February 3, 1917. 
A Bee-Line to Everyone 
Straight as the bee flies and 
quick as though caught by 
lightning the voice in the tele¬ 
phone carries near and far over 
this Nation. 
I This marvelous instrument is 
the pre-eminent vehicle of speed 
and speech. Railroads cover the 
country, but your traveler often 
must alight with bag and bag¬ 
gage and change trains to get 
to a given point. Railroads 
reach cities, towns and villages. 
The telephone reaches the in¬ 
dividual. 
’ The telephone offers con¬ 
tinuous passage for the voice 
and unbroken connections to 
the uttermost places because it 
is a united System co-ordinated 
to the single idea of serving the 
entire people of this country. 
It has been a powerful factor, 
along with the transportation 
systems, in the magnificent 
achievements of the United 
States—helping to prepare the 
way where latent possibilities 
of mines, forests and farms 
were to be developed. 
The continued growth of our 
national prosperity depends in 
a great measure upon the main¬ 
tenance and continued growth 
of the utilities which furnish 
the means of intercourse and 
interchange. They are the 
indispensable servants of the 
individual, the community and 
the entire nation.

FEAVI DUTI KEROSENE ENGINES are 
money savers, they are safe, easy to run, cost 
one-third less for fuel, work as well on gasoline 
as on kerosene, they are the 20th Century power. 
They do everything that the gasoline engine 
will do and do it with a saving of money and in¬ 
creased safety from fire. Twenty years experience

Legal Questions 
Outlaw of Notes 
"Wonld a proniis.sory iioto tlrtnvn up in 
the y«'a.- 1905 still be good, and can it 
be collected from the estate of ‘:be man 
who drew it up and signed it, the note 
never having boon renewed, but th(> in¬ 
terest having been kept paid? Th(> man 
who made the not<i died this year, iind 
questioner would like to know if note is 
good or not before presenting it lor jiay- 
meut. Answer according to laws of New 
York State. it. .x. 
I’ennsylvania. 
The payment of the interest prevents 
the running of the statute of limitations 
and the outlaw of the note. The note 
is good and may he presented for pay¬ 
ment to the administriitor or executor. 
The only question would be proof of the 
jiayment of iuterost. 
Foreclosure of Mortgages 
I own a farm in New York on whieh 
there is a mortgage of $500, now due. 
The people who hold tlie mortgage sent 
me a registered letter giving me 90 days’ 
notice tliat they would call it in. I am 
afraid I shall not be able to got anyone 
to take it up, as I have no friends with 
that amount of money, an,l it will be a 
hard matter to get a strangi'r to tiike 
it up. Can they sell the iiroperty with¬ 
out any further notice to me. or dn they 
have to go to court? Does the projierty 
Iiave to be advertised in the papers? 
How much time would that’me give me 
over and above^ the ilO days? i’. (>. 
Massachusetts. 
Tn New York mortgages are generally 
foreclosed by court procimdings. which 
take (“onsiderable time. Tliey may also 
be foreclosed by advertisement, if a 
clause to that effect is inserted in the 
mortgage. In either case the property 
cannot be sold, under ordinary circum¬ 
stances, in, say, less than three months 
after proceedings are commenced, and 
tliis is so iu your case, as you live out¬ 
side the State, and service of the papers 
on you is slower. So after the 90 days 
are up you will get notice of the pro¬ 
ceedings, and will then have, in all prob¬ 
ability, another three mouths or so be¬ 
fore the sale is completed. 
Lien of Judgment 
T hold a judgment against R., amply 
secured by real estate, but for friendly 
reasons I do not want to put it on riM'ord 
as a lien during the life of D. A.ssnming 
that I outlive B., immediately upon his 
death can I enter the lien on record and 
get ])ref(“renc(' on the I'oal estate against 
any other common creditors, not of 
record ? w. F. Jt. 
IV'imsylvauia. 
I cannot speak anthoritativel.v on 
Ihmnsylvania law, but my idea is as fol¬ 
lows: That on the death of B. the title 
to his real property passes immediately 
to his heirs, and as the judgment be- 
coiiH’s a lien only when it is of record 
it would bo of uo value if filed after the 
death of B.. because your judgment is 
against a person who is not then the 
legal owner of the property. Another 
thing to guard against is that your judg¬ 
ment does uot become outlawed by your 
holding it during B.’s lifetime. 
Collection of Judgment 
A has a judgment against B in New 
.Tersey. B lives in New Jersey, hut lias a 
hank account in New York State. Can 
above account be attached and judgment 
eollofded? E. K. 
New Jersey. 
'I'he New York jiroperty cannot he at¬ 
tached nor collection made from it on the 
New .Jersey judgment, as the jurisdiction 
of the courts and the officers of a State do 
not extend outside the State, rroeeed- 
ings would have to be begun in New York 
on the New Jersey judgment, and an at¬ 
tachment on the property in New York 
could then be obtained.

Payment of Tcixes in Different Tax Districts 
I own ii farm of ncros in the 1 own 
of North ('olliiis. Property is assessed 
as farm propert.v. Taxes of State anJ 
county paid to town collector. The vil¬ 
lage of North Collins iucorporated takes 
in 11*4 fft’iT's of my farm. Can thi'v 
hold me for corporation taxes in said 
village? My farm buildings are wholly 
outside of village corporation Hue. I 
have paid taxes demauded of me from the 
village, but. under protest. C. av. b. 
New Yox’k. 
The general rule is that if a farm or 
lot is divided b.v a Hue between two or 
more tax districts it shall be assessed in 
the tax district in whieh the dwelling 
house or other principal buildings are 
located, the same as if the farm or lot was 
wholly iu such tax district, except that if 
the land is unoccupied or has no build¬ 
ings the iiart in each district shall he sep¬ 
arately assessed. But whore a farm is 
divided by a boundary line between a 
town and village incorporated under the 
village law, the part thereof within the 
boundaries of the village is assessable for 
village purposes for the reason that the 
village is held to be not a tax district.
