The dirt here is a [illegible] as there has been no rain  Thursday August 25 1910  It was much cooler today.  Vera and I went to the fair in the afternoon.  It was late supper time when we got home.  Met among friends and had a good time.  Too cool to sit on the porch tonight.  Friday August 26, 1910  I was busy all morning as were the rest of the folks.  I made some calls.
