Frank Bonaime's Unsuitable ap-
petite for things mechanical and
a more than casual approach to
all the major sciences got him
into 1t.
Way back in the days when he
was a youthful farmland near
Neche, N. D., he bought telegraph
instrument on which he clicked ar
IDENTIFY in his spare hours. And
that was the beginning of a 46-
year career in railroading.
This week Mr.. Bonaime Is
looking forward to a brand
new world after his retirement
March S1st, as local agent for
the Great Northern Railway
company, after six years as
agent in Sank Centre, and some
forty-four years as agent in
stations all over the northwest.
Farm work didn't hold enough
for the young French-born immi-
grant, and the clicking telegraph
key spelled out, in those idle hours,
a new career, a career in a bust
ness that was rough and ready.
Frank Bonaime was ready for that
career, and in the year just before
1894 he went to telegraphers'
school in GAINESVILLE. That was
enough.
Early in April, 1894, as assistant
to the agent, he began his long
career with the Great Northern in
Park Rapids.
That career that began in the
spring before the turn Of the CEN
fury, bloomed in many spots. In
October, 1894, he was transferred

preparations exclusively be-
cause I get results from them
that / am unable to get from any
other preparation" stated a well
known business woman the
other day.
The secret of the remarkable
success of Nine. c. J. Walkers
preparations is in the fact that
they were blended by the late
Madam c. j. Walker to reach
certain definite coalitions of the
hair, skin and scalp, and today.
after over thirty-five years ON
the market, they are growing
increasingly popular, and not
withstanding the fact that the
Company has always refused to
reduce the price on these goods,
they r still in demand very
where.
Nine. c. J. Walkers Glossine,
although more than thirty-five
years on the market, is still the
leader in its field. The reason
for this is because it not only
serves as a scalp oil, but it gives
the hair that silky sheen and
natural gloss that is the delight
OF every woman.

Doomed Under Joint Threat
Observer Says u S. and Britain Can
Make Indies Venture q Virtual Suicide

the new axis Is composed of far
more bluster than of anything more
substantial. But If she fights? Let
us see, then, what will happen.
We are told that Japan will at
tack the Netherlands Indies to OBJ
tain oil and other raw materials.
Aside from the fact that the Dutch
will assuredly destroy the wells,
SO that the oil obtained will be
negligible, such a move by Japan
Is still no simple military excursion.
The available naval forces In the
Far East are as follows: United
States, 2 cruisers. Is destroyers, prob
ably IL submarines, l squadron OF
patrol planes: Britain, 2 cruises,
probably 8 submarines, consider
able air force; Netherlands, cruis-
ers, 8 destroyers, Is submarines,
probably 100 long-range naval air.
craft.
The garrison of the Dutch Indies
includes some IS 900 Dutch troops
and $4,000 natives. These are well
trained, armed and equipped, and
there is a military air force OF per-
haps 200 planes.
In order to commence an attack
upon the Netherlands Indies, or.
more exactly, upon the Island of
Borneo, which contains the chief
oil wells, Japan will have to send
troops to seize and occupy the ports
and oil-producing regions. Borneo
is not heavily garrisoned, SO that
two small expeditions of 5000 men
each, direc1ed respectively against
Balikpappan and Tarakan (the two
chief oil ports) might be sufiicient
in strength for an initial effort,
providing complete surprise could be
achieved so that reinforcements
could not arrive from Java before
the Japanese did. The nearest jap
anese base where such an expedi-
ton could be assembled with the
necessary secrecy Is Formosa, about
$500 miles from Borneo. A sum-
cient escort would be required to
overcome the naval forces Of the
Netherlands and the guarantor
powers, plus about $4,000 tons of
merchant shipping.
From Formosa this force would

base in the Pelews were the sub
ject of attack from the Philippines
and Amboina, attacks which might
render it useless as a point Of sup
port for the japanese advance.
We may, on the whole, conclude
with some reason that any Japanese
attack on the Dutch East Indies,
granted a guaranty of those islands
by the United States and Great
Britain, cannot commence until the
Japanese have taken, or at least
rendered useless as bases, Hong
Kong, Manila and Amboina. Hong
Kong is badly exposed and isolated,
but it has a garrison of about r.
900 good troops, well equipped and
munitioned, and is taetically very
strong. 1t would take long time
months, perhaps-to reduce it by
any means possessed by the jap
anese.
Manila Attack Unlikely.
Manila is protected by an island
fortress-Corregidor-in the mouth
of Manila Bay, which is certainly
capable of lasting as long as Hong

The shorter would be by way of
the South China Sea, leaving the

Corregidor, on the other. In both

forces OF submarines, and long
range naval aircraft are available

elements would be upon the jap

order to reach the Oil ports, the

the guns Of Singapore and the prin-
cipal Dutch base at Surabaya. OBJ

an attempt to surprise the oil ports
Of Borneo in this manner are pro-
hibitive.

The United States has been loudly
