Just How Old Is
This Joke, " Anyhow?

How's this for a tight skirted maiden
to say without even so much as think
ing about it:
On Peachtree street. where most
things in Atlanta happen nowadays,
somebody dropped quart bottle OF
milk on the sidewalk near Auburn ave-
nue. yesterday, Milk spread over the
pavement in a white flood. Broken
glass made a dangerous bar TO passage.
Everybody walked gingerly for awhile.
Along comes the heroine of this little
story. Coming to the chaos of milk
and glass, she lifted her skirts an in
fnitesimal bit, and made face.
"Oh. DEAR" she said to her husky
escort. who wouldn't have thought of
it in ten years himself, why don't
they call this street.-the Milky Way?"

Alamo, the capital Of Wheeler, Geor-
gia's junior county once a pinpoint on
the map of the state, is in fair way to
get on the map in more or less boxcar

Alamo is one Of the puckiest little
towns in Georgia-and the way it is
getting there" Is in line with what
Wheeler county's boosters told the leg
slature last summer it might expect.
That the question of abolshing CAPT
tai punishment in Georgia is engaging
the attention Of many thinking people
nowadays can not be doubted.
Editorial comment showing how two
Of the liveIiest and ablest weeklies
stand reads as follows:
The people of Georgia are against
capital punishment Within less
than ten years It viii be abolished
by act of the egisature.-Alpha-
retta Free Press.
We are glad to have Brother
Rucker on our side Of this ques-
ton Capital punishment is sim
ply legaIized murder That and
nothing more-Dalton Citizen
1t is entirely possible that capital
punishment WILL be a thing Of the
past in Georgia ten years hence: and
it is not inconcelvable that it may come
sooner.
The sentiment against capital pun
ishment is spreading everywhere. In
many nations of the Old World 1t is
unknown--it has been abolished either
by specific enactment, or RELOCATED to
disuse through deliberate design, as in
Belgium, for instance.
In the meantime a move in the direc-
ton of abolition likely will be taken in
Georgia within much less than ten
years-not unlikely in the next legsla-
ture, indeed.
All felons to be executed in Georgia
soon will be executed at some central
point-at the state prison farm, per
haps-rather than in the county of the
crime, as is now the law
When public executions were abol-
ished in Georgia, a step in the direction
of abolition of all capital punishment
was takcn-when all executions are re-
quired to be performed at central
point, another step will have been
| taken.
There is but one more step to take
and that will land Georgia where SO

ishment wish to see her

1912 RECORD is BROKEN
More Deer Licenses Issued g. county

Up tn today County Clerk Kaiser

censes, The number exceeds the total
sale for the season al 1912 by four
and the excess probably viii he great
or than that by the close of the sea
son one week from today.
II was believed. in advance of the
seasons opening. that the number oi
deer licenses would be very low M
comparison with that Of 1912. Tn,
strike was offered as an explanation
There were numerous expert opin-
Ions that the number of deer had les.
sened. that wolves had killed them off,
that game law violators had been
numerous. that the enormous kill in
previous seasons had reduced the Wis
ible supply.
The season has not justified these
rumors. There have been deer COM
ing into Houghton every day since the
season opened and Houghton probably
contributes fewer hunters than any
other section of the county.
Hundreds Of deer have been slaugh
tered i'm Houghton county this season,
to say nothing Of the kills in Baraga,
Ontonagon and Gogebic and Rewee-
nav counties. The forecast of the
wiseacres for the present deer season
seems Ia he dismal failure.

in some of the problems of transporta-
ton that authentic information on this
subject is much to be desired. Some
fruits, like the apple. may he allowed to
tipen almost fully on the tree and may
he kept I'm the ripened condition for
relatively long periods if proper atten-
ton is paid to their manipulation and
storage. Other fruits, like the berries,
cannot be kept i'm the ripe condition
very long before deterioration and de-
cay set in. In still other cases, as with
the banana, the fruit may he picked
and transported advantageously before
the final ripening has begun, and this
process can then be controlled i'm the
market and nome as the conditions de-
mand.
The physical changes, like the var
iation in color of ripening fruits, are
familiar, since they are evident To the
senses but these alterations are mere
~ indicative of changes in the chemi-
cal makeup Of the fruits under the
conditions which determine ripening.
Heat, moisture, air, and light may all
participate in determining the charac-

Investigations in recent years have

place.
Among the changes are the trans
