ado away with the pork barrel sys-
teni-lets get down to really eff
cient system of government expendi-
lures" This is the cry heard from
one end of the United States to the
other. Newspapers talk it, public
speakers crate it,street corner crowds
discuss it, college professors preach
it. Listening to the talk the Man from
Mars would think that pork was
doomed. Oh, how mistaken he would
be. Why this whole country is built
OH pork-its Il national tradition, an
institution, and the same folks that
are so busy decrying it as national
policy are even buster working for 1t
when it looks like they might get a
slice of the government roast.
Let's take a look around Colorado
and see how many people are really
sincere when they advocate the doing
away of the pork barrel system.
"Boost for a munitions plant at Pu-
eblo," is the almost unanimous advice
OF the press of the state. at will
bring millions of dollars to the indus
try of the state, and the enormous
payroll will make more money for
all of u.s." (Pork.)
''Sure Fort Logan ought to be big
military post" says the Golden man,
''think of the money that will be spent
in Denver. 1t also would probably
mean that the rifle range would be
used for mobilization. Say, wouldn't
that mean great times for Golden?'

Last December Adjutant General
Chase asked the students at the Agri-
cultusal college at Fort Collins to
'f0ffn militia company In order that
the $50, 600 battery equipment would
not be taken from Colorado by the
war department. OPork.) General
Chase promised. II the company were
formed, to have the state build an
armory. (Pork) 1t now appears that
the state funds are not sufficient to
build the armory so the college pro-
fessors and The ColIegian, official
newspaper of the college, say that
they think it perfectly proper for the
men not to drill until the promise is
carried out. (Pork.)
In Greeley the newspapers are urg-
ing men to join the national guard be-
cause 'the state is now building ar
mories for the various companies

The Golden armory is one of the
most beautiful buildings in the state"
yes, the Transcript is equally guilty,
and every person should support the
local militia company II more men
are recruited m ore money will come
from the United States War Depart
ment to equip the army and buy sup
plies" (Pork.)
Sure, let's do away with the pork
barrel system. It's a mighty bad
thing-for the rest of the country
but right here at home we need
whole lot of state and government
aid for projects that will really be
BEN fit to the whole country. Pork
why we should say not-that is mere
ly aid given us for a project that will
mean lot to the entire United States.

NEW EMPIRE IS
TO BE EXHIBITED
Model 45 Is Latest Product
DiStinctiveness Is Noticeable
Throughout This Car

Model 45, a new four-cylinder type,
is announced as the latest addition to
the line of the Empire Automobile
Company. The new type is by far the
company'S most pretentious effort in
a four" being larger in every way
than any car of the type heretofore
produced and marked by notable re-
finment throughout.
In appearance the new model. which
is priced at $685., is a distinctive car.
The general design is similar to that
of the popular Empire six" with full
streamlina cruiser type body, having
curved cowl and high rolled sides.
The long wheelbase. 116 inches, per-
in every dimension. The Streamline
effect is heightened by the incorpor-
alton of double cowl for tonneau, the
top of front seat being wide rolled
surface to form this secondary cowl.
Another feature in the new model.
notable for its departure from the
usual custom in this price class, is
found in the standard finish of the
car. The color scheme is a beautiful
shade of autumn brown with running
gear to match, and in keeping with
the color is the upholstering in genuine
Spanish leather of a shade to match.
Although there is considerable in
crease in size in this type there is a
noticeable elimination of all unneces-
sary parts. This practice allows of
extra strength in driving parts and at
the same time gives light car weight
that assures economy OF operating and
upkeep expense.
The distinctiveness of this car is not
limited to outward appearance. In
the motor is found an exclusive fea-
ture in cars selling at less than $1,000,
as the T-head design is employed.
Full 40 horse power is delivered with
SIS inch bore and inch stroke at
speed of 2,100 revolutions. The oiling
system is an exclusive patented fea-
ture, ignition is by magnetic type dis
tributor of battery current while fuel

GRANT SIX HAS
MADE GOOD HERE
Popular-Priced Car Has Sc
cured Wide Distribution and
Sale in Short Time

The Grant six which has been
represented in Harrisburg for about
year by w. II. Schue, of 2412 North
Sixth street, has made remarkable
strides in that time. Mr.. Schue is
distributor for this territory and will
devote his time energetically to the
sale of this popular Six"
The manufacturers of this car have
greatly improved Ii towards the soft
operation of a siX-cylinder power
plant in a ear costing no more than
has been heretofore reckoned reason
able for rather small -Four
The new Grant Six" which is de-
signated by it's maker as model ''V'
is in several respects a larger car
motor, due to enlargement of the
cylinder diameter from 2Ts to three
inches. The wheelbase has been
heightened full six inches, making 1t
now IL inches, and this has permit
ted of much lengthening of the body
and a better proportioning through
out. With these more important diff
ferences, the new Grant also has been
considerably refined in number of
details which, though they do not
show on the surface, help to make
the car a better vehicle mechanically.
For example, the brake size has been
enlarged to give greater ability to stop
-
steering gear improvement, a slight
added feature to the clutch, and the
front axle has been increased in size.
The new body lines are the first
thing to be noticed when inspecting
the car. The popular trend has been
carried out, and a modification of
what is known as the boat line design
is used. The sides of the body have
been somewhat raised, and the> cowl
also is brought up higher, with very
little difference between the slope of
hood and front of car. The hood also
is higher, and, though the radiator
retains the characteristic Grant round
form. 1t is larger and more smoothly
built. In the rear full three-pas-
senger seating capacity is attained by
the length of the seat.
Mechanically, the Grant Six en-
ploys the design wherein the power
plant unit takes in clutch and gearset,
an dthe rear axle, unit incorporates a
torsion tube surrounding the drive
shaft. The engine now is 5 by Az
inches, the gearset has three selec-
tive speeds, and the clutch is a cope
type. Other specifications include At
water-Kent ignition, Allis-Chalmers
lighting and starting, floating rear
axle and cantilever rear springs.
The motor is of overhead valve de-
sign, with the valve rods running up
from the left side. The Bowers Com
pany has secured a splendid list of
dealers throughout this territory.

to hear some of the excuses our
missionaries are putting up to the

And some men never realize how
