Shopping List For
Meals Revealed

A food shopping list that would
make the average housewife just
a bit dizzy was revealed today by
H. A. Butler, manager of dining
car service on Southern Pacific's
Pacific Lines.
According to Butler, the railroad
ranks not only as the leading trans
portation agency for western farm
products, but also as one of the
western farmers best customers.
Purchases of foodstuffs in 1897
to stock 20 dining cars, eight rest
aurants and 13 ferryboat dining
rooms operated by Southern Paci-
fic in six western states give a
rough idea of the collective Ape
tites and tastes of hundreds of
thousands of travellers to whom
the railroad served some 100000
meals last year.
Of more than 2,00S,000 pounds of
meat and fish consumed, demand
ran heaviest to beef, of which 49,
338 pounds were served. Lamb
came second on the list with
total of 1857 pounds. Other items
were 243,575 pounds of fish, 1922
GIG pounds of ham, 222,145 pounds

Daniel, who enthralled tho
voters with rural rhythm and
boots at the professional poll
ticians, would lead the ticket
in yesterdays Democratic pri-
mary, but tide of ballots for o.
Daniel reached surprising pro-
portions.
A clear majority is necessary
in Texas to gain the Democratic

Kilday had 22,851.
Rep. w. D. McFarlane, blessed
by President Roosevelt recently
trailed Ed. Gossett, West Texas
lawyer, 21,152 to 1896 which
almost provided a majority.
Rep. Morgan Sanders influent-
ial member of Congress, was be-
hind Lidley Beckworth, 1851
to 1923.
Other Incumbent congressman
had safe leads.
In the unusual gubernatoriaI
race O'Daniel thus far had poll
ed 4O3,582 votes, Ernest Thomp-
son railroad commissioner, was
second with 161, 1893 and William
McCray, attorney general, was
third with with 107,309.
