PECULIAR NISER
 LEFT S27,OOO,OOO
Used to Play Cards for Nickel a
 Hundred Points

Chicago, Feb. Edwin B. Jenn- ings' fortune was estimated at s27,- 500, 900.
 Edwin B. Jennings played pinochle in a barn for a nickel a hundred points.
 He protested he couldn't afford to raise it to ten cents.
 He used 10 carry the bucket for the party's beer to earn a dime tip.
 And he never married for fear his wife would take half the estate.
 But the aged miser's lifelong pen ny wise policy is laughed at by fate Less than four months after his death d mammoth legal battle is started one that will squander and scatter the hoarded wealth.
 Jennings lodged the imagined per ills of aiimony by lodging formal mar riage. For 80 years. he maintained Miss Ida Miner in beautiful apart ment, introduced her as Mrs. Jenn- ings." and recognized her son. Charles as his own.
 Charles F. Miner this son, has left his laboring job in Louisville, Ky, to claim sole heirshin. Eight cousins Of the eccentric millionaire are in court to contest him. And with s27,500, ,00O to spur them on. the fight promises to be long and expensive. with the is sues set by the parsimonious Jenu- ings himself in his craze for saving.
 Tales innumerab blc are told of the economies and distrusts of Jennings. He bought all his clothing and shoes of secondhand dealers. Occasionally he would lend money, bla his out side limit was for 5000 and then only for short terms, high interest and and their son to the theater once in their lives, Then it was vaudeville, and they sat in the gallery.
 And at the pinochle games with his few trusted cronios they used to send out in the old days for bucket Of beer. The millionaire Jennings acted ns bucket carrier on those occasions and earned a tip of ten cents.
 Another story. like the others sup piled by attorney Roe. concerns the death of Jennings brother, who was with him joint beneficiary of their fathers estate. The brothers death made Erwin Jennings the sole heir.
 "T feel pretty good" Jennings told his friend. Frank Reed. "To cele- ,ratc, I'm going 10 buy a bottle of wine and good dinner"
 "rhe wine" says Reed, cost 35 'onts and the dinner, a quarter"
 Somebody can do some expensive celebrating when the pending suits are all settled.

CORPORATION HEAD
HAS FARMERS VIEW
Owen D. Young, Raised as Farm
er's Boy. Realizes Need of
EleCtriCity'S Help.

Putting himself in the farmers
place. when it comes to the question
of electricity in agriculture, is an easy
matter for Owen d. Young, chairman
of the board of directors of the Gen
eral Electric Company. Mr.. Young
was raised on a farm in northern New
York and for a considerable period
in his younger days he took part in
the extremely hard work that has to
be done on any farm during the busy
season.
And now Mr.. Young finds himself
one of the men at the head of a
great corporation @hich manufactures
every sort of electrical apparatus and
equipment. And this is the day when
the electrifcation of farms has be-
come one of the economic questions
Of the hour.
Mr. Young is heart and soul for
farm electrification. He looks for
ward with enthusiasm to the time
when electricity can give the 32,000,-
900 American farm folks the full op-
portunity Of sharing with town dwell.
ers the benefits of central station elec.
trio service.
He wants to complete the emancipa-
tion of the farmers, begun by the auto
mobile, by substituting Mazda lamps
for the antiquated kerosene lamps; by
giving the farmers wife electric wash
ing machines and vacuum cleaners; !;
by installing electric pumps that will
supply running water in the farm
house and the barn; and by economic.
ally-operated motors that will do
many of the big and little chores
which now drive farm boys to the
city because of the monotonous druid
gerry.
Mr.. Young has just brought about
such a transformation on his own
farm, up in Herkimer County, New
York, near the peak of the watershed
that divides the Mohawk Valley from
the headwaters of the Susquehanna.
He persuaded the Adirondack Power
and Light Corporation to extend its
lines to his birthplace and home town.
so that the home folks and the neigh
bors could benefit by this enthralling
modern giant-electricity. In tho
Young homestead, the kerosene lamps
that took the place Of tallow candles
early in the last Gentry. themselves
gave way this last winter to Mazda
lamps,
