1910 Chautauqua Past
The Sixth Annual Session of
the Mo. Valley chautauqua is
over but not forgotten, nor will
it be TO gotten for many years
to come. Whether it was a
financial success or not, makes
no difference considering the
good and uplifting powers it
has left in this community.
Several men.s some farmers, some
merchants and some individual
citizens made known to Fl. C.
Heckert, Secretary. that if any
money was needed, to call on
them, which goes to show that
annual chautauquas in Mo. VAL
ley are established. Enough
thanks cannot be given to the
1910 chautauqua management
for the untirlng efforts they
have put forth to make this
chautauqua program better
than ever before.
President w. M. Carlisle has
put in his entire time, neglect
ed his business and did every
thing in his power to fulfill the
position for which he was
elected.
Secretary, H. c. Heckert,
also filled the position of which
few men are capable. Fight
ing Lyceum Bureaus walking
the floor at night, writing page
ads for the newspapers, writ
ing up each speaker for the
program, answering cores
pondence, attending to the sale
of season tickets etc, are a few
of the numerous stunts the Sec.
has to do. 1t is especially in
teresting, when he receives a
telegram that one of the feat
ured speakers will be unable to
appear on the platform the
next afternoon, as was twice
the case during this chautau-
qua. Treas, Fred Fensler had
a few duties also to perform,
such as paying the talent, at
tend to the sale of bus tickets,
keep an accurate account of all
money and incldentlv to he at
. the grounds every afternoon at
l o'clock and at $50 in the
evening to sell tickets. Ed
Myers, Supt. of the grounds,
deserves much credit for the
systematical way in which he
placed the tents and for the
time he gave supplying all the
campers and chautauqua pa.
irons wants. AT all times the
barrels of drinking water were
kept iced and filled and at all
tim s he was there to carry
out his part. Platform mana
ger, Prof. Lee Daggy was as
necessary to make the chautau.

forms he was able 10 give the
audiences an honest opinion of
What they might expect.
Whenever be said an attraction
would be good, it was 200 d.
He not only filled this posjtion
out was able to give the audi.
4nce a good entertainment
which he was twice called upon
to perform during the chautau-
qua.
One fact about Mr.. Daggv,
which pleased. was when he
got up to Introduce a speaker

ly and didn't talk at random
for a half an hcllr about some
: thing that diln's interest the
people. The Vice Presidents,
