The following proclamation was issued today by Gov. Hays:

Been Twice Indicted.

Augusta, Ga., Feb. 21.-Thomas E. Watson, former populist candidate for the presidency, and now editor of sev- eral publications at Thomas, Ga, near here, has twice been indicted in fed eral district court here for alleged violation of Section 211 of the federal penal code which prohibits sending obscene, filthy and indecent matter through the mails.
 The first indictment, returned in 1913, was quashed on technicalities. Watson went to trial here November 27 last, on a second indictment, mak- ing the same charges, and on Decem- Der 1 the case resulted in a mistrial. Both the indictments were based on articles in which the Roman Catholic church, or members of it's organiza- tion, were attacked.

1ittle Rock, Feb. 22-New speak are are being added to the list of tbose who will take part in the con ,,ortion of the Laymen's Missionary Movement to be called in Little Rock March 1. ?. 3 and 5. Since the first list of speakers was announced, the committee has added the name of Dr. E. M. Waits, pastor of the Mag nolia Avenue Christian church, Fort Worth. Texas, one of the noted lead o,S of that denomination. It is also nrobable that Wm. T. Ellis, one of tbo foremost workers in Christian Endeavor and Sunday School circles in America, is engaged in the work of the Laymen's Movement, and will probably come to Little Rock.
 These and the men working with them are engaged in the second grand nationwide campaign in an effort to arouse the lalty of the coun- try to a higher sense of their rela- ton to the spiritual affairs of the world. In 1909-10 the first national campaign was held, there being sev- enty-one conventions, closing with a national convention in Chicago, with registered attendance of about 75,- O0O The results were remarkably encouraging, especially in view of the fact that this was the first cam paign of the kind ever conducted in America. In the present campaign 75 of the leading cities of the coun- try will be visited, including Little Rock. It will conclude with a Ma tonal Missionary Convention in Washington, D. C., April 26-30. and g number of Arkansas delegates are expected to attend.

HER NAME ISN'T FRAILTy

Less than two weeks ago an Ameri-
can aviator, Victor Carlstrom, made
new record for long-distance,

The women of Europe have been
doing prodigious things these last

that the women of Germany will go

will say they won't? 1t is not incon-

"The toad is nocturnal In habit,
coming out in the dusk to search for
food, which consists mostly of in
sects and their larvae. During the
day it sleeps in its burrow made by
backing into the soft earth or dense
vegetation.
"Toads are Of special value, since
they are accustomed to live in gar
dens where insects are most injuri-
GUS. In some sections Of the United
States the gardeners even buy them
to aid in keeping obnoxious insects
under control.
''The popular belief that toads are
poisonous is erroneous. They pos

ever, does not cause the formation of
warts upon the hands of those who
handle them, as is often supposed"

GETTING RID OF THE OK
WARBLE

Injury by the OK MARBLE, amount
ing to millions of dollars annually,
could be reduced to almost nothing
If stockmen would practice effective
practical methods of control, accord
ing to G. A. Dean, professor of ento-
mology in the agricultural college.
1.-THE presence of the OK MARBLE is
detected by passing the hand over the
back of the animal" said Professor
Dean. THE MARBLE may be de-
stroyed by putting kerosene, turpen-
tine, or mercurial ointment in or on
the opening through the skin direct
ly over the grubs. This treatment
should be given when the grubs ap-
pear on the backs of cattle from the
latter part of December to the middle
of January, because II the grubs be-
come tough before being killed they
are likely to cause sores.
IF the opening through the skin
is very small it should be enlarged
with a smooth, pointed stick. A ma
chinist's oil can having slender noz-
zle furnishes an excellent method OF
applying the medicine. This treat
ment may be applied rapidly by run
ming the cattle through chute, with
one man stationed on each side pro.
vided with an oil can filled with the
medicine.
1.-THE cattle should be examined
from Is to 20 days later, and any
grubs that escape the first treatment
should be squeezed out and crushed
1t is important that any grub:
squeezed out be destroyed, else they
will transform into adult flies.
1.-THE OK MARBLE is one of thu
worst enemies of cattle, especially IL
the grazing sections. 1t is sometimes
called botfiy, and heel fly. and is alst
often spoken of as a grub.

SPUSHBALLS 'ARE'COSTLY.,s
They Were Cheaper the Game Might
r. Be More Popular.

Be More Popular.
II some one could invent a pushbail
that could be malc at reasonable
cost the game would be more popular
h The enormous cost OF pHshualls has
made it possible for only very few
to5own them, and they have been rent
ed out at a high price to,those' wanting
to use them. The pushball is six feet
In diameter and costs $500. ''e5 "<&
The outside covering of a .pushball
is made Of coWhide leather. This coy
ering is composed of twenty strips.
which are sewed together by hand
Each of these strips is between nine
and ten feet long, or half the circun-
:. ference Of the ball. The strips are
widest in the middle, tapering uni
formly to points at either end, the
poles Of the ball, where they are fur
Their secured by leather caps sewed
over them.
70 get the leather needed for push
ball 1t Is necessary to cut up five or
six hides, which makes the cost of the
cover very high. 1t takes two men the
better part Of week, moreover, to
sew this material together.
The bladder for the ball is made of
the best rubber, which is cut into
strips and cemented together in such
shape that when inflated it will form

out In two Of three years, and a new
bladder costs $3.50. A large cylinder
foot pump suitable for initiating this
mighty ball costs $40.
The game originated in America.
The first pushball was made in New
ton, Mass, in 1894. This ball had a
covering Of leather shaped on a wood
en- form built for the purpose. -Four
big hides were required. These were
cut to form six zones, which were put
together with betting hooks. The blad.
der was made, of rubber cloth cut in
sections and cemented together The
materials for this ball cost about $175.
The game is played on a field with
q goal at each end, each team trying
to push the ball through the oppo-
nents' goal. It is sometimes used to
get baseball teams in condition during
the early days. The game is played in
Europe, both in England and on the
ointment.
One Of the most spectacular and
thrilling variants Of the game is that
played by horsemen In the west. It
requires two teams Of mounted play
ers, whose object also is to drive the
ball through the goal Of the opposing
side. 1t is pushed by the horses, which
must be as we'll trained as polo ponies
to maneuver it dexterously, and the
game calls for great experiences in the
. riders. Cowboy saddles and dress are
the correct outfit for this game.-St.
Nicholas.
