PENOBSCOT FARMERS
HARD HIT BY DROUTH

Bangor, Aug 6.-Penobscot county
farmers, who were hard hit by the
exceedingly dry summer are dispos-
inging of their surplus cattle as rap
idly as possible and in some instances
are selling stock actually needed on
the farms as they feel they cannot
afford to winter them owing to the
high cost of hay and other feeds.
Some are holding out until later in
the season, but the general tendency
is to get rid of the stock. AS an in
dication of the drop in the value of
cattle one man recently sold five cows
for 1925, and these could not be pur-
chased a year ago for less than 500
zach, the price at that time ranging
rom 800 to SIPS for the same grade
If stock 1t is predicted that the To-
al market will be well stocked with

Already number Of tentative
agreements have been made be-

q man is in office the people want
him to come among them and ne

That's IS it should be. for this is
a popular government and let me
say TO YOU that no president ever
could do anything of which the
American people did not approve.
Let me tell You also that it is a
difficult thing to conduct the Gov
eminent of the United States. We
have Just emerged from a satacIys-
mis- world war. Things have been
turned upside down. 1t is a time
when America must keep her hat on
straight when America must he con

passing that I have more confidence
in America tonight than | ever had
before in all my life.
