LITTLE ACT LED TO FORTUNE.
ResoureefuIness Earned Poor Boy Aid
of Wealthy Man and Gave Him
Start Toward Riches.

Head Of the great Paris stores which
In the French capital. NJ. Dufayel was
one of the richest men in Paris, with
many business interests outside the ia
nous stores.
He was a man who had risen from
the bottom rung of the ladder, and
once related to an interviewer how he
had won the 20 francs which were the
modest beginnings of his fortune, a
writer In London Tit-Bits says.
A wealthy, self-made man, whom M.
Dufayel spoke of as ", sat watch
ing children playing on the sea beach.
One little girl was in despair because
her balloon was floating out TO sea be-
yond her reach. He offered 20 francs
to the boy who should recover the bal
loon. Three bare-legged boys build
ing castle took turns in trying to Sc
cure the prize. The first two attempted
10 wade out, but failed TO reach the
balloon. The third laughed at their
failure, borrowed francs from X,
threw the money to a boatman and got
him to bring i'm the lost toy. NJ. Du-
fayel was the third boy.
The sequel followed in true story
book fashion. X. was impressed by
the lads resource, took him into his
Office, and so gave him the chance of
advancement of which he was quick to
avail himself. NJ. Dufayel had all the
genius of n great business organizer,
even as a boy, when he entered the
Crepin store in Paris. He married NJ.
Crepin's widow and founded the gigan-
tic business at the Montmartre end Of
the Boulevard SebastOpol, which sells
anything and everything.
Ideas came to NJ. Dufayel at every
turn. He collected rents weekly from
people who could not keep them "a
whole quarter, and paid them TO the
concierges i'm due time when the ten
ant himself might otherwise have had
only promises to offer. He carried the
credit system-he had great furni-
ture business-to fine art. Every
year he gave n freehold furnished home
to one of his employees.

HIGHER FARE FIGHT STARTS
Senate Committee Reports Out Bill
Favorine Rail Rate increases.

Lansing-The battle Of the railroads
for an increase of passenger fares
from two to two and a half cents a
mile in the lower peninsula, is for
mally under way.
The senate committee on railroads
reported favorably on the measure, af-
after cutting out the provision that
permits railroads to charge 10 per
cent extra from passengers who do
not purchase tickets but tender cash
to conductors.
The bill permits railroads with more
than $1,000 gross income mile 10
charge two and one-hali cents a mile,
while roads earning under that may
charge three cents a mile. The upper
peninsula roads charge three cents
without reference TO the 1920 limit.
Formidable opposition against the
bill is lining up in the house. Many
shippers in the state, anxious that pas
sengers should bear part of the in
creased burden of railroad operation,
are urging legislators to support the
increased fare bill. The house lead
ers nevertheless seem disposed to in
sist on commission to make an in
vestigation and report to the next leg
islatdre.
Representative Wiley, of the 500.
leader Of the opposition that two years
ago killed the measure, favors an in
vestigation and is expected to offer
a substitute to that effect

System of Nation to Be Guarded
BY Militia.

Washington-Whil the Thirty-third
Michigan infantry was on its way
back to Detroit from the border on
Monday, orders were issued by the
war department to hold the troops in
service.
The Thirty-third will guard trans
portation centers in Michigan, Gen.
Mann, chief of the militia bureau, an
nounced. 1t will be placed under COM
mand of Gen. Thomas II. Barry, at
Chicago, in command of the central
division and will undoubtedly be sta
toned in Michigan.
Troops from 2S other states have
been called into federal service and
ordered to mobilize Immediately.
The locks at Sault Ste. Marie, the
St Clair ship canal, the Livingstone
channel below Detroit and all other
narrows in the ship channel from Du-
luth to Buffalo, will be guarded by
the Michigan troops and other mill
tiamen, ii was said at the war depart
ment.
Secretary Baker, in calling out the
militia, hopes to protect all of the vi
tai spots in the internal transporta-
tion system of the nation. Nowhere is
there more vital link than the lake
channels. Through them would be
transported iron and copper ore for
munitions manufacture and wheat and
other breadstuffs from the great
northwest. These supplies could be
shut off by explosion of single blast
of dynamite, upheaving the locks, the
ship canal at the Flats or the Living
stone channel.
Ever since the beginning of the war,
Canadian authorities have maintained
a strict guard over the Canadian
locks at the 500, the Welland canal
and other Canadian works on the
lakes and in the St. Lawrence river.
The troops will also guard all inn
portant railroad ceDters. The freight
yards at Detroit and Toledo will be
guarded and the Detroit water supply
intakes at industrial plants in Detroit,
now engaged in the manufacture of
goods vitally needed in evnt of war.
The yards of the American Shipbuild-
ing Co. and the Great Lakes Engineer
ing works will probably be pro
tected

