Turn  Your  Wood 
Lot  into  Money- 
You  can  do  this  with  a 
Lane  Tractor  Sawmill  at  a 
very  low  cost. 
This  easily  portable  mill 
is  built  by  the  oldest  and 
best  known  sawmill  builders 
for  the  man  with  a  wood  lot 
or  the  man  who  sees  an  op¬ 
portunity  in  helping  other 
wood  lot  owners  to  turn 
their  timber  into  cash. 
Although  this  mill  has  a 
capacity  of  4,000  to  8,000 
feet  every  eight  hours,  it 
may  be  easily  moved.  The 
average  tractor  furnishes 
enough  power  to  run  it  and 
the  price  is  within  the  reach 
of  all. 
The  lumber  from  a  very 
few  trees  will  pay  for  it. 
Remember  this  mill  is  a 
Lane  product  throughout, 
sturdy,  durable,  fast  and 
simple.

Riparian  Rights 
A  has  a  farm  with  stream  running 
through  it,  furnishing  from  60  to  100 
gallons  of  water  per  minute,  depending 
on  the  season.  Probably  half  originates 
on  A's  farm.  B,  a  large  corporation,  re¬ 
cently  bought  a  tract  of  land  just  below 
and  is  developing  a  quarry  on  a  large 
scale;  will  need  from  60  to  80  gallons  of 
water  per  minute.  Can  A  dam  this 
stream  for  irrigation,  using  all,  or  what 
he  needs  of  it,  or  can  they  compel  him  to 
let  it  come  on  to  them?  They  say  they 
can.  What  A  uses  would  be  for  overhead 
irrigation.  w.  h.  w. 
North  Carolina. 
Every  riparian  owner  is  entitled  to 
have  the  stream  continue  to  flow  through 
or  along  his  lands  in  its  accustomed  chan¬ 
nel  and  natural  volume,  without  any  ob¬ 
struction  of  the  channel  or  detention  of 
the  water  by  other  owners,  injurious  to 
him.  and  he  can  be  deprived  of  this  right 
only  by  his  own  grant  or  license,  or  by 
condemnation  for  public  use  under  the 
principle  of  eminent  domain.  Any  ob¬ 
struction  or  detention  of  the  water  gives 
a  riparian  owner  who  is  injured  thereby 
a  right  of  action. 
An  upper  owner  may  detain  and  con¬ 
sume  the  water  for  domestic  use ;  so. 
also,  may  he  dam  the  stream  for  such 
time  and  in  such  volume  as  may  be  neces¬ 
sary  to  enable  him  to  run  his  mill,  but  he 
must  finally  let  the  water  go  on  to  the 
lower  owners,  unless  he  expects  to  pay 
damages.  n.  t. 
Payment  of  Wife’s  Funeral  Expenses 
Can  the  personal  property  of  a  de¬ 
ceased  woman  be  legally  used  to  defray 
the  hospital,  nurses’  and  doctors’  bills,  as 
well  as  the  funeral  expenses,  when  the 
woman  left  a  will,  naming  her  husband 
executor?  The  executor  says  she  con¬ 
trolled  her  property,  and  so  is  beholden 
for  all  expenses.  One  lawyer  says  he 
(the  husband)  should  pay  the  hospital, 
nurse  and  doctors’  bills,  but  not  funeral 
expenses.  w  H  w 
New  York. 
The  husband  is  liable  for  all  neces¬ 
saries  furnished  the  wife  during  her  life¬ 
time,  unless  legally  separated,  and  this  is 
not  dependent  upon  the  fact  that  the  wife 
had  property  of  her  own.  By  the  term 
necessaries  is  included  medical  attention, 
hospital  bills,  etc*.,  and  also  funeral  ex¬ 
penses  at  her  death.  The  wife,  however, 
may  bind  herself  for  the  payment  of 
funeral  expenses,  and  thus  make  a  charge 
of  funeral  expenses  upon  her  separate  es¬ 
tate.  If  she  left  a  will,  undoubtedly  the 
first  clause  in  her  will  read:  “I  direct  the 
payment  of  all  my  just  debts  and  funeral 
expenses.”  That  being  true,  the  husband 
is  liable  for  the  medical  services,  hospital 
bdls,  etc.,  and  her  estate  for  her  funeral 
expenses.  n.  t. 
Liability  in  Life  Interest 
1.  A  man  dies  and  leaves  his  wife,  by 
will,  the  use  of  house,  lot  and  contents  as 
long  as  she  remains  his  widow.  Does  she 
have  to  pay  taxes  and  insurance,  or  do 
the  other  heirs  pay?  Nothing  was  men¬ 
tioned  about  taxes  and  insurance  in  will. 
There  is  plenty  of  money  and  property 
going  to  other  heirs.  2.  A  man  dies  and 
leaves  a  widow  ;  before  marriage  had  an 
agreement  paper  of  life  lease  of  home. 
Taxes  and  insurance  were  not  mentioned. 
Does  widow  have  to  pay  taxes  and  insur¬ 
ance,  or  do  the  other  heirs  pay  them, 
there  being  money  and  other  property  go¬ 
ing  to  them?  3.  Flow  long  can  taxes  go 
without  being  paid  before  property  could 
be  sold  for  taxes  ?  m.  g.  l. 
1  and  2.  Taxes  must  be  paid  by  the 
widow.  The  courts  held  a  number  of 
years  ago  that  a  devise  to  one  for  life  or 
a  term  of  years  imposed  on  the  devisee 
the  duty  to  keep  down  all  incidental 
charges  upon  the  land  which  occurred 
during  the  continuance  of  such  estate, 
such  as  repairs,  taxes  and  the  like. 
3.  It  is  usually  about  nine  months  be¬ 
fore  the  property  is  actually  sold.  N.  T.

Rights  of  Auctioneer;  Law  as  to  Whole¬ 
some  Meat 
1.  FVhat  is  the  law  in  New  York  State 
regarding  auctions?  Has  the  auctioneer 
the  right  to  bid  on  articles  he  puts  up. 
and.  if  so,  how  many  bids  can  he  have  on 
each  article?  2.  Is  the  meat  of  an  ani¬ 
mal  butchered  while  carrying  young  fit 
for  use.  and  is  there  any  law  against 
butehenng  such  an  animal?  mrs.  w.  s.  m. 
1.  Until  the  fall  of  the  hammer  the 
auctioneer  is  the  agent  of  the  seller  alone, 
and  as  such  he  cannot  act  inconsistently 
with  the  interest  of  his  principal.  To 
sell  for  one  person  and  'to  buy  for  an¬ 
other  are  inconsistent  acts,  hence  an  auc¬ 
tioneer  cannot  bid  on,  be  the  purchaser 
of.  or  be  interested  in  the  purchase  of 
the  property  which  he  is  selling,  either 
for  himself  or  for  another.  It  has  been 
held  in  New  York  State  that  where  an 
attorney  has  the  charge  of  or  is  employed 
to  conduct  a  judicial  sale  of  property,'  he 
cannot  become  the  •purchaser  without 
full  explanation  and  information  given  to 
his  client  of  his  intentions. 
2.  No  person  shall  sell  or  offer  for  sale 
any  meat  which  is  unhealthy  or  unfit  for
