had to come in too. Huby and I finished mowing away an then I came in the house. Pretty soon all the rest of them came in and we had dinner. Then Bill ground the mower knife and Wyatt Dentons ground the binder knife. Then Bill and Huby went down town. Bill is going to the Point to-morrow and aparently feels like a kitten. Daddy and Dick went down town about four to get some shorts and the mail and Enah made some fudge. About five o'clock Daddy Dick and I went out and shocked wheat. We got a row all around the field about 6.30. It began to thunder and lightning at a great rate about half past eight. There were some very vivid flashes of lightning and I went out and tried taking a lightning flashlight of Daddy and Dick. The fellow got all the wheat cut in the one field to-day.

Saturday July 15th

As every thing outdoors was soaking wet Daddy thought it would be a good idea to cut the alsike. He took Joe and Belle. I went over with him and went around the field. I came back by the lane. Young Parsons was in the wheat when I came up. I went around onvce behind the binder and therew the sheaves out of his road, then I got old Harry for him to put onwith the team as one was a colt. Then I cleaned off Ginger as she was lonesome and went out and shocked wheat till noon.
