From the Lawrence Daily Journal-World for Nov. 6, 1915:

• “A crowd of at least 150 rooters is in Topeka today to witness the football game between Lawrence high and Topeka high at the Western League park. Most of them accompanied the team on Santa Fe No. 5. Other people went on the two other morning trains and it is estimated that fifty motored to the capital city…. Morning reports from Topeka indicate that Lawrence high school had the edge as far as condition was concerned. The Topeka team will be lacking some of its best players because of injuries in the game with St. Joe a week ago.”
• “S. J. Crumbine, secretary of the Kansas state board of health, and a world-famous expert concerning public and residential sanitation, will lecture at the Trinity Lutheran church next Tuesday evening…. Doctor Crumbine is the discoverer of the origin of infantile paralysis, in itself one of the great discoveries in that class made during the past fifty years, ranking with that of the discovery of the origin of yellow fever and typhus. It is difficult for Kansans to realize, with the inconspicuous, diffident figure of Dr. Crumbine moving among them, that it shelters a great mind, an intensely practical mind, and one that has unflagging industry and boundless public spirit behind it.”
• “Frank Adams, the 17-year-old boy who was arrested last week for stealing a bicycle, was released from the city jail today. The boy impressed the officers as not being particularly bright, but he proved a good worker around the jail yard, and he promised the chief of police that he would go out and get a regular job.”
• “Throughout our country ‘Everybody at Church Days’ are being observed. In many places the interest and enthusiasm are intense. This back to the church movement is one of the most important of the present age. It is doing much to offset the evil influences that have been luring the people away from public worship. Thoughtful people today recognize the fact that life must of necessity be cheap and trivial if so immersed in material things that at least one hour a week cannot be given to thought of God and to the plan and purpose of existence. The church is not a charity nor a luxury – it is a necessity, just as schools and commerce and government are necessities. It ministers to the deepest needs of man. It gives man a vision of life and its problems from above and fits him to meet his problems and perform his tasks. Without the idealism of the church, without the sense of the reality of spiritual things, without the readiness to follow the heavenly vision at any cost there can be little hope for the permanent uplift of the world. Take the church out of Lawrence and few people would desire to live here. The hope for the future of our city, our state, our nation, is vitally associated with the teachings of the church…. Let every citizen of Lawrence feel a personal responsibility for the success of this movement that means an awakened interest in the higher concerns of life.”
• “Workmen were busy today putting in the large plate glass windows which will be for a complete wall for the lower story of the Thudium building at the corner of Massachusetts and Eighth streets, which has been undergoing extensive remodeling. The Kaw Kash Klothing Kompany will have one of the best lighted places of business in the city when the work is completed.”
• “Workmen started this morning to lay the brick pavement in the alley east of Massachusetts street, in the 600 block. The pavement will be ready for use in a short time now.”
