This is the "BIG-MONEY” Year 
For WITTE log Saw Owners 
T HIS is undoubtedly the year for 
owners of my outfits to make big¬ 
ger money than ever before. With prosperity 
in sight, prices on farm products going up— 
your profits should run into the thousands 
clearing up timbered land, sawing wood for 
fuel, doing power jobs,, etc. Get into the 
money-making class right now—if you’ll 
write me I’ll show you how. Sd.H. Witte 
One Man Can Do 
the Work 
is a One-Man outfit 
simple and easy to 
operate. Dependable 
and Trouble-Proof— 
one man can do more 
than 10 at 1 f 20 the 
cost. 
Has WICO 
Magneto 
Most Perfect 
Ignition Known. 
Fat, hot spark 
in any weather 
or climate. Starts

''THAT’S the way the WITTE Log Saw works— 
-*■ a long, clean, “Arm-swing” stroke—steady-run¬ 
ning and dependable. By far the fastest saw built, 
Can’t bind or clog. Users report more than 40 cords 
sawed in an average day. Work "rain or shine” with the 
WITTE Log and Tree Saw 
Has made thousands of dollars for users all over the country. Martin Schultz, 
Wisconsin, made over $600.00 profit. He says: “We are through sawing now 
but the engine works every day pumping water. Sure saves time 
and labor.*' J. J. Donahue, South Dakota says: “I cut 3-foot logs 
in 4 minutes. Big money maker for me.*’ The WITTE is the 
standard in power saws. Rig mounted on reversible wheels— 
moves easily in any direction. Weighs only 38 pounds 
at the handles. Fastest because blade 
cannot whip or “ride”. Makes any 
cut you want—speeded up or slowed 
down by merely turning a screw. 
SA WS THEM DOWN 
IN A HURRY— 
Earl McBumey felled 
fifty 18 -inch trees in 
less than five hours. 
Friction Clutch 
Lever Control 
Start or stop saw blade while en¬ 
gine is running. Perfect control at all times with 
a guaranteed absence of engine or blade troubles. 
Change To Tree Saw In 3 Minutes 
Only three minutes to change from Log Saw to Tree Saw—ten seconds to clamp 
to tree. Fastest ever known. Earl McBurney, Iowa, says: “I felled 60 18-inch 
trees in less than five hours. Best and cheapest I ever saw.” Saws trees from 
any position—clear down level to the ground.

Notes on School Law 
POWER OF CONSOLIDATION 
Under Section 129 of the Education 
Law it is within the power of the district 
superintendent to make an order consoli¬ 
dating the school district without consult¬ 
ing the taxpayers of the district. This 
order is subject to review, howeve*, on 
appeal. 
ELIGIBILITY FOR TRUSTEE’S OFFICE 
In order to be eligible to hold the office 
of trustee a person must be a qualified 
voter of the district. The educational de¬ 
partment has ruled that the election of a 
trustee will be confirmed where it is 
shown that he resided in the district at 
the time of his election, that he is other¬ 
wise qualified to hold office, and that no 
challenges were interposed by any person 
who voted at the meeting. 
QUALIFICATIONS FOR VOTE 
Our school superintendent has issued 
an order condemning our school district, 
to take effect immediately, and has stipu¬ 
lated a sum of $5,000 for the erection of 
a new building. The trustee of the dis¬ 
trict called a special meeting for voting 
on the matter. Am I entitled to vote at 
-said meeting? I am a citizen of the Unit¬ 
ed States and 21 years of age, but main¬ 
tain a voting residence in the incorporat¬ 
ed village. However, I have a farm that 
I own and which is located in the dis¬ 
trict condemned, and I live on the farm 
all Summer until it winters in, and my 
children attend the public school in town, 
going to and from the school to the farm 
until such time as the family returns to 
town in the Fall. Under ordinary cir¬ 
cumstances I would not have a vote at 
any regular district meeting, and I should 
like to know if the law will or will not 
allow myself and wife to vote at this 
meeting. G. M. 
In order to vote in the district in ques¬ 
tion you would have to be an actual resi¬ 
dent within the district for a period of 
30 days next preceding the meeting at 
which you offer to vote. 
TAX QUESTIONS 
1. What procedure is necessary in or¬ 
der to receive a yearly notification of both 
school and town taxes, mailed to the ad¬ 
dress of a non-resident, when due? 2. 
What length of time elapses before the 
State may sell real property for unpaid 
taxes? 3. What use of a farm auto¬ 
mobile changes it from a pleasure car 
tax to a commercial tax? 4. Can any 
farmer obtain the right of authority to 
arrest trespassers and secure a badge 
which will show same to the “scoffers”? 
New York. c. A. 
1. The owner of taxable property situ¬ 
ate in the town in which he is not a resi¬ 
dent, may file with the town clerk of such 
town a notice stating his name and resi¬ 
dence, and the description of the proper¬ 
ty and the name of the village and the 
number of the school district. The town 
clerk is entitled to a fee of $1 for his 
services, and it is his duty to notify the 
collector of taxes of the addresses thus 
filed. 
2. The county treasurer must sell if 
the taxes remain unpaid for six months. 
3. The removal of the body of the car 
or a portion thereof, and the substitution 
of a platform for the carrying of mer¬ 
chandise. 
4. No, a farmer cannot secure a badge 
unless he is appointed or elected an of¬ 
ficer. 
Collecting School Money 
From Treasurer 
In our school district I and another 
party are on the bond of the collector and 
treasurer. At the annual school meeting, 
May 6, 1924, his report was accepted. 
Does that release us, or are we held until 
he is bonded for the coming year, he be¬ 
ing elected to succeed himself? In event 
of the collector having used school taxes 
collected, for his own use, say to the 
amount of about $100, how do we go 
about squaring it? Doee the State at¬ 
tend to him at our request, or can we 
seize property, say his cows, to recom¬ 
pense ourselves? To whom do we report 
the matter? He is in debt so deeply 
everything he has except cows is mort¬ 
gaged. Does shortage in our case come 
ahead of the debts? Can we forbid the 
collection of taxes still due, advising those 
owing not to pay until they hear from 
us? W. 
We would say that your collector’s 
bond would be good until he had account¬ 
ed for the money collected. Your bond 
p.obably only holds the sureties for his 
term of office, and until he properly ac¬ 
counts for the funds in his hands for that 
term. If he was re-elected, a new bond 
would be necessary, unless the first bond 
was drawn full enough to cover succeed¬ 
ing terms. If he fails to account for the 
funds the sureties could have him arrest¬ 
ed. and they could sue him and levy on 
such property as was available. n. t.

papa?” Father: “Which one, dear?” 
Tommy: “The one with its face scratched 
and the hair off its head.” Father (with 
a sigh) : “That must be the lion.”—Dub¬

A Wise Old Trapper 
In the state of Ohio there lived a bunch of 
boys who had this trapping business down to 
a science. They each sent for separate price 
lists every year and then sent all their furs 
to the house giving the best quotations. After 
five years they decided they weren’t so dread¬ 
fully wise because they didn’t have enough 
profits to make their efforts worth while. 
One day they met Tom McMillan driving a new car 
to town, Tom said he made the price of his swell 
outfit shipping pelts. He told how he got wise to 
those funny prices and found it was better to deal 
with Chas. Porter because he always knew in advance 
just what he was sure of getting. He said that Porter 
never offered ?5 for a $3 pelt but he always paid the *3 
which he promised and sometimes a little better. Chas. 
Porter now has five wise trappers in that section 
instead of one.
