story will be the decision Of the i'm
migration authorities at Washington,
who will decide if Michael may re-
main in this country and become a
citizen of the United States. The
young man is healthy, sane and
sound, and it is believed there will be
no objection raised by the govern
ment. He is willing to work and as
he will not become a public charge,
III Is believed by Mr.. Mcdonald that
Michael will be granted the right of
citizenship. A complete statement
was taken yesterday afternoon by
Mr.. Mcdonald and this will be sent
to Washington in a few days, so that
a decision is expected within two
or three weeks.
Ran Away From Home
When but IA years old Michael left
his old home in Ireland for parts In
known. His parents and brothers and
sisters knew nothing of his wherea-
bouts and he seemed literally to have
disappeared from the earth. Michael
went to Scotland and later to Eng
land, where he looked for work. AZ
ter he had been wandering about for
a year Michael decided to have a look
at the other side of the globe and
when the opportunity offered he took
a trip to South America.
Then at the age of Is, Michael be-
came a cabin boy on a whaler. He
arrived at Buenos Ayres in due time
and decided to remain in that coun-
try. The o. portunities there looked
much better than they did in Eng
land or even on a boat After work
ing at various jobs for some time,
Michael obtained a homestead in the
interior.

Some Southwest
ern Reflections

Last week the theme was CO.
operation between the business
man. the farmer and the Southwest
Louisiana Development Bureau.
for the actual benefit of the bust
ness men and the farmers of this
section.
The man who has advance As tar
as the A. b. c. i'll business under
stands that when the crops fail III
any community, the merchant and
the banker suffer. The farm Is
the berometor of business. The
drought that shortens the crop also
shrivels up bank deposits makes
the loans insecure and dries up
dividends.
Also it makes the dust settle up
OH the counters and show cases OF
the merchants; empties the cash
register ,depletes the bank account,
makes all credit rare and fills the
mercantile community with lame
ducks. "
Now are we to change thisF BY
reducing the hazard i'll agriculture.
The banks and the merchants can
help the farmer at this point by
helping him to learn what other
farmers are doing under conditions
very much worse than they are III
southwest Louisiana.
They can help the farmer to get
out of the old ruts; to break loose
from the tyranny of the one-oroT
SYSTEM; to keep up the fertility OF
his soil by planting legumlnou'
which gather nitrogen from the all
and store it in the soil; to make
live stock permanent feature o
{ his efforts; to drain his lands; t.
have good roads over which t
o haul his crops to local market o.
station; to study the markets will
a view of finding out when ant
$ where high priced farm product
are in demand. and to be the spo
with the goods.
These are problems the South
west Louisiana Development
l. Bureau is working OH, and If til
y banker, the merchant and tn
Of farmer will get behind the move

lie put wheels under it and max
