THE LAST MAN.
“The Governmetn acted very unwisely, in my judgment, when it made it public that the last man on the farm would not be taken for military service,” said Mr. D. McLaren, chairman of the Wellington Military Service Board, at the Palmerston sitting. “We have hundreds of people straining to be the last man on the farm, and many fictitious pleas are made.” The Board, said Mr. McLaren, was not going to be misled by any abstract statements about (being the “last man on the farm” but would want full details. Mr '“Considine, another member of the Board, said that there should not be much trouble in getting men to manage farms, as he had advertised for a man to manage a place of 600 acres and had received 40 applications from men in all parts of the country.
