drove down as soon as I could after tea and Mr. Clarke and I went to the picture show which was rather funny and picked Marj up at Auntys after. Friday September 9th Jack Martin came over first thing this morning and told Dad. he wanted both of us to help thrash this after noon, so as Dad. thought we had better try to have them come here next in spite of the fact that we didn't get any manure out, he didn't go back to plough but spent the fore noon clearing up the barn. He asked Jack if we could have his waggon to go down and get a load of coal and Jack said that the box was on it, but when I went over I found the rack was on it and Billy wanted it to put between the two stacks to pitch into the machine from so he helped me take the rack off and put the box on and I got a load of coal but had to unload it again and take the waggon back. This after noon Dad. and I both went over but Dad. didn't have much to do and came home about four o'clock. We had a very slow run as the stuff was very tough and plugged up every little while. We didn't get both stacks quite thrashed out. Still very hot & sultry. Saturday September 10th I went over to thrash this morning and Dad. said he would go over as soon as they got started at the big barn. We finished the stack down at the Vyse place in about an hour and moved up to Billy's barn, but Sam got tinkering with the separator and found some thing wrong that he said would take him till noon to fix so Dad. & I came home about ten. We thought they would start up this after noon but kept waiting & watching all after noon and they didn't start so our day was wasted. Proper came over to get Dad. to look at his horse which Dad. says has lymphangitis. Sunday September 11th Marj. Tid and I drove down to Sunday school with
