The Valley City High School foot
ball team is playing the jamestown
High School eleven this afternoon on
the local grounds. High school foot
ball dope is being upset the past few
days. Lisbon, whom the locals are
scheduled to play at Lisbon next Sat-
urday and who were considered one of
the strongest teams in this district,
was defeated by Cakes Thursday on
the Cakes field by 25 to 6 score.
Lisbon had defeated Moorhead Nor
NAL in the early part of the season
while the locals had defeated Cakes
q to in the first game of the sea-
son. The local boys felt that Lisbon
would be one of the hardest teams
which they would meet but the dope
now would seem to show Lisbon a
great deal weaker than expected
jamestown arrived on No. this after
noon all ready to give the locals one
of the hardest battles of the season
and feeling that their defeat by Car
rington last week was a fluke. If
they can defeat the locals this after
noon their standing in High Sehoos
football circles would receive quite a
boost but the locals feel that, while
they are up against strong team.
they can handle them easily and wiz
come out of the game with the long
end of the score.a

A notice was inserted in the Times
Record yesterday by one Jack McDon-
aid, who lives east of Rogers, saying
that he would not be responsible for
any debts contracted by his wife. The
address of this man was not put on
the advertisement and the consequence
is that Lieut. Jack Mcdonald has been
confused with this one at Rogers. We
desire to say that the advertisement
in no way concerns our Lieut.. Jack
Mcdonald, who is living peacefully
and happily with his wife on the farm
five miles from town. We make this
explanation because it is embarrassing
to our local citizen, several and var
ious people thinking that it was he in
stead Of the Rogers chap. The situa-
ton is an embarrassing one which we
regret and so we gladly make this
statement to set things right.

today to ask if river water had been

the pure water from the city well be-
