From the Lawrence Daily World for July 10, 1910:

” ‘I have just figured,’ began the mathematical fiend on the World force, ‘that if the paper used for a year’s issues were cut into an inch ribbon it would reach entirely around the earth twice.’ The quantity of white paper used yearly by the World in issuing its six pages is something enormous…. If a ruling of J. M. Nation, state auditor, is allowed to stand undisputed, the university will not receive its magnificent new Administration building until after the legislature has met again. Nation announced a ruling from his department this morning, which, while purely technical, will delay the erection of the building till next summer, unless he can be influenced to alter his determination…. This morning instructions were issued to the police force to see that small boys were not allowed to swim indiscriminately in the Kaw. Much complaint has come to the officers that boys, many of them under ten years of age, are in the habit of going to the swimming hole just below the Santa Fe station and spending the entire afternoon in the water. The river is deep at this point and the current entirely too swift for lads to be allowed to play about freely. Yesterday a bunch of seven or eight were taken to police headquarters and warned that they must stay away from the river until they are older.”
