From the Lawrence Daily World for June 21, 1910: “At last night’s council meeting Mayor Bishop vetoed the much maligned automobile ordinance and introduced a less stringent measure which the body passed. It prohibits boys under 16 years from driving motors, but provides for a license to be issued minors between 16 and 18 years of age…. The first wheat cut this year fell before the reaper yesterday on Ed. Harvey’s farm near Blue Mound. The patch consisted of but three acres which had been planted on the 22nd of September with Zimmerman soft wheat, the seed for which was secured from the state experiment station at Manhattan. The wheat cut is at least ten days earlier than any other wheat in the neighborhood and wheat harvest in general will hardly commence before two weeks…. The ‘bleached flour’ controversy now on trial in Kansas City is exciting considerable interest in Lawrence. The question is whether or not the process of bleaching flour renders the product impure as a food and whether bleaching adds to the flour as an adulterant.”
