Eastman Battery Service Station INFORMATION FOR AUTOMOBILE OWNERS— Those wishing to house their cars during the Winter months should bear in mind: First—-This their batteries as well as the water cooling system requires constant attention. Batters fully charged will not freeze. See following table: SPECIFIC GRAVITY OF BATTERY SOLUTION. 1280 Full Charge Freezes at 60 below zero 1260 Charge Freezes at 40 below zero 1225 Charge Freezes at 30 below zero 1160 Charge Freezes at 30 below zero 1150 Discharged Freezes at 20 above zero When a battery freezes it is ruined beyond economical repair. Your salvation lies in the fact that your battery is practically safe when it is a little more than one-half charged. Your Generator is designed to keep your Battery full, but, remember all things conspire to deplete your Battery during cold weather. It is advisable to take frequent gravity readings. Buy a Hydrometer. They are inexpensive. Then test your Batteries frequently and keep them full or nearly so. WINTER STORAGE FOR BATTERIES NOT IN USE Your Battery is an electrochemical combination. If your car is laid Up for the winter, the Battery should be put in storage in a Battery Service Station where it can be charged and watered once a month. If the Battery is not kept charged, it will sulphate, which means ruination. We have established a complete Battery Service Station at our Garage.

Grand Junction Sentinel: A large rail saw arrived in the city today and will be placed on the third division in a few days. It has been working on the road between Denver and Ogden for a long while. When the cars travel over the rails, where they are joined together, the wheel of the car hits the edge of the rail, and, with continued traveling, the rail becomes flat. When the rail is flat, it spreads out and injures the flange on the wheel. This rail saw will cut off about 3 inches from each rail and, from this shortage about 20 miles of new rails have to be put in between Denver and Ogden. Several miles of new rails will be placed on the third division now. This will make traveling safer on all divisions of the Rio Grande and derailments, caused by poor flanges on cars, will be greatly lessened. Carbondale Item:—Now, to go on after being interrupted by the fat man, what about that new county move? The publicity given the matter by Glenwood during the senatorial campaign has set many of the people in the district concerned to thinking very seriously. More than ever they realize the need of the new county, and more reasonable than ever it looks to them. Never before were the advantages of a new county so fully appreciated. Now, Dick, don't butt in on this little discussion for fear you may find yourself out of place again. Then, too, you sidestep the issue and evade the real question. Just stick away. To our faithful old friends, and our cherished new friends, and to those whose friendship we strive to deserve, we tender this greeting. Greeting May the New Year be a prosperous and happy one; may joy and recompense come to you, and may it be our privilege to add to your success.
