A MONSTER FLOW.
Designed For Ten Horses, It Took Fifty
 to Move 1t.

Designed For Ten Horses, It Took Fifty to Move 1t.
 What is said to be the largest blow in the world was .ade some years ago at Bakersfield. Cal This blow was the result of the ingenuity of ranch superintendent who had authori- ty tO make improvements, but not to introduce steam blows. The superin- tendent had grown very tired of pre- pairing 5000 acres of land for wheat with ordinary nine or twelve inch blows drawn by two horses. He argued that if two horses could pull a twelve inch blow six horses could pull blow thirty-six inches wide and that eight horses could pull Il blow forty-eight inches wide. He made the calculations carefully. and. being clever with his pencil, also made drawings and sent for blacksmiths and machinists to construct blow on his principle.
 Some simple folk told him that his great blow would not work, but they contented themselves with saying this dogmatically without giving any math- ematical reason therefor. So the su- perintendent went on with his plans The blacksmiths and machinists fin ished the blow in due time. The share was made to cut fifty inch furrow. The top of it reached five feet above the ground to give room to throw the rbo n foot thick. but the machine was con structed to run between two great wheels. so that it could be turned around easily and on the axle between these wheels was the seat for the mar who was to drive the ten horses whict were hitched to it.
 The blow was brought to the great field. the ten horses were attached to it, the handles were raised. the driver mounted his seat, and the team was started. But as soon as the share struck well into the ground the horses stopped short. They were stuck fast. And yet the blow had not gone too deeply into the earth. But it was evi. dent that they could not pull the blow. More horses were brought out, but not until fifty were attached did the blow move along.
 Even then it required four men to hold the handles in order to keep the blow in the furrow. It was an eco homie failure.
 Then the superintendent, through the intervention of some one who was better mathematician than he, learn ed that he should have cubed the ca pacity of his twelve inch blow every time he doubled the width of it.-Har. per's Weekly.

MILE. MINNIE AMATO HEADS
EXCELLENT BILL AT PROCTOR'S.

Mile Minnie Amato. French. chic ana
able, heads the pantomime production
THE Slums of Paris" appearing at
Proctors this week, and deserves al
most every whit of the praise the adj
vance notices gave her. Her company
are adequate to the demands made
upon them by the action of the piece,
and give Mile. Amato capable support
in her difficult task of impersonating
without words the ruthless, abandoned,
golden haired beauty Of the Partisan
slums.
Needless to say, an Apache dance, the
genuine thing, if,abandonment of move
ment to a wild rhythm counts for any
thing, is given by Mile. Amato. with
M. Aurelio Coccia as her partner. The
plot of the act is not beautiful, but is
in keeping with the plane of the char
acters depicted.
DWon by Leg affords one of the
heartiest laughs that the Proctor play
house has provided in some time. The
plot of the farce deals with love
story, colored by two practical jokes.
Two scenes carry the action. In the
first the girl, playing deaf has her
innings, and in the second. the young
swain supposedly rich, tests the girls
love by making 1t appear as II he had
lost leg.
Carl and Victor Peterson, giving an
athletic exhibition on the high bar,
provokes both admiration and mirth
by their act. The clown Of the two
has monkey-like ability to use his
hands almost as we'll as his feet, and
uses his accomplishment to good effect.
Paul Barnes gave an old-style mono
logue and made good. Phil and Nettle
Peters try hard. but Phil Is far
fetched and Nettie should not attempt
to sing. The Four Msical Hodges and
the four members of the Arlington
Quartet make good for several come
backs The Arlington -Four are the real
thing in the quartet line.
Louis Guertin rounded out the bill in
an excellent high Jumping act. The
picturesque good.

loose and fiighty and become curse

There Is a reason. 1t is the lack OF

so-apparent, Intellectual control most
parents have over their children. Be
