The payment of a pension upon the most liberal basis possible i qui-te a small recompense to the men who have risked their lives for the Empire. The fact that our great army -is composed entirely of volun- teers, makes the debt of the State to the returned soldiers a double one. Through our Hospitals -Commission and the various provincial organiza- tions we have made a start toward theproper care of our returning sol- diers. It is indeed gratifying to note the plans for re-training the in- jured)men, so that they will be able to earn even a larger income, in many cases, than before they were disabled. But we have only made a start, and an exceptionally small one at that. With only a. small percent- age of the disabled Canadians as yet returned to ou-r shores, our facilities for handling them are at this mo- ment taxed to the limit. A The returned soldiers in some sec- tions are even now passing resolu- tions of `protest against their treat- ment by the state. This is to our shame. We must not leave this work to the Government. These are matters for the municipalities, boards of trade, manufacturers as- sociations and similar public orgaui zations to take up with serious thought and denite action. Confer- ences, are, of course, quite necessary in dealing with such important mat- ters, but so far we in Canada have been too prone to allow our oppor- tunities slip by while we are mark- ing time in talking about what we should do. _, _.A_..

Dear Sir:--Just' a few. lines a- bout old Virginia; ' Onley. is .`a' quaint old place with many mod- ern homes but lacking in sanitary ` conditions. "The great Potatoes ' Exchange is here employing one hundred or more hands in the village and `at the many different landing stations, inspectors 0 and sales agents in all the large cities in the United `States and Canada. Their turn-over is about 10,000 cars annually. Yesterday their salesamounted to $250,000.00 (a quarter of a million). The man; ager, Mr. Burton, and staff, are a fine lot of -men. The citizens of Onley are all classed as such on this Peninsula called the East Shore. There is 80,000 acres under potatoes' and the output is 18,000 cars. ` The Exchange handles a very large percentage from Cape_Charles to. the Poto- mac. iOther products are sweet potatoes, corn, cabbage, onions. \\'e have an abundance of fine` qualit_v sea sh from Chesapeake Bay. The roads are macadam- ized with oyster shell `in places and are fairly good but so crook- ed; no doubt the trails of the early settlers. It takes two mil-` lion barrels to contain the pota-- toes. They are made at every village and cost 32c. and 31/20. for cloth covers. Potatoes are today (the 6th of July) $4.00 to $4.50 per bbl. The duty and freight to Ontario points amounts to around $1.50 per bbl. There is a big de- mand all over, the U. S. and prices, it would appear, will. rule high this year.

The veter- ans from the Northern States after]. the civil war were practically forced to organize that they might obtain something of just treatment from the ` nation they had helped to save. After the surrender of Lee and the grand review of the Union Army at Washington in 1865, the soldiers were turned back to their home com- munities in regiments and companies. Of course the coming home brought gala days and fetes. For the first few months the veterans were heroes and the centre of thought on every hand. Then the nation turned from, [our years war and destruction to peace and reconstruction. the sol- diers were gradually forgotten.
