Friday March 9th

Dad's tooth ached badly last night so after we got the chores done this morning he went down to have it out, so I went down with him in the cutter and took Mr. Hobbes his three old hens. I went down to Aunty Alice's and waited there for Dad. He didn't come for about two hours and I had my dinner down there, he had to wait but got his tooth pulled. It is sore to-night more from the stuff Bill injected than anything. Lila came over with us as there is no High school this after noon Mr. Barron having gone away. This after noon Frank and I went down to the mill and as they had some {corn?} in I got four bags of it. To-night Frank has gone down to Club. Enah and "Aunt Annie" went over to Mrs. Battersby this after noon. Ada. told Dad. this morning that Alan tells in his last letter home that he saw fifteen dead children, killed from eating poisoned candies which were dropped from a German Zeppelin flying over one of the small French towns behind the trenches. I don't know whether that convinced Dad. that the Germans are any thing short of savages compared with the Allies in their tactics or not, as he always refuses to believe any such stories {unless?} hear of them through other sources. It has been fairly sunny to-day but a cold raw wind all day.
