AFFIDAVITS MUST
SUPPORT CLAIMS
Necessary for Farmers to Make Out
Papers if They Keep Men Of
Draft Age Working on Farms.

NORTHFIELD, VT, April "a new
draft of about 10000 men shortly will be
called to the colors The provost marshal
general has ordered that men actively,
completely, and assiduously engaged in the
planting or cultivation OF crop but who
are listed in Class | and within the new
quota should be deferred until the end Of
the new quota.
The local draft boards, being judicial
bodies, cannot defer the call of such men,
however, unless the farmers employing
them comply with the law and support
their claims for deferred calling from
afhdavits. 1t is therefore OF vital impor-
lance that farmers employing necessary
men within the new quota Immediately
execute and file such afiidavits with the
local boards
| Ii farmers whose hands are affected by
this new cali fail to follow this advice
| they will have no cause for complaint il
their men are taken from them at this
critical time. 1t viii be useless and un
reasonable later to protest il they have
done nothing to retain their help. I'm
mediate action ON the part of every
farmer concerned is essential and should
not be delayed under any circumstances

PUTTING DOWN EGGS.
Prices May seom High but They Will
Be Higher Next Winter.

In March, April May and June eggs
are most plentiful and cheap. Thrifty
housewives will then put them down
for fall and winter Even owners OF
large flocks should do so, in order to take
advantage of the low prices. as to feel
able later to nse eggs freely even when
eggs are high. Remember that eggs are
valuable, not only FOR protein, but for
iron, phosphorus and other growth and
repair material

The Test Of Battle.

The German drive at Verdun, which

days the assailants drove steadily
ahead, at heavy cost. Their subsequent
attempts to advance inch by inch at
various points died down in August.

miles of French soil at a critical angle.

HARTFORD, Conn, April 3.-The

Alaska-Garden of the World.

Alaska can be made the agricultural
miracle of the world. This announcement
is made by Prof, c. c. Georgeson, 20 years
in Alaska, in charge of the government
farm experiment stations, who came out
in December last and brought proofs OF
his assertion.
Georgeson is great explorer, pro-
found scholar and student. He says that
what he knows is trivial in comparison
with the secrets that nature is ready to
disclose to mankind" He went to Alaska
many years ago to study its agricultural
possibilities. He scorned opportunities for
wealth. He said he was there to discover
resources of far greater value than gold
By painstaking efforts through several
years he proved that many kinds of food
plants would grow in the interior. Then
he adopted for his lifework the task of
developing hardy grains and plants that
would mature perfectly, with absolute GER
tainty, yield abundantly and survive the
cold. His task is now far advanced. He
returned Just before Christmas and an
nounced that Alaska will produce food
fuel and metals for population of many
millions; that he has perfected hybrid
wheat, oats and barley that will grow te
perfection and yield abundant crops
throughout an area of $4,000 square
miles; strawberry plant that survives
the winters without protection and pro
duces enormous crops of berries having 6
most delicious flavor; alfalfa of new
kind that will provide food for livestock
and replenish the nitrogen of air ant
soil, and many other wonderful things
These were fundamental needs-facts ae
complished.

WILSON SOUGHT As
 JUSTICE FUC|T|VE

Ernest H. Wilson is a fugitive from justice. having forfeited the $500 bond placed by Justice of the Peace Murphy of Flagstaff for his appearance on the charge of obtaining money by false pretenses.
 Wilson was arrested in the north on a warrant issued from Justice De Sou- za's court, the complaining witness be- ing J. L. Cant of Glendale.
 The Coconino county officials were notified by Justice de Souza to place the bail bond of Wilson at 5000, and he was ordered to appear in Phoenix for arraignment on Monady morning. Justice Murphy reduced the bond to $500, which was furnished by we'll known Flagstaff business men. The country is being flooded with telegrams giving descriptions of Will son, who is alleged to have said he was active in the service and had been commissioned major.
 In the original story of the arrest of Wilson at Flagstaff on the warrant issued in Maricopa county, it was stat cd, through error that the charge against him was failure to provide. This was mistake, as the charge upon which he was arrested was for the all legged taking Of money through false pr pietenses. There is no indication that there has been ahy domestic disagree ment in the Wilson family whatsoever

 T came to meet my father-in-law, x. w. Haggard.'

 l T don't think so.'' 1 Attorney Testifies | A. D. Leyhe, an attorney. was the next witness called by the defense. MT. Leyhe stated that when the newspa- pers stated that Folston disappeared he figured back and recalled that he had seen McCann on that day. He would not say with positiveness as to the day of the week or the date. Under cross examination he said that if the newspapers stated Wednesday as the day in which Folston disappeared that was the day he saw McCann. L. c. Sowell on being recalled by the defense testified that he saw Me- Cam between and o'clock on the evening of November 19. He was with the police department at that time and went on his beat at o'clock so was able to fix the time he said when he saw them in front of the Graham experiments where they lived Sowell declared that it would take two and half hours fast driving to motor from Phoenix to the spot where the body was found and the return would occupy the same length or. time. Coun- ty attorney Laney asked the witness if it would not be possible to leave Scottsdale between 1880 and 2 o'clock in the afternoon drive to the spot where the body was found and back to Phoenix before o'clock in the even ing. The witness admitted it could be } done.
 Mrs. Maud Frazier testified attend ing the Columbia theater with MT. and Mrs. Ival McCann on the evening of l November 19. She said they had come for her some time after o'clock and though she could not fix the exact time when questioned by Laney she said il , was about dark. , If MT. Sowell testified that he saw MT. and Mrs. McCann in front of the Graham apartments between 8 and z o'clock that evening he was mistaken, asked Laney.

Disapproval of
 Officials Voiced
 By Lannar Cobb

The weather tried to bluff Hon. Lamar Cobb again last night and to break up his third meeting at the city hall plaza, but it failed miser- ably. But Mir. Cobb was not sure that it was bluff and that it would not materiaIize into an honest ef- fort. Consequently what he had to say about the various candidates for the democratic nomination he said about himself first as he had a perfect right to do since he had organized the meeting and paid for the advertising.
 He spoke first on tho subject of good roads of his long and active interest in good roads in various parts of the country and of the service he had performed in seeur- ing national legislation on the sub ject. Thus he nicely surfaced the thoroughfare to a point whence he could launch an attack upon the commission on state institutions and Attorney General Jones who had interfered with his conduct of the office of state engineer.
 It became evident as Mir. Cobb proceeded that he disapproved of MT. Jones and that the chief obj bject of his remarks was so to arrange matters that that gentleman should not be his legal adviser after Janu- ary1 of next year.

Examinations Of NeN Glass
 Start July 25

July 25 is tho day set for start Class 1 men, both those re-classi. fled from the 1917 list and all those placed in Class 1 from the registrations made June 5 last, the local board announced yester- day.
 There will be approximately 25o' examined and it IS estimated 1t will take three nights. The work will be done by the local board, with one head physician and sev- eral assistants. Dr.. A. B. Nich- ols, the regular physician member of the local board, is absent from the city and will not be present for the forthcoming examinations. The board, however, has not yet determined on a substitute for pr. NiehoIs or upon the personnel of the examining staff.
 The local board reported that about 30 per cent of the msn registered for military service June 5 will go in Class l: There were 410 men registered then. This is considered as a remarkable showing, and a very encouraging ratio to the percent age of Class 1 men found after the registration last year. when, not fully aware of the import of the draft, many sought through one means or another to be placed in the lower classes, so as to re- main at home.
