Dale has his threshing done and his hired man enlisted in the army this week. We were glad to be able to help Grace move to our house in Madison, but it was a job she couldn't have done alone. Cal did all kinds of things to make things more convenient for her and we think she is now comfortably settled before cold weather comes. Noel James, we think, is over seas. We have had no word from him for four weeks, when he called his mother by phone from N.Y. City, the port of embarkation.
Some parents say they have had to wait six weeks before hearing from sons who have gone across.
We stopped to see Amelia on our way home from Madison. It is about the first time she has had to have care since she has lived in Fennimore, which is remarkable. Gus Heinselman is Pres. We meet 4 times a year at different towns for a dinner. We must get our storm windows on while these fine days last for we know an Iowa winter is ahead.
