CITY BOY VERSUS
A COUNTRY CALF
Lad Loses in Skirmish, but FL
naIIy Wins Out.
RUBS SALT ON HIDE
Kansas Farmer Tells the Newly Hired
College Youth to "salt the crltter,"
and What Happened After. That
Makes the Story.

Kansas City, KAMA farmer near
here recently hired city lad to help
him with chores on the farm The
first morning he instructed the boy to
take some salt out to the pasture and
salt the calf.
The boy took a quart Of salt In a
can, cought the "critter," pressed its
neck between his knees. and then be-
gan vigorously rubbing the salt into
the calls shoulders. Mr.. Cowlet I'M
mediately let out whoop, and with
mighty center rush, landed the boy
on his head, kicked him, scattered the
salt in all directions and did
Marathon across the prairie, head up,
back arched and tail bristling with
rage.
But Mr.. City Lad was no weakling
he had not played on the freshman
team for nothing, 80 he decided to salt
that calf or die in the attempt. he
went to the house, got little cloth
bag and filled 1t with salt, swung II
over his shoulder and took after that
calf, which was silhouetted against
the sky, which meant a hill haif
mile away.
No sooner had the lad turned the
corner to leave the corral than the
calf saw him, and saw that he didn
skid a particle as he came around the
, corner, SO he cleared a rod and a nan
at the first jump.
But he was no match to the young
college youth who had been chasing
. imaginary honors around a PADDED
track for several hours each day al
, winter, and after Is miles the cal
, gave up-the triumphant boy tool
him down and literally rubbed his sof
2 hide full Of salt
, The calf was perspiring, OF course
!: and the salt was formed into q su
l. penatural salt solution which, as
q began to cool, precipitated until tn
, poor calf looked like walking piec
of rock salt.

that they licked every bit OF hair on.
1t then got cold, and the calf had to
wear a sweater and two pairs OF

AWARDS THE BLOCK
PAVING CONTRACT
Newark Concern. Lowest Bid
der, Given Provisional Award
by Board of Works.

The Newark Paving Company,
which was the lowest of eight bid
ders, was Professionally awarded the
contract for the paving of Broad
street with wood block by the Board
of Works yesterday afternoon. The
approximate cost will be $273,473.
President Patrick H. Ryan, who
has been unalterably opposed to wood
block and who has sustained the
mayor in his vetoes against this kind
of pavement, alone voted against the
award.
Commissioner Albert H. Biertuemp-
fel, chairman of the lighting COM
mittee, submitted a report of condi-
lions In his department. Although
the disbursements for 1918 show a
net decrease of $7,8954s, as compared
with 1912. there is also a decrease In
1913 of receipts and appropriations of
$17,465 over 1912, leaving a deficit of
$9,56s.57, the report sets forth
This deficit, the report explains, is
due to a bill for gas amounting to
over $3.50 from the previous year
and to the fact that there was a de-
crease of $6,734.90 In the receipts from
merchants associations and a de-
crease of $10,671.64 in appropriations
over last year.
Mr.. Biertuempfel also brought UP
the fact that he had not yet received
a price from the Public Service Cor
poration for the new arc lights. al
though they had promised to submit
them. On motion of Mr.. Denman,
the clerk was instructed to notify the
Public Service to quote a price before
next Thursdays meeting, and telling
them II the reply was not forthcom-
ing negotiations would at once be
dropped.
Commissioner Denman, chairman
of the sewer department, submitted
report in regard to the pipe sewer
and pumps in Frelinguysen avenue
between Peddie street and Meeker
avenue, declaring that forty-six
loads OF refuse had been removed,
consisting for the most part of hair,
lime and leather shavings from near
by tanneries.
The request of the Board of Fire
Commissioners for permission to
erect poles with fire alarm boxes and
small red light attached on Broad
street was referred to Mr.. Biertuemp-
fel, chairman of the lighting COM
mittee, and Chief Engineer Sherrerd.
In the matter of the extension of
Sixteenth avenue from Boylan street
to the city line a public hearing was
decided upon for next Thursday and
the clerk was instructed on motion
of DIR. Kraemer to notify improve
ment associations and as many prop
erty owners in that vicinity as pos
sible to that effect.

