In set theory without the Axiom of Choice (AC), we observe new relations of the following statements with weak choice principles. 1. Every locally finite connected graph has a maximal independent set. 2. Every locally countable connected graph has a maximal independent set. 3. If in a partially ordered set all antichains are finite and all chains have size $\aleph_α$, then the set has size $\aleph_α$ if $\aleph_α$ is regular. 4. Every partially ordered set has a cofinal well-founded subset. 5. If $G=(V_{G},E_{G})$ is a connected locally finite chordal graph, then there is an ordering $<$ of $V_{G}$ such that $\{w < v : \{w,v\} \in E_{G}\}$ is a clique for each $v\in V_{G}$.
