I took Aunty home forst thing this morning after breakfast as Aunty Alice came home on the 11 o'clock car and Aunty wanted to have the hous ewarmed up when she got home. When I got home Dad. and I put off the load of clover seed that wa son the barn floor and wet out and got. asmall load of corn stalks. We gathered up all the loos eones and a couple of shocks that were down. We put them off before dinner. This after noon Dad. went out and and bunche dup what was left of the clover seed. I helped him as soon as I got the chores done. We went out about four o'clock to load it. We ckeared the field abut it took a lot of running asround and we diddn't get in till nearly six. Marj & Enah went down town this afternoon asnd Marj. intended going to Miss McQueens sale but there was such a crowd she didn't go. I went down to thew Tuxis boysmeeting to-night and we initiated Andrew Lowe. I then went up to Harry Dyer's and got my hs=air cut. They say the mill (Penman's) is going to ckos eform an indefinite time for lack of orders, so the shadow of events that destroys rhew world intrude even hwere.Business all ove ris in a chaotic state and oit looks as thought he world is in for hard times this winter.
