From the Lawrence Daily Journal-World for June 9, 1911:

• “The farmers of Kansas will have a chance to try out young Indians as farm hands this summer. The Haskell Indian school is trying to make arrangements to place the young Indians who desire to become farmers on farms all over the state during the summer months. W. C. Keen, an agent of the institution and principal of the business department, was in Topeka yesterday talking the matter over with Charles Harris, director of the State Free Employment bureau. ‘We don’t want the boys in the harvest field,’ said Mr. Keen. ‘There are too many wild characters from outside of the state here in the harvest season. We want the boys to have the best of surroundings and as few temptations as possible. We don’t want to locate them near Indian reservations for the same reason. We will avoid proximity to large cities and towns. The country is what we want for the boys and I believe we will be able to find a great many successful farmers in the state who will be willing to try Indian farm labor for a few months…. Ninety per cent of the Indians at the school want to farm. Only 10 per cent are enrolled in the professions and business courses. The boys are interested and want to go out for the experience they will get. We will take them back to the school in the fall.'”
• [Advertisement] “Science Makes its Bow to the Housewife with PERSIL. The attention of the great chemists of Germany has turned, for a time, from the factory to the home; and the result is PERSIL — a Washing Compound with Oxygen instead of alkali for its base. Oxygen is Nature’s own cleanser — the natural foe of dirt and grease. To get Oxygen in a form to wash clothes with it means: No More Rubbing – No More Washboard – No More Stains – No More Garments ‘Worn Out by Washing’ – No More Hands Injured by Strong Soap – In Fact, No More Washday Toil. This is not the first advertisement of PERSIL. It will not be the last. PERSIL is too big, too wonderful a discovery to be fully described in one advertisement. But PERSIL is for sale in this city – probably by your grocer. You can buy a package from him now. A large package of PERSIL costs a quarter and does a dollar’s worth.”
