William Creamer, Former Platts
month Boy, Now Living at San
Jose, Wins in State Meet
From Tuesday's Daily
William Creamer, born and reared
in his early days in this city, where
he was for some time a carrier on
the Evening Journal, is now the jun
ior bicycle champion of the state of
California, winning the first place
in the junior event from a field of
some fifteen racers.
The young man is just within the
junior limit of fifteen and was enter
ed in the races as he had previously
made a great showing in the ama
tuer races in San Jose and the near
by towns. In the finals in the state
race, Bill, as he is better known to
the young friends, was an easy win
ner and lacked but two points of a
perfect score.
Mr. Creamer, with the winner of
the senior amatuer racing events, will
be sent to the national cycling tour
ament at Kenosha, Wisconsin, to be
held on September Sth and 9th and
where the two California youths may
be expected to show a real battle to
the other contenders from the dif
ferent states.
This young man is a son of Mr.
and Mrs. Charles L. Creamer and hag
for the past five years made his home
at San Jose where his mother, Mrs.
May N. Creamer is now located with
several of the children. He is a bro
ther of Mrs. Aubrey H. Duxbury of
this city and when enroute to the
great national meet or on his return
will stop here for a brief visit with
the old time school friends and as
sociates. The pictures of the young cycilist
appearing in the San Jose News
shows that he is a big and husky
youngster and a real athlete.

West Branch, la., Aug. 22 Speak
ing under a "big top" for the first
time, Herbert Hoover Tuesday night
pledged the farmers of the country
that, if elected president, he would
call upon the leaders of agricultural
thought to join in the search for
common ground upon which to act
in solving what he regards as great
est economic problem in America.
Here, where he was born a black
smith's son and got a taste of the
gruelling work of the fields on his
Uncle Allan's farm, the republican
candidate specifically named as one
of those whose counsel he would
seek his chief opponent in the strug
gle for the presidential nomination,
former Governor Frank O. Lowden of
Illinois.
Thousands of Iowans and former
Iowans who came from almost every
section of the country to Join in the
homecoming celebration for "Bert"
Hoover, cheered him frequently and
lustily as he delivered the second
prepared address of his campaign in
which he expanded upon the farm aid
proposals in his acceptance speech
10 days ago.
No Tariff Talk.
Hoover omitted reference to the
first proposition increased tariffs on
farm products saving that for an
address Wednesday to farm leaders
and editors at Cedar Rapids, but he
elaborated upon federal financial aid
to farmer-owned corporations to dis
pose of crop surpluses and develop
ment of owaterway outlets from the
midwest to the Gulf of Mexico and
the Atlantic coast.
Both of the big tents, erected
against the possibility of rainy
weather, were filled to overflowing,
the loud speakers carrying the mes
sage to the overflow outside, men
and women who stood or sat upon
the hillside amid the beauties of a
setting sun. A vast radio hookup
also sent the words of the candidate
into almost every section of the coun
try. Hoover's speech rounded out a day
that will be marked for all time in
West Branch history, a day he spent
among boyhood friends, or visiting
familiar scenes and breakfasting in
the humble cottage that was his
place of birth.
Sea of Faces.
All these things and the inspira
tion that he gathers from them was
touched upon by the nominee in the
opening of his address, an address de
livered from a raised platform,, un
der the glare of a score of huge elec
tric lights and in front of a literal
sea of expectant faces, Omaha Bee-News

Five Districts Are Created by the
Council and Bids Will Be Re

There are about 70 primary mar
kets in the United States, which con
sume upwards of 92 per cent of the
tree and vine crops.
The state of Washington leads in
the production of apples, Arizona
crowds California in yield of lettuce,
Florida leads in grapefruit. North
Carolina in strawberries. New York
i in cabbage, Indiana in onions, Maine
in white potatoes and Virginia in
sweet potatoes, California in grapes.
The necessity for a well-ordered
system of railroad transportation for
the successful marketing of these
products is at once apparent when it
is realized that much of this traffic
moves under refrigeration, all of it
requires expedient service, and in
scope it embraces the producers, con
sumers and markets of a continent.
In 1927 about 43 per cent of Cali
fornia's fruit and vegetables required
a haul of 3,000 miles to the 6 dif-,
ferent markets in which they were
sold; about 60 per cent of Wash
ington's went to 65 different markets
with a haul of 2500 miles. j
Arizona's cantaloupe and lettuce.
sold in more than 60 different mar
kets with a haul exceeding 2,000
miles. Over 82 per cent of Florida's
products, 73 per cent of Idaho's, 61
per cent of Colorado's and 58 per
cent of Texas required a market haul
of from 1,000 to 3,000 miles.
A high quality of transportation
service is evidenced when after a
haul of from 1,000 to 3,000 miles,
cantaloupe, lettuce and such perish
able products are placed on the tables
of New York in as good condition
as when taken from the vine and
field.
From Tuesday's Iaily
The city council last evening held
a special session which was called for
the purpose of passing on the paving
projects for the present year, which
have for the past several weeks been
pending and which covers a program
of some $28,000 for the street im
provements in the various districts.
There were five districts and in
none of these were written protests
filed altho personal opposition in the
Granite street district was offered by
several of the property owners.
In all of the districts except the
North 5th street district the pav
ing had been created on the peti
tion of the property owners them
selves, sixty per cent in each district
signing the petitions for the paving
and which made it necessary for the
council to take the steps to create
the districts according to law. In
the North Fifth street district the
council created the district and car
ried on the proceedings according to
law as this district was one where
the paving will save a great deal in
the street department in preventing
mud from being washed down onto
the paved streets in the business
part of the city.
All of the ordinances covering the
districts were read and passed by
the council by a unanimous vote.
Paving district No. 52 covers
North 5th street from Vine to Elm
street and at an estimated cost of
$4,471.05.
Paving district No. 53 covers South
Eighth street from Chicago avenue
to Rock street and at an estimated
cost of $2,485.63.
. Paving district No. 54 Is that of
Marble street from 9th street to 12th
street and the cost of this estimated
at $9,411.55
Paving district No. 55 is that of
Diamond street and Pershing avenue
from the present paving on South
9th street to Patterson avenue and
the cost estimated at $7,045.25.
Paving district No. 56 is Granite
street from 3rd street west to 6th
street and the cost is estimated at
$6,816.00.
In district No. 56 Miss Minnie
Guthmann, representing her fam
ilies interest in property in the dis
trict offered objection that the prop
erty was not worth the cost of the
additional taxes and that they would
not care to pay the tax necessary
to retain the property if the paving
was carried. Mark Smith also op
posed the paving on the ground that
his property would not be able to
stand the cost of the necessary tax.
After the passing of the ordinances
the estimates and plans and specifica
tions of the engineers were adopted
an dthe date set for receiving and
opening the bids and letting the con
tract for the work as Monday, Sep
tember 10th, the first regular coun
cil meeting in September.
While not covered by the call of
the meeting Mayor Sattler stated
that he had received complaints of
slot machines that were operated
here for the past few weeks and
which he had ordered to cease busi
ness and the council informally ap
proved this action.
