Papa went to Waterloo this morning.  He brought a 1 doz. fruit jars along, so far we bought 2 dozens.  This afternoon he hauled 2 loads of coal.  Leona & kids came up after the oil this afternoon.  We all went out to Aunt Mary’s this evening, but she was at Oscar Birkner’s, peeling apples for apple butter tomorrow.  Papa went up to Griffins this morning & paid our pew rent $27.00 to Joe, he can give it to the priest.  Clarence Wagner started school in Hecker today again, he got homesick at Red Bud, he went there a 1 week, & this week they had to bring him back up here again, he wouldn’t eat no more down there.
