ARMOUR WAS SHOT
 THROUGH THE BACK

SANTA FEE, N. M., Jan. 31.-Shot. dug out today from the rear of the cervical vertebrae of the late Clyde Armour; shot holes and powder burns on the back of the tattered coat and cap, bear out the theory that Armour. whose clean picked bones were found in an arroya near Glorietta yesterday was shot in the back and killed by his motor companion on October 24.
 This man is alleged to be E. w. Blanchette, who arrives tomorrow from Friday Harbor. Wash, to face trial.
 Evidence indicates that the body ot Armour. who was shot in broad day light in view of a main travelled high way, was hurriedly abandoned by his slayer, and no attempt was made to remove identification marks. A shot gun was found near the body with one of its shells exploded.

FOUR FIFTHS ASK
FOR EXEMPTION

Bangor, Me, Aug. 5.-Clams for ex-

men called in the first draft and it is now
anticipated that probably 100 more men
will have to be called out to secure the
Bangor districts quota of 90, or $50 in aN.
Several of the men who have been &C
cepted as physically qualified for the
draft army here are asgrieved because
they were rejected when they tried to
enlist voluntarily.
The eastern Maine exemption board in
session here has received an order that
all claims for exemption on grounds OF
dependency must he passed upon individ-

Spray for Leaf=Spot
Of Tomatoes
Resin FishO Soap Added to Bordeaux Mixture Promises
Method of Control

Washington, Aug. 5.-yThe addition OF
resin fish-oil soap to Bordeaux mix
ture promises to control tomato leaf
spot, although Bordeaux alone has not
prevented losses.
Plant disease specialists in the Fed
eral Department Of Agriculture oescribe
the leat-spot disease as one which
causes defoliation of the plants,
greatly reduced yields, and inferior
fruit. Small circular spots develop on
the leaves and sometimes on the
stems. They first appear as tiny dots,
! having a dark or water-soaked appear
ance. Gradually they enlarge and
turn brown, and leaves shrivel and
drop, beginning at the base OF the
plant.
Making the Solutions
Bordeaux mixture is best prepared
by making stock solutions Of the
separate ingredients. The copper sui
phate should be mixed in the proper
| tons of a gallon OF water, preferably
soft water. to a pound of the sulphate
crystals and there should be five gal
Ions Of this stock solution for each acre
of tomatoes to De sprayed. The crys-

way by suspending them in n burlap
bag which touches the surface of the
water; the solution should be wen
stirred.
The lime suspension or milk Of lime,
is also Il pound to a gallon, but only
three fourths as many gallons are
needed as of the copper solution,
Thus if there are twenty gallons Of
the copper solution there would be only
fifteen Of the lime milk. The fine

the water on iE small quantities and
at intervals until all has crumbIed.
Finally larger quantities are added
with constant stirring until the volume

capacity and as the direct agent OF the
President in the execution of the
draft law, is confident that order can
be restored without military aid.
There will he no hesitation. however,
in employing Federal troops if they
are needed.
Press reports and other advices re-
ceived indicate that in one or two
widely separated districts, individuals
misinformed "a to the purposes of the
law and misguided as to its result, are
threatening forcible resistance to the
draft.
Nothing to Resist
There is nothing to resist at this
stage in the execution Of the law. All
male persons between the ages of Fl
and 80. inclusive, have been enrolled
for military service. A preliminary
call has gone forth to some such per
sons, but the immediate and actual
object Of this call is merely to provide
an opportunity for such persons. or
for someone else in respect Of them. to
present to the Government reasons
why they should not be finally ordered
to report for military duty. If such
persons do not appear and present
these reasons, they have simply neg
lected to. take advantage Of an op-
portunity that was offered solely for
their benefit. The failure of persons
to take advantage of this opportunity
does not interfere with the raising Of
the army and interests of the Cover
nment only as punishable crime Of
omission. If they do not desire TO
make any such claim or, if for any
other reason they fail to appear, their
names are automatically posted as
having been called and not exempted
or discharged Automatically. also,
they are indicted into the military
service and made subject to military
law Failure TO appear merely has
tens this authentic procession.
when the fine allowance for making
these claims has elapsed. these persons
will be enrolled as in the military SER
vice They will then We ordered to ap-
pear as soldiers. From this point on.
