two halfacre plots one clay loam and the other lighter soil which we think will do for our potatoes. Lorne wasn't home but left word for us to pick out what we wanted. I went over Jack's when we got through and worked till noon and then put in the after noon over there. Dad. and Frank moved some hay over to the horse stable this morning and this after noon Frank went down and got the money from Mr. Walker and sent a check to Johnson for his potatoes and clover seed. They plowed some more of the plum orchard. To-night. I went down and saw Marj. for awhile. It has been cold and raw all day.

Saturday April 13th

I went over to Jack's this morning and fed up and then came back and helped Dad. put on the jag of hay for the cow stable. I was over at Jack's all the after noon. Frank finished plowing the plum orchard this morning and this after noon he and Dad. worked on the back field and got on fairly well. Frank and I went down town to-night and I had my hair cut and hung around town till midnight. The Day light saving plan came into operation to-night and all the clocks were put on one hour. It is funny to hear the comments of those who up hold and oppose the bill. i am rather in favor of it as I think it will benefit the country as a whole although it may make it a little awkward for us farmers during haying and harvest when there are heavy dews but otherwise I can' t see how it will affect us in the least, but some people. Dad. and Aunty among them can't under stand how it is that they aren't going to lose and hour's sleep in the morning, but I think they will find they depend more on the clock than they suppose. It has been a lovely sunny day.

Sunday April 14th

I didn't get up till seven o'clock (new time) this morning and was too late for Sunday school but Frank went down on his wheel and Enah and I drove down to church, our church ran on new time but others didn't as they thought the people in the country didn't all know about it. Miss Morgan and Miss Newell came in just as church was over. Elva invited Marj. and me through
