XIX NO. 96 OF THE EVENING NEWS WW?: Today Straw Hat Day The Band Wagon : Vegetables and Meat : Listen to Lili Damita By Arthur Brisbane' (Copyright 1928 oy Star Company) Today men buy new straw hats. Write this on your tab lets: Ten million men in America think more earnestly about this spring's straw hat than they will about next fall's presidential vote. It looks like a "band wagon rush" for Secretary Hoover. William M. Butler, chairman of the republican national commit tee, and Massachusetts leader, will vote for Hoover. Mr. Mellon's strong indorse ment of Secretary Hoover con vinces nine . "practical repubti vinces nine "practical"- republi settled. -. There seems to be nothing left of the plan "to beat Hoov er" except the. possibility that President Coolidge can be in duced to change his mind. Those that know the president, even a little, do not expect it. William Childs, owner of many restaurants, says he is NOT trying to make America vegetarian by refusing to sell meat. Wisa man.' Vegetarian nations are usually slave na tions. Three hundred million la dies and gentlemen in India eat no meat, because jtheir re ligion forbids it. They drink ho alcohol. .:, ', A handful of Englishmen, thousands of miles away, eat plenty of meat, , and drink- plenty of alcohol.. But they boss and tax, with a force of only 100,000 British in India. It took the earth millions of years to produce fertile soil, assisted by earthworms. The cow needs two or three years to Droduce a beefsteak from crass. Man in half an . hour manufactures brains from the beefsteak. Time is money, ergo, meat is money. Lila Damita. beautiful lady, coming from France bound for Hollywoo,d, says: "American men are infants, They want to play, to dance, to act childish. 1 hey do not inter est me.

WESTERN PACIFIC TO ENTER OREGON BY 31-MILE LINK (AtsoHatnl l'rt-ss liCusml Wirt') SAN FB.ANCISCO, Calif., May 16. The "missing link" to give the Western Pacific railroud an entry into Oregon and the Great North ern railroad a terminal connection with San Francisco is 31 miles of new line connecting Westwood, UiKKeu county, with Crescent Mills in Plumas county. This became evident when the state railroad commission heard from officials of the Hedwood Lumber company who propose to build the line in order to obtain better shipping facilities. The new line prbposed would be know nas the Northern California railroad and would provide a link Indirect ly connecting the Western Pacific and the Great Northern. Opposition from the Southern Pa cific company became evident at the hearing late yesterday, when officials testified the proposed road would endanger their $1,000, 000 investment In the Femly-Las-sen line. This was also admitted by Willis Walker president ot the Northern California and vice-president of the Redwood Lumber com pany, who said the road would de tract from Southern Pacific . busi ness of existing stage lines.

"Not only is the election expected to re- milt In a record vote, but political forecasters are. completely at loss to prophesy the outcome ot the contests, particularly those in which candidates ' fur county . ot fices are involved.

The factional aspect of the pri mary election has been very up parent from the start aud has re suited in hard-rought political campaigns, particularly as far as tnese two offices are concerned. 1 Practically every county orflce Is in contest on the republican, ticket.

The fact that these districts are now connected by good roads, fclth practically all of the residents owning automobiles, so thai trans portation is no longrr a problem, the court at the first of the year ordered1 the Consolidation of nine of the precincts, so that there will be fewer elncllon boards required, and the cost per vote? of holding the election will be reduced. The precinct changes are as fol lows: ML Scott consolidated with Kast l'mpqua; . Millwood with Coles Valley, Happy Valley with Green; Drew and Perdue with Til ler, Nichols with Kiddle, Klkhead with Applegate, Soldiers Homo with West Itoseburg, Leon a with Comstock.
