tect You" vote offer.
Counting the hours that remain of
the big Cash Offer Campaign and
making every hour mean results, mem
bers seeking to share in the gigantic
gift distribution which will be de-
cided by the results accomplished be-
fore the end of the campaign are now
rushing through the home stretch at
furious pace. Votes are piling up in
substantial numbers and for so many
members that the outcome is as much
a mystery as ever.
The vote battle goes on throughout
the wide territory served by The
Worcester Democrat and the members
and their friends are in a turmoil of
excitement as the race is reaching the
final stage.
Those who are assuming the atti-
tude (there are very few of them) of
having enough votes, had better step
lively as the late starters are coming
to the front in an amazing manner.
Taking a rest is all right in its place,
but it is very dangerous at this critical
stage of the "Cash Offer" campaign
Those who think they can win any
award of such great value without
supreme effort will awaken to the
fact that while they were underesti-
mating the full pulling power of the
awards, the more energetic ones were
at work getting subscriptions and
when the votes are counted the work
ers will be the winners.
The protect You" vote ballots are
extra awards WHICH have been hung
up to reward the more energetic ones
in the list. They do not in any way
interfere with the votes allowed for
subscriptions. Double votes, or twice
the number of regular votes will be
allowed on all subscriptions this week,
| provided they are not second pament

LIFE COMES TO CLOSE
 FOR REV. H. P. C0RSER
Continued from Page Onel

ACouIluueu rom fage Onel body.
 As a lecturer and the author of Totem Lore and Through the Ten Thousand Islands of Alaska, which brought him national recognition. Mir. Corser had a wide acquaintance throughout the States. He was one of the few Alaskans who gained listing in Who's Who in America, from literary achievement.
 MT. Corser passed away poor in worldly possessions but rich in friendships. He left little tangible evidence, save for St. Philips Church and gymnasium, of the years of his work here. but all over Wrangell are homes that have known his kindness and in widely spaced parts of the world, as well as in Wrangell, are men who honor his memory because of the influence he exerted for good in their behalf when they were boys.
 While flowers have been made and sent for and loving hands have fashioned wreaths for the grave of MT Corser, many of his friends and parishioners are planning a more lasting tribute of stained glass me. morial window for the church. The plan has met with the ap- proval of so many that it's success is practically assured and arrange ments have been made to leave con tributions for this purpose with | Mir. Kirtland at the bank So far the sums promised, representing the amounts that would have been spent for flowers, are varying from two to five dollars but any amount will be gratefully received and held in trust until the fund is large enough to get a suitable window.
 It is believed that MT. Corser' s boys will also provide something in the way of a memorial in re- cognition of their debt to him but nothing definite has as yet been de- cided upon.
 Funeral serylces will be held Sunday afternoon at ? o'clock in the Episcopal Church, the delay having been caused by the necessity of sending to Seattle for a suitable 1 casket.

 Few people realize that IL costs two dollars to replace a plank in . street Of sixteen foot width, ana the average useful lite of that plank is from two to four years.
