Old Home Town – 100 years ago
From the Lawrence Daily World for Sept. 28, 1908: “Officials at the university department of entomology say that insect damage has found only 11 dead trees due to insect infestations and that the elms of the city are generally safe and not dying out at anything beyond the normal rate. : A contract has been signed for the playing of the Kansas-Missouri football game on Thanksgiving Day in Kansas City again. Last year the game was moved to St. Joseph, Mo., after a dispute over alleged excessive charges for the use of the Kansas City field. It was the only time the game had been moved out of Kansas City.”
