From the Lawrence Daily World for Nov. 27, 1910:

• “ZERO WEATHER COMING. Winter is About to Make a Touch Down. — The local weather man of Lawrence, whose predictions have come to be regarded with a great deal of respect, says winter is going to make a touchdown. A troublesome quarterback in the northwest is going to boot the good old summertime over into the Gulf of Mexico. M. Thermometer is going to report the game a minus 10 to 0, so climb up in the bleachers and watch the scrimmage.”
• “If an alert appearing man wearing a dark suit of clothes and a derby hat walked into your bakery today and registered no objection when you sold him the smallest loaf of bread in sight, you had better implore the fates to let it be above weight. Or if he selected a bottle of catsup whose proper branding you have occasion to doubt, you had better quietly carry the remainder of the consignment out into the alley and unobtrusively dump it into the nearest sewer. The man with the all-observing eyes was John Kleinhaus, state pure food inspector. He happened into Lawrence unexpectedly this morning as the ubiquitous inspectors always do, and after a few rapid inspections along Massachusetts street, caught a train to Atchison.”
