From the Lawrence Daily Journal-World for May 14, 1911:

• “Scouting along the old Santa Fe trail until they reach the home of Lloyd Black and a chicken dinner, a group of Methodist lads will take their first hike as Boy Scouts tomorrow. Mr. Black is a former assistant secretary of the Y.M.C.A. here and invited the lads to visit him at his home. He lives near Baldwin so that the scouts face a twelve or fourteen mile hike. They will follow the old Santa Fe trail as far as expedient and may make several side trips to points of interest along the way. The Scouts have been promised a chicken dinner by Mr. Black after reaching his farm.”
• “Claiming that his permanent residence was in Wakarusa and that he only spent a portion of his time in his house on South Mass., J. L. Kilworth refused to pay dog tax yesterday and was arrested. Kilworth is a wealthy Wakarusa farmer, who spends a great deal of his time in Lawrence. He has two dogs but declares he will not pay the city tax on either of him.”
• “The census just completed shows a decrease of two thousand people. What was the reason? Well, here is one reason: Lawrence people do not patronize home. The women run to Kansas City for everything. The merchants think it does not pay to advertise. They keep excellent stocks. They spent their good money to build the town, but the women, who do most of the buying around the house, are dead set on spending all the money they can get in Kansas City. And people go where their money goes. They have followed their money to Kansas City. Where the heart is there the treasure is.”
