HEART IF HUMANITY AT TIE PLAZA TODAY.

A screen classic that critics have placed in the same category with "The Birth of a Nation" and Hearts of the World" has been produced by Allen Holubar under the title of "The Heart of Humanity" and will be exhibited at the Plaza theater Thursday and Friday. with Dorothy Phillips in the principal role.
 "The Heart of Humanity" is a mo- ton picture history of woman's part in the great war, depicted in story form and built around the romance of little Canadian girl who gave her husband to fight against Prussian au- tocracy and then went to France her self to care for the wounded and or phaned and homeless victims of Ger man brutality.
 The closing scenes of the fighting in Flanders form the red background for action that expresses the bravery of the Red Cross in working under the very mouths of German guns. to restore to normal physical and mental health the children of France and Belgium made fatherless, motherless and home less by war. It is amid such scenes that Nanette the little wife of John Patricia, an aviator with the Canadian eXpeditionary forces, labors night and day. and suffers the indignitieS of war maddened, lustful Huns before she is reunited with her husband and deco rated by the French government for her ValorouS service.

PAY HARVEST HANDS
 S15 4 DAY IN KANSAS

Kansas farmers are paying as high as s15 day, with room and board, for harvest hands. Frank McIvor, special deputy state fire marshal in Western Kansas watching for I w. w. out breaks, wrote letter to the state fire marshal in which he said:
 With wheat dead ripe, farmers of western Kansas appear to have lost all idea of the value of dollar in their desire to get harvest help and are bid ding undreamed of prices.
 At Salina l heard a farmer offer 70 cents an hour for shockers and barge men. A little further west this price went to 80 and 90 cents. Al Ellsworth one farmer had taken bunch at s11 a day, and today here in Hays s15 was the high figure.
 Reaching on either side of the track between Russell and Hays as far as the eye can see is one huge field of golden grain waiting to be harvested, with only about one-tenth enough help to care for it.
 The prices the farmers are willing to pay for help are not conducive to the discontent the l. W. W.s desire to stir.
 Tn many places the business men are closing their places and going into the wheat fields, even the soft handed bank clerk and shoe salesman are go- ing forth to do their bits
