SEEK SAFE HAVEN ON FARMS
Landowners to Employ" Their Sons to Escape Draft.

Government agents have been at work in Queens Investigating the cases of several farmers in the Newtown. Flushing and Great Neck sections who are reported to have accepted money to keep sons of wealthy men on their payrolls so as to escape the draft, says the New York Herald. The agents have obtained the names of young men who registered as farmers, but who, it is said, have not been tilling the soil.
 Government officials have been told that farmers have been well paid by wealthy parents to employ the youths. According to reports that have been openly discussed in these sec tiOns at least a dozen farmers have men on their payrolls who do not know grubhook from q cultivator. These men, according to the story, are supposed to report daily to the farm CTS and to receive wages of $6 week. Instead of working on the farm the young men are devoting their time to playing golf or driving about the island in their motor cars.

VELDT MARKS ITS JEWELLERS
Doomed to Live in Plain of
British South Africa.

Before the Boer war there was a
saying current among the Beers Of
South Africa that you could always
recognize a man who had spent five
years on the veldt. This was a saying
no less true then than now, for the
veldt is a place of great silence and
loneliness and 1t leaves its mark on
those who dwell in 1t.
The veldt is the great plain of what
is now British South Africa, the limit
less, featureless stretch of prairie dot
ted with knobs of hills that the Beers
call kOpjes, pierced and gashed by
rain-washed gullies that III their
twisting course from horizon to hori-
zon. The word "veldt" is closely al
lied to the German word for world"
or universe" and the relationship is
something more than mere coinci-
dence. To the man standing in the
midst of this plain 1T seems to extend
in every direction to the OutermoSt
limits of space.
The veldt is without sound or color,
without striking features to catch the
eye. A days trek among low hills
covered with gray grass, plods wear
lily through mile after mile of the same
hills, and ends in a dry valley as like
the valley of the morning as one pea
is like another. After n few days of
this the traveller wonders If his prog
ress is not n mere illusion, If he is not
returning day after day to the same
spot.
Now and again the monotony Is
broken by some veldt farm, II place of
exceeding loneliness for the exiles who
till IT.. There will be n farmhouse, n
barn, Il kraal, II we'll and n few huts
for the kafiirs. To the railroad may
be a distance of anywhere from 20 to

must be sufficient unto itself. Life on

inner of man or woman.
