“THE WHITE RIBBON.”

Up to date our Unions have redeemed the promises made at Convention. They resolved to get 500 new subscribers during the year to cover the increased cost of publi- ation. That meant 125 each quarter. In the six weeks from Convention, there have been sent in 125 new subscribers which is most encouraging, and we heartily thank those Unions and members who have so readily come to our help. Our old friend, Miss Powell, heads the list w ith 25 new subs* ribers. She says: “You shall not have to use common paper if I can help it.” Wellington Central, 13; Palmerston N., 10; Mrs Lee-Cow ie, 9; Au< kland, 7; Christchurch and Mosgiel, 6; Ashburton, Morrinsville, Mrs Black (Waitoa), and Hikurangi, 4; Wanganui E., Mrs Neal, Lower Hutt, Port Chalmers, Stratford, Y.arkworth, Dunedin, and Mrs Evans, 2. The following Unions each sent one new subscriber: Grevmouth, Nelson, Kaiapoi, Norse wood, Cambridge, Woodville, Devonport, Waihi, Otahuhu, Waipawa, Henderson, Gisborne, Manaia, Wanganui, Alexandra, Waipukurau, and Nelson Y’s. Several Union> have written promising to get the six new subscribers which Convention asked for, and as many more as possible. Will every Union do its best to help by circulating the “White Ribbon”? We hope all Unions who can afford tos a year will advertise their meetings on the last page of the paper. It helps the paper to have a complete list of Unions, and it also helps the Union by letting any visiting White Ribboner know when and where they meet.
