Land settlement .was mentioned at a meeting of a few returned soldiers recently (states the Southland Times). "Take my case,” said ope. “I started in a bush section and put in £5OO of my own money. For two yeans I slogged away improving it and gradually getting behind, although receiving a good pension. My wife accompanied me, but the work was too hard for her and she died, leaving me to carry on. I got out with just enough to pay her funeral expenses, and I am nqw looking in vain for a job.”
