state game warden a bill for feeding
"a pheasants during the winter. He fed

With farm labor scarce and high
prices and farm renters not so plenti-
full as in former years, there are indi-
cations that the acreage in crops in this
state may be cut down considerably
this season. Wages offered for farm
help run from $50 to SIS and $50 per
month and in some instances 800 per
month is commanded by exceptionally
good farm workers. Farms are renting
at $12, SIS and $50 per acre with many
of them bringing around SIS. In some
cases the farms are rented on shares,
but the more common practice is to
rent for cash. Reports in various sec.
tons say that many farms are without
tenants.

More than Is years ago Andrew J.
Seaman was born at Keokuk. In his
early manhood he located at Council
Bluffs where he laid the foundation for
his fortune Here he was to have been
married but he fell out with his fiancee
and Immediately took up his residence
in Omaha. He lived there for IS years
on Is cents u day. He was noted as
the stingiest man in America, Upon
his death bed he told the nurse not to
go to the expense of buying coffin as
a plain pine box was plenty good
enough. He left an estate variously es-
timated at from 100000 to 81 1000, 900.
The bridge fare across the Missouri
river is 10 cents and this kept him
from ever returning to his old haunts
at Council Bluffs. He would walk any
distance rather than spend cent.
Some years ago he, wanted to 20 to
Denver. The railroad fare was $3.50.
But the distance was only 600 miles.
So Seaman wilked the 600 miles rather
than pay out the $3.50. And having
completed his business in Denver, the
old man turned around and walked back
home. another 600 miles. He had walk.
ed 1900 miles but saved 3ss by it.
