Wednesday, D mber 80 l!)25 EVENING HERALD, KLAMATH FATJ.R, OREGON Klamath Fans Evenly Divided On Outcome Of Fight Between Farmer And Keeler Friday Eve Idaho Heavyweight's Stock Takes Rise as His Training Speeds up Three Great Battles With Real Slugging Predicted 1 EXPLORER SAYS HE!S BANKRUPT HIGHWAY CHANGE U'h funny how the sentiment of boxing (ana changes almost Over night, but that'll the history of the prize ring and account, perhaps, for the sudden change of sentiment toward Willie Keeler, in his 10-round battle with Frank Farmer, king-pin of Pacific coast heavy weights, at Bcandio hall Friday night. A week ago nine out of 10 local fans wouldn't give Keeler an outside chance to stand up against Farmer for 10 rounds, but today what little silver is being wagered on the outcome of the battle finds the Idaho heavy weight an even-money favorite with plenty of backers. Keeler during the past two days has been speeding up in his training and showing the fans a few tricks they never thought he knew. Farmer, as always, is plodding along in a methodical manner making sure that he is in good condition and overlooking no bets in the way of perfecting himself for the fray. Farmer today said he is fit for 10 fast rounds, so he will taper off in his training tomorrow and await the gong Friday night. He will weigh about 180 pounds, which is his best fight ing weight.

(AP) Agriculture finds it self with its millions of members freely competing among themselves while it is obliged to sell its products in a highly organized industrial and commercial world. Frank O. Lowden, former governor of Illinois and him self a dirt farmer, declared in a statement today. He was elaborating a recent statement, in which he said: "We are beginning to question the orthodox views of the so-called law of supply and demand. We must listen to the newest economists, take the findings of scien tists and use them." Expounding this statement today he explained: It cannot too ,ofteu be slatcil Ihat the supply of any commodity which affects the price I not the existence, but only that portion of entire slock of the commodity In It which Is offered for sale at a given price. "No one. I ihink, who has observ ed the course of events, in the last few years will deny that agriculture is sadly out of gear with the other pnrta of the industrial structure. I. for one, do not believe il can re gain its rightful place, in this high ly organized world except through organization Itself. Organization is a most powerful factor In human progress. "Agriculture has emerged from its primitive state. In all otner fields of commerce, unrestricted, free and open competition in the marketing of products has been generally disap pearing. In practice in every other industry the producer In the first Instance makes the price at which ho will sell his product. Ho usually arrives at this price by computing the cost of production and adds what ho considers a reasonable prof It. In the marketing of farm pro ducts alone has the producers been j content with the methods of a cen I tury ago. I "The problems which press hard est upon the farmer today are con corned with tho marketing of h'.i product at prices which will en able him to live and go on produc ing. "Wherever cooperatives havo been employed, there you will find agri culture in Its best state. "There are powerful interests which oppose this movement. Thoy are aggressive, for they think th;y seo large profits disappearing if the farmers organise nnd put their busi ness upon a modern business basis. Their number is small compared with the great army engaged in the production, distribution nnd mo.' chandl.sing of commodities. With a zeal, however, which self Interest always Inspires, they nro likely to impose their views upon chambers of commerce, and other llko or ganizations. Even though the great majority of these bodies have a feel ing Hint agriculture must organize to fit into the modern business world, they are likely to yield io the Insistent and vocal minority which feels that Its own interest is jeopardized. "These organisations could give n mighty Impetus to the movement If they would."
