Garbage and Patriotism.

To eat cabbage is not pebeian, it is
patriotic. Cabbage is grown in back
yards in all parts of the United States,
and If it is made an important part Of
the vegetable diet it replaces shipped in
foods which require transportation space.
The United States food administra-
ton advises the use of homegrown veg
etables not only as matter of saving
shipping space but as a saving of food
which cannot be sent abroad. The fol-
lowing recipes may add to the list of
usual ways Of preparing cabbage;
Victory Cabbage.
Slice cabbage and soak in cold water.
Put one quart OF cabbage in stewpan
with two tablespoons of butter or butter
substitute, one-half teaspoon OF salt,
one tablespoon finely chopped onion, few
gratings Of nutmeg, and few grains of
cayenne. Cover and cook until cabbage
is tender. Add two tablespoons of vim
egar and cook five minutes.
Cold-Sl
Select small. heavy cabbage, take
off outside leaves, and cut in quarters.
Slice very thiniy with q sharp knife.
Soak in cold water until crisp, drain, dry
between towels, and mix with cream
salad dressing

by older people. Dorothy Dexter.

Commend Sunday Farm Work.

Judges in Tennessee have refused to
punish persons accused of work on farms
on Sundays, but have commended them
Tor so doing. This was reported to the
department of agriculture's recent farm
labor conference in Birmingham, Ala
Not long ago the rural churches of In
diana, in conference at Purdue univer-
sitv, took the position that it is quite
right and proper to do farm work on
Sunday if that Sunday work is necessary
to produce food crops to help whip Ger
many.

oCALA TWENTY YEARS AGO

At the home of the brides parents,
Mr.. and Mrs. J. G. Reardon, Miss
Maude Reardon was married to Mr..
w. K. Pendleton, Rev. C. NJ. Gray Of
floating. The young couple left on
a wedding trip to New Orleans.
At the armory, the ladies of the
Presbyterian church gave an art ex-
hibition and musicale, lasting two ev-
enings. Among the attractions were
Scotch tunes rendered on the bag
pipe by George MacKay in Highland
costume. George also exhibited the
Highland fling.
At the home of Mr.. and Mrs. Jul
ius Israel, their daughter, Miss Paul
inc, was welded to Mr.. Morris
Stearn.
Ocala with the rest of the country
was excited over the news of the de-
struction of the Maine in Havana
harbor.
An entertainment given by Miss
Fannie Clark for the benefit of suf-
fering Cubans proved a great success.
An entertainment for the benefit of
the library was given at the opera
house. Among the actors who won
applause were G. c. Stapylton, Miss
BERTHE Badger, Dave Woodrow, Burt
Redding and George Mexican.
1t was reported that Captain Inglis
was having soundings taken at the
mouth of the Withlacoochee river.
This was the beginning of Port In
glis.
The first article written by the
present editor for the Star, a criti-
cism on the opera house curtain, APP
peared in the paper. We can't say
that his style has improved any in
twenty years.
The Ocala Dancing Club gave its
last hop before Lent. The gay young
folks who participated are counting
their gray hairs now-all except some
who haven't any hair left.
The Metropolitan Band gave a
most successful concert and dance at
the opera house. Albert Gerig and w.
w. Condor engineered the affair.
The Star told about Ocala's first
cold storage plant, at the old ice fac
tory. 1t could actually take care of
the carcases of six beeves at one
time
Mrs. Lucy Yonge Hooper, aged so
years, passed away at the home of her
brother, Mr.. R. E. Yonge. Her re-
mains were laid to rest in Greenwood.
News came from Barlow that Hen
ry Sistrunk, who had been so i'll his
life was despaired of, was out of
danger.

INFORMATION APPRECIATED

The Star thanks the good people
who helped it obtain information on
the cost, as they also helped it to OBJ
tain the following compliment from
a department of the government:
Washington, Feb. %.
Editor Star: Your returns to the
Cost of Living inquiry are at hand,
and for your prompt and hearty CO.
operation the sincere thanks of this
commission are extended to you. In
our effort to bring about a speedy and
approximately correct adjustment of
the railroad wage situation, we firmly
believed we would have the hearty
cooperation of the press. 1t is man
ifest that we were not mistaken-as
usual the press of the country may be
relied upon to forward whatever is
undertaken in the interest of justice"

SEND NAMES TO THE STAR

Congressman Clark is always ready
to help Marion county. The follow
ing letter from him explains itself:
Washington February 21st.
Editor Star: / notice statement
in the Star to the effect that there
ought to be an agent in Marion coun-
ty to keep track of the cotton ginned
and make reports to the department
of agriculture When / saw your ar
ticle, | took the matter up with the
director of the census, and he has
asked me if could furnish him with
a list of ginners in Marion county, so
that they might consider the matter
and arrive at definite conclusion.
| wish you would see if you can
send me a list of the ginners, so
can give it to the director of census.
With best wishes, | am
Very truly yours,
Frank Clark.
The Star requests all the ginners in
the county to send their names to it
at once, so it can forward them to
Mr.. Clark. 1t will be of advantage to
the county to have this matter at
tended to.

Before another public speaker ad-
dresses our people from the band
stand, that venerable structure should
be swept out. The faded flag that
hangs over the entrance should be
taken down and laid away It would
be pretty good idea to have chairs
in the stand whenever there is pub
lie speaking. The narrow bench that
now runs around inside the railing is
most wearisome to sit on more than
ten minutes, and we doubt not that it
has been the cause of many a man
leaving town with prejudice against
Ocala.

At the speaking Friday night,
Mayor Chace inaugurated a rule that
may do away with one of the NUS
ances that has hitherto attended such
occasions. He had the streets con-
tiguous to the bandstand roped in in
stead of roped off, so that people in
cars who attended were given to I'M
derstand they must remain till the
speaking was over. This also kept
the usual needless ones from butting
thru the crowd. The plan worked well
on this occasion and may be repeat
ed. It is pleasant for people who
have autoes to attend such events in
their cars, but as they can't move
without disturbing the speakers and
the audience, they shouldn't go un-
less they intend to stay it thru.

The Star doesn't see much use in
discussing no-fence law. Less than
a fourth of the land in this county is
under fence, and the farmers and
stockmen will snow under any candi-
date who makes no-fence his plat
form. The fence question will settle
itself in time with more population
and improved herds of cattle and
hogs Blooded stock doesn't do well
on wiregrass, and our people are
steadily importing and raising the
better breeds.
