We finished thrashing by about eleven o'clock this morning and got about 3 bags of seed which we thought wasn't bad. Frank went down to Art Ryerse's to get his name on the petition that the J.F.I.A. is circulating to counteract the one that some sore heads around Simcoe have sent in to have Neff. dismissed. George & Lloyd signed it but told him not to go near Art. as he wasn't in a good humor. We didn't do much this after noon and to-night Marj. and I went down to meet a friend of hers, Mrs. Low a sister of Miss Daver's who lectures for the Women's Institute and has been in Simcoe this week. She came down on the seven o'clock car and went back on the nine. We didn't have time to bring her over here so took her to Aunty's. Marj. went down this after noon and went with Aunty Alice, Enah and Tim to the fifteen cent. leftover tea in the Methodist church. I had tea at Aunty's. Cold & cloudy
