Poets Memory Lives.

The saying Christmas comes but once a year Is attributed to Thomas Tusser, medieval poet Q5241580). who seems to have been strong on epigrams. The same idea may have occurred to others. but Tusser gave it expression. He was classed as an agricultural poet, partly because he had not much education and partly because he treated simple themes which he understood in a plain and simple way. Tussor had an ear for music, and served to order as chor ister in some churches of his day His first publication was entitled "A Hundred Good Points of Husband rie, and later he published "A Hun dred Good Points of Husbandrie Late ly Married Unto Hundred Good Points of Housewifery," and still later this was amplified into Five Hun dred Good Points of HusbaRdry Unit ed to as Many of Good Housewifery, Reprints of these boks are still ex tant with an autobiography of the au thor in verse. Southey, himself 8 critical poet, chara Tusser as a good, honest, homely, useful olo rhymster." Some of Tusser's phrases have passed into proverbs.

GAINESVILLE SECURES
 BIG BASKET FACTORY
ARKANSAS-INDIANA LUMBER co. ESTABLISH PLANT IN
 THAT CITY.

Clarksville, May 3.-The Arkansas Indiana Lumber Company will have installed and running by May l5 the largest veneer basket factory in the state of Arkansas. They will at pres ent only manufacture enough bushol baskets for the present peach crop. but their plan will be eauipred to manufacture every kind of basket that the demand will permit and will not confine their business to Johnson county, but will be in shape to ship in ;arge quantities to any part of the | nited States.
 The company will guarantee their goods to meet the demands of the shippers and the price will be lower than the growers have been accustom- led to paying as the raw mate rial will be found in Johnson county and thereby disposing of all the t. ans portation charges. Twenty men will be employed in the mill and this will mean great deal to Clarksville, Johnson county and the growers of this section, both in business and the saving of many dollars. H. L. Now .ery, who has spent 20 years in the large mills of southern Indiana, will have complete charge of the plant.
 This enterprise should have the hearty cooperation of the entire coun- ty as 1t is one of the most needed manufacturing plants for this county for many years. The company had of fers from Conway, Russellville and other points with large bonuses but they decided Clarksville was the prop- CT place.

contests for the day was the series given at the high school auditorium last night, which included the high school quartets, the high school de- bate and the college debate. The audi ence was the largest that yet has at tended any of the contests. The high school reading contest, Section B, held at the Argenta high school, attracted a large number and the success of the entertainment filled the board mem bers with gratitude for the manner in which the meet was supported. During the afternoon several of the contests were staged at the convention hall in the Hotel Marion, and while the at tendance was not so large as at some of the others, the entertainment pro- vided was highly satisfactory.
 Great interest prevails among the several hundred contestants from all portions of the state, who eagerly are awaiting the decisions of the judges, which will be announced at the high school auditorium tonight. Following the announcement of the decisions, the medals and loving cups and the schol- arships at Crescent College will be awarded.

CHARM HARD TO ENALYZE
Its Presence Easily Felt, but Descrp- ton Will Be Found a Thing
 of Some Difficulty.

Over half of our American girls work. They stand behind counters bend over machines, sit at desks, and march, militant figures, in the proces sion of industries that seem to block the road to girlish grace and light heartedness and freedom from care One woman who has worked among and written books about and found inspiration in the working girl says that charm sometimes drifts down, unawares, thing ephemeral a gift of the gods to the girl who has had to work so hard that she has had no time to think about her lack of beauty.
 T wish l knew wherein charm lies :; but I don't know. although I've stud jed it and tried to analyze it as much as most folks have, suspect In books, in pictures, in people in places, I've met many, many kinds of charm but I've never been able to say just what it was that charmed me Ger tainly it was never mere beauty. nor mere intelligence, nor mere cheerful ness, nor mere kindliness. I've seen beauty that bored, and listened to cleverness that repelled, and met with cheerfulness that was inane and with kindliness that was exasperating Charm is gift of the gods, and il cannot be wooed like fame, nor won like money nor bought like titles, nor developed like patience, nor seized like 8 prize O war If it comes. it comes; and if it's thought on too much, it flies away.

Are 626 Students at Augustana
Three Below Record Figure
of 1908.

With 626 students enrolled at Au-
gustana college this year, all records
for the last decade are broken at the
local Institution Only once-in 1908
has the enrolment exceeded this
figure, a total of go students being
in attendance that year. Only in two
other years in the history of Angus
tana college has the enrolment ex-
coded 600-in 1900, when it was &C.,
and m 1901, when 1T was 619.
The 1912-1913 catalogue, which is
now in press, shows a remarkable
gain over last year, when the attend.
ance was only 529. The net gain.
therefore, is 81 students
DR.. E F. Bartholomew, who is in
charge OF the catalogue, declares that
the greatest gains have been made in
the conservatory department which
has been made one of the most i'm
portant adjuncts Of the institution by
compBete revision IN policy and fac
ulty. The commercial department
has also made a substantial gain,
while the college and academy have
also participated in the general In
crease The freshman college class
| this year is the largest in the his
tory Of the institution
DR.. Bartholomew attributes the IN.
crease to systematic and energetic
advertising during the last year. Use
has been made OF newspaper columns
in setting forth the advantages of the
local college as well as personal let
ters and visits to prospective stu
dents DR.. Bartholomew also attrib
utes the steady growth since 1910 tc
the reinstatement Of intercollegiate
athletics, and points to the sudden
slump in enrolment from 629 in 1903
when football was played, to 534 IL
1904, when the sport was abolished
A steady decline IN enrolment con
tinued until 1910, reaching a mini
mum in 1908, when only 462 attended

in 1S60-61, with q students. In 1856:
