It is raining this morning. We got our beets in from the garden here & the truck patch, we got 5 quts & 1/2. Mrs. Katie Klotz was here this morning to see if she could get a can of cistern water at Uncle Fred’s place, because they are getting the thrashers this evening, & they wanted the water to wash the dishes. Papa went up to Eichenseers, & went along out with Vic & Odillo, to fix Henry pump, they put 5 ft. pipings on it, there is 30 ft. of water in it yet. Papa called up for Rosalia to come out & bring some wrenches along from the store. Mrs. Klotz was telling me about a fire at Albert Gregson’s on Tues. night, the road men had a fire burning the grass on piles, & they left without putting the fire out, & during the night the fire creeped & burned all the way through the woods, nearly too the house, they just got it out in time. George Lorberg was called with a tank of water on his truck & also Joe Shilling’s, Louis Armstutz’s & a fire apartment, I don’t know if it was Smithon’s [sic] or Red Buds, fire out later, it happened around 12 o’clock in the night that is when George Lorberg left. This evening we went out & lawend [sic] at the cemetery, & looked at Frank’s pigs, sheep. Eggs are 12¢ now.

Leona went out to get the mail yesterday afternoon & she ran back to the house & stumbled & cut a big gash in her chin down to the bone. The doctor put a piece of plaster over it to heal, if it don’t heal shut that way then she will have to get it sewed together.

It happen to be a nice day after all. We found 8 eggs today. Henry came up this morning to get his machine from the garage, but it wasn’t finished yet. So he came down here for dinner and afterwards went back up again. Then about four o’clock he left for home, but when he got to the corner his machine stopped and then he got Vic Eichenseer to look after it. So he got it started again, he left. When he got between Schneiders and Kammlers it stopped again. He called up Steve Rheinecker’s to call Papa over to the telephone to bring the Whippet out there. During that while he came up to Braun’s & had a little talk with him (and) told him to come out & pull it in. So Papa and Henry went out to where his machine was & got the Whippet passed there. So Henry could get home. Papa walked home. Papa got his hair cut this morning. Willie Birkner dug a well on his place today. Louis and Oscar were doing it for him. Bill Birkner bought Mrs. Lorberg’s place.
