and got some old cherry logs over at Mr. Jame's. Frank got some boxes to feed the sheep in and I got a can of coal-oil. I saw {Mid.?} and Mr. Bagley go in to Arthur Anderson's so I went in to ask them where they were going to practice to-night as the Women's Institute are having a lecturer up in the room which we have been using and which is also their meeting place. They didn't know where we would meet but said it would be some place maybe in the Masonic hall if there was no fear of us "getting their goat". I found them back in the store rejoicing over a horn which was lost and is found. I think it was an alto which Jack Anderson had. Ed. Moon was in there and wanted to send over some beans to clean through the fanning mill so went down to the house with us to get them. This after noon Frank went down and got some posts at Jack Reynolds and when he came back Dad. went back to the back field with him and put them off. To-night Frank went down to the picture show and I went to band practice. We did have it in the Mason's room. Very cold north wind.

Tuesday March April 1st

I haven't done any thing much to-day but a few chores. I helped Frank bag up some oats this morning and he took them down to the mill to trade off for oil cake and bran for the sheep. He also went up to Billy Dixon's and got the {hay?} truck and potato digger which he bought at the sale. This after noon he went down town to get Felix Perkins to come over and fix the pump at the windmill. We don't know what is wrong with it but Dad. went to turn the windmill in last night and the rod in the pump was jammed and wouldn't move. The wind was strong and before he knew what happened a piece snapped out of the middle of the jirk-rod. Felix said he would be over in the morning. Dad. Enah & Tid went down to tea at Aunty's to-night and then went to the picture show to see "Uncle Tom's Cabin". I went down and went with Marj. to the second show. It was pretty good. Margurite Clark played Eva and Topsy. Old no. 68 had a pair of lambs late this after noon. She had them in a very short time and none of us were out there. When Frank found them one was up. They were covered with dirt as they were born out in the shed.
