Heretofore it baa been _ neces sary to keep' u day fo ree anti a- nigh t force and even this could not keep up with the work and the addition of this great machine waa necessary. _\ The part about the matter which particularly pleases thia office ls that the machine came and waa s?,t up and put In first claaa condition by one of our own men.
