PLANS OF WORK.

1. Portion your town into districts, and get every member to visit the people in the district in which she lives. 2. Appoint a member in every church to introduce our paper to the women in their church, and ask them to sub scribe, 3. ( Jet a speaker to plead the claims of the "White Ribbon" in every Missionary Union, Women’s Guild, Bible Class, etc., to which you can gain admittance. 4. Get out into lwu*.k country districts. It will pay you well. You introduce yourself, the W.C.T.U., the “White Ribbon," the Prohibition clause, to many who would never otherwise hear of them. Pleasant Point, a most progressive Union, tried tnis plan, and their agent writes: “Mr and Mrs Butler took Miss Bishop (President of W.C.T.U.) and I 53 miles in their car to canvass for suliscribers, and I received ten new names, which we considered good. (I should think so! A fine day’s work.—Bd. W.R.) Our district is very scattered, and we were thankful to Mr Butler for taking us. We left at 10 a.m., and returned at 5 p.m. We took our lunch, and had it in a nice sunny spot on the road, and we fully enjoyed the day s outing." These two last year went round in a gig. and got several ..w subscribers, and did not get one refusal.

Will every Union plan and work to make June "White Ribbon month, and get a record number of subscribers? Don’t leave it to the agent. It is the Union’s job to do this. House to house canvassing with a paper Is better than canvassing for votes. You soon find out which side they are on when you introduce our paper, and you can then help to win the doubtful votes. As far as we have papers in band we will supply w’Ph free copies to distribute during June for canvassing if you will apply to Business Manager. One Union is buying a few' supplements to put in their station !*>*. Tho children take them out and take them home. You can have the Supplement for 2/6 a hundred. This just pays printer’s cost. Tf you want any more information or help, just apply to our "White Ribbon" office. Foxton, and we’ll be glad to give

you every help. We exp» ct to have to engage an extra clerk to l>ook up tin new subscribers for our "White Ribbon" month.
