for Dad's little pigs and we werent able to get up a load of corn stalks as we had hoped as I had to get ready to catch the one o'clock car to attend a meeting of the Shorthorn Breeders in Simcoe. The meeting wasnt called till two o'clock so I had lots of time on my hands and prowled around looking in the store windows. I saw a large toy aeroplane in Fall's toy display and recognized it as the one Quint made last summer to run with his game and which he was not allowed to run at the fairs, it being too much of a gambling enterprize. I took my watch in to the jewelers and had it fixed so that it would run soberly instead of making an hour in about fifty four minutes. I also got a nice copy of "The Angelus" for Marj. for Christmas I was the first of the Shorthorn Breeders at Bramhill's office and it was some time before enough drifted in to warrant starting the meeting, however Ham, Lorne Forrest, and two fellows I didnt know Duckfoot and Blayney came in so we got started and then Charlie Dunkin and some Murphy from Walsingham arrived much later. Ham was president and Bramhill secretary and the discussion that followed consisted principally of Bramhill reading forms of bylaws and business {illegible} by other clubs and suggesting that we adopt them. Ham asking for the opinion of the assembly, me moving that all resolutions be adopted some one else seconding the motion and the rest signifying assent in the usual manner. Lorne Forest did make a few remarks about patronizing the shows more and also in his most oratorical style gave us his opinions in the same manner he did at a former meeting concerning the influence feed has in making animals either scrubs or pure breds (in appearance). Charlie Dunkin also made some sensible suggestions but the others might as well not have been there except to give formal authority for our actions. I came away before the rest in order to catch the five o'clock car but the business was about wound up. We formed an association named it The Norfolk Shorthorn Breeders Association adopted a set of bylaws decided to carry on an "Abolish the Scrub Bull" campain to organize a calf club and to ask the Dominion Shorthorn breeders for a grant for the County Fair. I got home in time to help Dad. milk. To-night Dad. and Enah went out to the Shand's school entertainment as
