Football Hints.

The best way to throw a football is
10 grasp it firmly in the hand with the
'thumb on the laces and toss It with
the point toward the person who is to
receive it. This will give it the spiral
effect which makes 1t easy to handle.
Kicking has been and always will be
One of the most important departments
|Of the game 1t gives a team great
confidence to have a reliable kicker,
Rnd team cannot be considered a first
class aggregation without one. Ten
yards is long distance to be gained
In three downs, and when two teams
are evenly matched the punt signal
Invariably will be given on the third
down.
The kicking game ~ an excellent
one with a good kicker and a fast pair
'Of ends. Practice win make one an
expert kicker. Drop kicking and place
kicking also have come to the front
and many game last year was won
by field goal.

Fodder For Fowl..

Fowls need great deal Of fodder in
winter to neutralize the concentrated
feed. One hundred hens will eat five
pounds of clover leaves daily besides
their regular grain ration, and the
clover is a very nutritious food as well
as supplying bulk. Often cut rOwen
hay viii answer fairly well as a sub
stitute, and If neither clover nor rowen
is at hand the char from the barn
floor will supply great deal Of fod-
der as well as serving as scratching
litter. The Maine station found that
for 100 hens five pounds of clover
leaves took the place Of seventeen
pounds Of beets, and the hens were
kept healthy and thrifty.

The em- ployers of labor in Germany whare he did all of his work. were anxious to deter the people from leaving, and that all sorts of reports were spread broad cast. refiecting upon America and upon the conditions existing hero. The men were told there were no mines in Ala barna and no furnaces and that thev were being brought over to work in Panama Stories of this sort were pub lished in the German papers. He found that in the past men had been induced to emigrate from Germany under false representations and in some cases had been deceived by schemers, so that he had good deal to overcome: but he succeeded in bringing over ninety seven people. seventy nine of whom are men. All Of these came from Luxom- burg and all skilled workmen.

of immigration stated to him that they were the best lot of immigrants that he had ever seen brought over In one bunch.
 If these men find conditions as we hope they will. they will serve as 6 nu- cleus to bring to the State a higher class of immigrants than we have ever had and 6 class far above the average anywhere in the United States.
 Together with Mir. DeHoil's final re- port I am going to see what can be accomplished In the way of inducing immigrants of this character under the act of Congress, which goes into effect in July.
 In conclusion, permit me to again express the cordial appreciation which the officers of the Tennessee feel of the interest you have shown In this work and of the cooperation you gave Of securing immigrants of this charac- ter contemplated by our recent statute.
 Every effort has been made to satisfy these people with their new surround ings. Very truly yours, -z Walker Percy.
 The immigrants brought in by Mfr. DeHoll will be carried to the industrial district of the State. It is proposed to keep up immigration work until some agricultural workers are brought into the State.

The toss of a coin won for SkIperin- tendent Harry c. Gunne1s and the State Department of Education the choice rooms on the ground floor of the new addition to the Capitol
 The coin was tossed in the Cover nor's office by the Governor himself and the loser was Attorney General A. M. Garber who had hopeful claim
 The suite of offices in question is at the southeast corner of the new wing. They are splendidly arranged, having both an eastern and a southern expos ure. In one of the rooms a neat pri- vate office has been constructed, where the State official who occupies the office can sit after good dinner and while smoking a ten cent cigar tell his stenographer that there will not be any more letters that afternoon.
 Then he can puff contentedly at his 10 cent cigar and look over the marble stretch of the side veranda and admire the big graceful columns that orna- ment the south end of the Capitol.
 He can sit there and think what q fine thing 1t is to be a State officer and wonder why everybody in the Cap itol wants to run for Governor. He can sit there from his vantage point and make imaginary speeches to the populace, while he is thinking about the next campaign. They are going to build aspretty little park out there on the soutn slde or the CapitoI square and the enjoyment of the yerdant beauties of the new park will be one of the prerogatives of the occupant of the desirable suite.
 The misunderstanding over the oc- cupatfon of the new suite grew out of the faction of the old Capitol Com mission assigning the offices in ques- ton to Superintendent Gunnels and his department. The old Commission was composed of State officials whose term of office eXnfrad in January and no record of their assignments was made. But the head of the Educational De- pertinent had gone in and had certain alterations made, including the pro-
