RAoGlNo MANY DUCKS.
Market Hunters Along Mississippi
River Reapins Heavy Harvest.

Clinton. Oct. 25.--Down along the
| bayous and sloughs Of the Mississippi
| there is some great duck hunting now
| adays and fathers and boys old enough
to handle gune are taking son out
| in the early morning. this means I
o'clock. and showing him how to pot
enough for the family needs. He IL
teaching his lad how to play the
game Incidentally the lad learned
| how the other fellow does not al
| ways play square and he's acquiring
an honest contempt for the fellow who
| will evadt the law at every turn.
The maraket hunter liz in this class.
He abounds and he is getting pretty
well heeled With money this fall, the
sale of FAT mallards adding consider
able to his Golfers. This Is how he
does it.
One Of the most energetic market
hunters has flock OF tame, Wild
ducks and about 200 decoys. He has
blind along the rivers edges and at
either end the decoys. wooden ones.
In the middle some OF the wild ducks
that have been reared in his yard are
tethered and he also has two trained
birds each with a string and n trailer
to one leg.
Down the river comes a flock OF
wild ducks looking for feeding
ground Mr.. Hunter whistles to his
pets and they answer with a "honk.
hork" and then he throws them some
kernels of corn He throws the corn
on the sand bar at the edge of the
water, near where his boat Is tied. The
wild ducks pause, listen to the call
and some more corn is thrown. Then
the ducks with the strings on the feet
are thrown into the air and they call
to the flying friends who seeming n
good feeding place drop to the slough
or the river.
The hunter is not averse to the
river at times. The birds feed in the
sedges and the boat glides along.
Disturbed by the advent of the man
the birds paddle along. the tethered
ones are kept fast and when the wild
flock has passed the point where shots
might hit any of his live decoys, tho
shotgun is lifted for a slaughter.
80 close is the boat that second
and sometimes third shot Is possible
before the flock gets away.
Then they are packed. Some of the
men who take their ducks to down
river markets are equipped with an
extra long suit case in which twenty
five birds at least may easily be
packed, the return in cash justify the
expense, especially when a killing is
made several days each week during
the season.

WAR SUMMARY

The Germans made violent and re-
peated efforts last night 10 regain po-
sitions recently wrested from them by
the French and British. They gained
some small advantages on the Verdun
front: otherwise, the only result OF their
attacks was to add to the heavy losses
which they have sustained in their
fierce local offensive operations OF late.
The British report three counter-at.
tacks against their new lines near Laos.
At the second effort the Germans
gained slight successes at points, but
were driven back again and the third
assault failed to shake the British de.
fense. Heavy artillery fighting is re.
ported In the Ypres sector, where the
British. after gaining high ground in
yesterdays attack on a nine.mile front,
were finally pressed back.
The attacks on the French were
made at widely separated points. In
Belgium, the Germans attempted TO re.
capture the ground taken by the French
along the Steenbeke river, but met
with no success. On the Aisne front.
the Germans made vigorous assaults
near the California plateau and east Of
Cerney. Shattered by the terrific ar.
tillery fire OF the French, the German
infantry formations were swept back
with heavy losses.
On the Verdun 'front.' heavy fighting
was resumed with German stroke on
Caurieres wood and Bezenvaux. At
points the attackers succeeded in gain.
ing n foothold In the foremost + -ench
trenches, but subsequently they we're
driven out OF the greater part OF these
positions.
British aviators yesterday dropped
several tons OF bombs on military es.
tabllshments in Belgium. The French
brought down two German airmen in
Belgium and forced two others to land
back Of the German lines.
