I went down to Aunty Alice's and weaited there for Dad. He didn't come for about two hours and I had n=my dinner down there, he had to wait but got his tooth pulled. It is sore to-night more from the stuff Billinjected than anything. Lila came over with us as there is no High school this after noon. Mr. Barron having gone away. This after noon Frank and I went down to the mill and as they had some {corn?} in I got four bags of it. To-night Frankl has gone down to Club.

Ada. tolf Dad. this morning that Alan tells on his last letter home that he saw fifteen dead children killewd from eating poisoned candies which were dripped from a German Zeppelin flying over ont e of the small French towns behind the trenches. I don't know wht=ether that convinced dad. that the Germansd are anything short of savagess compared woth ther Allies in their tactics or not, as he has always refuses to believe any such stories when hear of them through other sources. It has been fairly sunny to-dau bit a cold raw wind all day.
