METHODIST SCHOOLS
RECEIVE LARGE SUM

Mr.. w. q. Hogan, treasurer of the
board of education of the Methodist
Episcopal Church South, with head
quarters at Nashville, Tenn, has re-
Gently distributed to the 81 schools
and colleges maintained by that de-
nomination $707,792.77 This fund
came into the hands of the treasurer
from recent collections on subscrip-
tons made to the Christian educa-
ton movement, which sought $33,-
0O0, 900 throughout the bounds of the
connection for the strengthening of
schools.
II is said that this early distribu-
ton of funds will be timely help to
the schools and colleges, many OF
which are handicapped by inadequate
housing facilities and meager en-
dowments.

Hughes was asked is il an evolu-
tion from the viennial variety, or is it
a hybrid?"
Il New Creation.
Neither" he replied, at is mu-
tation "a charge wrought by nature
which practically amounts to a new
creation. Just how it is done we dc
not understand. but those of us who
are constantly experimenting with
plant life know that such things do
happen.
New varieties of wheat, corn and
other grains come into existence in
that way. OF course, we all know
that new plants can be created by a
breeding or grating process, but this
is something different.
1T is a jump in the creative pro-
cess in which successive stages of
evolution are passed over, and we see
only the result in the form of new
and superior plant"

GLOVER ten FEET
4 TALL IS PRODUCED
Iowa Professor Develops SUI
+ peror Plant For
Fertilizer.

Newbern, Ala, March 1S.-Pro-
lessor II. ID. Hughes of the Iowa Ag-
ricultural College at Ames, Ia, here
on leave Of absence, is a promising
rival OF Luther Burbank in develop
ing plant life, and OF Henry Ford and
Muscle Shoals in producing cheap fer
tilizer.
Professor Hughes is the discoverer
of "hubam," remarkable new clover
which attains a growth of five to ten
y feet in the first year.
= In explaining the significance OF
what he has done Hughes made this
statement:
soil demands nitrogen and or
ganic matter as fertilizer in order to
J get the best results.
Nitrogen must be obtained from
the air either by a chemical process
such as is proposed at Muscle Shoals
or by blowing under certain kinds of
plants in which the nitrogen has been
fixed by bacteria.
Clover as Soil Remover.
Glover is the ideal soil remover,
because IL contains the nitrogen and
the organic elements.
THE usual practice Is to plant
clover with wheat and after the wheat
has been harvested the clover is plow-
ed under with the wheat stubble Ma
ture has so adjusted the rate OF
growth that when the wheat is cut
the clover is only a few inches high.
But afterwards Il shoots up rapidly.
Here is where hubam Is espe-
cially valuable. II grows to height
of six, eight. and ten feet in one sea-
son, and when the farmer plows 1t
under he puts back in his soil fer
tilizer Of the very highest value and
in great abundance. He gets both
quantity and quality"
Hughes discovered this new clo-
yer while he was testing seeds from
various sections in his greenhouse
at Ames. AS soon as farmers and
seedmen learned about II Hughes
was deluged with special offers. One
man mailed a check for $40, begging
Nor six seeds, while another sent a
check signed in blank and urged
Hughes to fill in his own price.
$1,000 From Fifty Seeds.
The value of this discovery is
shown from the fact that one man re-
r ported he sold crop of clover for
$1,000, which had been developed
from fifty seeds.
In mailing samples to experiment
stations Hughes sent along a letter
estimating the value of the new
clover. at 100000 a tashel.
Big stacks of letters have been
received from seedmen, farmers and
experiment stations all over the Unit
ed States telling of wonderful results
obtained from the new annual sweet
clover.
After lengthy investigation
Hughes discovered that the new
clover came from Alabama and he
traced II to locality near Newbern,
where it was growing wild.
How do you account for hubam ?"

Seeks Share of Profits In

Wars Close.
BY Norris Quinn.


Cleveland, March 1S.-Did DR..
SAMUEL Mclean, aged country physi-
clan, invent the Lewis machine gun,
instrument of wholesale destruction
that made allied victory in the World
War possible?
Judge John w. Peck must decide
that question in Federal Court here.
And on his decision hangs 100000
600.
Mclean has brought suit for that
amount, which represents royalties
from Lewis machine guns sold during
The war to the United States AID al
lied powers.
II the suit goes against Mclean
he'll have to spend his declining
years in the very modest circum-
stances that marked his earlier life
when he worked day and night to
perfect his machine gun.

