The machinery for A. Henriksen's
new potato pit arrived Tuesday and
will be installed in the near future.
With this equipment the front end
of trucks or wagons can be lifted up
to a height Of four feet and the po-
tatoes will roll gently into the pit
underneath and from there be ele-
waited into the building. 1t will
greatly reduce the usual time of un-
loading and thus be big time saver
for the man who is hauling.

V. Heininge. The first of this week
they took a trip up through the
Range country where the latter visit
ed relatives at Virginia. They plan

A few weeks ago the Service Gar
age installed a modern and complete
valve grinding machine, which by
the way costs something more than
$780, The unit consists of three
separate motors which grind in the
valves at high speed and surely
makes a perfect job. The valves are
ground so accurately into the seat in
the block that the weight of the
valve alone, without and spring at
tached to it, will resist 10 pounds of
air pressure, special air pressure
tester is included in the outfit and
each valve is tested and must resist
10 pounds of air pressure by it's own
weight. 1t takes practically as long
to grind valves with this new outfit
as it does by the old hand method,
but the workmanship is far superior
to the old style.
