kOHIRABI.

IN Austria and Germany kohlrabi
is 4 great favorite and there Is no
reason why it should not be better
known in this country. 1t Is some
times remerred to as the turnip-rooted
cabbage, which is apt as It is inter-
mediate between the turnip and the
cabbage and combines the flavor OF
both. The edible part of this veget-
able is q turnip-shaped bulb formed
by the enlargement Of the stem.

PROSPERITY SOMEWHERE.

Down at the store the other day
Neighbor Stevens said he had to buy
a new reaper this year. but objected
to the price the dealer asked. he
said that was SO more than he paid
in 1890 for the old one. The dealer
reminded him that he paid for the
reaper in 1890 with 800 bushels or
corn at 20 cents a bushel, and added:

TAKE CARE OF
YOUR LAND

Progressive Farmer:-I lrave felt
for some time that there was much
need for better terracing and running
rows on the farms in order to pre-
vent so much washing during the
heavy rainfalls. [ have seen thousands
Of dollars worth Of soil washed away
IN one night in this section, and, Of
course. it can never be replaced. How
silly it is on the part Of farmers and
land owners to buy land and then not
take care of it! It is so easy to ter
eacc land and run rows Systematically
and then to think that SO few people
do this It is astonishing
/ have seen great lanes washed
through the cotton fields, some 10 or
II feet wide, and this occurred TO me:
We might lose money and perhaps find

again.

terraces well fixed, it is easy to keep
them fixed by always beginning to

this way you will gradually get them
higher until there is hardly any dan

Worlds Work, in its latest issue, has
the following snappy paragraphs on
the subject:
Different from the sheer ignorance
and gullibility of persons who fall into
mines Mark Twain, you will recall,
describes a mine as hole in the
ground, owned by a liar)-somewhat
different is the credulity of those who
are likely to be taken in by the crafty
promoters of land 'booms.' But -
word of warning is appropriate now
against these gentry. Especially are
New York, Chicago. and the smaller
cities of the farther west overrun with
get-rich-quick operators in real es-
tate, who sell lots 'sight-unseen' to
foolish women and asinine men.
Florida, Texas and the northwest
have produced big crop of promo
ters who sell all sorts and conditions
of farm lands by mail, finding their
buyers among both the innocent and
the greedy, such people as are caught
by promises of profits ranging from
100 to 1000 per cent a year.
These swindlers flourish because
a large, legitimate business in land is
done in these states where land val
ues have risen fast because of pro
ductiveness and OF an increased de

quickly, but surely, by the purchase
of carefully selected land in Florida,
in Texas, and in other southern
states, ana in the northwest is a good
chance But a man is a fool who will
trust his money with stranger for
such a purpose.
Fraud in real estate in any region

that region back, and it concerns ev-

ity would make them ridiculous and
harmless were it not for the gullibil-

times called The Dear Public
The Record recently suggested and
urged that the authority of the state
government, through the department
OF agriculture, be employed for pro

THE GLOBE, Ocala's Undertaking Store

Among Ocala's most thriving insti-
tutions is The Globe, of which a photo
reproduction appears below.
Mr.. B. Goldman, it's sole proprietor,
came to Ocala about five years ago,
and opened up a moderate sized stock
of goods on North Magnolia street. By
constant and close attention to his
business and the judicious use of the
local newspapers advertising space
he soon outgrew the store-room he
had chosen for his business venture
in Ocala. He then began casting about
for a larger store-room and a more
central location. Fortunately for him,
plans were being made up for the en-
largement of the Anderson building
on the west side of the court house
square, and he secured a lease for a

Slipper DaX In Holland

There is a curious festival called
shipper day celebrated in Holland.
Slipper day in the Netherlands is the
one day in the year In which the Dutch
woman claims superiority over her
husband. On that day she rules him

The Globe has. in its few years
home in Ocala, become the leader in
dress patterns, having for the past
two years had the agency for one of
the largest pattern establishments in
the country. An exceptionally large

inets at all times, so that customers
do not have the long wait usual in
such cases when they want any par

the firm determination of it's proprie-
tor to at all times and on all occa-
sions give each and every patron the
full value of every dollar spent at it's
counters. The motto, "Ocala's Under
selling Store" has been in all in
stances adhered to. and if there is
any dissatisfaction among the Gus
toners OF the establishment it is not
the fault of the proprietor as his in
variable rule is to refund money for
any purchase made that is not abso-
lutely as represented.
The Globe invites the people of
Ocala. Marion county, and all nearby
communities to call and inspect the
various lines of goods in its place, and
guarantees that at no store in the
south can better values be secured.
