MADE RAID ON GAMBLERS
Just at Eleven o'clock A. M. Sunday
an Even Dozen Were Captured
Shooting the Festive Craps.

Just at II o'clock Sunday morning
as the people of this great little city
were settling comfortably in their
places at the various churches, Sheriff
Conlee and Constable Baker, the Wig.
liant guardians Of the law, were on
quite a different mission bent. In
some mysterious way, known only to
officers of long and careful work in
such matters, they got wind of a crap
game that was in full swing in a GER
tain negro's house.
Knowing that pickets are always
posted at both front and back en-
frances when games are in progress.
the officers Unanswered until coming
as close as possible to the house with
out being discovered, they made a
Idouble-quick charge. Mr.. Conlee to the
front and Mr.. Baker to the rear.
As they rushed up the alarm was
given and pandemonum broke loose.
One negro came rushing out by Sher-
if Conlee, but gave no heed to his
urgent invitation to stop. He grabbed
him and in the scuffle the negro's coat
was torn off and again the thoroughly
scared darkey broke, but the sheriff
was too quick for him and gave him
a swipe across the head with his pistol
that brought him TO his knees and per-
suaded him 10 surrender. In the mean
time Constable Baker covered the
back door and windows where gen.
eral stampede was attempted, but only
one succeeded in getting away When
the officers entered the house there
were negroes hid in every conceivable
place, so many being under the bed
1t was absolutely lifted clear off the
floor.
An even dozen were rounded up and
jagged with charges of gambling pre-
ferred against them. All but three or
four of them pleaded guilty Monday
morning and paid their fines.

IMPORTANT SCHOOL
BOARD MEETING
Miss Wilson Resigns-Prof. Oxley
Placed in Charge of Laboratory
Work in Physics in connec-
ton with Mathematics.

The city school board met in called
session Thursday afternoon at 5
o'clock.
A communication from Miss Wilson
was read. She thanked the trustees
for the uniform courtesy and cordial
support given her while in the schools
and assured them that she would ever
cherish pleasant memories of the time
spent in the Bryan schools. She de-
clined the position for next year, and,
to the regret of all concerned, will leave
Bryan and Bryan schools at the close
of the present term. Miss Wilson has
been in the Bryan schools two years,
and is popular and efficient.
Superintendent Lawson and the
board then took up the question of
certain advanced movements which
have been under consideration for
some time, and the man who could
meet the requirements for the combi-
nation of work needed 1t was decided
to put in laboratory work in physics,
as recommended by the superintend-
ent, to combine this department with
that of mathematics, and to get man
of high qualifications and experience
for the new combination. A man with
a degree from a great university and
with advanced special training was
needed. No applicant met the require
ments, so Superintendent Lawson Sc
lected a man who was not an appli-
cant "A man who was holding a job,
not hunting job" he said, and asked
permission to present, his name. That
permission was granted; he was elect
ed, and has assured Superintendent
Lawson that he will be here.
The man elected is Prof. C. E. OXley,
a graduate of a great university, and
busy on summer courses in science
and in education working for an ad-
vanced university degree, in addition
to the one he now holds. He is a
pleasant, courteous gentleman, one
whose work has already been approved
by the professional experts who pass
Judgment on these departments and
Superintendent Lawson is proud Of Sc
curing for Bryan one of the strongest
teachers any Texas school will have
the coming year. The oncoming re.
quirement that the department heads
in all first-class high schools should
have degrees from high-grade institu-
lions is recognized in his selection.
Superintendent Lawson knows Prof,
Oxley well and was charmed with his
easy, graceful manner and scholarly
attachments. They were together in
the Ohio State University last summer,
each taking high-grade university
work Prof. Oxley was called to the
Coshocton (Ohio) high school on &C.
count of his eminent attachments in
science, and is now finishing up his
years work.
As to relations other than the strict.
ly professional, it may be of interest
to note that Prof. Oxley is a member
Of the Baptist church, is married, and
! that his wife is a charming little lady
who will be a welcome addition to
Bryan social circles.

An Eagle reporter asked him
through an interpreter how he felt
while buried alive. He replied that
he almost lost consciousness and could
scarcely breathe or swallow. He said
when the first air struck him and the
hope of life came back to him, he

A collection was taken among the
crowd present for the mans benefit
and a nice sum was raised.

POSSIBILITIES OF THE PEANUT
Healthful, Nutritious and Reduces the
Cost of Living-Also I'M
proves the Soil.

