help Tom Butler saw some wood this morning and was gone till after dinner. I spent the day doing chores and husking corn and helping Dad fix up the calf pens a little. Marj. has had a busy day washing and ironing and is pretty tired to-night. Aubrey Wilson came over to-night and I charted him for the Tuxis boys. Tid. was promoted to Miss Bests room to-day. He doesn't relish having to leave Miss McQueen
