we get one more load in and leave it on the waggon we won't be able to haul any more till we thrash. Marj. and I went down town to-night and I went to band practice and she went to Miss McQueen's to wait for me. We had a fair practice {illegible} with although there weren't many out. Tim was home from school to-day as he isn't well in some way although he seems to feel all right. Another lovely day.

Pickford came over this morning and bought a ram to kill. Frank sold it to him for {6?} cts a lb so he got it for $6.90. We hauled in another load of corn this morning and were late pulling in with it. The mill has closed down now for a week or so they don't blow the whistle and we never know when noon is. Frank and I spent most of the afternoon husking corn. Marj. washed to day. Aunty Alice came over to-night before we finished tea and spent the evening or part of it with us. Another beautiful day.

Wednesday January 12th

I spent the fore noon doing chores and came home early for dinner and this after noon went up to the annual meeting of the Norfolk Co-Operative. They had a big meeting and gave back the notes that were given on the start and changed the company to a joint stock affair still to be run on a co-operative basis. A good many of them were very hard to convince that it was a good move as they were very prejudiced against joint stock companys, but as there will be no chance of anyone getting a controlling interest their being just one vote to a man irrespective of the number of shares he has and as the profits will still be divided according to the business done as before I thought it looked safe enough and Johnson says the advantages will be that he will get a higher rating than under the old system and as he had to borrow a certain ammount of capital to keep things going he might just as well be paying interest to the members as to outsiders. I took one share at ten dollars. I got a ride down with Ham. Thompson and went down to Aunty's for tea. Marj. and Lila were there Marj. had been at the bridge club at Mrs McLaughlin's and won the prize. To-night she and Aunty went up to the Girls auxillary meeting and I went up to Harry Dyer's and got my hair cut. Enah and Frank went to the U.F.O. concert and they put on the same performance as they had at the school house. We waited to come home with Enah so didn't get away till after mid-night. Colin Ryerse and Pickford came over and killed a ram for us this morning. He was a fine carcase. Colder to-day.
