NO BUCKLES TO TEAR 
NO 
P-.i. Vmircolf on this new way of making harness, which is three 
tool 1 UUiaCU times stronger than buckle harness. Before you buy 
harness, let me send you a set of Walsh No-Buckle Harness on 30 days’ Free 
Trial, to show you why this harness is three times stronger without buckles, 
better looking and handier in every way. If not convinced, send it back at my 
expense. The Walsh is a proven success on thousands of farms for over 8 years. 
Three Times Stronger Than Buckle Harness 
Buckles weaken and tear straps. Walsh I Hi-inch breeching strap holds over 
1100 lbs. The same strap with buckles will break at the 
buckle at about 350 lbs. pull. Ordinary harness has 68 
buckles. Walsh Harness has no buckles. Easy to see why 
Walsh i is three times stronger than ordinary harness. 
Packer’s Northern Steer Hide Leather —best that can be tanned. 
COSTS LESS — LASTS TWICE AS LONG 
The Walsh Harness costs less because it saves many a 
dollar in repairs. Users show average repair cost of only 
9 cents per year. No patching, no mending, because no 
rings to wear straps in two, no buckles to weaken and tear 
straps. Greatest advance in harness making. Easily adj ust- 
ed to fit any horse. Write today for new reduced prices.

Legal Questions 
Town Clerk’s Right to Vote 
Has a town clerk, as a member of the 
town board, a vote, same as a justice of 
the peace? In this case a new justice is 
to be appointed. Would town clerk have 
a vote ? s. d. G. 
New York. 
The town clerk, as a member of the 
town board, has the same right as other 
members to vote on all questions coming 
before it. N. T. 
Inheritance from Joint Deed 
We bought a farm here and had the 
deed made a joint one, with my mother’s 
name and mine on it. My mother is a 
widow, and I am married with one child. 
The county clerk told me if my mother 
dies I can hold only my half of the farm. 
When we made out the deed I think my 
mother’s intention, as well as my own, 
was for her share to revert to me. I have 
two brothers and one sister. In case my 
mother does not make a will, how would 
I stand at her death? We are in debt, so 
that should I only have a half interest, 
plus perhaps a share with my brothers 
and sisters, the farm would have to be 
sold to settle matters, as I could not car¬ 
ry it. My wife’s name does not appear 
on the deed. In case anything happens 
to me, my wife could hold only one-third 
of my share. Can I will my half to her 
and child? M. J. 
Ohio. 
If the deed you have is in fact a joint 
deed, on the death of either of the two 
joint owners tlje property goes to the 
survivor. In order to create a joint ten¬ 
ancy in a deed it is necessary to state 
that the holders take as joint tenants, iD 
so many words. If the deed simply goes 
to you and your mother without stating 
joint tenancy, then each of you own one- 
half, and at the death of either their 
share would go to the heirs of the sur¬ 
vivors. Better have a competent attor¬ 
ney examine this deed while your mother 
is living, and while it may still be rec¬ 
tified. If you are tenants in common you 
could will "your one-half to your wife. If 
you are joint tenants you would have 
nothing to will except a life use until 
your mother was dead._ N. T. 
Liability for Accident on Highway 
I have a friend who is a farmer, own¬ 
ing land on each side of the highway. At 
haying time he unloaded with a horse 
fork. The horse that was hitched on the 
hay rope was driven across the highway. 
At this time a man came along in an au¬ 
tomobile and ran into the rope, and was 
instantly killed. Would it be best to set¬ 
tle with the widow of the deceased or 
take it into the courts? w. G. 
We believe it would be good judgment 
to settle with the widow. A land owner 
adjoining the highway has a right to rea¬ 
sonable use of the highway in carrying on 
his work, but in doing so he must exer¬ 
cise reasonable care to protect the public. 
It would seem that reasonable care would 
require that one stretching a rope across 
the highway should give some notice to 
persons traveling on the highway of the 
presence of the rope; that is, a substan¬ 
tial warning sign should he erected, or 
some other warning be given. 
The Court of Appeals of the State of 
New York recently said: “Landowners 
are bound to regulate their conduct in 
contemplation of the presence of travelers 
on the adjacent public ways.” A rope 
stretched across a highway is scarcely 
noticeable, and would seem to be as in¬ 
herently dangerous as a ditch across the 
highway. n. t. 
Property Rights In New Hampshire 
On page 1450 I noticed statements re¬ 
garding property rights of surviving 
wives and husbands in cases where there 
is no issue. I presume you have in mind 
the laws of the State of New York, al¬ 
though provisions may he similar in other 
States. I am very well acquainted with 
the New Hampshire laws on this subject, 
and I think conditions are the same in 
Massachusetts. If a man dies in this 
State, leaving a widow but no issue, she 
will inherit absolutely all the real estate 
up to a value of $5,000, and one-half of 
the residue. In the same way, she will 
have all the personal property up to 
$5,000 aud one-half the residue. If a 
married woman dies without issue, her 
husband will have precisely the same 
rights in her property that she would 
have in his. We have come to the stage 
in succession laws that a woman has all 
the rights a man would have. This is in 
accord with the prevailing spirit of the 
times, and of course if a woman has 
equal rights with a man regarding the 
holding and inheritance of property, she 
is equally bound to provide for her sur¬ 
viving spouse. 
It must be understood that the sur¬ 
viving husband or wife cannot be de¬ 
prived of the rights I have enumerated 
through the provisions of any will that 
may have been made. It naturally fol¬ 
lows that the right of childless married 
people to dispose of their property by will 
is very much limited by the statutes.
