Legal Questions 
Injury to Roadside Trees 
The farm on which I live and own has 
sugar maples all along the roads for 
shade, which the owner set there himself. 
Have the neighbors a right to go along 
and cut their initials, also cut off limbs, 
or else cut a deep gasli in trunk with ax? 
Another neighbor puts up a target on 
those near his house and then fills the 
tree with lead. People also tap them just 
as they, please. Cannot such work as 
that be stopped? If I say anything about 
it, it makes them all the worse, and they 
laugh and say the State owns them, when 
the owner told me himself he set them, 
and the State had nothing to do with it.

__YORK. N.Y 
My wife’s uncle made a will before 
.Tune 23, 1021, and died on that date. lie 
had some Standard Oil stock, owned some 
tenement houses, and had money in the 
bank and life insurance. The adminis¬ 
trator appointed by the court will not tell 
the amount of the oil stock or what 
amount buildings were sold for, or any 
information of. any kind asked of her. 
Her lawyer claims they have still time to 
settle this will. It seems to me that it is 
taking a long time to settle, since June 
23, 1921. What is the length of time to 
settle a Avill in New York State? They 
always say they have not sold oil stock, 
but don’t mention any of money in the 
bank, life insurance or the • amount of 
cash received for buildings. b. s. 
Maryland. 
An executor or administrator has 18 
months after their appointment in which 
to make settlement of the estate, in the 
State of New York, At the expiration 
of that period any person interested may 
make application to the court for an 
order directing the executor or adminis¬ 
trator to account. n. t. 
Wife’s Claim on Husband’s Livestock 
Can a wife hold a claim on live stock 
which belongs to her husband? I have 
furnished money to buy part of these 
cows and I have taken a claim on horses 
and cows on a debt owed me by my hus¬ 
band. I have been informed that my 
claim is not good; that is, I could not 
hold them. Is this right? If my claim 
is good, just what paper should I hold to 
keep it good, and how long could it run 
without interest and still be good? 
Ohio. . MRS. M. G. 
The wife may hold security on proper¬ 
ty owned by her husband for actual in¬ 
debtedness. Your security probably 
would be in the form of a chattel mort¬ 
gage. and this you should file in the town 
clerks’ office and keep a renewal filed each 
year. n. t. 
Gravel Pit Affecting Well 
The owner of the next farm to me has 
just started a gravel pit, and intends to 
sell gravel up to my line. Six feet from 
my line is my well, the only water sup¬ 
ply I have, or chance of obtaining water. 
I am afraid it will drain my well. What 
are my rights, or can I stop him from 
digging and taking gravel out so near my 
well? F. s. M. 
Massachusetts. 
Where one constructs works on his 
premises in the lawful exercise of his 
rights, and with no malicious intention, 
there is no actionable injury, although 
the natural effect is to draw off the water 
from a neighbor’s well or spring. A land- 
owner has entire domain over the whole 
of his estate, and has the right to exca¬ 
vate on his own land and close to the 
ine of an adjoining owner, but in doing 
so he must prevent his neighbor’s soil 
1 rom falling off, and if by depriving the 
adjoining land of its natural support he 
causes it to crumble or fall away, he 
would be liable for damages sustained, 
unless he supports the land or the ad¬ 
joining landowner consents to the re¬ 
moval. tjt fp 
Trespass on Vacant Lot 
I have a vacant lot in city where it 
ias been crossed (I do not 'know how 
long) by the public. My father died re¬ 
cently, he having had this lot for about 
o0 years. If I remember he put up a 
notice 12 or 15 years ago to prohibit tres¬ 
passing. This was torn down. After¬ 
wards he put up an iron railing, and this 
was torn down. It seems to be a short 
cut for workmen going to work. Can I 
stop them, and hold the land, and if I 
cannot, and sell same, would the new 
owner be able to stop them trespassing?

To acquire an easement by prescription 
the use must be continuous and uninter¬ 
rupted, for substantial interruption dur¬ 
ing the period of the adverse use is fatal 
to the claim. We doubt if the public has 
acquired any easement in your property, 
and think that you can close the same if 
you desire to. ^ T 
What makes 
a boot wear? 
Mere are two simple facts it will pay you to knoiv 
It isn’t always the largest man who can lift 
the heaviest load. 
Big bones are not enough. It takes muscle! 
That’s the way it is with your boots. 
Thick, tough rubber, backed with the right 
fabric, can make them rugged, but unless 
that rubber stretches easily your boots won’t 
Stand up under the strain of constant bending. 
“U.S.” Boots are both s trong and flexible . 
We’ve built from seven to eleven layers of 
fabric and rubber into 
them at the four places 
where we know the 
heaviest shocks come. 
Ankle, back of the 
heel, instep, and sole 
—there’s not one vital 
spot in the whole boot 
that isn’t completely 
protected. 
But we’ve done more 
to insure extra wear for 
“U.S.” Boots than to put 
in these reinforcements. 
A strip of rubber cut from a 
“U. S.” Boot stretches more than 
5 times its length without break - 
ing—and snaps back into shape 
like an elastic band. This live, 
elastic rubber is one of the reasons 
for the unusual flexibility and 
long wear of “U. S.” Boots. 
Cut a strip of rubber from a “U.S.” Boot, and 
you d find it would stretch more than five times its 
length without breaking! Into every “U.S.” Boot 
is put rubber as live as an elastic band. That’s why, 
when the strains come, “U.S.” Boots can bend so 
easily. No cracking—no giving way in a pinch—• 
but plenty of reserve power at all times. These two 
simple facts about “U.S.” Boots explain why they 
wear so long. It will pay you to keep them in mind. 
THE INSTEP— A series 
of graduated reinforc¬ 
ing layers in the instep 
combines unusual 
flexibility with surpris¬ 
ing strength . 
Other “U. S.” Rubber Footwear 
You’ll find every type of rubber foot¬ 
wear in the big “U.S.” line. There’s 
the “U.S.” Walrus, the famous all¬ 
rubber overshoe—the “U.S.” lace 
Bootee, a rubber overshoe for spring 
and fall—“U.S.” Arctics and Rubbers 
—all styles and sizes for the whole 
family. Look for the “U.S.” trade 
mark, whenever you buy—the honor 
mark of the largest rubber organiza¬ 
tion in the world.
