I took Aunty home forst thing this morning after breakfast as Aunty Alice came home on the 11 o'clock car and Aunty wanted to have the house warmed up when she got home. When I got home Dad. and I put off the load of clover seed that was on the barn floor and wet out and got a small load of corn stalks. We gathered up all the loose ones and a couple of shocks that were down. We put them off before dinner. This after noon Dad. went out and and bunched up what was left of the clover seed. I helped him as soon as I got the chores done. We went out about four o'clock to load it. We cleared the field abut it took a lot of running asround and we diddn't get in till nearly six. Marj & Enah went down town this afternoon asnd Marj. intended going to Miss McQueens sale but there was such a crowd she didn't go. I went down to thew Tuxis boysmeeting to-night and we initiated Andrew Lowe. I then went up to Harry Dyer's and got my hair cut. They say the mill (Penman's) is going to close for an indefinite time for lack of orders, so the shadow of events that destroys rhew world intrude even hwere.Business all over is in a chaotic state and it looks as thought the world was in for hard times this winter.
