We didn't get through though till late. we had our tea and I had part of the milking done when Dad. came up. Frank and Lloyd Ryerse went over to the potato patch as soon as they could but I didn't get over till nearly dark on account of the chores but was there in time to get a few kicks at the foot ball.

Tige McBride and Frank and I all stopped in at th mill to see Stan Dollar and got making so much noise singing and kicking of the pot ball around the mill, but old Herb Cook came across in a very peeved state and accused us of keeping one man from his sleep and another from his work. He was so crusty that we thought it best to break up the party so we came home and except setting fire to the gas well which wouldn't burn for more than a few seconds, comitted no depredations on the way. Clear & much warmer to-day.
