PROCLAMATION To the People of the State of California With the gradual completion of grape shipments in the northern part of the state, citrus fruit shippers in Soother California may look for a considerable improvement in the car situation, in the opinion of L. D. Palmer, manager of the Orange County Fruit Exchange. While the nine orange packing houses of the exchange could use an appreciable number of cars more daily than are being received at present, Palmer states, the situation relative to cars has been better during the past week or ten days than it was earlier in the month. The northern demand for cars is easing off. The Fruit Exchange will not be able to complete its season's shipments before December 1, according to Palmer. Between 450 and 500 carloads of oranges remain to be shipped. While shortage of cars and labor have delayed shipments to a great extent, it is not at all certain that the exchange will suffer a loss as a result, according to Palmer.

Lester Patterson, on charge of passing a fictitious check, was placed in the county jail, awaiting his preliminary examination in justice court on November 6, at 2 oclock. The complaint against Patterson was sworn to by Hugh Larue, groceryman, of Cypress. The check was made out for $25.25, according to the complaint. A blank check of the Anaheim National Bank was filled out by Patterson, it is alleged. The name "W. H. Musser" was signed to the paper, the complaint sets forth. At the time he swore to the complaint Larue said that Patterson came to his store and offered the check. Larue said he became suspicious and let Patterson have only $20 on the check. When the check was presented to the bank it was found worthless, according to the lomplainant. It is fortunate for the city that Chas. H. Mann is a member of the council, and while the other members of the board are all representative citizens and have a keen insight for the betterment of the city's welfare, Mr. Mann is an expert mechanic and his advice upon matters of a technical nature is valuable to the board. Regarding the installation of new machinery at the power plant Trustee Mann's knowledge is a benefit in the deliberations of the board when arriving at a solution of problems coming up before them. While the several departments are in competent hands still at the same time, with all due respects to other members of the municipal governing body, the city's interests are safeguarded by having a councilman who has a clear perception of matters along intricate mechanical lines.

PROCLAMATION To the People of the State of California: In peace time and in war the American Red Cross has demonstrated its great service for humanity. Its achievements have been notable. It is truly one of the noblest institutions created by man. It calls now for further and whole-hearted support. The success of the American Red Cross has established it as the medium through which we may perform the duty that we clearly recognize. Through that organization we may feel assured of effective direction and the best possible use of the funds we may desire to contribute. Distress and suffering fill the world, in the wake of the Great War. The cries of millions of human beings for succor must not fall on deaf ears. We must not shirk our obligation to mankind. In the drive for financial aid that is to be made in November, I trust that the people of California will give generous subscriptions. Their response was unfailing during the war but it is now an imperative duty to give further to the great work. WM. D. STEPHENS, Governor of California.