There will be only about half the
number of golfers eligible to COM
pete in the national amateur cham
pionship of the United States Golf
Association next years as there were
this year at Garden City, for the rea-
son that the executive committee of

in the handicap list. Heretofore six
has been the limit.
In the last list announced by the
association there were 442 names,
with O dozen or more additions in
the summer The elimination of the
men handicapped at six reduces the
list, according to the calculations OF
last spring, to ITO, but there will be
quite a few of the men at present
rated at advanced to the five d.
vision. At any rate, the list of eligi-
bles will be brought down to not
many more than 2oo
Some OF the prominent golfers at
present ranked in the six division
are w e. Conklyn, of Dunwoodie;
Colonel Alexander p. Gray, jr, of
land; f. G. Jennings, Nassau; r. M.

sorry for his weak memory and
ignorance of the existing facts.
HAS he forgotten the deplorable
and chaotic condition the accounting
division was in when turned over to
me? Does he not recall that many
accounts carried on our books for up
ward of from three to ten years.
which after painstaking efforts in ex-
animation and scr 'tinizing inspection,
reveal that over $4,000 should be
written off. Has he forgotten the
several hundred cases of unadJusted
claims which were held up and never
adjusted for reasons unknown to the
department? Do the continual dis
crepancies In the meter records, dis
covered by the present efficient in
spections showing q collection during
the early part of this year amounting
to $12674.93 for meters UNDERGRAD, or
consumers never assessed, not show
the most fragrant violation of busi-
ness management in this department?
Has he also forgotten that the recent
examination of the experts revealed
the department of water ran behind
for the year 1912 $17,42S.83 when 1t
should be at least self-sustaining
Does he not know that the item alone
of over SIT, 200 service arrears in hands
of comptroller was never included In
the assets of the department and that
a more thorough property inspection
is daily bringing to light properties
which were never charged on the
records. Has he forgotten the con-
dition of the duplicate payment fund
and other trust funds which required
months of special investigation in
order to ascertain the trial balance In
these funds and which investigation
revealed the fact that checks extend
ing over period of fourteen years
and loose currency were kept In pos
session of individuals instead of be-
ing deposited daily as at present.
THAT the water department now
shows a semblance of business order,
with an organization which Is doing
efficient and effective work, that out
of chaos has come order, is a condi-
ton for which am sure my colleague,
the former chairman certainly can.
not take credit, but should rather
be reproved for having permitted
such unbusiness-like conditions to
exist.
"I would also call to his attention

orderly procedure now In force the

FIREMEN AND ENGINEMEN
DELAY ADJOURNMENT
Convention May Not End Until the
Middle of the
Week.

Because Of the press Of business tn :
convention of the Brotherhood of Loco
motive F1remen and Enginemen that has
been In session here since early this
month was unable to adjourn yesterday,
as had been planned, and probably will
not close until next Wednesday or Thurs
day.
The report of the magazine committee
was made yesterday afternoon, and the
delegates voted to allow members of the
British firemen's organization to sub
scribe to the brotherhood magazine at
membership rates. The editor of the
magazine is an honorary member Of the
British organization.
The work of revising the constitution
and bylaws was finally completed and
the appeals committee brought in num-
Der of claims which had been referred
to 1t.
1t is expected that the election of Of
ficers will be held tomorrow or Tuesday.
and that the selection of the next con-
vention city will follow Immediately.
After that only routine business will be
left to be transacted.
The convention is one of the longest
ever held in Washington. and also one
of the largest more than 500 delegates
having been in constant attendance.
Oakland. Cal, is believed to be in the
lead for the next convention, to be held in
1916 but st. Louis, Denver, Toronto, In
dianapOlis and Cleveland are working
hard to obtain the meeting.
