Vermont Woman Served in War

Mrs. Mary B. Emery of Stowe, who
died in Eden recently, had a somewhat
unusual experience for a Vermont
woman, having served in the Civil War
with the soldiers at the front. She was
abe ut seventy-seven years old, and was
not only sold er's widow but saw serv-
ice herself in the Civil War. Her hus-
band, George Emery, enlisted IN 1862 in
Company F, 18th. Vermont, and was
stationed for two years near Washington.
Thinking that he should be there for
some time he sent for his wife. who with
her six young children joined him in the
spring of 1864 In less than two weeks
after their arrival, Mr.. Emery's regiment
was ordered to the front and he was
taken prisoner at the skirmish of Weldon
railroad and was confined in Libby
prison and later was sent to Danville and
afterward to Andersonville where he
died of starvation in the fall of 1864.
After Mr.. Emery's capture, Mrs. Emery
who was left without means of support
joined the army as launderess. With
the help of her children she did the
work of two laund-Iesses and received
two soldiers rations She remain ed
with the army until January 1865, VIII en-
through the kindness of friends she was
enabled to return to Eden, where she
brought up her family in much hard.
ship. as owing to some mistake in re-
porting her husbands death to the de-
partment at Washington it was not until
10 years later that she was able to secure
the pension to which she was entitled.

PennsyIvarians Indicted in Yer

mont.
1t is said that Henry A. Gordon, a
member of the Pennsylvania legislature,
and j. Fred Frace of Philadelphia, who
were formerly associated with lumber
business in Pawlet were indicted at the
September, 1909, term of Rutland county
court on the charge of embezzlement.
AS the papers have not been served the
officials at Rutland will say nothing
about the affair but it is understood that
the trouble grew out of a transaction of
the lumber concern.
Deputy Sheriff <. S. Whitaker, of
Rutland has returned from Philadelphia
where he went, armed with extradition
papers, expecting to bring Gordon and
Frace to Rutland. He found that Cor.
don, having learned of the indictment,
was already on his way to Vermont, and
Fra was away attending the funeral of
a relative, so that the officer returned
home empty handed. 1t became known
later that Gordon was in Rutland the
other day consulting Attorney Thomas
W. Moloney. He left on the midnight
train for Philadelphia to find bail and is
expected back soon with Frace.

POPCORN FOR THE WORLD.
Fifteen Million Pounds Shipped
Yearly from Odebolt, Iowa.

The popcorn center Of the world"
is the title claimed by the little town OF
Odeb)lt, la. There are 900 Odebolti-
ans and every one OF them is convinced
Of the wisdom OF keeping track of the
worlds popcorn appetite.
That 100000 pounds of popcorn
is raised within fifteen miles of the town
is the result OF small beginning made
years ago by A. II. w. Reuben when he
rented twenty-five acres OF land and set
set it out in popcorn. He repeated this
two or three times before he was con-
WINGED OF the possibilities before him.
Then he got more land, and still more;
and all of it he put into popcorn His
neighbors followed suit, and when that
happened he bought their crops until,
according to the Saturday Evening Post,
he became the poncorn king. He raises
40 acres Of his pet product and buys
most of what his neighbors raise.
In Odebolt there are enough popcorn
cribs to take care of 100000 pounds
OF the grain. One OF these cribs alone
holds about 100000 pounds. In 1909
there were more than $50 carloads Of
of popcorn shipped from the town. This
enormous yearly crop of popcorn can
scarcely be estimated under certain con-
ditions, but one villager remarked:
Each kernel of the grain is supposed
to swell to twenty times its original size
when popped, so / guess that If a first
class lightning storm should come
along and start odebolt's crop to pop
ping in the cribs the W country
would be covered with six feet of pop
corn snow by morning,
One man with forty acres planted to
popcorn received SO, $50 for his crop last
year. Out OF this sum he had to de-

duct about SIS an acre for the picking
and the harvesting. This, together with
his other expenses, including incidentals
and the rent of the place, totaled $13. 80
an acre. His net profit on the entire
crop was about SO, $40, which meant a
net profit of exactly $S1 for each of the
forty acres planted to popcorn.
This, however, is much above the av-
erage return for an acre of popcorn.
Under ordinary circumstances and in a
fair season for both crop and price the
return per acre from popcorn, if the
crop has been well cared for, should be
about $50. Different localities, differ
ent soils and different climatic condi-
tons produce different results.
At the present time the pickers in the
field are paid about Is cents hundred
pounds, and under these conditions a
skillful picker can make about SO or
$3.50 a day. This work includes board
besides the wages. Popcorn must be
picked with great care and no husks or
silk left on the ears
One of the strictest rules in the Gull
ture Of popcorn is the handling Of the
grain after it has been harvested No
time is allowed to elapse after the grain
has been picked until it is safe in the
rooted cribs either in the town or out
on the farms. These cribs are specially
for on the thoroughly dry
ing of the grain rests its grading and its
power.
The cribs are made of strips Of wood
much narrower than those in the sides
Of an ordinary field corn crib, in order
that the air apertures may occur with
greater frequency A complete air cir
,ulation is established in many cribs by I
aging line of loose drain pipes through I

ventilation is the chief requirement.
In some cases the farmer holds his
grain in his own cribs on the farm in
stead of selling at the time of harvest.
This is done in hope that the price will
be stronger in the winter. Nearly every
crib in Odebolt, both in and around the
town, is fitted with drying Aues at inter
walls Of about six feet, and various other
means are taken to insure complete
drying of the crop.
There are three buyers in 0debolt,
and every bit OF the popcorn business
is done on strictly cash basis with
either Chicago or New York houses.
The general market price for the cured
article is II cents pound, but this
price varies at times. The seed pop
corn is worth about cents pound,
and an acre usually takes from five to
six pounds at each seeding.
Despite the alluring prospects offered
now by the popcorn users there is q still
greater demand being created by the
European trade. Only a short time ago
popcorn was introduced for the first
time in London, and now the English
demand is growing steadily and with
considerable rapidity.
The package industry and the candy
connections are calling heavily upon the
supply, which must be increased before
long in order to meet the demand New
connections involving the use of popcorn
are constantly appearing and are draw
ing upon the already limited supply of
this country. Popcorn stands are spring

in the cities, and every year sees their

Fish Thirty Years a Captive.

A big sturgeon that has been pris.
oner thirty years has just been released
from his long captivity and set free in
the Columbia River. The fish was ta-
ken from the Columbia River, near Cas-
cade Locks, in the spring of 1880. II
was caught in a fish wheel, and was
given to the late DIR. w. H. Adams, OF
Hood River.
The sturgeon was placed in a small
pond on the Adams ranch. There were
then two ponds on the place, and the
fish was changed from one to the other
from time to time. Some years ago
the ponds filled with grass and weeds,
and the water became SO shallow that
the back of the sturgeon was blistered
by the sun.
The fish was then moved to the pool
Of fountain on the farm, where it
swan about in circle. 1t kept grow
ing bigger, until it was about six feet
long, and the fountain was too small a
place for it to be kept.
Mrs. Sue NJ. Adams Armstrong,
owner of the farm, returned from Port
land and ordered the release of the pet
fish and the sturgeon was carted to the
Columbia River and set free.
Interested spectators predicted the
fish would swim in a small circle in the
river from the habit of thirty years, but
this was not true. Dazed for a moment
by the unaccustomed extent OF water,
the sturgeon hesitated, and then swan
away to the deep channel of the river.
