Of serious elaboration than ceremony
the greatest peace conference in ali

1t was not in eloquent speeches, nor
in details of organization nor in the
assembling OF distinguished delegates,
but in the great mass OF the people

erals like Foch and others IN the back
ground seemed reduced IN the scene

No nation, no individual presided or
dominated unless 1t was the ~unconscl-
Gus domination of the great peoples In
the outside world eXerted upon the
chosen delegates which seemed the very
atmosphere Of the meeting Itself.

Notables Arrive.

At 1905 Mr.. Balfour arrives and smil-
ingly greets President Wilson. Pre-
mier Clemenceau moves busily among
the delegates as the host at a social
function. At $40 President Poincare
enters. There is no APPLAUSE, no music,
no demonstration
Quietly and with all the delegates
standing, he begins his speech. Lloyd
George arrives in the middle of 1t. and
takes his place on the left side OF
Premier Clemenceau, noddlng to freSl-
dent Wilson. The British premier looks
the picture Of health. The French
president reads his address in French
in a low voice. 1t Is rather a long
| speech, but in 1t he pays gracious trib-
ute to each nation represented. There
is not a sound when he finishes, but
the delegates sit down as the translator
arises, He is a British officer, who
speaks French and English equally
well. He translates the speech offhand
with remarkable accuracy.
Those who understand French look
a trifle impatient at the second read
ing, but il is necessary to have every
thing said twice because of the i'm
portanCe of every word and every pro-
Cedure. Language makes little diff
ference with an expert translator. Pre-
mier Clemenceau arises at the END OF
the address and calls for the nominal
ton of the permanent chairman, Presi-
dent Wilson, In an eXtemporaneous
sneech briefly and e%loquently pays trib-
ute to the great personality Of the
French premier. He characterizes the
meeting the supreme conference in
the history of mankind" His address
acquires forcefulness from the sim
| plicity in which it Is delivered. He looks
tired, everybody listens with intense in
t%erest. At $40 Mr.. Wilson sits down,
| having spoken but a few minutes. His
speech has been warm in praise OF
Clemenceau, but again there Is no
sound and no applause from the dele
gates, but there is seeming approval
in the silence.

commission salesman must judge what
amount Of meat each animal viii yield,
and how 6ne 1t win be, the grading Of
the hide, and the quantity and quality
of the fat.
Both mlnt know market conditions
for live stock and meat throughout the
country. The buyer must know where
the different qualities, weights, and
kinds of cattle can be best mGketed

If the buyer pays moro than the
animal b worth, the packer loees money
on it. IF he offers less, another packer,

from him.
If the seller accepts too little. the i've
