Universal Plow
Kraabel & Kraabel
irl
Everybody has heard of the "UNI
VERSAL" plow—the plow that does
perfect work in any kind of soil, on any
kind of land. Being the only all-purpose
plow in the world, it is naturally quite a
curiosity to anyone who has never seen it.
We now have one c. hese remarkable
implements on exhibition here at our
store and will be pleased to show it to
you any time you say.
The Only Universal Plow In the World
We have known a number of plows that do good work in
certain soils and on some kinds of land. But this is the first
and only plow we have ever seen that successfully does all
kinds of plowing.
This plow does excellent work on tame sod,on stubble land,
in a trashy last-season's cornfield, in gumbo soil, sandy loam,
mixed land or in any other way or place you choose. In every
case it turns each slice over, flat and smooth, unthout kinking.
Saves Priceless Moisture
Az it lays each slice clear over—flatand smooth—(nokinks)
thcra is no air space between top and subsoil. It leave* the
top soil in direct close contact with subsoil, and thus in dry
weather, water comes up from below just like kerosene comes
op a lamp wick.
It's a mighty important thing to see that your crops get
plenty of moisture in hot, dry weather. If moisture don't come
on top, bring it up from below. It's there and you can get it.
How It Works
Note the peculiar corkscrew, auger-like twist of the moula
board. A slice of any thickness spreads out evenly over the

Engineer.

fice has just completed the inspection

about 466,600 tons. Eleven minor ac
cidents and one death were reported.
The maximum number of men em
ployed during the winter months was
1,200.
Thirty mines were reported for 1911

THE LAW FORBIDS.
Blaisdell Believes Circulation of
Tickets is a Violation.
fMinot.—is the circulation of cards or
tickets of the so-called slate order in
the primary campaign a violation ol
the 1911 corrupt practice act?
This is the question which Alfred
Blaisdell, candidate for the republican
nomination for congress, asks of At
torney General Miller in the follow
ing interest letter:
March 30, 1912.—The Honorable
Andrew Miller, Attorney General,
Bismarck, N. D.—My Dear General:
Sec. 9, Chap. 129, Laws of 1911, N.
D., provides that "no person shall in
order to aid or promote his nomina
tion directly or indirectly promise to
secure or aid in securing the nomina
tion of another person, etc."
In your opinion does the statute
forbid any two or more candidates or
set of candidates co-operating and
circulating cards or tickets of the so
called slatfe order, with their names
and offices sought thereon, and when
such candidates are jointly contribut
ing to the expenses thereof, either in
a direct or indirect manner? I appre
hend that there is no question but
what this statute does away with the
old system of establishing headquar
ters for any of the various sets of can
didates, but does the statute forbid
the circulating of a printed ticket or
"Blate" when the candidates have in
any direct or indirect manner jointly
contributed towards the expenses
thereof. Your early opinion on this
^nost important matter ier earnestly
desired. It is a matter of vital inter
est not only to all those candidates
who desire to live up to the spirit of
the law but algo to the voters of the
state.
1 have the honor to remain,

ROME'SCOLISEUM
Majestic Even In Its Ruins Is the
Historic Old Edifice.
ITS BLOOD SATURATED ARENA
On the Occasion of Its Inauguration
Five Thousand Wild Animals and Ten
Thousand Captives Were Slain In an
Orgy Treat Lasted a Hundred Days.
Second only to the Acropolis at Ath
ens in interest to the autiquarlan and
historian in Ills study of ruins of Eu
rope is the Coliseum at Rome. This
historic edifice was erected during the
reigns of Vespasian and Titus and la
honor of the latter. It is said that 80,
000 Jews were engaged iu its erection
for ten years.
It was a feudal fortress for a long
time and Anally quarry from which
were built churches and palaces until
by its consecration as holy ground ou
account of the number of martyrs sup
posed to have been immolated there,
further ravages were stopped.
It is said to have given seats to 87,
000 spectators and was inagurated A.
D. SO. the same year In which Titus
died, on which occasion 5,000 wild an
imals and 10.000 captives were slain.
The inauguration lasted 100 days. An
ecclesiastical tradition makes the archi
tect to have been Christian, oue
Gaudentius. afterward a martyr.
This struct lire was originally called
the Ainphitheatrum Flavlum, but since
the time of Hebe it has been known as
the Coliseum, probably giveu It because
of its enormous size.
The Roman Coliseum became the
spot where prince and people met to
gether to witness those sanguinary ex
hibitions the degrading effect of which
on the Roman character can hardly be
overestimated. The circumference of
the building is 1.0-11 feet, the height of
the outer wall Is 1.77. the length of the
arena 27.8 feet and Its width 177. It
covers an area of six acres.
It is only by ascending to the upper
terrace that the enormous size of the
Coliseum is fully seen, and by moon
light the effect of size and masslvenexs
is much Increased. The ruins smith tf
the Coliseum are supposed to have been
the Vivarium, in which were kept ttie
wild beasts for the combats
As a general description of the build
ing the following passage of Clbboa W
said to be perfect: "The outside of the
edifice was im-rusted with marble and
decorated with statues. The slopes of
the vast concave which formed rbe in
side were filled and surrounded with
sixty or eighty rows of seats, of mar
ble likewise, covered with cushions
and capable of receiving with ease
about 80,000 spectators Sixty-four
'vomitories' (for by that name the doors
were very aptlv distinguished! poured
forth the Immense multitude, and the
entrances, passages and staircases
were contrived with such exquisite
skill that each person, whether of the
senatorial, the equestrian or the ple
beian order, arrived at his destined
place without trouble or confusion.
Nothing was omitted whicli in any re
spect could be subservient to the con
venience and pleasure of the specta
tors. They were protected from the
sun and rain by nn ample canopy, oc
casionally drawn over their heads. The
air was continually refreshed by the
playing of fountains and profusely im
pregnated by the grateful scent of aro
matics.
"In tiie center of the edifice the arena
was strewed with the finest sand and
successively assumed the most differ
ent forms. At one moment It seemed
to rise out of the earth like the garden
of the Hesperides, and was afterward
broken into the rocks and caverns of
Thrace. The subterranean pipes con
veyed an inexhaustible supply of
water, and what had Just before ap
peared a level plain might be suddenly
converted into a wide lake, covered
with armed vessels and replenished
with the monsters of the deep.
"Iu the decoration of these scenes
the Roman emperors displayed their
wealth and liberality, and ve read on
various occasions that the whole fur
niture of the amphitheater consisted
either of silver or of gold or of amber.
"The poet who describes the game of
Carinus in the character of a shepherd
attracted to the capitoi by the fame of
their magnificence affirms that the nets
designed as a defense against the wild
beasts were of gold wire, that the por-.
tlcocs were gilded and that the 'belt' or
circle which divided the several ranks
of spectators from each other was stud
ded with a precious mosaic of beauti
ful stones."
In ancient times there was hardly a
town in the Roman empire which bad
not an amphitheater large enough to
contain vast multitudes of spectators,
and as specimens of architecture the
amphitheaters were more remarkable
for the mechanical skill and admirable
adaptation to their purpose displayed
in them than for any beauty of shape
or decoration.—Chicago News.