"Despise not the insignificant pea
nut" is the advice of c. NJ. Evans,
superintendent of the extension de-
partment of A. 4 NJ. college.
While agriculturists are preaching
the growing of peanuts as a proper
crop to improve the soil, Mr.. Evans
goes one better and says that the pea
nut is a household delicacy which will
reduce the cost of living and will pro-
vide the protein necessary to sustain
life, build muscular tissues and cause
red blood corpuscles to increase in the
human being. Protein is the main nu-
TRENT of lean meat. Peanuts contain
protein and therefore are substitute
for meat.
Mr.. Evans says that peanuts also
contain large amount of fat and for
this reason are acceptable. Plain
roasted peanuts are always a healthy,
well relished article OF food for chill
dren between meals. These may be
prepared by roasting in any ordinary
oven with the hulls on them. If sailed
peanuts are preferred they can be pre-
pared by Smelling the fresh roasted
nuts, ana while they are hot sprinkling
with enough melted butter to cause
powdered salt to stick to them. For
any purpose that nuts are required
peanuts are always available. They
require less work in hulling and they
keep better than pecans or walnuts,
or other nuts, which become rancid in
hot weather. All kinds Of candies may
be made with peanuts and nut cookies.
The most common use of the peanut
in the kitchen today is the making OF
peanut butter 1t is prepared with
fresh roasted peanuts ground in an
ordinary grinder and seasoned TO suit
the taste. It is rich in protein and fat
and does not replace butter, but will
replace meat or cheese. For the gar
den either variety may be used. The
large. long is easier hulled 1t has
large peas and from three to five peas
in each shell. The Spanish peanut has
but two peas in the shell and they
are quite small, but it far excels the
| large nut in flavor and the product is
enough better in quality to justify the
added work in shelling the small nuts.
Peanuts should be planted in rows
three feet apart, twelve to sixteen
inches apart in the drill, They should
be planted as soon as the ground be-
comes thoroughly warm in the spring
If the land is well drained level cult
walton is better than hills. The nuts
need not be shelled before planting
Ordinary shallow cultivation is all
that is required. The nuts can be
harvested as soon as all of them are
ripe.
Now is the time to plant peanuts,
and every family can have its own sup
ply. They are good in the home and
they will produce the same result that
Is wanted when meat is eaten.

PROF. EVANS TALKS Of
DOMESTIC ECONOMY
Shows How the Housewife Can Re-
duce Cost of Living by Produc-
ing Foods at Home.

That the average housewife, with
the place, can reduce the cost of liv-
ing by careful selection of nutritious
foods that may be produced at home,
is the opinion of C. NJ. Evans, super
lintendent of the college extension de-
partment of A. & NJ. college.
"A great deal has been said about
the increased cost of living" said Mr.,
Evans. statistics show that in 1909
we had to pay 1912 for food neces-
stiles that would have cost us S5.42
in 1896. During these thirteen years
wheat enhanced in value "a per cent,
corn 113 per cent, potatoes, sheep and
swine 100 per cent, while pork went
up 30 per cent. The average income
of the family has not increased in
proportion to this increased cost Of
living. Statistics show that the aver
age income for a family of five is $3.50
per year. This means that great
majority OF families have a less in
come than $780, in fact, many will
range from $500 to $3.50 Increased
wages have not helped the matter he.
cause a great deal of foodstuff used
is the finished product OF factories,
and as soon as wages are raised the
factories must increase the prices Of
their products to pay these wages.
The burden of the increased cost,
OF living has fallen on the average
man. He is living today almost alto.
gether on factory products. Breakfast
food is a factory product, and likewise
lis oleomargarine, condensed cream,
bacon, sausage. canned fruit, etc His
problem is largely a problem in the
selection OF fCodstuffs and must be
solved almost entirely by more
scientific understanding of food prod
ucts and nutrition by the housewife.
The problem Of the average man in
the small town or country can be
solved today to a great extent by the
kitchen garden, poultry and the dairy
COW. The equipment needed would be
small plot of ground, twelve TO
fifteen hens and one mich cow. The
hens can be fed largely On waste prod
ucts from the table. The greatest eX'
Ipense in the production Of the garden
would be the small outlay for seeds,
and if no pasture or cheap feed is
available it will cost from SIS TO SO
to feed a dairy COW. In that case it
would not be a paying proposition 10
keep the COW unles sit is large fam
lily or some of the product could be
sold
The average family is considered
fairly well fed if the menu will aver
age with the following: Bread, butter,
vegetable in season, with coffee or tea
to drink.
IF a garden, cow and chickens are
! kept at a less cost than the above, the
following may be had during the en-
tire year three times a day: Butter
sweet milk butter milk, cottage
cheese, preserved fruits, jelly, jam,
fresh or canned fruits, such as
peaches, plums, blackberries, dewber'
ries, strawberries and figs Irish po'
tatoes and sweet potatoes; beans, to-
matoes, peas, either fresh or canned;
cabbage or canned kraut; caulifower
cucumbers, beets, either fresh or
picked; onions, white beans, butter
beans, black-eyed peas prepared in va
rious ways; chicken once a week and
various dishes prepared by comb
nation of fruits, eggs, milk and butter

MONTREAL. Sept. 21.-In the
province of Quebec, the fats OF
reciprocity between the United
States and Canada will be decided
today. While the parliamentary
election is national. both sides
concede that this province is the
pivotal one.
Not in many years has any cleo
ton in Canada attracted so much
interest as that in progress today
and the vote will undoubtedly
break all records. Both sides are
confident of victory.
The campaign of the conserva-
tives and opponents of reciprocity
has been of a violently anti-Amer-

been described as the inevitable
sequel of reciprocity.
