school and Marj. and I went down later in the waggon so that we could get Jack's sprayer on the way home. We had to get some things up town including a bottle of creatin to put in the whitewash and when we got down to the lake Clare Deal told us they had just sold the last bag of lime that if we had been there at nine o'clock we could have got some, however we met Chris. on the way over and he said they had some we could borrow. It was noon when we went in after the tank but I got {Name?} to help me load it. I felt tough after dinner for quite awhile in fact all the after noon but mixed up some whitewash and about four o'clock got Marj. to help me as Dad. had gone down after Tim. Marj. put on overalls and an old raincoat and came out but although I pumped and pumped nothing happened except that I kept feeling rottener and eventually we quit trying. Dad. tried to make it go but had no better luck than we did. Fine day.
