Tuesday November 20th

I didn't do any thing all morning but sit around and read "Saturday Nights". This after noon I went down and got my hair cut. Enah went down as far as Uncle Ward's to find out the particulars of Mrs. Schofield's funeral, she having died suddenly yesterday. Dad. and Frank plowed with both teams to-day but took quite awhile doing chores. The nominations for the federal elections were yesterday and it looks as if there was going to be quite a fight. In Norfolk, however, Innes withdrew at the last minute so that leaves Charlton, Liberal Unionist against Wallace, Laurier man. Cloudy & damp. Charlie Quanbury got word to-day that his claim for exemption has been refused.

Wednesday November 21st

Dad. and Frank plowed this morning and Frank this after noon but Dad. had to act as bearer at Mrs. Scoffield's funeral if he had been home they would have finished the oat stubble I sat around the house all day as I have a new boil on my knee which makes it pretty sore. Bruce was around this after noon soliciting subscriptions to the Victory Loan but we were unable to invest. I went down town to-night to see Marj. and stayed at Aunty's all night. Cloudy & raw.
