FARMERS GET WORTHLESS
CHECKS

Fully thirty farmers have been de-
frauded by Benjamin Goldberg, cattle
buyer of Burlington, who issued checks
amounting to about $1,000, for which
he had no funds.
The checks were drawn on the
Howard National Bank. Burlington.
Goldberg bought pork and poultry in
New Haven, Weybridge, Bridport,
Addison, and other towns, paying a
little more than the market price.
States Attorney Sturtevant has issued
a warrant, but as the man had week S
start the prospect for his capture is
none too good. 1t has been found that
he drew his money from the bank before
his last buying trip.

HORSE RACING CARD.

The horse racing attractions at the State Fair in Berlin, September IA to 17, will be the. bestt that the asso- citation has ever offered. Because of the fact that the fair will be held earlier than usual this year the first races in the state stake races will be nun off here. There is @ decided ad- vantage in that arrangement. Horses will work out in those races and the heats will be fought out in earnest and all the we'll known horses will compete in the opening of the stake classes. These races will also bring out a number of new entries and the
 horses will be worked out for the first time in fast classes. Superin-
 tendent George Greene has a large
 entry list already filed and the
 day for the final closing Of the race
 entries will not be reached for few
 6ays There is talk of attempting to
 hold a couple of exhibition races at
 night. The plan now being con-
 sidered is to have the searchlightts.
 which will be a big feature of the
 night fair, so situated that they can
 be directed so as to light all around
 the track A couple of horses will be worked out on the evening previous to the opening of the fair and if it works out successfully the exhibition events will be held evenings during the fair. The night fair feature, which is introduced this year, is bound to prove popular. The vaude- vile performances will be given and as an added attraction grand displays of fireworks will be given every evening. There will be complete change of program every night. The electrical decorations will be a fea- ture of the fair. The band concerts 1 end dancing will be held every night. | The main hall will be used for dancing.

London, Sept. 3.-Bombardment of Belgrade, the Servian capital, has been resumed by the Austrians and
 Germans in large calibre howitzers, according to an official statement issued at Nish and quickly telegraphed by the Reuter- correspondent. The statement says: "The enemy bom- barded Belgrade with large caliber llowitzers The bombardment ceased after we shelled Semlin ( in Austria, on the tongue of land formed by the Junction of the Danube and the Save opposite Belgrade) and Panscova (across the Danube from Belgrade, in Austria), causing fires in Semlin and a panic in Panscova." It is believed by the military experts here that this region will be the scene of the next Austro German offensive. There is some speculation in military circles as to whether Roumania as we'll as Scrvia will be attacked because of Roumania's refusal to allow munitions of war to pass through to Turkey. So

ECONOMIC POLICY
 NEEDED IN TURKEY
Constantinople Bankers Says Ex- ploitation Must Cease in Empire

Correspondence of the Associated Press.>
 Constantionple, Sept. 3.-A banker of considerable prominence in Con- stantinople has given the Associated Press correspondent some idea of what may be accomplished in Turkey in event of the war having a favor able outcome for the Turks. Although the banker stipulated that his name should not be used at this time, his position and knowledge of the coun- try arc such that his statements, even appearing anonymously, may be con- sidered as of unusual importance.
 Discussing the essentials that would make Turkey strong and self-con- tained political unit after the war; he said at the outset that what Turkey needed today most was an economic policy that would leave something for coming generations. In other words exploitation would have to cease.
 Resources Enormous.
 'The undeveloped resources of the Ottoman empire are enormous,' he continued. Turkey, for instance,
 
 of Europe, if it's soil were adequately titled and marketing facilities provid- ed. Turkey could. supply all of Eu- rope with fruit and ship fully one- half of the meat now imported by Eu- ropean countries from South and America, Australia and New Zealand The intelligent cultivat ation of cotton would place Turkey next to the United tofo of The olive oil industry could be in- creased a thousand times. More wool could be exported. Ports of Anatolia and Syria are especially suited for the raising of plants of great medicinal value. Even coal of fair value could be shipped to the Mediterranean coun- tries"
 Before any of these things could be made possible, however said the bank CT, the Ottoman government would have to realize that a stable economic policy was necessary. Some of the Young Turks had already arrived at such conclusion but little had been done even by them, he asserted. Must Be Patient.
 "But we must be patient It is hardly two years now since the Turks themselves have taken to work. Up to that time the Turks held the erroneous notion that work was not particularly ennobling, that work, aft CT all, was for others-Kurds, Greeks and Armenians. With the Turks hold ing the reins of government, this view could lead but to one result a total lack of sound economic thought. Whatever was done had the meeting Of immediate needs as it's objective. Exploitation of a most ruthless na- ture ensued. Under this system the splendid forests of Turkey were de- stroyed: the peasant was taxed to death ana given no opportunity to improve either himself or his land; honest investors were kept out of the country, with the result that Turkey today has no industries, and is obliged even to ship its olive oil to Italy for refinement.

 The Turks take the very reason- able position that if their country is to be exploited, they would just as soon do it themselves" said this man. The grounds for Turkish mistrust of the foreigners are many unfortun- ately Turkey has been 'missioned and commissioned so often by in- competents and knaves that more ex~ perience of that sort seems super huous."

The first is not a doctrine, it is the

scientific it would be hard to find a
thing more so than this.

Witches were burned in the American

DOPE AND CRIME. The people
say that they have nearly abolished
crime, but think they will experience
more in the future, as they are now
making things worse instead of bet
ter. The officials who are supposed
to be wise men ought to be able to
look far enough ahead to remove
such obstacles that are a menace to
the welfare of the people, but instead
of abolishing them they are seeking
every possible means that will lead
to crime, for instance: The stopping
of drugs, for every dope fiend desires
to lead a peaceful life and keep out
of crime, for he knows crime viii de-
prive him of everything that is his
hearts desire, which is dope.
There has been many hardened
criminal restrained from crime for
fear of not getting the drug, and in
stead of stealing has taken to an hon
est life, went to work and remained
so for that cause only. There are
drug users that have been using
drugs for 20 and 80 years and it has
become a part of their life to them
and to stop them now would mean
almost to take their life, for it will
hardly be worth living to them.
Some of the wisest and most aris-
tocratic men of our country are drug
users, but they keep quiet for fear Of
the humiliation that will follow dis
covery. When they have the drug
they are harmless, but take # away
from them and they are as reckless
as the lion and their reason knows
