From the Lawrence Daily Journal-World for Oct. 13, 1915:

• “‘I counsel you to look after your health, intellectual and spiritual development and then to cultivate courtesy, kindness, good fellowship and trustworthiness,’ said Chancellor Frank Strong to the members of the High School Boys Club at their meeting last night in the Y. M. C. A. building. He added, ‘When I gave my word to do a thing I would stand by it until the crack of doom. What good is a man that can not be depended upon. I believe this is one of the great failures of the modern day and this is one of our greatest disappointments on the hill.'”
• “Monday night about midnight Henry Williams, a man 65 years old, fell from a second-story window at the County Home, a distance of twenty-eight feet, and was uninjured. The old man can give no reasonable explanation of being in the window at that time of night, and it is supposed that he merely lost his balance. He lit where the ground was soft, picked himself up, went around the house and knocked for admittance at the front door.”
• “The meeting of the Lawrence choral union held last night at Fraternal Aid Hall was attended by nearly 100 members of the society and the first practice of the season was a highly successful one. The meetings in the future will be held in the High School auditorium. Those who wish to join the society are requested to do so in the next week, so that the season’s practice may not be interfered with.”
• “An elaborately contrived fire escape will be added to the House Clothing House, 729 Massachusetts. It is being constructed at a local machine shop and will be placed in a few days.”
• “The high school football team will scrimmage this afternoon at Haskell with the Haskell third team.”
• [Advertisement] “While wispy, gray, faded hair is not sinful, we all desire to retain our youthful appearance and attractiveness. By darkening your hair with Wyeth’s Sage and Sulphur, no one can tell, because it does so naturally, so evenly. You just dampen a sponge or soft brush with it and draw this through your hair, taking one small strand at a time; by morning all gray hairs have disappeared, and, after another application or two, your hair becomes beautifully dark, glossy, soft and luxuriant.”
