PATAGONIA IS PROSPEROUS.

!
 Patagonia is prosperous-no doubt about that. Nineteen nineteen was a banner year in all lines of business and ind ustry l for this section of the great Southwest.
 No one institution reflects the prosperity of the district to a greater degree than does the l condition of the districts bank ing house.
 The First State Bank of Pata- gonia was one year old on De- cember ?, 1919, having opened it's doors for business just one year ago on that date. It's growth has been almost pheno- menal.
 A comparative statement of the condition of banks in Ari- zona, shows that the growth of this bank has been twice as fast as any bank in the state, com paratively speaking, which speaks we'll for Patagonia and the country surrounding.
 B. H. Evans of the Evans Mer- cantile company reports Q splen- did volume of business during the past year-far greater than in 1918, and expects the coming year to show a still greater in- crease.
 J. w. Miller, manager of the Patagonia Lumber company, makes the statement that his firms business increased in an amount exceeding $9,OOO over the volume of business transact. ed in 1918-and 1918 was a good year
 Val Valeuzuela, manager of the Patagonia Commercial com pany, expresses satisfaction at the volume of business transact ed during the past year, the firms sales far exceeding those made in 1918. MT. Valenzuela is confident that the coming year will be the greatest from busi- ness standpoint ever experienced in Patagonia.
 Other merchants and business men are pleased with results ob- tained during the past year and believe 1920 holds in store even greater things than ever.
 Railroad business has increas- edd at wonderful rate, but ex- act figures cannot be given out until the past months state mentS are completed.
 The volume of business trans acted at the local postoffice has ,@orol the amount of business done during the previous year, which means that Patagonia's postoffce will again be advanced to a higher grade.
 The future of Patagonia is assured, and since the future of Patagonia is assured, it's institu- tions simply can not keep from growing.
 Patagon1a's business interests will continue to grow, for we have not only the mining inter ests, but cattle and farming.
 Last year was good year, but as our industrious farmers have learned what it takes to make a crop in what is consider ed dry country, their success is assured which indirectly helps all business interests.
 A few years ago all the feed cattle received was what they got on the range, while now we can find numbers of cattlemen who are raising feed to carry their stock through the hard months, should grass become short.
 The mines are being develop ed and there is no question but what Patagonia will become one of the best mining districts in this part of the State.-The Pat tagonian.

Jacksonville, Feb. 22.-Samuel
Gompers, president of the American
Federation of Labor, is expected to
arrive here today to prepare for the
meeting of the executive council of
the federation which convenes here
Tuesday for a week or ten days.
Frank Morrison. secretary of the
federation, will reach here Monday
Other members are expected Monday
night and Tuesday.
The convening of the conference
here will mark a radical departure
from precedent, in that this will be
the first time the body has met o:c-
tally outside Washington or New
York, except when it came together
incident to the convening of the fed
Grafton. The decision to meet here
was prompted by desire of the coun-
Gil to get away from the possibility of
unnecessary interruption during its
deliberations.

LINCOLN'S EULOGY
ON WASHINGTON
ASSOCIATED Pressl

New York, Feb. 22.-What is said
to be the only eulogy by Lincoln upon
Washington was found in copies of
an old newspaper at the Congression-
a! Library in Washington by Lucien
Hugh Alexander, of Philadelphia, who
gave the text to the Associated Press
yesterday. 1t was delivered at Spring
field. H.. 78 years ago today.
The tribute to Washington was the
final paragraph on another subject 1t
fellows:
"This is the one hundred and tenth
anniversary of the birthday of Wash
iEgton. We are met to celebrate this
day. Washington is the mightiest
name on earth, long since mightiest
in the cause of civil liberty; still
mightiest in moral reformation. On
that name an eulogy is expected. 1t
cannot be- To add brightness to the
sun or glory to the name of Washing
ton is alike impossible. Let none at
tempt it. In solemn awe pronounce
the name and in its naked, deathless
splendor, leave it shining on"

CASTOR BEAN CLAIMANTS
Senator Fletcher Informed They are
Being Given Special
Consideration
War Department,

War Department,
Office of the Director of Air Service,
Washington, February 20, 1920.
Senator Duncan u. Fletcher:
rear Sir: Knowing your interest
in the early settlement of the castor
bean claims, especially those of the
sub-contractors or growers. | am TAX
ing the liberty of furnishing you with
the following information:
The matter of settlement of the
castor bean claims is being given
special attention by thsi board. A
separate division of the board. con-
sisting of five members, is now giving
it's time especially to the settlement
of the castor bean claims. Partial
awards have been and are now being
made to the several prime contractors
as soon as an investigation and audit
of their prime contractors claim can
be made. Three hundred and eleven
sub contractors or growers claims,
all from Florida. have been passed by
this board and will be paid without
delay, which will be in a very short
time.
The plan adopted by the board for
the settlement of these claims is to
give the prime contractor a partial
award and to hold their final awards
until after all the sub-contractors
have been settled with. In settling
with the sub-contractors an award
will be made to the prime contractor
for each sub-contractor. From this
amount will be deducted certain items
agreed to in writing by the sub-con-
tractor; the amount then remaining
due the sub-contractor will be for
warded by the finance division of the
war department direct to the sub.
contractor in a check made payable
to the prime contractor and endorsed
over to teh sub-contractor, and left
with the finance division of the army
to be delivered to the sub-contractor
Every effort is being made to ex.
pedite the settlement of all these
claims, especially those of the sub
contractors.
Hoping that this will be of interest
to you. am. Very truly yours,
William J. Kendrick,
Colonel S. E., o. S. A, Chairman
Claims Board, Air Service.
