From the Lawrence Daily World for Sept. 6, 1910:

“Patrick Brown, a stockman of Galena, was killed and three other persons seriously injured in a wreck on the Union Pacific near Lawrence this morning. The Rock Island double header freight crashed into the rear of a Union Pacific cattle train nine miles west of Kansas City, Kan., this morning at an early hour…. Dearing, Kansas, is in the thickest of an epidemic of checkeritis. It would seem that everybody in town has suddenly become checker players. The old folks play as well as the youngsters. They play in their homes in the evenings, under the shade of trees in the daytime and in the stores all the time. It has been the chief sport of the town…. [Advertisement] A good breakfast has a lot to do with the day’s pleasure and success. The less cooking for the housewife, the happier she can be in other activities – and the better the breakfast the happier the rest of the family. These two big points are gained when POST TOASTIES are served right from the package with cream or milk. The charming flavour of this crisp, sweet food puts everyone at table in good humor. ‘The Memory Lingers.'”
