Adam had been living in his sister's home for the past month while Mrs. Bennett was being cared for by her daughter in the city. Details appear elsewhere in the Plaindealer.

(Or More!!) If that caption confuses you, what would a household of fifteen youngsters do for your equilibrium?

Their story was so spectacular with the birth of their fifteenth wee one on the couple's second wedding anniversary, Monday, Jan. 28, they broke into large headlines, pictures, and accompanying story in one of the Chicago papers.

For interesting statistics, the family consumes fifteen gallons of milk, thirty-five loaves of bread, and fifty lbs of potatoes per week, plus all the other goodies. Three pounds of pancake mix goes for one meal. How would you like that grocery bill? Mrs. Gibson does her own laundry. She has worn out one automatic washer and is now using the wringer type, but plans on another automatic as soon as finances permit. On occasion, Mrs. Bertha Lee helps out in this department. But she does have plenty of help from the children. •Virginia's mother, Mrs. Dominic Bruxer of Johnsburg, has been giving her a little respite with the kiddies by caring for the four youngest until the schedule with li'l Hank is worked out.
