Friday January 30th

Dad. and I went down this morning and got aload of coal as there was a new car in and the coal looked and has proved to be of much better quality than any we have got so far. On our way home we met Jim. Waddle on his way oveer to tell us not to come out to-night asd Mrs. waddle was sick but to come Sunday night. This after noon we sat around and read quite awhile and then Dad. Enah & Tid drove down town to post a letter and I wernt over to Jack Martin's to ask them about buying baby chicks for broilers. I got a price list frpm. afellow in Toronto and the cheapest were $30.00 per 100 which Jack thought was prertty high for broiler chicks, but Chros offered to let me raise all of his Leghorns and to pay me broiler prices for them when they are readu to go so I think I will take his offer. He told me that band was going to Simcoe to-night to play at the rink so I went down to Aunty's for tea. Only a few of the band boys went up and it was very cold up in the rink, but it was a good game. Simcoe beat Paris 5-2 O.H.A.
