A man deserts his wife aft er they have^beep married for almost 10 years, and goes to live with another woman and has a child by her. Is it possible for his wife to make him pay for a divorce? A. Yes, -the wife may petition (, {he court for reasonable counsel fees and expenses after her di vorce action is commenced. It is then within the discretion of the hearing judge to allow the re quested counsel fees and ex penses.'The amount that will be allowed, however, differs with the circumstances and would be determined by what the husband earns and owns and also the position of the wife. ■» * * Q. We bought a home and there is a space between our home and the neighbor’s with a three-fdbt wall. He now claims that he has eight inches of ground beyond the wall> which woutld cut off eight inches of our walk that leads around the house". We always thought the walk was our property. Can he move his wall over eight inches, which J. C. Suavely & Sons, Ine. Landisville, Pa. Millport' Roller Mills J. C. Walker & Son Lititz, RD.4, Pa. £ap, Pa * Ross C Ulrich Peach Bottom, R. D. Pa. V\XXXXXXXXXV\XX\XV\''VOVXXXXXXXVXXXXXXXXXXXX\ would make our walk very nar row and difficult to use? Or can he be made to leave the wall where it now is’ The house we bought is old one and the wall must have been there for years. He moved into his home about five years ago A He cannot move his wall over eight inches unless it can be determined that the wall was erected with his ipermission or that of the former owner of his property. If the wall was there for an uninterrupted period of 21 years and it remained there with the knowledge oi your neighbor or the former owner of his property, that it was eight inches* on his property, without anyone objecting to its being there, he cannot interfere with it now The fact that your walk would be made narrow and dif ficult to use is not important The other factors discussed in this answer are important E. A. W, Q When a hedge is used as a property line between two prop erties, is one of the parties in volved -allowed to cut it when the other party does not wish it cut and has asked them not to cut it’ A Since the normal use of the hedge is decorative and the hedge is customarily cut and trimmed, it would seem that if the hedge was on the property line, either party would have the right to cqt and trim it and that neither property owner would have the right to forbid the oth er from doing so In fact, a hedge, if left to grow wild and untnmmed for several years, can detract from the looks and value of a property and can shut out light and air to which a property owner is normally entitled.

Service Plugs In Farm Engines Before Spring Farm engines will perform bet tor when the busy season arrives next spring if the spark plugs are given some attention befoie that time C L Hill, extension agricul tural engineer at Purdue Univei sity, says spark plug maintenance is an easy chore. He suggests this routine Remove plugs with a plug wrench or socket of the proper sue Unscrew the plug only a turn or so and blow out any chit ac cumulation before complete re moval Inspection of the plug may tell many things about the eftgmes condition Powdery brown or gieyish deposits indicate normal heat range and engine condition Poor engine condition is* evident if the plugs stay wet and oily. A burned or blistered appearance of the plug should lead to an in vestigation of the engine cooling system. If the plug is normal it should then be cleaned, the outside elect rode filed flat, regapped and cheeked Gap setting should be checked with a round vare gauge. Use a new plug gasket when re installing the plug Be sure the gasket seat is dean or compres sion leakage will occur Gaskets fail when a plug is tightened too much Turn the plug “finger tight” and only tigh ten it three-fourths to one full turn with the wrench. Over 50 per cent of vetei inary calls on dairy farms in one state with large numbers of dairy cat tle last year were for noninfec tious diseases such as ketosis, breeding problems, retained fe tal membranes, weak calves, traumatic gastritis and bloat.
