He thanked all for their attendance, and explained tha; the returned men wanted the sup port and coâ€"operation of the public. There were 150 returned soldiers in the district, and the way they had taken up civil life again showed that they would make good citizens. _ He thought arrangements should be made for meeting returning soldiers, and he suggested the hoisting of a flag in town to announce the â€"fact that reâ€" turned men were expgcted., . *‘We want to be a benelip to the communâ€" ity,"‘ said Mr. Smith, ‘‘and with your «oâ€"operation we can do much." â€" He made some humorous references to churchâ€"going and volunteered to give a list of all returned men so <hbat the variousâ€"ministers conid invite them 4o go to church., **The men at the front have gone through a lot,""‘ he concludâ€" ed, ‘‘"but despite the hardships anrd the dangers we are ready to go back at any time to defend the old flag and the Empire."‘ j / Gapt.

The audience at Imis suggestion rose and stood with bowed heads for the space of one minâ€" uté, as a token of respect for the soldiers who had given their lives for liberty and right in the Great War.
