 How 10 Organize. A simple and practical plan Of or ganization for such work in any com munity is as follows: Get together a citizens organization of men and women who WANT TO WORK. This will serve as the cen tral organization with officers as presi dent, vice president, secretary and treasurer.
 The president should be a man whose namo carries weight in the com munity. The vicc-presdcnt should be chosen for the same qualifications. The treasurer should be man in whom the public has implicit conf donce. The secretary should be an energetic young man enthusiastic for the cause who is willing and able to shoulder a heavy burden as the cXCcu- tive officer in COordinating and guid ing the work of all sub-commiItccs.
 To carry on q recruiting campaign organize the following sab-eommit- tees:
 Finance, Speakers. Press, Picture Shows. Music and Drum Corps, AutO- mobiles, sub-stations and a Womon's Committee. These committees should be composed of as few persons as pos sible, one person Frequently being , enough.
