week for the coast and Joe Dyer told him that they were to leave Vancouver for Siberia not later than the 10th of October. so that there will be no chance of his getting home again. He has been attached to the Veterinary Corp. There hasn't been much war news from the Western Front the last few days, as the doings in Palestine are to be the centre of interest. General Allenby has just about freed that country from. the Turks so they say and has entirely wiped out two Turkish armies. Cool & fine.

Wednesday September 25th

It rained again this morning but soon cleared off and was a very nice day. Dad. plowed most of the day but was last getting out because we let the ewes out in the corner field and put the ram lambs in the pasture in front of the barn. Frank and I spent most of the day building a hurdle fence across from the end of the horse stable to the big barn to make a paddock for the ram. Winnie was over to tea to-night and after tea Frank, Enah, Win and I went down town. Winnie & Enah went to choir practice but we met them all coming away from the church. I spent the evening over at the Monteiths. Frank went to the picture show and we all met at. Aunty's and came home
