TRUNK LOADED TO

Claimed at Stranger
Arrested on Suspicion.

CLAREMONT, y. H., May 1.-Two
hundred and ninety pounds of "'wet
goods - arrived unostentatiously at the
railroad station here Wednesday, com
ing from Concord in an innocent look
ing brass-bound trunk. Frank Owens,
by some strange coincidence arriving on
the same train from the state capital,
has been arrested by the police OH sus-
picion. Vt the preliminary hearing he
diselaimed all knowledge Of the trunk
and its contents, and the case was
continued until two uitlcok this after
noon.
knowledge of the trunk s expected
arrival came to Chief Of Police White
by way of message from Concord
which warned him to be on the lookout
for a uspicious-looking trunk on the
500 train. The chief, with thoughts OF
German bombs uppermost III his mind
arrested the trunk when it came in. Not
knowing its contents, it was deemed
best to operate with care until tn,
true inwardness' of the consignment
was ascertained.
Vt length the cover was carefully
raised. Within lay rows on rows oi
long, cold bottles, filed to their neck:
with fircwater of various brands. Tn,
number of glass containers is unOtfi
ciallv given as fifty four, all of quar-
size and each loaded with its supply
of liquid fire. The entire consignment
was securely fastened up and is nov
under lock and key pending the deei
sion of the court.

Expert Advice on Food Gardens
Daily Hints on How to Make Back Yards Profitable

plant demands plenty Of water-lt is
even sometimes advisable to irrigate
by allowing water to flow between the
rows. The plants, too, take up much
room in the garden. They ought to set
from II to IS inches apart.
Early caulif1ower seeds should be
sown in hotbeds or indoor seed boxes
and the plants set out III the garden as
soon as the soil is warm. Care must be
taken to harden off the seedlings by
getting them accustomed to outdoor
life before transplanting them. For
late caulitlower the seeds may be sown
in the beds between the dates of June
20 and July 10, but in hot climates
these plants are likely to fail. Besides
plenty of water they need constant and
thorough cultivation with hoe or rake.
When the heads begin to thieken
the outer leaves should be drawn over
the centers and tied, to exclude the
sunlight from the "curd. Care should
be taken that the heads are dry when
this is done, otherwise they are likely
to rot. Also plenty Of room should be
left for the head to expand.
Harvest the eaulitiower before the
head begins to break into separate clus
ters. This will be in - to Is weeks
fter planting. The condition of the
cad can be seen by opening the tiej
ayes on the north side of the plant

dition with a fractured skull and an
injured shoulder, the result Of being
struck by an east bound passenger
train at Zoar bridge, west of Green
field, Both men were unconscious last

The accidents were probably due e
the fact that ON account of a wreck
near Shelburne Falls the east bound
trains were running on the west bound
track, and the young fellows did moi
realize that they were in front Of n
oncoming engine. Graves was near
the edge Of the track when struck. il,

In making this selection order, numbers are not controlling, but great care must be taken not to send men whose order of call Is so late that they win not be with in the quota of the boards The careful selection of these men will be of great assistance to the orderly organizations Of the national army and it is hoped that local boards will act with this in view.
 Tn order that it may not be necessary to make any special railway arrangements and to prevent a congestion of normal railway traqffic local boards should be in structed to send approximately per cent of their quotas on each of five successive days beginning September ,. It is thought that every board in the country will have available at least 5 per cent of it's quota by September 5 and therefore that it will not be necessary for the adjutant general of the state to call upon any board for more or less than per cent"

 TEXT OF MESSAGE
 Following is the text of the mes sage sent to the governors dealing with the status of married men, prepared at tary Baker and General Crowder:
 "A feeling has been expressed that in passing on claims for discharge on the ground of dependents, local boards ought in no case to refuse a discharge to married man or to the head of @ family. The law under which local boards act requires that, before such a discharge can be granted, depen- dency as well as relationship must be established. The matter having been presented to the President the follow ing are his orders thereon:
 ORDER OF PRESIDENT
 "'We ought far as practica-
 ble to raise this new national ar- my without creating the hard ships necessarily cntafled when the head of family Is taken and I had hoped that for tke most part those accepted in the first call would
 be found to be men who had not yet assumed such relations.
 The selective service law makes the fact of dependents, rather than the fact of marriage, the basis for exemp- tion, and there are, undoubtedly. many cases within the age limits fixed by law, of men who are married and yet whose accumulations or other eco- homie surroundings are such that no dependency of the wife exists in fact. Plainly, the law does not contemplate exemption for this class of men.
 The regulations promulgated on June 30, 1917, should be regarded as controlling in these cases, and the or- ders issued under that regulation di- recting exemption boards to establish the fact of dependents in addition to
