Monday January 28th

Frank has been at school all day but I didn't go down, I stayed home this morning to help Dad take one of our young sows down to {surname?} and then at noon I decided I wouldn't bother going down. I went downto-night and Marj. and I went to the picture show to see "The Whip" and it was vevry good. It was a very rough morning with an east wind and sleet but just milder this afternoon noon and almost rained although it didn't go above zero. Trains are all late again.

Frank and I stayed home this morning intending to haul ice but when we went down, we found that they weren't cutting as the water had back up on the creek so we came home and told Dad. and he thought we had better go down and get a load of coke, as they have a car of it in and don't know when they will have any coal in. We got a load but could only put on 1300 lbs as it is light stuff. It burns quicker than coal and makes a hot fire. Dad. went down with us to see Jim Bannister's old mare and Jim brought him back. Jim was goingaround with yester day's mail as he didn't get any farther than Evan's yester day
