Oct. 24, 25, & 26 1914

Sat. Oct 24

Worked. Nice Day. Turned out quite warm. $2.25 not much to do.

Sun. Oct 25

Fine & a little cool. Had my new clothes on but did not go out of house. Read paper & did lessons all day. West beat East yesterday 33 to 0. Minnesota beat Iowa 7 to 0. There was a 100 mile race at fair grounds yesterday. The record was broken for that distance.

Mon. Oct 26

Cold but bright. About freezing (33 or 4) all day. 

Jay is not going to take his gas car to school any more so I took Horace Lowry taxi.
Wore my new suit, & brown hat - but got mad at hat & bought a cap in afternoon. Walked to town from school. Also got a school book (unclear word, likely the text book he got) Came home & Stew, Walt, Cliff & I had good signal practice & scrimmage lots of fun.

Did lessons & to bed.

Author note: At this time Horace Lowry was the president of the Twin City Rapid Transportation Company. So I think a Horace Lowry Taxi means the street car.