Eager 20 Repay Son.
"And my son-he quit high school
and went TO work to help us along
while i was toiling over my blue

For my part, I'll have leisure for
hunting and collecting rifles and tin
kering with them. That's how |
cameto invent the machine gun, you
know-my rifle jammed when l was
hunting and l invented an anti-jam-
ming device that's the basis OF the
machine gun"
All these thoughts run thru Ms
Leans mind as he sits in court, his
wife at his side, earnestly listening
to the reading of dry reports and the
testimony of ordnance experts.
Mclean worked fifteen years to
produce the Mclean machine gun. He
organized the Mclean Arms and Ord
nance Company here in 1908 to per-
feet and manufacture it.
The company ran out of capital.
Then, Mclean charges, the patents
were turned over to the Automatic
Arms Company. organized by men
who had been interested in McLean's
ompany.
Mclean Left Out.
| Mclean was le1t out the reorSahi-
cation. The Automatic Arms Com
pany started making the Lewis gun
and did sS5O,OOO, 1000 worth of bust
ness during the war, Mclean says.
Half of this was profit, he declares.
The Automatic Arms Company and
its directors deny McLean's charges.
They say the invention of the Lewis
gun was independent of any invention
Of McLean's.

all over the lot Saturday afternoon
and won handily, to l. Van Goeth-

hitting one man but for all that
he was effective at every turn of
the game.
The Islanders punched their hits
between the third and eighth in
nings. combining them with Marsh

McEwan accounted for three Euns
with single and double. His other
hit came in the sixth, when the Is
landers went scoreless. A double
by Van Goethem in the fourth
brought two runs across the plat
ter, while NewelFs double in the
seventh also sent runner into the
registering station.
The game was played under pro-
test of Manager Boyle of the AnSons
from the first inning. The dispute
arose over Umpire Schuler's de-
cision or the application of the in
field fly. Marshalltown had run
ners on first and second and only
one out. Lenahan's high fly was
caught by Van Goethem, who then
tossed to second before the runner
could return. Boyle claimed the
batter was out automatically, and

NO HIT, NO RUN,
ONE PASS GAME
Turns Trick for the Giants Before
Large Sunday Afternoon
Crowd.
BY JOHN B. FOSTER.

Copyright, 1929, by The Argus.)
New York, May S.-Before the
season began. Jess Barnes was put
on the market by the owners of
the Giants. No one wanted him.
Some owners ridiculed his ability.
Others ridiculed the sincerity of the
owners of the Giants. In a game
played yesterday on the Polo
Grounds, Barnes pitched no hit.
no run game against Philadelphia.
1t was not perfect game like that
which was pitched by young Rob
ertson of the Chicago Sox against
Detroit because Barnes gave a bob
in the fifth inning, but it enrolled
Barnes among the no hit pitchers.
1t seems fashionable this year to
pitch no hit games on Sunday.
There was a time when the Ma
tional league in season and out of
it bitterly decried Sunday baseball.
One of the organizations strongest
arguments for its existence was its
fighting antagonism to Sunday
games. Now Sunday is its feature
day and Barnes never will forget
Sunday, May Z.
His career with New York has
been out of the ordinary. When the
Giants made a dicker with Boston
in which a pitcher was included
the Boston management expected
that the pitcher who would be Sc
lected, would be another Barnes
but New York chose Barnes. The
change brought a season of good
pitching for Barnes.
Was In Slump.
He fell off after that The army
called him and after he returned
in 1921 he was not very effective.
Most of his games were ordinary.
In the world series he never was
selected as the starting pitcher in
a game, but both times that Toney
was withdrawn Barnes was sent to
his relief and it was his clever
work that helped the Giants to
win.
Notwithstanding he did so we'll
he was not in particularly good
favor with the owners of the Giants
when signing time came and he
was offered for sale. He came to
terms when the players were in
Texas and now he is the leading
National league sensation of the
season. You never can tell what
they are likely to do. Barnes
