Relative to the contracts Il was said
that the Thomas B. Smith Co. was not

Belgium ordinarily produces more than
enough to supply her own needs of all
agricultural products except wheat, and
before the war exported potatoes, sugar

situation this year is not as favorable
as In pre-war years, but Il may be said
that much progress has been made. and
that Belgium will be much less de-
pendent upon foreign sources Of supply
than In recent years.

quenee, much grain shows up frst at
the export ports instead Of at primary
market centers.

FOR BIG AMOUNT

The National Life Insurance
Company OF the Southwest has
broken all records previously es-
tablished by life insurance COM

urer and general manager of the
ella Farm company, one of the
largest and wealthiest farm corpo-

surance policy in the amount of
$3.50, 600.
The fact that New MeXicOs own

competition with many of the
larger eastern companies certainly
demonstrates that the people of
this state are firm believers in pa
tOnizing their home industries.
The National. since organization,

The president of the company,

that the circular was being printed

Wilson'S Judgment Poor.
At the end of the war, he de-
clared, President Wilson made a
capital error of judgment in go
ing in person to conduct peace ne
gotiations in Paris. This, he said,
made necessary the like attendance
OF heads of other nations involved,
with the result that they lost con-
tact with their immediate advisers,
with their parliaments and with
their peoples"
The peace settlement, he said,
coming under the pressure of the
times. and in settlement of the is
sues of war, was a mistake.
This procedure, far from a
trump of craftsmanship" he add
ed, was a blunder of the first
magnitude and is chiefly respon-
sible for the unhappy events of the
past two years. for the outbreak of
a dozen minor wars. for the delay
in economic reconstruction, and for
the feelings of despair and de-
pondency that have settled down

fuse cooperation to make the
