Wednesday October 27th

George Art. Quanbury & I spent the day fixing the cow stable roof and much to my surprise finished it and got the end nearly boarded in. Art only asked 35 cts an hour too. Cecil coaks me 60. and I don't think is a bit better workman. Frank went to Toronto to-day with Jack Walker. Jack has been at him to go before. Irene went down with them to hunt up a job. Frank got home late to-night with a nasty cold. The Bagleys went out to our place this afternoon to get some sweet apples and called in at the farm & took Marj. with them. Fine day, mild.
