noon, but Frank stayed back there to set some traps for a coon he thought he saw tracks of the other day, he isn't sure whether it is a coon or a ground hog. This afternoon he went back and worked all after noon on the side hill, while Dad and I cleaned up more oats. Enah went down to choir practice to-night. Lovely day.

He had to cut the sod right off so it was a tedious job, but I went down to-night and they are all just tickled to death at the change in the looks of things He took the baby down with him.

We monkeyed around down there so long that I was afraid Aunty would have started dinner without me so I went up to dinner with Huby. Ada. was up there but Quint had come over here. This after noon Marj. and I started to walk around the hill but it was such a beautiful day and so hot that I with a little coaxing persuaded her to come out here till I hooked Joe up and we went for a drive. Dad. had just got through cleaning his pronbang and his hands were all dirty so he hooked up for us. The old
