McDonough, Ga., Jan. 22, 1015. One Man. The Russian peasantry arc about as low in the scale of hu manity as any people in the world. For decades they have had little chance to improve their condi tion. Their earnings have been small and the government has had most of these poured into its till in exchange for the vilest of drinks, vodka, as the government had a monopoly of the sale of this drink. So none would think that there could be much hope of anything good coming from the Russian peasantry. So debauched’were these people by the vodka which they drank that the great majori ty of them never worked on Mon days, as they required that day to recover from the regular week end spree. And yet from 1 his very class of the lowest sort finally came the man who was the means of sav ing the Russian peasant from him self and raising him to a level of self-respect and reliability. This man began as a peasant. He went to a town and barely subsisted for a time while trying to got a start in business. He was finally elected to the city council, or body corresponding to the body of that name in our country. While holding this office, a pam phlet on intoxicating liquors fell into his hands. It was a medical treatise showing the injurious ef fects of intoxicating drinks on the physical organism of the drinker. It c used him to begin a study of the question. He was soon convinced that alcoholic bever ages were nothing but evil. At once he began a crusade to ha.e he sale made illegal. His resolu ion to prohibit its sale in his o mi own was defeated by his fellow ! members. Later, however, he became mayor of the town. His constant preaching of temperance and growing influence bore fruit after a number of years and his town abolished the sale of vodka. In the course of time this one man’s voice began to thunder throughout the great Empire of Russia. At last the war came on and the voice reached the Czar, with the result that the govern ment ceased to sell vodka in all Russia and prohibited its sale by anybody. What is the result? This order has been in force but a few months and yet even now a new Russia has emerged from the darkness of its recent past. The peasants are sober and no more have idle Mondays, the women and children wear a more healthy look and better clothing. The people have more money than they ever had before. And this is the work began by one man. He was not a m re reformer either, as some monied me n sneeringly speak of some men who have been too busy with higher pursuits to make money. This Russian has become a mil lonaire while bringing about a evolution in the habits ui a na on. We may get many lessons from this Russian ‘with unpronounce able name, But the grey lest is it a great faith possessing an, ®' • MOWIK- '• - ' --' - I wgam MwwmmWj' WJF2 j 1 Kimball’s Dairy Farmer , -»'•« T*. jWr Ofl.H. v , ||^f|g| GREENS Fruit Grower We invite everybody'to take advantage of this Big Offer.
