MR.. WILSON AT COURT

After many months the real story
Of President Wilson's gorgeous joy
ride to Europe has been gathered and
It makes fne reading for the common
people who bought Liberty Bonds to
pay the bills.
President Wilson, on his first re-
turn from Europe to the United
States, delivered an address In Bos-
ton. He referred, quite inadeQuately
of course, to the adulation with which
he was received In the royal halls and
the sybaritic salons of European cap
itals, and added:
"Was there ever so wonderful q
thing seen before? Was there ever -
moving thing?"
The rapture expressed by the Pres
ident was proof that the splendors OF
court life had moved him very deep
" and had taken possession Of his
thoughts. He beheld the glitter, the
obsequiousness, the iattery, and ap-
parently thought 1t genuine. So he
exclaimed, at first sight Of the plain
men and women Of America:
"Was there ever so wonderful
thing seen before?"
In that emotional state Of ecstacy
over the magnificence set before him
the President went to the Peace Con-
ference. He had appraised, appar-
emily, the outward show for the real
heart Of European diplomacy.
Was the American President so in
toxicated with the adulation OF the
movement Of the moment that he ac-
tualy imagined himself to be the new
and single uplifting force in the
world-the sovereign, by virtue OF
the gilded display, Of all civilization
and the sole OCCUPANT Of Mount Olyp-
mus?
John Maynard Keynes, the British !!
financial expert at the Peace Confer
has written book in which he says
that the simple American President
was deliberately ''bamboozled" by
Lloyd George, Mr.. Clemenceau, and
their associates. Was royalty also
participant in the "bamboozling"
But what was the nature of the
spectacle that so moved the successor
of Jefferson, who rode on horseback
tohis Inauguration? What was this
most wonderful pageant since the
Queen Of Sheba dazzled the other wis
est man in history?
The New York Times sent its best
writer to London to paint the pic
ture. Here is part of his cabled
story:
mo more regal settin CHAD ever
been arranged in Buckingham Palace
than that which greeted President
Wilson when he was escorted into the
banuuet hall for the State dinner.

der the surface in order to prevent
roofing. Furthermore, dirt floors
should be wetted down at frequent in
tervals to prevent the accumulation of
dust, which is particularly injurious to
hogs where they have to breathe It
continually in their sleeping quarters.
The use Of crude oil Is very helpful in
remedying this difficulty. The floor Of
the hog house should also be well
drained, particularly in the case of
dirt floors, so that when q heavy rain
occurs the run-off water will be car
ried away instead of being centralized
within the hog house to form q mud
wallow.
The matter Of ventilation Is often
overlooked In hog-house construction.
Facilities for air circulation are es-
sential, as In properly ventilated
houses there is much less danger of
the hogs piling up and little, If any,
danger of them going out from the
houses in the morning reeking with
steam, conditions which usually are
present where the hogs are housed in
poorly ventilated shelters. 1t is also
essential, the department specialists
say, that the hog quarters be provided
with plenty Of fresh, bright, dry bed.
