The great demand for manganese
ores and high prevailing prices lend
additional interest to recent report
on some manganese mines in Virginia
and Maryland, by ID. F. Hewett, OF the
United States Survey. The demand
for large amounts of manganese ores
in this country began in he period
lS65-lS70, with the introduction OF the
Bessemer and open.hearth processes
Of steel making, and has grown enor-
mously. Teh domestic supplies have
furnished only a small fraction OF the
manganese required by our industries
in 1915 only about 3 per cent, and
from 1910 to 1914 only per cent.
Virginia has contributed more heavi
ly than any other State to the dom
este production. Five of the six de-
posits described in this report are on
the east side OF the valley that lies
west of the Blue Ridge and Is common
ly known as the Great Valley OF Vir.
ginia. They coincide roughly in post
ton with the outcroppings OF group
Of Cambrian shales and quartzites.
The other deposit lies we'll east of the
Blue Ridge, in the piedmont region
PsilOmelane Is the commonest man
ganese mineral of all ths ores, but
manganite and wad are also present.
The ores are all of near-surface origin
and were formed mainly through tns
replacement Of clays and schist by
manganese carried in solution in the
ground water, Some of the clays re.
placed were the residual products Of
rock weathering others were deposit
ed in ancient stream channels, and
others were formed through the crush

HARDIN COUNTY MAN (
STILL LIVES ON FARM (
HE ENTERED IN 1851 {

Special to Times Republican.
Eldora. Aug. 2S.--With the changing
ownership of lands in this county and
over central Iowa, 1t is interesting to
note of a man who still lives upon the
farm that he entered Of the govern
ment in the spring of 1851. when lowe
was practically wilderness. The man
in question is keener F. Price, living
near Written. There were less than a
dozen residents of the county in that
year.
Mr.. Prices land grant bears the sig
nature Of Willard Fillmore, then presi-
dent OF the United States. Mr. Price
and wife came to Iowa from the state
of Pennsylvania. where Mr.. Price was
born 81 years ago. Mr. Prices health
Is good. save the fact that his hearing
has been somewhat impaired by the
corroding touch of time Mrs. Price is
three years her husbands senior. hav-
ing been born in Clinton county. Ohio,
in 1892 Both Mr.. and Mrs. Price have
been hard workers thru all the years
Of their eventful life. for it is an event
in any ones career to have lived from
the OK stage of travel to that of the
gasolene tractor and from sl.2o acre
Land to soil selling for $225. Four chill
dren were born to Mr.. and Mrs. Price,
three Of whom are living. Both Mr..
and Mrs. Price are strong in the opin-
ion that in this old world work Is the
most fun" for thru the toll of the
years they have amassed competency
and have proved anew the scripturAl
injunction That with long life will
satisfy him who keeps my command
ments."

DAVENPORT AUTO CLUB IN EF-
FORT 70 SECURE LARGE SUN 4
FOR HIGHWAY.
APPLIES FOR $4,000,
LOCAL SHARE OF FUND
Proposes to Build Fifteen Miles Of
GraveIed Highway on Roads to BE
4 Selected Internationally Will Be
Used on Main Travelled Highways
Near city-Petition Prepared.

Davenport, Aug. 2s.-F'ifteen miles
of permanent hard road on one of the
arteries OF traffic leading out of Dav
export will soon be realization IL the
petition of the Davenport Auto Club
for part of the federal road fund re-
ceives recognition and approval.
In the present session of congress
$75,00O,oOO has been appropriated to
aid states and counties in bringing
about better roads. Iowa's share Of
the funds amounts to S146,000, but to
render this available the governor
must give his approval to the act.
This Governor Clarke recently did In
statement to Senator Fred Henig-
baum, in which he said, Il have con-
ciu6ed to assent to the act of con-
gress for the purpose of aiding states
in road construction" Steps will
be Immediately taken to make use OF
the appropriation.
Seventy five thousand dollars Of the
state fund is asked for use in the
vicinity of Davenport. This would be
ample to construct fifteen miles OF
gravel road The cost Of maintenance
would fall upon the county for ten
years by state legislation.
The state highway commission has
been petitioned by local representa-
tives of the Davenport Automobile
Club and if the commission favors the
use of the money on local roads. the
final assent will come thru the secre-
tary Of agriculture.
The road which is to receive the
benefit of the fund. in the advent that
the petition is granted, is not known.
All that Is given out by the auto club
upon this matter is that the road Is
one of the leading highways in the
vicinity of this city and that it needs
fixing badly. The county adjoining
Scott county is also taking steps TO
secure portion of the federal fund
to construct permanent road on the
same highway, taking up the work
where the local construction will end.
The project which the auto club Is
engaged in has been called to the at
tention of it's members by J.. G. De
Armand. the editor Of The Radiator,
she official organ Of the Local. club,
in the current issue. J. Reed Lane is
preparing to personally make an ap'
,,llca ton to the state highway conf

fceived . petition.

NO WORK FOR IRIsHMEN.
Farm laborers Barred From Employ
ment in England.

London, Aug. 2S.-Hundreds of Irish
men. young and old. are walking the
streets of many English towns because
they have been refused employment on
harvest work, in quest of which they
crossed the Irish sea. The English la
borers have barred the irish and the
English farmers refuse places to them
for fear of getting into difficulties with
the native labor.
The whole trouble is said to be due
to the fact that while English labor In
the army is in Ireland receiving one
shilling day as government pay the
Irish laborers--eXcluded from provi-
sons of the military service act-take
their places in England at six and
seven shillings day.
In Lincolnshire and other important
farming counties on the east coast the
s;tua ton is said 10 have grown serious.
There is no denying that labor is
needed to harvest the crops but the
farmers are una BILE to employ the Irish.
They have been told that rupture
will result which will leave them with
out any labor at all. The difficulty is
said to be increased by the shopkeep-
ers in the villages who decline to sell
them food.

Weekly Crop Report.

Waterloo, Aug. 2S.-The condition
Of crops in northern and northeastern
Iowa and southeastern Minnesota is
shown by the weekly repor made by
the Illinois Central Railroad Company.
This report Is compiled from reports
received from the company's agents
all over the Minnesota division and
has been found to be wholly reliable.
The report for the past week is as fol-

The temperature the past week has
average six to eight degrees above nor

Of hot, dry weather that has ever
been experienced in this section Of
the country.
Corn is badly in need of moisture
and fully Is per cent has fred, and is
now being cut for roughage or the
silo. On the better soils, corn is still
of healthy color and the kernels
Eave commenced to dent. The hot,
dry winds that have prevailed during
the week have caused considerable
damage and unless we have a soaking
rain within the next day or so, the
crop will fall below last years average.
Shock Threshing-
Shock threshing is better than
one-haf done, while stack threshing
is well under way. The only addi-
tional report on yield that can be made
is that Of fax, which has produced
about ten bushels to the score, and
which Is the same average as that of
last year.
Early onions and cabbage are NOV

The average Is about that of last
year. Late potatoes are damaged To
a great extent turnout the entire
country adjacent to this division. 1t
is estimated that this crop will only
average so per cent Of normal unless
it Is revived within the next day.
