FARMERS TO AID RED CROSS.
Donate Crops of Given Area to the
Relief Fund.

ST PAUL, June 3o.-Farmers of
Washington county have agreed to de-
vote the crops of an acre or half an
acre of every farm to the Red Cross.
The plan has been designated the
Washington County Idea" and hopes
were expressed today that many other
communities will adopt 1t.
The proponents Of the plan argued
that farmers could more easily spare
the crop from a given piece of land
than it's value in money during the
harvest season. At least $4,000 will
be raised through the operation of the
scheme in Washington county. it is be-
lieved.

Thoughts in a Small Village.

To understand at all what is going
on in Russia it is necessary to place
ones self mentally in a small village
built Of logs, but pretty comfortable
are people still living who were born
in serfdom. The life is very simple, the
people good-hearted. and, now that
there Is no vodka, decent and regular
visitors to Russian baths Very few
know how to read and write to any
extent, and their mental limits are
pretty close. They, are still in the dark,
and. like the Indians, fear and distrust
the horizon. Numerically they repre-
sent four-ffths of the Russian people.
Some of these villages are remote from
railways. and there are undoubtedly
places in this land where the revolution
Is not yet known. traveller who came

lage up there that Russia had a new
ruler. woman. named Liberty
Consider what happens in village
like that when a bunch of soldiers
without arms comes tramping through
telling miraculous tales of the diaboli-
cal strength of the Germans. and say
ing that the car is gone, Russia is a
democracy and no one has tonight any
more. They are there as visible evil
dence that the fighting is all over One
Of them even gave a German some
bread. and he was grateful and did not
bite the hand that fed him. But the

have allies" But why don't they stop,
too. II they have no emperors?" NO,
they want to go on fighting because
they want to take Germany" "Oh,
that's the way the wind SETS" says the
first: the Germans want to stop, and
we want to stop. but our allies won't

Idea for the Allies.

Then: with the same quickness. the idea
spread that this idea must not go alone
for Russia. but for her allies. The Rus
sian decided that II he was not going to
gain anything out Of the war he was not
going to let anybody else. So Miliukon' 8
note, sent at that unfortunate moment.
came in for all their wrath.
The Russian point Of view in all this
was big. and, in the long run, all that 1t
should be. 1t expresses the fundamental
quality Of Observation-Disclosures that actuates
the Russian. But as this high-minded-
ness is somewhat fanatical, 1t contains a
handled just as child can be handled.
Take this question OF Miliukon. He had
to leave the government because he In
sisted the treaties with the allies should
not be published.
He had no sooner resigned than tho
very people who had forced his resig-
nation came to the realization them
selves that this was no time to pull all
ones papers out Of the safe, with the
Germans hammering at the door. and
agreed that treaties should be left
where they were until later on when
one had time to consider such matters.
He went out of the cabinet on an idea.
He Is a capitalist. That is the worst
any one could say against him. He is
a great Russian patriot and everybody
admits it. The army loves him. and
as far back as the Japanese war he was
devottng most OF his time TO petter con-
ditions. He also accepted Immediately
every suggestion Of the council of SOL
diers' and workmen's deputies, democ-
the Russian army to point
that left foreign officers here gasping,
but he could not stay.
In his place was put Kerensky. a
socialist. The choice was happy be-
cause Kerensky has the faith of every
body in Russia. and that was neces-
sary. But Kerensky was able to do
what his predecessors would not have
dared to do-he Immediately introduced
an iron-if democratic ~ discipline in
the army. The moral to be drawn from
this anomaly was expressed by Carlyle,
Discipline is wind of miracle and
works by faith"

be understood. 1t must be looked at in
very large and general way before it

Russia to form a majority movement
would not stand for such a note In
the first place, the treaties were made
by the old government. That was
enough to damn them with the ag-

AGED NEGRO SAVES GIRL FROM
DROWNING

Townsville, Dec. 3l.-John
Taylor, an old negro living on the
outskirts of Thomasville, seems in
line for Carnegie medal for his
bravery in rescuin9 from drowning
a day or two ago Miss Katherine
Brooks, a -14.year-old girl.
Miss Brooks, with two children,
was in a boat on a pond, when the
boat began leaking and they pushed
to the shore. The two children
were landed safely, but before Miss
Brooks could get out the boat drift
ed with her back into deep water
and she had no oars to manage it.
In trying to stand up and call for
help she fell into the water, which
was quite deep. The children
managed to call the negro Taylor
who was ploughing in field near,
by and he ran to Miss Brooks as
sistanee and managed finally to res
cue her, as she was sinking the
third time. Taylor did rot seem
to think he had done anything
especially conmendable, but just
what he would lave done for any
one else, and had very little to say
on the subject, Although much
exhausted by her experience, Miss
Brooks suffered no serious effects
from it.-Ex.

Two Grades
Piedmont Ground Limestone---
Best Of Its Glass

Piedmont Ground Limestone is made from
the same stone as High Grade Pulverized
Limestone. Like all other ground limestone,
however, it is manufactured from the screen
ings from the Cfu5her. For this reason any
foreign matter like clay or dirt that adheres to
the stone goes into the finished product. In
our case such impurities are negligible because
our stoneis naturally clean.
Piedmont Ground Limestone is coarser, un-
dried, and more slowly available than High
Grade Pulverzed Limestone.
Like all other ground Limestone it requires
q larger application for equal results.
1t is equal to any ground limestone in Geor-
gi4 except our High Grade Pulverized Lime-
stone 1t is superior to ordinary screenings
because it comes from quarry freefrom sand
dirt or clay.
1t is used by only a small percentage Of our
customers as compared with High Grade Pull
