We cleaned chicken house; put in clean straw. Hy Meng got 2 hogs, 234 & 147 lbs. We went to Belleville sold 12 doz. eggs 35¢ doz; did Christmas shopping; nice day again. A ambulance went through here at 8 o clock this evening. Papa got a new battery put in the Whippet yesterday for $5.00 from Probst. Wagners telephone didn’t work, this morning, so Clara came over here & talked.

We went out to Uncle Freds, & finished the hay & also a dress, we where there for lunch, dinner.  We took her along up as far as Hy. Birkner’s to help for thresher’s, on our way home.  This afternoon Mr. Hill was here collecting telephone dues.  In the evening we drove to Freeburg to see Ed. Classin about some wire, but it is the same price as Hecker, so we didn’t take any.  We stopped at Barthel’s & paid the Whippet battery recharged for $1.50.  When we got home George Wagner came over & said Henry was calling for us, so I called out but got no answer.
