ORCHARD LAKE
ACADEMY CLOSES

The Michigan Military academy al
Orchard Lake. for 80 years one CT the
most prominent cadet schools In tie
United States. has suspended for an
inde finite period. with debts amounting
10 100000 standing against 1t. At
one time the school was pronounced
hy Gen. w. T. Sherman as second only
IN efficiency to West Point. II Is hoped
by some patrons OF the school that
prominent Michigan men whose sons
have been students at Orchard Lake
that the state OF Michigan will take
charge OF the institution. An effort
will be made by those interested to
have this step taken. The school was
organized In 1877 by Col. J. Sumner
Rogers, then resident OF Detroit;
Gov. John ]. Bagley and Gen. Russell
\. Alger. Other prominent men cou
,riOuted to Its support.
There are about 100 creditors and
the fact that they could not agree t.
the cause of suspension
The suspension in no way reflects
on the management OF Laurence Cam
cron Hull, who was at the head OF the
academy. Prof Hull Is an instructor
of splendid ability and executive force
but the load OF Inherited debts was
too great for even his genius. Ore
argument In favor OF state aid for the
Institution Is that II would near the
retention Of so capable a man as Prof
Hull In charge Of the work.

1--WE took all the baskets from the girls, and when
they had dismounted, Balser and led the horses to
the stable. When returned to the cabin we found
the girls busily engaged getting breakfast OF
course they were laughing and were all talking at
once. When Balser and joined them, we too began
to laugh about nothing, and to talk about less We
all talked at once, and although of us seemed

that alive and together.
Balser and l. of course, wanted to peep into the
baskets but a chorus of screams and protests
checked curiosity. The girls would not let us
eat much breakfast saving that we must save our
selves for dinner. We tried to convince them that
didn't have to ourselves that we had enough
hunger for both breakfast and dinner; but those
tyrannical girls served only small ration, and
said we'd have to be satisfied. After breakfast they
drove out of the house and kept us waiting IN
the cold until Nab to the door and said
Now you may come in.
IN the table were presents that had been sent up
~ to us by our folks. Among my presents, we'll
remember, great wooden neck comforter, long
enough to wind about my throat dozen times
The coors were patriotic, red, white, and blue
and thought and still think it the most beautiful
comforter in the world; for Nab had knitted it

everybody, and all laughed till the tears came
to eyes. Mitts. and socks, and warmers and
comforters, and chest protectors,-all the work of
loving hands-covered the table and-and-bless

fox in trap, should have liberated it had it not
fought so viciously when tried to inspiring the
trap that had to kill it.. We freed score of coons
and muskrats giving them their lives Christmas
present from the girls
When We had visited the traps We went back to
the cabin, and Balser climbed the tree on which our
wild turkey was hanging and brought down the bird
We dipped the turkey in great kettle of hot water
to loosen the feathers, and it was bare When
the turkey ready for the fire. we improvised
spit, using steel ramrod for the purpose and hung
it great bed of hickory Goals to roast If you
have tasted turkey roasted over the Goals on

have bunch of letters from advertisers asking
me to critidse their advertisements; to tell them
wherein the copy is bad or good.
1t Is nearly all bad; bat most bad advertise
ments pay. The better the copy as a general rule
the better the results. Good copy for one class Of
trade might be very poor copy for another But there
are few broad general principles which always
true.
Your advertisement should be attractive enough
to catch the eye Size doesn't do this two inch
single column card may be made to attract more
notice than an announcement as big sheet of note
paper. If your advertisement isn't seen II isn't read
and If 1t isn't read matter If 1t has ten million
circulation 1t isn't worth postage stamp You are
not investing in circulation but in readers of adver
hsements
- The next point is to make your advertisement
readable. As rule the most readable copy is printed
in fairly large book type; kind of type with a
display heading two and the reading matter divided
into easy paragraphs Most advertisers think that by
crowding the space to It's utmost they are getting
bigger value for their money. Within reasonable
limits the very opposite true. Ten words read ars
worth than ten thousand words looked at.
advertising retail shop and found
that my advertising appropriation would allow me to
take two inch card daily IN four newspapers should
multiply the two by four and take an eight inch card
in one newspaper.
But the scret Of copy is personality; red hot
hustling life. Like breeds ike. If your shop is a
husting go-ahead and this spirit is reflected
in your advertising the contagion will soon spread
The first hundred customers the hardest to get
the second hundred come in about hall the time; the
third hundred are attracted by the crowd
The full page announcements of the department
stores overshadow the small dealer; but there is
opening up great field in every big city for the at
tractive advertising of the smaller shop. This ad-
vertising must be done in way; it must be
pleasing refined, convincing; it must appeal to the
individual who loves quiet rather than noise the very
antthesis of the broadside bargain advertising 50
