new table sets of oilclOth with their

than the stenciled pieces and many
women use them for the dinner as
well as the breakfast table. These
sets consist of centerpiece, plate
doilies and smaller douies. The fruits
and flowers in the set pictured are
In their natural colors and the oil

In Saturdays issue of the Times

under Fargo date saying that several
North Dakota people among 400 9TH
er heirs were entitled to share in a
$500, 100000 estate in Ohio and Penn
sylvania, left by the late Colonel Jacob
Baker. Among the persons MENTION
ed as a beneficiary in this immense
estate is Mrs. Edwin Jacobson, for
merly of this city, and the wife of
Edwin jacobson, who was a former
employee of the Times-Record and
who is now on farm near Velva. The
land originally given to Col. Baker
fer services in the Revolutionary and
1912 wars, grew immensely valuable
when the town Of Chillcothe was To-
Gated on the 5000 acre tract in Ohio.
and Philadelphia expanded over 600
acres of the grant. A long time lease
has expired and heirs are endeavoring
to sell the land. The many friends
of the Jacobsons hope that they will
soon bet big slice of that huge for

Harold Coop, son of Mr.. and Mrs.
Walter Coop ofthis city, is another
Valley City boy who is making good IN
athletics in school circles. Harold
was a graduate of the local High
School about 1916, and it was here
that he first attracted attention as a
basketball and football artist, playing
remarkably good games of both. He
also played on the Grand Forks Uni
versity team in 1917, one of the best
teams turned out by the University up
to that time. When he played on the
local High School team, the team was
for the first time in history runner up
in the state tournament, playing in the
final game but being defeated by MI
not. He is now playing with the Uni
yersity of California team at Berkely,
California, and is attracting press
comment all over that state. In
game with the Oregon Aggies at
Berkely, CAL, the press of that city
saws: "As we had predicted last night
Coop, the Bruin forward, was the star
of the contest. Coop proved a sur
prise to the average spectator by
dropping in nine consecutive Tree
throws out of eleven attempts. This
is the best performance turned out by

1921 AUTO BLANKS
RECEIVED IN Y. c.

Chief Of Police Swanson informs the
Times Record today that he has re-
ceived supply Of auto registration
blanks, which can be secured by call
ing at the police station, under the
City Hall. Registration fee blanks
stating the amount that must be paid
on each make of car have also been re-
ceived, and all information concerning
these will be gladly given out. The
blanks are somewhat belated, due to a
tardy printer, but are now ready for
distribution.
Schedules for 1921 are based upon
horsepower, weight and the retail
price at the factory. For this reason
the schedules represent a complex
computation. For cars which have
been licensed before the determining
factor is the number of times the car
has been registered. Owners of cars
therefore, should be careful to ascer-
tain the exact fee from the column
Gus tables, covering several printed
pages.

OUR RIVAISARE
T0PLAY HERE

Wednesday, evening two fast games
will be played in the high school gym
nasium. One between the Jamestown
five and the Valley City first team,
the other between the Sanborn aggre-
cation and Mr.: Scarlett's fifty-fourth
squad.
Both of these games promise to be
fast, furious, and exciting. James
town defeated Valley City earlier in
the season and the Valley City boys
have been waiting for a chance to re-
instate themselves. The weaknesses
brought to light in the Bismarck game
are being carefully remedied. A de-
cided change in the lineup will be
made by that time.
The boys are at least getting on to
the new style of basketball, coached
by Mr.. Fagin, and they say that once
they get it, there isn't team in the
state that will have a chance against
them.
The dashing, smashing ffty-fourth
squad, will have hard game to play
when they meet the Sanborn basket
tossers. Their game will be played
as preliminary to the Jamestown
Valley City game.
The band has again consented to he
present. The seating arrangements
have been reorganized, thus increas-
ing the capacity Of the gym by about
two hundred. The first game starts at
7:15 sharp.
