Landlord and Tenant.

f.. {. A.-Will you please answer
the following questions through The
Bee: If Az sells his farm to b, pos
session to be given March l, 1920,
can A cut wood for his own use
during the winter? A creek runs
through this farm and trees grow
along the banks. Quite a number
OF the trees have died. That is the
kind of wood that he cut If A quits
cutting when b gives him notice to
quit, can b sue A for damages -?
Please print this as soon as you can
with thanks.
Answer-A is not entitled to tim
Der unless reserved in the deed. but
as the timber used was dead trees,
BIS damages would be nominal.
Will.
J. B.-Please answer in your legal
aid department if a man writes his
own will, would it be legal in Ne
braska or does he have to get an
attorney to write it for him? The
writer has a bank deposit, also some
stock, but no real estate
Answer-You can legally draw
your own will, but would advise you
employing an attorney to do so.
Misrepresentation.
w. R.-A's husband made a con-
tract with B to purchase certain
lands, and b had the lands trans
ferred to A in consideration of csr-
tain money that A had previously
loaned him. b, in order to induce A
to buy the land, misrepresented the
land to A. A conveyed the land to
his wife. Can the wife sue B and
recover damages for deceit?
AnsWer-This depends on the
question whether in buying the lands
the husband was acting for his wife
or whether he was acting for him
self From your meager statement
of facts | would say he was acting
for himself. He took the land in
exchange for his own property. He
and not his wife owned the right
secured by the contract to have the
lands conveyed. The conveyance to
his wife did not carry with it a cause
Of action, for this cause of action
is in no manner accessory to the
title to the lands, but is entirely in
dependent of it. l.

EATONIC Users
DO This Get the
Greatest Benefits

Chicago, Il.-ThOusandS of reports
from people all over the U. S. who
have tested %eatonic, show the greatest
benefits are obtained by using it for a
few weeks, taking one or twO tablets
after each meal.
Eatonic users know that it stops
Belching, BlCating, Heartburn, and
Stomach Miseries quickly, but the
really lasting benefits are obtained by
using eatonic long enough to take the
harmful excess acids and gases entire
ly out Of the system. This requires a
little time, for eatOnic takes up the
excess acidity and pOisons and carries
them out of the body and of course,
when it is all removed, the sufferer gets
we'll, feels fne-full Of life and pep.
If you have been taking an eatonic
now and then, be sure and take it regu-
larly for a time and obtain all of these
wonderful benefits. Please speak to
your druggist about this, so that he can
tell others that need this help. Adv.

A line from a popular song-"Therc's
a Long, Long Trail A-winding'-ap-
plies 20 at least one of the many and
devious paths which old man III. G. l..
treadS i'm his effort to make living
complex and expensive for the average
person.
The particular byWay referred to is
that which wholesale shipments Of
food follow in their costly travel from
the railway car to the retailer. 4 car
load of fruit or vegetables can be sped
half way aCrOSS the continent in a
day or two, but on arriving in the city
where the food is to be retailed, the
shipment starts on a winding trail
which too often adds little but un-
necessary costs and delay.
Eliminating Expensive carting.
This expensive shunting and hauling
of foOdstuffS from point to point in the
cities and the spOilage which the un-
necessary handling causes are the big
items centralized wholesale terminals
eliminate. The bureau Of markets.
United states department Of agricul-
ture, has been on this trail, literally,
following shipments step by step to
determine how much expense is add
ed to the cost Of food by unnecessary
handling between the shipper and the
retailer. The route followed by a car
load of peaches entering n middle
Western city over a railroad not pro-
vided with team tracks well illustrates
this phase of the distribution problem.
This ear had to be switched from
the railroad on which it entered the
city, through the crowded switch
yard, TO another track which is ac-
cesSible to teams. Here il stood until
the receiving Wholesalers transfers
could finish another job. After this
delay two wagons were drawn up be-
side the car, in turn, and were loaded
with the peaches. ThereupOn they
started for the wholesale house which
was two miles away.
The transfers route lay through the
most congeSted part of the city, the
wholesale district being close to the
busy retail section. The wagons were
a full hour and a quarter making the
trip. Meanwhile, the sun beat down
on the peaches and thdlcity's dust and
dirt filtered in through the crates so
that the fruit was far from being as
fresh and attractive as when taken
from he car. Moreover. the journey
so jOStled and bruised the fruit that
some Of it had to be sold at a dis
count.
Though the wholesalers were partic-
ularly anxious 10 get the peaches de-
livered to their sales room on the day

market, only about one-third of the
shipment came in 10y closing time, and
IL WAS noon the e. day before the
remainder was delivered.
Tho long winding trail did not end
at the Wholesalers. Once unloaded,
the peaches were put IN display for
the benefit Of various iobberS, some of
whom purchased a few dozen crates
and some larger amounts. Some of
these men were situated within two or
three squares of the wholesaler and
their purchases were delivered on
hand trucks. In the case of other job
hers another wagon transfer was nee
essary.
Next in this process which econo-
mistS call distribution, came the retail
crs To look over the lots, in the end
buying small quantities such as they
could sell in n day or two. This, OF
course, necessitated another handling
and carting over the city'S rough pave
mentS.
Last, but not least, came the con
sumerS, each buying only n small frac-
