He got up a little earlier this morning as Tracks wanted to go after the buttermilk. She got started around 7:30 and went by way of town to see if Otto's coal was ready, and it was not, so she went on to the factory. He hadn't been gone long when she came wanting the buttermilk as Tracks had his trip for nothing. If he had only known, he could have taken a load of ice to Dia Marshal, as they were drawing that day, but Farmer Lied forgot to tell us. Vanil cold.

Saturday, January 20th. I started Friday's diary for today as we did not get up any earlier yesterday, but did today. Frank got off this morning at 9:20 instead of yesterday.
