LEGAL QUESTIONS. 
Contract of Hiring. 
I HIRED out to a man to work on his 
farm for a year, but made no written 
contract with him. only verbally. 
Before I took this position he stated 
in a letter that he would hire me for six 
months. After that I talked with him 
and said he wanted me for 12 months. 
This man is of a very ugly disposition 
and discharged hired help without just 
cause; had lawsuits with some. If he 
disliked me and told me to get out. could 
I file a lawsuit for a year's wages 
against him? .Some time ago he had to 
pay a hired man eight months' wages; 
was forced to by law. it. b. 
New Jersey. 
Everything here would depend on the 
contract you finally made with your em¬ 
ployer ; whether your evidence would 
establish that after your employer wrote 
that he would hire you for six months 
he made a new verbal contract to hire 
you for a year. This contract, if it could 
not be performed within a year, would 
be void as within the statute of frauds. 
It should have been in w.iting. What¬ 
ever contract you succeed in establishing 
you . ay recover wages for the full term 
if your employer discharges you before 
the end without just cause. if. d.

Outlawed Bill; Property in Trust. 
1. A owes a hill for goods bought in 
Illinois and A. living in Connecticut, has 
not paid anything on this bill for five 
years last May. I low long will it be be¬ 
fore this bill will outlaw? 2. A who 
cannot have any property in his name, 
would like to purchase some real estate 
in company with B and would like to 
arrange so that A’s name would not 
show nil the deeds and at the same time 
hold papers so that A could hold his 
share of the property. Ileal estate is 
now deeded to B. In other words, what 
form of writing would A want from B, 
so that A could hold his half interest in 
the property and not have it deeded 
to A V w. a. o. 
Connecticut. 
1. Actions on written contracts or 
other evidences of indebtedness in writ¬ 
ing, in which class the claim against you 
would presumably be, are barred in 
Illinois 10 years after the cause of action 
occurred. 
2. The proper procedure in this cast* 
would be for B. to execute a declaration 
of trust that lie holds an undivided one- 
half share of the property for A.

Fence Along New Jersey Railroad. 
I NOTICED the Statement that the 
laws of New Jersey compelled the 
railroads to build and maintain 
fences along their property. Does this 
mean the whole fence or only one-half? 
The Central Railroad of New Jersey 
passes through the farm occupied by my 
father. When the Pennsylvania Rail¬ 
road Company bought the right of way, 
they built all of the fence on both sides 
of the track, as they said (at the time) 
they were compelled by law to do this. 
Since that time they have refused to re¬ 
pair but one-half of the fence. The land 
is needed for pasture, but this is impos¬ 
sible, as the fence is gone. Will you ad¬ 
vise me as to whether they are required 
to build the fence? c. II. A. 
New Jersey. 
The laws of New Jersey provide that 
every railroad company organized under 
the. laws of that State shall erect and 
maintain fences on the side of its road, of 
the height and strength of division fences 
required by law, with gates or bar-ways 
at farm crossings, and the Central Rail¬ 
road of New Jersey is a New Jersey 
corporation. There was nothing in the 
deed by which the railroad company ob¬ 
tained title which would make it neces¬ 
sary for you to pay any share in the 
construction of tho fence, and vou should 
tell the company that under Section 21 
of the General Railroad Law they are 
compelled to maintain the fence, and 
that you intend to use the adjoining 
land for pasture and will hold them liable 
for any damages sustained by reason of 
th° poor f*>ne<\ 
Lease Includes Fruit Trees. 
A owns a place with house and one- 
half acre ground, which lias some fruit 
trees on it. which he rents to B. No 
mention is made of the fruit. Is it a law 
in this State that A has a right to take 
tLe fruit and B lias no right to touch 
it unless so specified at time of renting? 
New York. m. s. e. 
Considerable would depend upon the 
terms of the lease, but where this does 
not mention the fruit trees specifically 
but merely mentions “land” or “house 
and lot" the fruit trees being part of the 
realty would be included within the 
terms of the lease. B would therefore 
be entitled to the fruit and A could not 
touch it. Indeed, A would be a trespasser 
if he came upon the land to get tho 
fruit.

Labor Cost Cut to l / 3 
$698 Biggest Saving of All 
Don’t forget that the workmanship on any home 
costs more than the lumber. We save you % the 
labor cost because Sterling Homes come with each 
part measured and cut-to-fit. 
One can erect a Sterling home before the fastest 
workman can cut and erect the frame of an ordinary 
house. So we save you enormous labor expense, in 
addition to the retail and wholesale profits on your 
building materials.

As to 
KNOTS 
or Other Blemishes 
A great deal of lumber 
now-a-days contains knots, 
warps,worm holes, softplaoes, 
rot spots, etc. But Sterling 
is free from blemishes. Every 
beam, board and rafter and 
every other piece is straight 
and sound. To prove that, 
we are willing to ship you 
the materials and let you 
inspect them before sending 
us a penny. 
Remember what “Ster¬ 
ling” means on silver. It 
means the same on lumber.

A Real Home Every Hour 
Think of a factory that cuts a home per hour! 
That wastes but 2% in cutting parts to fit, as against 
the 18% waste of hand sawing and fitting! How 
can hand labor ever hope 
to compete with this ma¬ 
chine efficiency! 
And this we do without 
haste or hurry. Each part 
and piece is cut with a 
precision and accuracy 
that no human hand can 
equal. 
Is it any wonder that we 
can supply better materials 
and better workmanship? 
Or that we who are actual 
forest and mill owners,can 
sell at less than others. 
Last year during the 
building season a thousand 
homes were made in this 
factory and sold. Real 
Homes, they were too-not‘‘Houses”-but the kind 
of homes women love for the conveniences, thaf 
men love for the comforts; that all love for the 
beauty and refinement.
