To the Editor of The Republican.

To the Editor of The Republican.
Oakland is beautiful despite the fact
that the drought left it's imprint upon
much of the vegetation, but not half
so destructive as in many of the neigh
boring towns, for which we are CRATE.
full. But we must not forget the Yard
and Garden Contest is still on and
very soon the judges will make their
final rounds, so let's get everything in
"apple-pie order" only clean the
yards and gardens, but the walks and
rid everything of weeds, especially
the rag weeds to prevent hay fever.
Labor Day will likely bring great
numbers of guests to Oakland, so let
us look our very best by cleaning up
the town; make our homes and yards
attractive and welcome "the strangers
within our gates"
You know one appreciates any cour-
tesy shown one when in a strange
town, so edo as you would be done
by."
