WATCHES AS GIFTS


For the birthday, the anniVer-
sary, or Christmas, a watch is
an ideal gift. The business man
and woman, the college student,
even the school boy or girl needs
a watch. How often you hear
one say: I'm proud of that
watch. My mother gave it to me
for Christmas present 25 years
ago."
And then, punctuality is one of
the eminentIy desirable virtues,
and a good watch helps to Guilt
Vate punctuaiity.
We'd like very much to show
you ours. The stock is splendid,
of wide variety, and there's moth
ing doubtful in what we recon-
mend. Well reserve your seIcc-
ton if you say. Come in to-
night.

BEST EVER PUT ON
Premier Iowa WeIterweight Box
ing Contest That at Dav-
export Thursday.
GARDNER AND D0UGHERTY
Recently Fought a Draw and Both
Have Much at Stake in
Contest.

Probably the greatest welterweight
boxing contest ever held in Iowa is
that billed for Davenport next Thurs
day. when Jimmy Gardner of Lowell,
Mass. and Jack Dougherty of Milwau-
kCc, meet in their 15round bout at the
Burtis under the management of the
Tri-City Athletic club.
These two men fought a draw less
than year ago. Ever since that time
il has been the desire of the boxing
fans all over the country to see thcm
matched for another go. Various clubs
made this attempt. but it remained for
the Tri-Cfty Athletic club TO bring the
two fellows together again.
In this bout. the boxing fans of the
tri-cities and surrounding country are
promised one of the best and most
exciting bouts ever witnessed here.
1t will. without question. be an event
worth going hundreds of miles to see
and should fill the Burtis to overflow
ing on the night of the contest.
Gardner is recognized by many as
the champion welterwcight of the
country. He has met and defeated the
majority of the best weltcrs. NOtwith-
standing this fact. however, he realizes
that in meeting Dougherty he will have
one of the hardest fights of his life on
his hands and is training faithfully for
the event. He fought Dougherty Il
draw on March - at the welterweight
limit of 1i2 pounds. Ii was rather
difficult for DoughCrty to make this
weight and he was handicapped some
thereby But in the forthcoming bat
tie. Dougherty insisted upon catch
weights and gained his point. This
will allow DOugherty to enter the ring
at his best weight around l4S pounds,
and at this weight his friends and
hackers feel confident he can defeat
Gardner.

The meeting of the Springdale Berry Growers Association Sat urday was well attended. C. J. Chapman made d report of the annual meeting of the 0. F. c.

 The inspection, grading, pick ing and packing of berries should be looked after very closely, as a few green, over-r1pe or soft ber- ries will lower the price on a crate, and a few crates will spoil whole car. It seems strange that after all berries have been thoroughly examined and the grades stamped upon the crate that when they get to market some of them are muddy, trashy, dirty and often half of them spoiled. \ Topeka firm bought a car of berries supposed to be all No. stock, but found that they were marked A and B. A repre- sentative of the 0. r. C. A. was present when the car was receiv- ed. They decided that those marked B were far better berries when they reached the market than the As. These were loaded with the AS in one end of the car and the B's i'll the other end. Was the grading of this car ben ticial or detrimental to the ASso- citation? 1.-the berries are picked and packed as they should be there would be no need of d grade except a standard. When they are properly packed at the differ ent sheds, the cars we'll iced and run through on schedule time the berries are bound to arrive in the markets all o. K. Retail mer- chants soon learn who put up good berries and who do not. Those that put up the best are hunted for and sold at once for good price. Put up good berries, stamp your name on your crates and receive a fair price for your crop.
 Arkansas average during 1905 was S1.07 per crate. Missouri's average was o1.o6z5. Some few associations that do not hold stock i'll the 0. r. G. A. realized higher average. Peirce City, S1. A; Buttertield, o1.29; one in Monett S1.24 and Neosho S1 .21. These associations have d select class of growers and the plants receive better cultivation, there fore they grow and sell all fancy stuff. If the berry growers of N. w. Arkansas were to give as much of our time to the cultiva- tion of berry plants as do these people of the above named associ- ations we too would realize better results from our crops.

DEATH OF ANDREW J. L0UckS
A Pioneer and Well Known Citi-
zen Of Eureka County Is Laid
to Final Rest

In the death Of Andrew jackson
Loucks at his home at the DEVILS Gate
ranch on Friday. October 10, 1905. Of
kidney complications. another old timer
has joined the great majority.
While it was known that Mr.. Loucks
was moi in good health the past few
months, and did not make his custom
airy weekly visits into Eureka with
his ranch products, his death was un-
expected by his friends, who thong t
that his advancing & and the all
ments that follow had necessitated his
giving up this active work, in which he
had been engaged for years.
He was a plain. unassuming man,
and in his business dealings with his
customers and patrons was always
painstaking and accommodating. and
many will miss his weekly visits into
Eureka. He often showed a kindness
of heart by gifts of some Of his pro-
ducts to his old Eureka friends less
fortunate than himself.
During the White Pine excitement in
1859 the deceased was among those who
went to Hamilton, remaining about two
years. In 1871 he came to Eureka
County and shortly after took mp his
home place at DEVILS Gate. eight miles
west of Eureka, where he has lived
with his family and conducted a stock
and dairy ranch the succeeding years.
Besides his wife. he is survived by a
son, Frank A. Loucks. and a daughter,
Mrs. Alfred Pedlar.
He was a native of Montgomery
County, New York. and 70 years of age.
The funeral was held from the Episco-
pal Church in Eureka last Sunday after
noon at 3 O'Clock. Mr.. John Pardy offici-
ating. A large number of friends and
neishbors followed the remains to the
Masonic cemetery. where they were
laid to rest.
