But he has good reason to fear
she will kid the lie out of him if
he has always taken a superior
attitude toward women and has

can be trusted to handle money.
FAIRNESS is RECIPROCAL
If he has been fair and generous
in his attitude toward her abil-

But if he has built up picture

Poor hen-pecked husband, moth

Before you start feeling sorry for

Isn't it likely that the reason
the husband doesn't want his wife

that he is one of those men who

that women don't know anything

Red Army Mission 5
Activities in Paris
Cause New Concern
By Paul GhoIi
Foreign Correspondent Of The Stor and
the Chieoso Dolly News

PARIS, June 20.-The numerous
activities in France of the Russian
military mission officially in charge
of the repatriation of Russian
soldiers are causing much concern
to French authorities, who are try
ing to check and limit them.
This mission was established i'm
mediately after liberation under the
command of 1t. Gen. Dragun as
the counterpart of an identical
French mission in Moscow, dealing
with French soldiers in Russia.
Since that time the Russian mis-
sion in France appears to have ex-
tended its activities from the
stranded troops of the dissident
Russian Gen. Andrei A. Vlassov
to White Russian emigres. It is
also engaged in surveillance of
anti-Soviet Polish, Yugoslav and
Balkan citizens.
Officially, Gen. Dragun's activities
extend to Belgium, Holland and
even Switzerland. but the seat of
this strange mission is in Paris at
the former E:stonian Legation.
Although the staff of the mission
was recently reduced, it is still con-
siderable. Until recently, at least,

Crops Planted Despite
Labor Machine Lacks
Montana's Principal Crops May Have Slightly
Smaller Acreage This Year-Farmers Of u. S.
Respond Again For Heavy Production

Total paintings of principal crops
in Montana this season are expected
to be smaller than in 1915, the
bureau of agricultural economics re-
ports. Should farmers carry out
the plans expressed March 1, larger
acreages of corn, oats, barley, beans
and sugar beets will be planted.
These increases will be more than
offset by smaller acreages of spring
wheat, flax, dry beans and potatoes.
Faced by labor and machinery OBJ
s%tacles, the planting, c%ultivating and
harvesting of 6,858,000 acres of
principal crops this year will again
call for ingenious and dilligent eff
fort on the part of farmers and
their families.
A decrease of s per cent in spring
wheat paintings for 1916 is slightly
more than compensated by a Ia
per cent increase in the winter
wheat acreage planted last fall. The
acreage of all wheat is placed at
