stuff. The roads up near the corner are very bad and poor little Joe & Harry had all they could draw They got there though and got back after the rest of the things so we did our stunt and got all cleared up & Marj. cleaned the house so that it looks a lot better than when we went into it. Our clock and some fine china that I didn't like to trust on the waggon I took over to Sid. Goodwin's to leave for a day or two. Mr. Zealand seemed a little short when I said good-bye to him but I am glad we are out of his way and every one else seems to think it was the only thing to do. Joe & Harry couldn't quite make the grade in the lane with the last load so we left it right there in front of the hall door and Frank and I unloaded it after tea. This place now has a very cluttered up look with boxes barrels, trunks & parcels all over the place. It was about nine o'clock when we got through milking and unloading and then I went down to band practice. It was pretty late to go but Mid. had called up and I said I would. He is leader now and Harry Moon secretary. Bill resigned and has gone back into the ranks. We had quite a time getting any practising done as there was a medicine show in the hall and the boys were all out seeing it every time we would stop to get our wind. Aunty Maude rallied a little last night and has seemed a little stronger to-day but not really better. Very mild all day but showery. | stuff.

I just did chores this morning. Marj. & Enah washed and Frank went over to Pickford's to see if he would come over and saw wood for us to-morrow. We won't be able to get the rest up till after seeding so thought we would get what we have up cut. Gladys presented us with a pair of twins yesterday. This after noon we took the rack off and put the box on the waggon and Frank hauled down two loads (10 bags each) of wheat. It weighed up well and Stan. said it was a good sample. it is now worth $1.85. Dad. and I helped him load it and then Dad. helped me put Marj's trunks & barrels up over the wood shed. He went down town and stayed to tea and I went down after tea and went to church with her. It has been a beautiful Spring like day.
