During home coming week all the
children gathered home once more,
had picnic dinner at the park on
Home Corners day, and were the
observed of all observers. A few
days before they left for their respec-
tive homes, they went back to the old
homestead, where Prince Buss now
lives, and had neighborhood picnic
and reunion. They also visited Den
ninger's studio and had three group
pictures taken, one OF the entire fam
lily, one of the father and sons and
the third of the mother and daughters.
This is remarkable record and
one of which the family, and every
friend of the family, can justly be
proud. Can record parallel to this

Electrical Inventions.

A Jersey City inventor has pro-
duced an electric egg beaten for hotels
and restaurants where eggs are used
in large quantities. Like most elect
rical devices, it is a case of you press
the button and the machine does the
rest. The beater consists of a verti-
cal support, with an arm holding the
eggbeater shaft. Below this is an ad-
Unstable bracket, provided with a
bowl, in which the eggs are placed.
By pressing the button the beaten is
set to revolving swiftly in the bowl,
and quickly produces the desired re-
suit.
'The ElectrOlyzer" is a device for
producing a clothes bleaching liquid
by electricity from ordinary salt brine.
The new method, it is claimed, saves
linen, takes the place of chloride of
lime, or other bleaches, and reduces
the cost of the bleach from thirty to
ninety per cent. The new machine
can be used in laundries, paper mills,
pulp mills, cotton mills etc.
A new electrical device has just
been patented to press suits while you
wait-with the clothes on. Electric
heated plates, which are squeezed to-
gether by levers, are used to put the
creases in the trousers.
The longest transmission line in the
world is that from DeSabla to Sause-
length is 232 miles. The transmission
line from Niagara Falls to Syracuse
is 165 miles long and is next to the De
Saba line in length.

In 1927 Daniel Buss, now a resident
of Darlington, eighty years of age,
was born in County Kent, England
Three years later, in 1880, Mary Ann
Jones was also born, in the same
county. In 1S49 Mr.. Buss and Miss
Jones were married and came to
America in 1850, ard for two years
lived at Buffalo, New York.
In 1852 they moved to Wisconsin
and settled on a farm in Kendall, La
fayette county, and lived there until
1894, when they moved to Darlington,
where they have since resided.
There were born to Mr.. and Mrs.
Buss twelve children-eight boys and
four girls, all but two of whom were
born on the old homestead. There
are now in addition to the father and
mother and twelve children, twenty
seven grandchildren and six great
grandchildren, and there has never
been death in the family. The
names and residences of the children
are as follows, beginning with the

TOWN INFORMATION BUREAU.
Scheme For Benefting Strangers In
Community.

Community.
When a stranger moves into a town
there are certain problems which at
once confront him, such as what to do
with his ashes and garbage, what pub
lie school his children should attend,
what taxes he should pay and when
and where, says the Municipal Journal
and Engineer. There are certain ordi-
nances also which he should observe,
such as that requiring cleaning the
snow from his sidewalk within GER
tain time after each storm, not using
a lawn sprinkler during certain hours,
etc. Too often the citizen is Informed
of such an ordinance only when its
penalty is enforced against him.
We do not know of any way in
which n greater general benefit could
be conferred by q citizens society than
by the compiling, publishing and gen.
eral distribution of a pamphlet, giving
in the briefeSt possible form the infor-
nation suggested above, in connection
with which it would be desirable to
give the names and office addresses Of
the various city officials and q state
ment as to what particular function of
the city government and maintenance
appertains to each I've would also
suggest that certain member of the
society or possibly one for each ward
or other subdivision of the city be
named as 4 committee on complaints,
TO whom any citizen may report what
he considers q dereliction of any Off
cial or city employee, or, If it would
seem too great a burden TO impose
upon one willing citizen TO make him
the mouthpiece for universal COM
plant, he could act as an information
bureau and instruct citizens toncerp-
ing what department or individual OF
the city government complaints should
be made TO.
