Saturday September 4th
We finished thrashing at Martin's this morning about half past eight having about 400 bushels of wheat and 623 of oats. Dad and I came home by way of Jack Martin's to get his measuring chain but we couldn't find it. Sid. Goodwin showed his string of chickens that he is getting ready for the Syracuse Show. This after noon we hauled out a few more loads of manure. I went down town to-night and got my suit which they all thought looked all right. Frank came home some time during the night.
Sunday September 5th
Frank Tid and I went down to Sunday school and Enah came down to church. She and Tid. stayed all the after noon at her mothers as Elva & Brant were down for Labor Day to-morrow. I stayed for dinner at Aunty's and was down there all the after noon, went home about five and helped Dad. do chores. Frank seems pretty well tuckerd out. Dave must have worked him pretty hard and then he wound up by going to the dance. Mark. Stephens was in for awhile on his way down to church and he stopped in on his way back and we ate part of a water-melon that Enah got this afternoon up at Cantelon's.
