Dad. finished cutting the wheat this after noon and we put the binder back in the woodshed. Huby and I shocked up for a little while before dinner but helped old Felix all the after noon so most of the wheat has to be shocked up any way. Frank went over to John Wess to-night to see if he would like a little help to-morrow as from here it looks as if he had a lot of hay out. and we knew he had no man. He was cutting wheat and expected to be at it to-morrow but said a man would come in hadny the next day, so I guess I will go over. | Dad. finished cutting the wheat this after noon and we put the binder back in the woodshed.

Felix told us that Jack McCarty cut his throat this morning. He has been sick for quite awhile and I suppose it has left him in bad shape.

Pretty hot to-day. |
