ROLL OF HONOUR.
What is that, and how do 1 got my name on it? Well, any Union can got its name on our Roll of Honour by increasing its list of “White Ribbon'’ subscribers by 50 per cent. Now, who will be the first to go on? But why should I got more subscribers? 1. Because 1 want to have a dry and sober Dominion. 2. Because the only way to get this is to educate voters, particularly first voters and young people. 3. Because if you want the youth educated, it is a good plan to start with their mothers and educate them. 4. Because the “White R : bbon“ contains much that is educative, and tells the Iruth without fear or favour, and gets its facts straight from those who are doing the work. How shall I gain new subscribers? 1. Pray about it! Think about it! Talk about it! 2. Send to the Business Manager and get a few’ copies to give away, and then introduce it to y’our friends. 3. Whi.i people ask you the facts about Prohibition or other matters, refer them to what you read in “White Ribbon.’’ And if you don’t find what you want there, write to the Editor and ask for it to be put in next time. 4. Ask your men friends to give a year's subscription as a present to their wives or mothers. Thirteen years ago tw’o young men paid a year’s sub. for their mothers, and it has been renewed every year since by mother. Here is a testimony of its usefulness from a State officer of the W.C.T.U. in U.S.A.:— “The last copy of the ‘White Ribbon' has done itself proud in the Woman’s Police article. It so happened that we have a Bill before Congress providing a legal status for our Woman’s Bureau and an enlargement of its work and workers. Yesterday there was a hearing before Congress, and one of the questions put to the first witness was,
‘ls there anything tangible you can tell of such bureaus in other countries?* So the ‘White Ribl>on’ was slipped into the h;uids of the chief to bo used at rebuttal time.”
