RED CROSS ROLL CALL One hundred and ninety-six Red Cross chapters in the Pacific division of the American Red Cross have marshalled their forces to conduct the fifth Red Cross roll call which opens tomorrow, Armistice Day, and closes Thanksgiving day. Membership dues varying from $1 to $100 are solicited from every adult citizen throughout the United States during the period of roll call. These membership fees and other voluntary subscriptions constitute the resources of the American Red Cross is only as big as they make welfare programs is obtained. The American Red Cross stands pledged to fulfil to the utmost its obligation to the ex-service men of the world war. Every chapter in the country has records to show what that service has meant, not only to the men but to the community itself. "This work can go on only if folks may be procured from any seed dealer and should go in at once. Another timely planting is of sweet peas; later sowing will bring lesser results. Aside from bulb and seed propagation, nurserymen, gardeners and amateurs are busy growing from cuttings or clips. A box of clean sharp sand, with holes in bottom for drainage, is the main item of equipment necessary. Bottom or artificial heat is not necessary. One must watch sharply, however, to see that sand does not become too dry. Also avoid too great saturation, most of all stagnation, for if the latter results, rot or damping off, will surely claim the cuttings. Alternanthera (border plants), begonia, coleus, fuchsia, hellotorope Marguerite and penstemon are some of the sorts from which cuttings can be taken. Perennial flower roots may be freely planted now and cutting back of old tops will bring new flowering growth. This method will not do for heliotropes, for the new growth is too tender to withstand the frosts that surely will come. Fuchsias are best left until March, for they are but half hardy. But hardy plants, such as penstemon, are best cut back now to within six or eight inches of the ground and new tops will bring new flowers. Mulch violets, carnations and other winter flowering plants; they need food now. The rose garden should be well fertilized and the fertilizer dug into the soil. Do not prune rose bushes now except to take out weak spindly growths, but give food and water freely. It is too early for lawn fertilization unless in dire need. If so, fertilize lightly and reserve main food supply until heavy rains no longer endanger its being washed away by flooding or run-off, or carried below root zone by saturation and percolation. GREAT SPEED EXPECTED ON "TURKEY" DAY 000 stake money. For Murphy is showing far greater speed in practice than any of the other pilots, DePalma not excepted. The youngster from out Vernon way is driving his French Grand Prix type Duesenberg around the board course in time supposed to be impossible a year ago. His workouts are the sensations of the day among the crowd of rail birds who are always on hand for the practice periods. A sensation was sprung when Secretary Young announced the entry of Omar Toft, sensational pilot of a few seasons ago, at the wheel of a genuine French Delage racing car, the first speed charlot of that make to be shown to a Los Angeles audience. The car is here, having been purchased for Toft. Toft drove the powerful ear a dozen laps last Friday at a speed which caused many wrinkled brows among the Dusenberg pilots. Before the war, the Delage was the king of the European race courses and with Rene Thomas of France, at the wheel, won the 1914 Indianapolis 500-mile event. The great rivalry between Roscoe Sarles and Tommy Milton will be an outstanding feature of the Turkey Day contest. Locked in a death struggle in the national championship point race, the pair are going to watch each other during every mile. Sarles leads Milton for the first time during the season by 265 points. Other pilots who are working out daily in order to develop greater speed for the titanic struggle Turkey Day are Joe Thomas, Eddie Miller, Eddie Hearne, Harry Hartz, former juvenile speed king who fell heir to Hearno's car when Eddie grabbed one of the new French Grand Prix type Dusies, Frank Elliott, John DePalma, Jerry Wonderlish, the European star, and Ralph DePalma. "The seat sale is astounding," declared Secretary Young. "It will not These membership fees and other voluntary subscriptions constitute the resources of the American Red Cross is only as big as they make welfare programs is obtained. The American Red Cross stands pledged to fulfill to the utmost its obligation to the ex-service men of the world war. Every chapter in the country has records to show what that service has meant, not only to the men but to the community itself. "This work can go on only if folks themselves realize that the American Red Cross is only so big as they make it," said Division Manager George Filmer, on the eve of the roll call. "The job to be done that is delegated to the American Red Cross is a job for the people that only the people themselves united under a common banner can perform. There is no plan for uniting our forward thinking citizens in a common cause for human welfare that outstrips our American Red Cross, and with a confidence gained by past performances I foresee its continued success—a success that means to each Red Cross member a realization of community plans, for helping one another in a big Red Cross way." Chapter workers go before the public with the record of what Red Cross is doing now as the basis of their call for Red Cross memberships and contributions. In practically every town some community work is being conducted under the leadership of the Red Cross that would have remained undone if the Red Cross spirit had not been established. Every community, rural or urban, feels the urge of the national organization for its gigantic disaster relief preparedness plan. This national organization is maintained through the network of chapters spread over the area of the United States. The American Red Cross services to the fighting forces of the nation in camps and hospitals is an outgrowth of the remarkable service established during the war. That huge undertaking—to give personal service to army and navy men and their dependents—can go forward only if chapter organization remains intact everywhere. Memberships to be solicited include: Annual memberships, $1; contributing memberships, $5; and sustaining memberships, $10. All but 50 cents of each membership remains in the local chapters to be used for community problems. GREAT SPEED EXPECTED ON "TURKEY" DAY "Little Jimmy" Murphy, Los Angeles boy, whose so-called "lucky punch" victory in the first 250-mile race run at Beverly a little more than a year ago caused his enthusiastic friends to predict great things for him in future races, is the outstanding favorite among the speed fans throughout southern California in the Thanksgiving day classic scheduled for the Beverly oval on November 24th. Sentiment will be mixed with good, hard sense by those who will applaud the efforts of Murphy when he battles a great field of starters in the Turkey day event for a major part of the $35. NOVEMBER PLANTING Now that some parts of the south have received heavy rains, and all parts some rain, gardening operations in general must be taken up. For weeds will grow, dormant bulbs will send up flower and leaf spikes and the weather is still warm enough so that under the combined stimulus of heat and moisture all plant life will become active. Wherefore we should become active in the garden. Though bulbs of many sorts have been planted in September and October, and others will be planted up to and in the beginning of the new year, there is no month when so many can be planted with assurance of success as in November, for this month is the last one for planting early bulbs and the first for winter or spring bulbs. Any and all except the tropicals, which are held for April planting, may be put in the soil now. Seed sowing is in the same happy medium of time as bulb planting and may be indulged in freely—except of sorts likely to be injured by frosts or those of such tropical requirements that seeds will not germinate because of low soil temperature. Some special sowing should be urged as of exceptional value at the present time. Sow seeds of native wild flowers, either in mixture or in separate kinds, which For Murphy is shower speed in practice than pilot de Palma not youngster from out driving his French pe Duesenberg around arse in time supposed to a year ago.

