Dear Editor:

Dear EDITOR.
Whenever anyone, be he a
Republican or a Democrat, ap-
parently sets himself up as
political boss" he invariably,
at some future time, meets his
Waterloo. This applies to condi-
tions in any small county, such
as Noble and even larger; This
has been my observation pertain
ing to politics in the Fifteenth
Ohio Congressional District dur
ing the past far more than a
half century
1t is perfectly right and proper
for one to take an active part
in all political matters, even to
becoming an active party work
er, but a political boss" NEVERl
There is a vast difference be-
tween a boss and an advisor"
Party factionalism is classed
along with bossism.

The goldenrod Is yellow.
The corn Is turning brown,
The trees In apple. orchards
With fruits are bending down.
The gentian's biuest fringes
Are curling in the sun:
In dusty pods the milkweed
Its hidden silk has spun.
The sedses faunt their harvest
In every meadow nook;
And asters by the brookside !.
Make asters in the brook.
From dewy lanes ~ morning
The grapes sweet odors rise;
At noon the, roads all flutter
With yellow butterflies.
September days are here;
With summers best of weather
And autumn's best Of cheer.
But none Of all this beauty
! Which floods the earth and air
Is unto me the secret
Which makes September fair.
Tis a thing which I. remember;
To name It THRILLS me me yet:

TRADE RECIPES?

". L. r., Washington
This Is q trade with some
Of the RICH readers and my
first letter to the Clearing
House. although I have been
following 1t for 10 years since
/ came to Washington. / would
like to get some practical,
speedy dishes. I just moved
and lost a large and valuable
collection of recipes.
My trades are: To the lady
who asked about cooking liver,
this Is my method. ! buy beef
liver which ] don't wash until
I am ready to use. Salt to
taste on both sides, sprinkle
with q good coat of -four.
] use q large tin salt shaker
for my flour for such uses
and 1t is very convenient.
Have skillet on stove with one
slice Of bacon or more, and be
sure skillet is good and hot
with medium-size high flame
and bacon is cooked before
putting in the liver. Give the
liver q good quick hot fry on
one side until 1t is O good
brown, then turn over on the
other side and give it q quick
brown. Turn flame to low and
cook with lid until it is easily
pierced with a fork. II red
bubble forms when stuck with
fork, liver is rare inside. This
method will keep, liver from
getting hard and dry and
gives it a delicious flavor as
well as keeping it tender.
To the lady who asked for
scalloped potatoes, I have one
which ! think is the best OF
any scalloped potatoes / have
ever eaten. Prepare potatoes
for frying, cut them into me-
dium-thick slices, whole slices
II possible. Place potatoes IN
skillet and cover latter salt
ing) with just enough water.
Add butter when they begin
to get tender Cor you may
saute potatoes In butter with
out frying them before adding
the water. ! do this when /
slice some onion In them.).
Cook after adding butter until
you think the butter has pene-
trated, then add chopped
pieces Of American cheese. II
you have used the right
amount Of water, the cheese
will melt into a sauce. This
is a dish that can be made
in about 20 minutes and looks
beautiful. In turning, be care
full not to break or mash
potatoes.
I would like a good dough-
nut recipe. I was not success
full with the one in. RICH re-
Gently. I would also like a
good apple pie recipe, one that
uses a lot Of spice and is
juicy. Also, what is the secret
Of pie crust being soft and

Arlington Policemen
Lose Retirement Suif
-AP Wirephoto.

Arlington Commemorative At
torney William j. Hassan an
nounced today that a suit at
tacking legality of the county's
year-old retirement plan for po-
licemen had been decided in fa-
vor of county officials who en-
acted it.
Mr.. Hassan said Circuit Judge
William D. Medley, in a memo-
randum opinion last week, ruled
against the plaintiffs in the ac-
ton County Police Privates
Clayton w. Marshall and Charles
M. Mackey, jr.
The policemen, whose case was
handled by Attorneys Frank Ball
and John Locke Green, brought
suit against the Arlington Coun-
ty Board which repealed the old
policemen's pension plan in De-
cember, 1858.
Under the old plan, adopted
in 1916, policemen became eligi-
BILE to retire after 25 years serv-
ice. The new supplemental re-
tirement system provides for re-
tirement at the age of SIS, with
compulsory retirement at so. The
suit contended the County Board
had impaired the obligation of
a contract (the 1946 plan) and
has lessened and destroyed vest
ed rights )" of the plaintiffs.
In his opinion, Judge Medley
declared the County Board had
the right to "alter, amend or re-
peal an act providing a retire
ment system or plan for en-
ployes.w
The suit was initiated by Pvt.
Marshall last January. Pvt.
Mackey, designated in the action
as an intervening petitioner. filed
suit last February.
