BURGESS HARD P. HARRIS
* VICTIM OF AUTO WRECK.
Burgesss Hard P. Harris has been
housed up at his home, on east How-
ard street, as the result of injuries
sustained on June 26th, when the
personal car of Charles E. Dorworth,
Secretary of Forests and Waters,
and driven by himself, was wrecked
on the Nittany valley highway at
the junction of the road leading into
Hecla park.
Neither of the men have been able
to explain just how the accident
happened. They left Bellefonte at
-2.30 o'clock in the afternoon, ex-
pecting to drive to Fishing creek
and from there to Williamsport. A
hard rain storm had passed over
Nittany valley a short time before
. and the road was wet and slippery.
As they neared the park road the
car skidded, struck a telephone pole
‘ and rebounded into the bank on the
opposite side of the road.
| The crash threw Secretary Dor-
worth from his seat behind the steer-
ing wheel against burgess Harris and
the combined weight of the two men
broke the door from its fastenings
and Harris fell out, alighting on
his head. Dorworth fell out on top
'of Harris. The car came within an
.ace of toppling over -on them.
'Dorworth escaped with minor in-
i juries but burgess Harris was not so
| fortunate, He was brought to the
| Centre County hospital where it was
| found that no bones were broken
| but he was badly bruised and suf-
| fered from shock.
| He was left at the hospital until
{ Monday of last" week when he was
removed to his home at his own
solicitaton and is now able to be
feet as he generally is.

FARMER'S NATIONAL
NOW A DIVIDEND PAYER.
At the July meeting of the direc-
it was unanimously decided to dis-
burse some of the earnings of the
institution in the form of a divi-
dend. Accordingly, a dividend of
$1,00 per share was declared payabie
July 31, 1930, to stock-holders of
holders of record on June 30, 1930.
This puts the Farmers in the divi-
dend paying class after only two
and a half years since its opening,
which is a decidedly creditable
showing. :
The bank was started modestly,
it has made no drives for business,
and yet has had a most éncourag-
ing ‘'matural growth. At ‘present
its resources aggregate over a
‘quarter of a million dollars, and
the face of the evident slowing up
of business. This, in itself, is a sig-
nificant matter, for it shows that
the Farmers National is being trec-
and courteously conducted banking
institution that is gaining public
confidence.

RINNE
NEW STUDEBAKER PRICES
EFFECTIVE YESTERDAY.
Yesterday, July 10, pricéS on all
models of Studebaker made cars
were reduced, so that the }ne of
champions, from ‘the President
Eight” down to the ‘Studebaker
Six” offer a most unusual price
range.
“The President” and “The Comman-
der” are two cars that have proven
their greatness, both as to perform-
ance and appearance, and when it
comes to buying a car that will com-
pare with any that cost twice as
much they rightfully command the
attention of prudent buyers.
“The Dictator” and “The Stude-
baker Six” are in the class of more
$1415 down to $795. The latter
should be especially attractive to
those who want to keep under a
thousand dollars in their motor in-
vestment, for it presents the oppor- |
tunity to own a Studebaker, with all
around but not quite as spry on his
tors of the Farmers National Bank
