Cov. Hardee has been receiver of
the Federal-American National Bank

will take over the Commercial in ad

rest of the 100 per cent to deposi
tors.

paid out 50 per cent to depositors.
and is now In condition to pay an
other dividend. The exact amount of
the dividend, and when It will be
paid, have not yet been disclosed. But

mercial’s receivership to this office in
the interests of economy has not been

AIR-PRESSURE SHIFT
WARMS NEW ENGLAND
B1 the Associated Press.
CAMBRIDGE, Mass.. February
25.—Absence of a northwest wind
which usually sweeps away the pre
vailing warm air, was described by
Harvard University’s weather exnert
last night as the reason for the mild
New England Winter and the cold
waves in the West.
Changes in the location of high
air pressure has brought cold to the
Mid-West and warmth to the North
east. Dr. Charles P. Brooks, director
of the Blue Hill Observatory, reported.
He would not comment on possible
colder weather before Spring. He said
warm tropical winds from the South
had prevented snow from forming.
