KEYSTONE SMOKER.

card in the way of a boxing contest
that has ever been pulled off in Denver
by colored promoters, took place at

under the auspices of the Keystone
club. "SiI' Stewart, who promoted
and financed the event, is being warm
Iy congratulated for his astute manip-
ulation of the affair, which proved a
big success. The program opened
with a five-round schedule between

of Kansas City The bout ended in
the first round with a knockout in
Scotty's favor The next was the bat
tie royal which furnished no httle
amount of fun and when the mill was
over Knockout" Brown had the ring
TO himself and was decided the winner.
The main bout between Jesse Scout
of Missouri and Bob" Watkins OF Den
yer followed next, and while both men
had large following, none were sur
prised at the outcome, which ended III
the seventh round with Watkins the
victor. There is no one in the puglils-
tic circle who has a better knowledge
of the fight game than Bob and TINS
fact. coupled with his wicked punch
was sufficient to make the result what
it was.

INTEREST ON PAID LOANS

The United States Department of
Agriculture has been gathering sta
tistics on the interest paid by farm
ers on loans in different parts of
the country. According to their re-
port, the average rate of interest paid
by farmers in the New England
states is 500 per cent. In the At
lantic Coast states, 1886 per cent. In
the north central states east of the
Mississippi river, 6.38 per cent. In
the north central states west of the
Mississippi river, sos per cent. In
these latters states, the rates run as
follows: Minnesota, 1893 per cent;
Iowa, 7.21 per cent; Missouri, 1928
per cent; North Dakota, 10.7 per
per cent; South Dakota, 9.48 per
cent; Nebraska, per cent; Kansas,
S.37 per cent. In the south central
states the rate averages 9.51 per
cent, and in the far western states,
S.55 per cent.
The statistics were gathered by adj
dressing 5000 letters to country banks
in all parts of the country. About
80 per cent of the banks replied
Among the reasons given for charg-
ing slightly higher rate OF interest
to the farmer than the business man
are, that the farmer requires a loan
for longer length of time than the
business man, and that large num-
Der of farm borrowers are renters
whose financial condition does not
warrant a very large extension Of
credit. In the northwestern states
and in the states west of the Missouri
river, the banks pay on deposits
from to per cent interest.
The rate of interest quoted in the
foregoing applies to temporary loans
of three to six months. 1t does not
apply to farm mortgages on which
the rate is considerably lower in all
the states mentioned.