"It will not favors of Providence are manifest and for these Americans have shown a spirit of humble gratefulness. The Thanksgiving custom is highly commendable. It glorifies this nation and people, thus to recognize, in formal and devout manner, their obligations to Diety. This spirit testifies to the world that this is, in verity, a Christian nation; and this people, absorbed though they may be in strenuous secular activities, yet are not idolatrous worshippers of wealth and power, as some critics charge—they are not steeped in self-sufficiency, to the forgetting of God. Thanksgiving, this year, should be and will be observed with zest, as President Harding urges; for there are many bright spots in national life, and promise of better times, even though there be clouds here and there. This concluding injunction of the president's proclamation is a timely and suitable sentiment for the American people: "Opportunity for very great service awaits us if we shall prove equal to it. Let our prayers be raised for direction in the right paths. Under God, our responsibility is great: to our own first to all men afterward; to all mankind in God's own justice." PROFESSIONAL HUNTERS Uncle Sam maintains an army of approximately 350 professional hunters who by policing the western range country protect many million dollars' worth of livestock from damage and death by predatory animals. The bureau of biological survey, United States department of agriculture, estimates that annual losses of from $20,000,000 to $30,000,000 a year were heretofore sustained through the slaughter of domestic stock by mountain lions, bears, wolves, coyotes and other wild beasts which prey on THREE MILLION DOLLARS PAID WALNUT GROWERS Output of Orange County Estimated at 6000 Tons According to estimates made by Carlyle Thorpe general manager of the California Walnut Growers' association, Orange county produced more walnuts this year than any other county in the state, exceeding Los Angeles by 2000 tons. There are nine associations in the county and is estimated they have shipped, or will ship about 5000 tons. Shipments outside the associations will add a thousand tons to this, it is believed, making the total output of the county 6000 tons, which will bring the growers three million dollars. Early estimates for the various associations were as follows: Santa Ana, 2069 tons; Orange County association at Santa Ana, 147; Richland, at Orange, 750; Garden Grove, 522; Anaheim, 650; Fullerton, 585; La Habra, 175; Irvine, on San Joaquin ranch, 775; Capistrano, 265. The California Walnut Growers' association, it is believed, has sold all the nuts it will handle. In fact, it is believed there will be a shortage in the cannage sold due to the fact that the yield is not as heavy as early estimates indicated would be. The demand is good and the prices are satisfactory. The growers are "sitting easy" and it is said they will face next year with prospects of satisfactory prices on a market bare of California nuts. WANTS TO SERVE SENTENCE Convicted of practicing a system and mode of healing the sick and afflicted without a license from the state board of medical examiners, and granted probation because of the serious illness of her husband, Dr. Isla G. Bates, chiropractor of Orange has written a letter approximately 350 professional hunters who by policing the western range country protect many million dollars' worth of livestock from damage and death by predatory animals. The bureau of biological survey, United States department of agriculture, estimates that annual losses of from $20,000,000 to $30,000,000 a year were heretofore sustained through the slaughter of domestic stock by mountain lions, bears, wolves, coyotes and other wild beasts which prey on horses, cattle, sheep and swine. The average destruction of predatory animals is estimated to be $1000 worth of live stock annually for each wolf and mountain lion, $500 worth for each stock-killing bear, and $50 worth of damage by each coyote and bobcat. The government hunters utilize every possible means—guns, traps, poisons, and the like—to decrease the number of range rascals which ravage domestic herds and flocks. They police the Rocky mountain states from Washington to Texas, and are constantly in receipt of calls from regions where predatory depredations occur. WANTS TO SERVE SENTENCE Convicted of practicing a system and mode of healing the sick and afflicted without a license from the state board of medical examiners, and granted probation because of the serious illness of her husband, Dr. Isla G. Bates, chiropractor of Orange, has written a letter to "Judge Anderson," in which she states that her husband has been restored to health and that she desires to have the probation order withdrawn. The letter, on file in the county probation office, is dated Tijunga, Calif., November 3, and addressed to "Judge Anderson." It is presumed that she meant it for Judge Z. B. West, whp sentenced Dr. Bates to a jail term. Her preliminary hearing was held before Justice of the Peace Armor, at Orange, last April. The court room was packed to capacity.
