling, he 
did not have the money "and said he would 
pay as soon as the hay was delivered. 
T. A. died and, after the funeral was 
over, I went down to collect the money 
and found a change. T. A.’s other daugh¬ 
ter M., from New York, had taken pos¬ 
session and she said that she owned 
everything there, the farm and all, for 
the last seven years; but she had per¬ 
mitted her father to have the use of it 
as long as he lived and, when he died, 
everything was hers, and she would not 
pay one cent of my bill. Can it be col¬ 
lected ? M. s. 
New York. 
This bill surely ought to be collected. 
If this lady owned the farm all this 
while, then her father acted as her un¬ 
disclosed agent and she, having received 
the benefit of your work, cannot now say 
that she will not pay for it. If the 
daughter proves that the property is hers 
and will not pay the bill, you should 
bring an action against her to collect it; 
if it is not hers then you can file a claim 
against the estate of the father. 
Septic Tank as Nuisance. 
Will you inform me how close to a 
dwelling a septic tank can be placed ac¬ 
cording to law? The village of East- 
wood is putting in a tank at the back of 
my place, which will spoil the sale of at 
least 10 building lots for me, as it is 
placed in a position which otherwise 
would have been made into a street. Will 
you advise me if I have any redress in 
the matter and what steps to take? 
New York. R. ir. p. 
There does not appear to be any law 
regulating the distance from a dwelling 
at which a septic tank can be placed. If 
this septic tank will provp a nuisance, 
injurious to the health, you may com¬ 
plain to the local board of health and 
they must take action to remedy it, and 
if it is otherwise a nuisance but not in¬ 
jurious to health, you may take legal 
proceedings to have the nuisance abated; 
but at the present time there appears to 
be nothing that you can do except to use 
your persuasion upon the village author¬ 
ities to have it located at some other 
place. In all these matters of improve¬ 
ment someone is liable to suffer incon¬ 
venience so that the majority may be 
benefited, but you cannot be made to suf¬ 
fer in health for the benefit even of a 
village or city. Your best plan of action 
would seem to take this matter up with 
the local board of health. 
Support of Wife and Children. 
I having cause to leave my wife and 
two children, nine days after she had me 
arrested charging me with desertion and 
non-support. I support my two children, 
pay $16 a month, but do not support my 
wife; but she keeps the two children. 
We had separation papers issued two 
years ago, which will be up August 23rd. 
If I call on my wife with a witness and 
ask her to come and live with me again, 
as her home is there if she will come, by 
doing this if she refuses to do so will I 
have to support ‘her or not? At the 
hearing she said she did not want any¬ 
thing, she just wanted support for her 
children and she would work for her liv¬ 
ing. This statement was made in pres¬ 
ence of three witnesses. F. w. D. 
Pennsylvania. 
It would appear from the reading of 
your letter that your wife has obtained a 
separation from you and that you are to 
pay $10 per month for the support of the 
two children who live with her. Whether 
you can ask her to come back to your 
home would depend upon the terms of the 
separation decree. If there is nothing 
to the contrary in the decree, or is not 
provided otherwise, and you offer to pro¬ 
vide a good home for her where you will 
be kind to her, it is always her duty to 
come back to you. You must understand 
rhat you cannot use this request merely 
as a ruse to get rid of paying for the 
support of your children, but if you are 
in earnest and intend to treat your wife 
properly and support her, she should 
come back. 
Regulation of City Markets. 
A lot of market gardeners have formed 
an association for the purpose of getting 
better market facilities in Newark, N. J. 
The present authorities of Newark are 
driving us out of our present market site 
without providing for another suitable 
place for us. Now we contemplate buy¬ 
ing our own site and establishing a 
farmers’ wholesale market governed by 
farmers. Must we get a permit from the 
authorities of the community we locate 
in to establish such a market? If so can 
they refuse it? D. H. 
New Jersey. 
The regulation of public markets and 
the provisions for erecting new ones are 
governed entirely by the State laws re¬ 
specting the erection of markets in cities 
and by the city ordinances of Newark. 
The State law provides that whenever in 
the judgment of the common council or 
other governing body of any city market 
facilities or additional facilities are or 
may be required for public uses the com¬ 
mon council shall appoint commissioners 
to purchase such lands and erect build¬ 
ings thereon to be used as a public mar¬ 
ket, and provision is made in the city 
ordinances for one market called Cen¬ 
tral Market. If you contemplate locating 
a new market in the city you will have 
to get the consent of the city authorities; 
probably of the committee on public mar¬ 
kets. If you have had trouble with the 
market committee, it probably will not 
be an easy matter to persuade the com¬ 
mon council that a new market is needed. 
And if they come to the conclusion that 
the market facilities at present are suffi¬ 
cient. they could refuse to authorize the 
building of a new market. If you are 
properly organized and can make noise 
enough and can get a hearing in the city 
newspapers, the council might deem it ad¬ 
visable to give you a permit to establish 
a new market. 
Two Irishmen were washing windows 
on the tenth floor of a London building, 
and one of them lost his footing and fell 
to the pavement below. His frightened 
companion ran down the stairs and had 
just reached the fallen man’s side as the 
doctor said : “I guess the poor fellow is 
dead.” At that the injured man opened 
his eyes and said: “Oi’m not dead.” 
"Keep quiet,” said the other Irishman, 
“sure the doctor must know best.”—Cre¬ 
dit Lost.

Tire Prices 
That We Call Unjust 
Let men, if they will, claim a tire as good 
as the Goodyear No-Rim-Cut tire. But 
don’t let men claim a better tire to charge 
you a higher price. 
Bear in mind that Goodyear tires hold 
top place in Tiredom. They outsell any 
other. After millions of tests, men are 
adopting them faster than ever. Our this 
year’s sales break every record, by 55 
per cent. 
And these tires offer four great features 
found in no other tire. Compel the men 
who ask higher prices to show some rea¬ 
son for them. 
From $5 to $15 More 
Sixteen makes of tires now sell above 
the Goodyear prices. The price per tire 
will often run from $5 to $15 more. 
The reason lies in our 
mammoth output, our 
factory efficiency, our 
modest profit. It results 
from Goodyear popular¬ 
ity. Those extra prices, 
we can prove to you, are 
utterly unjust. 
Four Things Lacking 
These four things are lacking in every 
other tire: 
Our No-Rim-Cut feature —the only 
feasible way to end the ruin of rim-cutting. 
Our “On-Air” cure —an extra, costly 
process which saves the countless blow¬ 
outs due to wrinkled fabric. 
Our rubber rivets —hundreds of 
which are formed, during vulcanizing, to 
combat loose treads. 
Our All-Weather tread —the anti¬ 
skid which runs like a smooth tread. A 
tough, double-thick tread with deep, sharp, 
resistless grips.

No extra price buys these things, nor 
anything that’s like them. Nor can it buy 
a better tire in any other way. Can you 
think—with our prestige 
—wewould let any maker 
give you more than Good¬ 
year gives? 
If not, get Goodyear 
tires at Goodyear prices. 
Any dealer will supply 
them.
