"Thc Birth of q Race" the epic
photoplay which is being shown this
evening for thu last time at the city

romance, tragedy and progress from

The episodes are remarkable in

age to the next. The Garden of
Eden, the episode Of Noah's ark.
Moses and the Hebrews, the world
ruled by Rome and the birth Of
Christ, Christ crucified, European

America, and at last the war of 1914
and the armistice.
Enthusiastic crowds have attended
the two showings of 1.-THE Birth of a
Race which were given Friday eve

Kansas Millionaire
Owes Riches to Mower

"A moving machine made H. E.
Wright millionaire.
Twenty-Five years ago he was
looking for a meadow. Two 4O-acre
tracts were offered to him at a
dollar an acre, but a hay mower was
thrown in free with one piece of
land to attract a buyer.
That moving machine led him to
choose the 30 acres from which he
has received $1,000,0OO in lead and
zinc royalties. Wright still owns
the land, but he cannot use it for
raising hay, because some Of the
best lead and zinc mines in Kansas
are located on it.