DISEASES AND PESTS OF CHERRY TREES

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture)
Cherries are subject to number of
insect pests and fungous diseases that
occur more or less commonly in most
regions. The timely and systematic
use of insecticides and fungicides will
usually prevent serious loss. Some
varieties of sweet cherries crack bad
ly, however, If weather conditions are
unfavorable, and when cracking does
occur it is difficult or even impossible
to prevent losses from decay.
Among the commoner insect of eco
nomic Importance in cherry growing
may be mentioned the cherry aphis,
curculio, and slug. The San Jose scale
often attacks sweet cherry trees, but
rarely occurs so abundantly on sour
varieties as to require spraying.

ter the leaves appear they can be ap-
piled to the trunk and main limbs with
a brush. The best and cheapest rem
edy is prevention by keeping all trees
vigorous.
In the case of apple, pear, and other
trees which do not exude gum to any
extent, it is a question of Judgment
whether it will be possible to save
trees attacked by this insect. If the
infestation is rather severe, it usually
indicates that the tree is beyond hope
of saving. Individual branches on
trees may often show attack by this
insect and should be promptly re-
moved and burned to prevent further
increase and spread of the borer.

war Attracts Little Attention in Japan.

The Tokyo Jill warns its readers
not to lose sight of the war situation
in Europe, although the attention of
the nation is liable 10 be centered on
the April election. Japan's response
bility is very great. She has become
an object of hatred on the part OF
Germany, because she wrested Tsing-
tau and the South Sea islands from
her. While Japan was actually en-
gagged In warfare in the Orient, the
people showed sufficient interest in the
situation, but now that she is prac-
tislly unengaged in warfare the at.

LAPSE OF MEMORY

An unusual case has come under the
care of DR.. W. w. Crook in the person
Of a young man signing his name at the
Hotel Colorado, as Frank G. Donald of
London, England, from which country
he claims to have come in 1909.
DR.. Crook says he rs in perfect physi-
cal condition, is good polo and golf
player and seemingly without defect,
except an entire loss of memory
The young man gives no evidence of
dissipation but seems to be most ,x.
emplary in his habits and Sheriff Fra
vert and physicians who have examined
him have been greatly puzzled as to the
young mans conduct while in Glen
wood.
He was taken to the Glenwood sani.
tarium where he was given the best
care possible.
Yesterday there arrived in Glenwood
a MIR. James, prominent business MAJ
of Denver, and learning of this peculiar
case he called to see the young man and
found him to be F. P. MacNicholas
who had visited at the James home in
Denver and who left there so suddenly
and mysteriously as to cause Mr.. James
much apprehension as to his where
abouts and condition.
So solicitous was Mr.. James concern.
ing the young man that he reported the
case to the Denver police department
and asked assistance in locating him.
Mr.. James regards it as most happy
conicident that upon his arrival in Glen
wood he should find Mr.. MacNicholas,
for that is his real name, although very
unfortunate that he should be in this
lamentable condition.
Mr.. James knows the young man s
father who is wealthy wool merchant
in Canada and he left yesterday for
Denver with the young man who will
be given the best Of medical attention
and kept until his father can reach him
and take him to his Canadian home.
The case is one Of the most peculiar
which. has ever come under the notice
Of our people.
