OUR GOAL: 1000 NEW SUBSCRIBERS FOR 1915.

Our journal, the “White Kibhon.’’ owes much of its success to the devoted and faithful labours of our agents in each Union. Upon our front page will be seen the photo, of thrie veteran agents. Mrs Williams, of Christchurch, has the largest list of subscribers in the Dominion, and last year sent in 40 new subscriptions, and collected all subsciiptions up to date. Miss Butterick, Ashburton’s fai.t ful agent, now entering cn her ninth mir of service, has more “\Y. R.” subscribers (70) than the Union has members (54), and everv subscriber is paid up for the current year. Mrs Stewart, of Gisborne, after long and faithful work, has had to resign owing to leaving the district. In one or two Unions where the subscriptions had been allowed to fall into arrears, officers of the Union came to the rescue, and worked hard to gather in arrears, and also to gain new subscribers. To all our earnest and hard-working agents we desire to tender our hearti-

est thanks for past favours, and we entreat them for help in our forward move. We want 1000 new subscribers this year; this is not quite a 50 pel cent, increase, and we feel sure it can bo done by earnest and devoted i ffort. The w ider our circulation, the greater influence will we exert, and t! ough to fight strong drink till wo bam-h it from our midst is our first endeavour, we also fight every enemy of Home and Native Land. Will all 1 nions get busy at once? Try and interest other women’s so< ietios in ( ur paper, and get them to become subscribers. Unions having agents rally round and help them, and Unions without agents please appoint one at once, and send name and address on a post-card to the Business Manager. Be always on the watch for new subscribers. Palmerston North held a meeting to hear report of Convention. Thcii energetic agent secured seven new subscribers at that meeting. Timaru -ent five new names to-day, and three new ones last week. Will other Unions please help, and all make a special effort 011 White Ribbon Day.
