New York, N. Y.--Edgar Allan

versity, hat the author OF The Raw
en-" with ten others had been accorded
this honor. The eleven names added
are as follows:
Harriet Beecher Stowe, "a votss;i

Ian Poe, SO votes each;. Roger VII
liams, "a; James Fenimore Cooper, 81;
Phillips Brooks, 60; William Cullen

Andrew Jackson, George Bancroft, 50
each; and John Lathrop Motley, 81. .
The total number of ballots cast was
81 and the number required for choice
was 81. Poe's vote jumped from ~
in 1905 to So, an increase of q votes
An analysis of the vote shows that or
this SO votes 81 were cast by college
presidents, IT by professors of history
and scientists, IS by publicists. ediI
tors and authors and 13 by jurists.
Contrary to the general impression, the
memory of the melancholy poet is as
famous in the west as in the south,
according to the vote. Since the last
election, his fame increased more
among college presidents than among
any of the other groups.
AS a result of the election the auth
or's corner doubles it's population and
goes far ahead of the statesmen in
number. Eleven bronze tablets for
the names chosen will be designed with
an appropriate quotation from the
words of each, and the formal unveil-
ing will take place in October, 1911. in
the hall of fame at New York Univer-
sity.
In the vote for women the names
chosen are those of women who were
not eligible at the last election, not
having been dead ten years at that
time. Of those who were voted for in
the last election, but still lack the nee
essary votes, Charlotte Saunders Cush-
man, shows a gain from 80 to As votes,
Martha Washington from 80 to 43, and
Lucretia Mott from 33 to A..

uros are somewhat large and perhaps hard
to grasp.
The farmers are the subject Of severe
criticism for their extravaganza In buying
automobiles. Yet the very fact that they
are doing so IL the underlying reason for
their being able to buy them. More plainly
speaking, the farmers are getting their
automobiles, and. In fact, are getting them
without cost This statement upon first
thought, may appear absurd, but let us re-
verse the process Of reasoning and see II
Il is not true. The farmers by expanding
millions Of dollars for the comforts ana
enjoyment OF hfe-even for the luxuries,
II you will-are creating enormous oppor-
tunities for the employment OF labor. The
employment OF that labor, In turn, Increases
the consuming and purchasing power OF
labor, with the resulting increase IN the
value OF what Il purchases and consumes,
the greatest items OF which are the food
stuffs, the products Of the farm.--Leslie's

Comparisons Of she automobile with the

about 10000 horse-drawn vehicles sold
annually. This is exclusive OF farm and
delivery wagons, of which there are, In ad-
dition, about 100000 sold annually. The

horse-drawn vehicles. Il costs 70 main
tain these vehicles, figuring the horses
keep at tia5O per month each, at present
prices OF grain and hay, and without de-
probation, $50 each per Rnnum. There
fore, the 100000 vehicles, using 10000 900
horses, cost TO maintain g. 100000 per

100000 horses 10 not less than cents per

THIS new Brush model Is built on

fundamental principles that have made

There are refnements and improve

make 1t more than ever deserving of
the great reputation the Brush enjoys
among 5000 owners all over the world.
These improvements are few, and
not one Of them is radical in any way.
They are simply the result of careful
study of the car and Of the users re-
quirements.
When we designed and built the first
Brush, we were not aiming to make a
car that would sell because it was diff
ferent and low Ia price. We foresaw the
demand for a small, dependable auto
mobile that would provide a quicker,
easier and cheaper means of Transports

In the Munsey Historic Tour, the
principal endurance contest of the East
in 1910, the Brush finished with a per-
feet score and won the trophy in its
class. The route covered 1850 miles
over all kinds of roads, from the boule-
wards of New Jersey to the rough noun
tain roads of Pennsylvania.
Thousands of experienced motorists
watched the Brush travel on even terms
with the big cars on schedule design
ed for big car power and big car stabil-
ity. They saw it come through with a
perfect sC6re under conditions that put
several big cars out of the running.
They saw it prove its dependability in
way no one could doubt.
These two achievements of the Brush
are of vital Importance to the prospective
motor car buyer. The former shows
superlGtive simplicity, each shows de.
pendability.
If you use any mode of transportation
you will be doing yourself an injustice
if you do not investigate the Brush.
