A
Oakland, Miss. is the largest city
in the United States for its size.
There are cities in North Mississippi
having more people but there is no
spot on earth inhabited by people of
greater loyalty and patriotism or
possessing bigger hearts, more ener-
gy or more willing disposition to
help and aid their country and gov
.ernment in every way possible.
Uncle Sam says "Hooverize," and
Oakland cheerfully complies.
Uncle Sam says buy Liberty Loan
Bonds and War Savings Stamps, and
Oakland goes over the top buying
more than their quota or allotment
of both bonds and stamps.
Uncle Sam says raise more food
products, the boys in the trenches
must be fed while at the same time
the people at home and our allies
must be fed. Oakland responded
cheerfully and manfully to this re-
quest, and put on campaign of
education that brought great results
in the Oakland neighborhood.
Now is the Harvest Timei The
wonderful results of the flood cam
paign" put on by the patriotic people
Of Oakland vicinity, in fact the whole
Of Yalobusha and eastern part of
Tallahatchie County as Oakland's
influence covers that scope of terri
tory, are being harvested and garner
ed for market and home use. What
q magnifcient-marvelou showing
for the years work!
In cooperation with the County
-1arm Agent. A. G. Spinks and the
County Home Economies Agent,
Miss Lillian Doris, the Oakland
businessmen and the Bank of Oak
land have planned on giving the good
people of their vicinity Community
Fair, grand patriotic day of profit
and pleasure. A time and place
where every producer can proudly
display the choicest exhibits in stock,
poultry, agricultural products, home
canning, preserving, and needle work.
The generous business institutions
have most literally donated funds
so that valuable cash prizes will be
awarded in every department. A
large premium list of exhibits have
been made up-don't worry whether
your product is in the list or not,
just come along with your exhibit
and if it is not on the list, a class
will be made for it. This will be a
Fair" for everybody and the square
businessmen of Oakland will see that
every producer has square deal.
For amusement, q most excellent
program has been arranged, and there
will not be dull hour during the
entire day. The main features of
the days pleasures will be a patri-
otic address by DR.. Roswell w.
Rodgers of the University of Missis-
sippi. Another event worth going
hundreds of miles to see will be the
visit of monstrous Air Ship coming
from the United States Aviation
Camp, Park Field, and which will
land in Oakland on that day. 1t
will also be an all-day celebration of
the Fourth Liberty Loan, and no
loyal, patriotic citizen could afford
to be absent.
