STAMFORD GONSTABLES RAID GAMBLING GAME
 AT EAGLES FIELD DAY
Theodore White Fined $25 and Costs 70. T. Phoenix Fined s1O ana Costs-WiIbur Hatl<fns For

Special to The Farrner.)

Stratford: July 23-Just as money was being raked in hand over fist by the proprfetors of a cigar c1oth'' gam bling game outside the "Aerodrome'' where the big Eagles field day was held yesterday afternoon. a party of Stratford constables swooped down upon the game, arrested the fellow who was running it as we'll as one of his "cappers'' and conhscated all the gambling apparatus.
 Theodore White of Boston was run ming the game and he was assisted in relieving the rubes and easy marks of their hard earned money by C. T. Phoenix of 1213 East Main street, Bridgeport, a well known former cir GUS man. and two other ''cappers'' who succeeded in escaping into the crowd when the game was raided.
 The game was as crooked as the pro- verbal cork-screw and considering that 1t was in operation for several hours before it was raided. the pro- prietors must have cleaned up several hundred dollars as a result of their afternoons work.
 The idea was to bet on certain number, betting 25 cents or 50 cents each time. The proprietor would then sweep down with a stroke of a. stick ten wooden pins with flat sides upon which were six numbers, one number on each of the ogtagonica1 shaped sides Of the pms II. the VAS1ofS nun bers totaled up to a number cores bonding to a red number painted on the cloth, the player won; if the num- bers totaled up to number cor responding to a black number painted on the cloth, the proprietor or one of his tcappers' won. The game ap- peared to be open and above board until one tried to play it and then one was very quickly disillusioned.
 The constables who participated in the raid on the game were William B. Bassett, George Wood. Fred Palm CT, James McJuil1an and James Lal- ley.
 Wilbur Hatkins of Brooklyn. N. T., was arrested for conducting a dice game inside the "Aerodrome.'' z He gave bonds of $10 to appear in the

PRIEST RELEASED FROM vows
Orders Conferred Against His Will
 Held To Be Invalid

Rome, July 23-The Congregation ot the Sacraments rendered a decision yesterday in a case, which has lasted for four years and which has been very much discussed in ecclesiastical circles. Twelve years ago a priest named Arena asked to be allowed to give up the priesthood. He plead ed that twelve years ago he had been compelled by his parents to take holy orders. He alleged that he obeyed his parents against his will and this was confirmed by several witnesses.
 The Congregation os the Sac=axsents. which was presided over by Cardinal Ferrata, decided to cancel the priest's orders. It held that they had been conferred against his will and were therefore invalid. It recommended +bat Arena be released from his vows.
 The Pope approved the verdict.

A. & M. FOOTBALL TEAM NEEDS
HELP.

The football team of the A. and NJ.
College, this year, more than all 9TH
ers, needs the assistance and the
hearty cooperation Of the people Of
Bryan. The Eagle believes that call
ing their attention to this fact is all
that will be necessary. They have al
ways stood Loyalty by A. and NJ, her
football team and all other athletics,
and we know they will do so again
when reminded OF the fact that their
help is necessary.
A. and Ms football team. champions
Of the Southwest, was sadly broken by
the strike Of last spring and the war
riors were scattered never to be
brought back together again. AS re-
suit they are beginning the season
with only two old men. The new men
are game fighters, however, and will
again carry the RED and White" to
victory If given the proper encour-
agement. 1t is up to the people of
Bryan to give them that encourage
ment. First in a financial way and
next with their presence at the games.
The Eagle would offer as a sugges-
ton that each business house pur-
chase season tickets in advance, say
from three to half dozen. for each
house. This course would give
the team cash for their immediate
needs, and also assure them that the
necessary financial aid would be forth
coming. The tickets are transferable
and by having them on hand they
would serve as reminders of coming
games and the proprietors could ar.
range to let certain number of EN-.
ployes off for each game. This would
insure good attendance for each con-
test, one of the greatest inspirations
that could possible be given the play.

Let us, the people of Bryan, come
to the rescue of old A. and NJ, stand
by her athletic association, and root
her football team over the goal line of
victory.

FARMER AND HIS INCOME.

The high price of food products is
causing a great deal OF talk concern
ing the possibilities OF money making
on the farm. We are told that farm
life no longer presents the drudges Of
the old days, but that the modern ag-
riculturists live in comfort and afflu-
ence. In proof OF this fact. our atten-
ton is called to the motor truck with
which the sons of the soil bring their
products to market, and the automo-
biles which they use for purposes OF
pleasure.
There is a modicum OF truth in all
of this, but the successful farmer OF
the past, has to work hard and syste-
matically II he hopes to make any
considerable amount OF money. The
department OF agriculture at Washing
ton reports that after the interest on
an average mortgage OF $1715 is paid
and the farm expenses are subtracted
from the income from farm products,
the average American farmer has
$537.50 at the end Of the year. At
first blush this looks rather small, but
it must be remembered that the farm
err gets most Of his living direct from
the soil and that practically none Of
this income has to be spent on the Ia
BILE. so that the chances are that he is
able to put more Of this income in
the bank for rainy day than the man

Latest Addition to City's Water

Before the end of the week, II is
expected that the huge bulkhcad, or
pier, which is being constructed at the
entrance 10 the locks ut the City DOCK,
will be completed and turned over to
the city. The contract calls for solid
line of piles 100 feet in length. with

ming at a right angle. Behind this
will be pumped mud to make the in
terror level with the top of the piling.
Immediately upon the acceptance of
the bulkhead by the city. the city
dredge FULTON" will begin to pump
mud from tho old Trigg slip at the
south of the dock. In this manner two
birds will be killed with one stone;
the pier will be completed at practical
ly no cost, and the slip channel will
be cleaned of several years accummu-
lation of debris
Tho bulkhead, when fully completed.
will be twenty-five feet in width, and
will be as solid as human ingenuity
can make it. The piles have been
rammed to rock bottom, and on tho
outside OF these. completely filling

inch planks. Between this and tho inner
wall of the slip will be pumped the
mud. which will settle and form an
embankmcnt which will stand for
years.
On it's completion the pier Will be
used by vessels and barges waiting to
be locked into the dock. They can tic

avoid the present risk Of laying out In

crews will have greater facilities for
