From the Lawrence Daily Journal-World for Nov. 1, 1914:

• “Who says there isn’t money to throw away in Lawrence? The fact that two dozen fresh eggs, worth thirty cents a dozen, were splattered over the face of Plymouth Congregational church Saturday night would lead one to believe there is. That was the most expensive stunt of the evening. Several clotheslines were whacked and a few porch chairs moved next door and one went right out into the middle of the street and sat down. It refused to move and an old gentleman dragged it back home the next morning. A number of windows were soaped and received the other half of their bath this morning. Ticktacks and spooks made numberless visits and dozens of spirits returned to ring door bells on Lawrence porches. Otherwise the most exciting Hallowe’en diversion consisted in bobbing for apples and other fruits that happened to be where they could be easily procured. The ringing of door bells was the one favorite diversion of the evening. Some of the over-ardent youths have been taking advantage of the season of the year and have been ringing door bells for the past week in a most consistent manner. The Hallowe’en season is now over and people will be busy for the next few weeks getting their property separated from the exchanges placed on their premises.”
• “Plans for a boulevard drive along the western city limits, from Warren [Ninth] street to the University, are being prepared by the Wakarusa road and improvement club, to be discussed Thursday evening…. The scheme has the support of the automobile owners of the city, many of whom have donated liberally to a fund for the purpose of constructing the boulevard…. The boulevard, as planned will run west from Warren street a half mile, then south on the Township road, then east to connect with Lawrence and the University, a highway of nearly 2 miles, of rock, ten inches thick, and periodically oiled, if found necessary. The road will be sixteen feet wide. All people interested in the development of this project are invited to attend the meeting Thursday evening, when plans will be arranged if possible.”
