movement is today. 1t is a part Of
The essential machinery Of the democ'

The first Chautauqua was akin to
the FIRST woman's club. 1t was an or
~o.nixation for easy culture. It was
amended TO be an American contradic-
lion to Aristotle's ~overquoted remark

DUCK HUNTERS RUN
INTO SEA OF MUD

Ray @. Larson, c. M. Eckmann and
L. o. Nyberg returned this week from
a duck hunting trip around the fats
at the mouth of the Susitna river.
While endeavoring to get into one of
the sloughs they became lost and were
unable to locate the places patronized
by the elusive duck.
The tide went out leaving the boat
high and dry. Mr.. Larson and Mr..
Nyberg waded through the soft mud
to firmer footing and were soon out of
sight of the boat.
Mr.. EckmaDn shortly after their
departure, decided to 60 in another
direction In search of the proper
slought Before he had gone fifty feet
from the boat he began sinking into
the mud and the more energy he dis
played in trying to extricate himself
the more firmly he became emeshed
in the soft oozing substance of the
flats. In a short spa ,e of time he was
up to his waist in the mud and get
ting deeper every minute. The other
world stared him in the face and he
forgot all about the furniture bust
ness and the shooting of ducks.
Just then, Mr.. Larsen and Mr.. Ny
berg put in appearance and seeing his
plight commenced active measures for
his rescue.
Now Mr.. Eckmann trembles when
ducks are mentioned.
