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.

OREGON, 111., Dec. 30. (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."
