From the Lawrence Daily World for Feb. 11, 1911:

• “The horrible, grinning, preposterous apparition designated as the comic valentine is slowly, but none the less surely, disappearing from Lawrence valentine counters. Praise be! The old style comic is fading and in its place a card reads in all the heartiness of modern slang and in slightly poor poetry:

  “Our eyes have met, / Our lips not yet. / But oh you kid! / I’ll get you yet.”

• “A $75 hunting lodge has been built along the downstream bank of the Kaw. The building is a substantial building and will be used for hunting and fishing in the winter and for camping purposes in the summer. Those who comprise the club are Elmer Newby, Harry Schliefer, Wm. Schultz, Royal Shaffer, Frank Evans, Chad Lawrence, Walt Bromelsick and Clark Bouldin.”
• “The World once more ran its paper off on its own press last night although the repairs had not been entirely perfected. We want to call attention to the kindness of the other papers in assisting the World when it needed help. The Journal, whose presses are now taxed almost to capacity with its own affairs, cut down the size of its paper from six to four pages in order to care for a part of the press work of the World, and the Gazette took charge of the rest. It has been an accommodation that was greatly appreciated and the World will be ready to return the favor at any time that it may be necessary.”
