Exceeded by other provinces In forestry and fisheries only, Ontario takes first place In farming, mining, electric power, banking, and manufacturing. Not only that; she Is dominant In many cultural ways. And while Quebec, New Brunswick, product that Is not also made In Canada under the same trade-name- . Scattered over all southern Ontario you see factories making farm and other machines, motor cars and parts, chemicals, electrical goods, foods, items of rubber and glass. Familiar advertisements run In the papers; window displays are the same as one might see In Pittsburgh or Minneapolis. The reasons for this migration of American Industries are plain ; proximity, common language, similar tastes and living standards, and particularly the Import tariff; also, many American firms too small to Eufinance a factory In rope or the Orient have here only to move across the line. "What share of all the things you sell Is made In Canada?" one asks at a sporting goods shop. "About 80 per cent now," says the clerk ; "and It's growing each year. All these bicycles, sweaters, fishing tackle, bats and balls, boots and socks they are all Canada-made.- " Manitoba, Saskatchewan, Alberta and British Columbia share the common frontier with us, all our relations social, financial, and economic are closest with Ontario.

His friendship and gererosity are as great as his ambition. His passions and ali his pursuits are exerted for the benefit of mankind." Zenas H. Ellis of Fair Haven, who lives In the old Matthew Lyon home, has. gathered a notable collection of Colonial relics, Including a copy of book and one of the Franklin's autobiography. "Together with Essays Humorous, Moral and Literary, chiefly in the manner of the Spectator. Printed and sold by J. Lyon, Fair Haven, Vt, 1798." James Lyon was the eldest son of Col. Matthew Lyon. The book Is printed on paper made In Colonel Lyon's mill and bound In leather tanned In bis tannery. It was James Lyon who published at Fair Haven the paper in which was printed Matthew Lyon's article attacking President John Adams, which caused Colonel Lyons' arrest under the alien and sedition law. He wsa fined $100 and sentenced to four months' Imprisonment at Vergennes. He was In jail at the time of the congressional election, but his con stituents rolled up so large a majority for him that he was released to return to congress. The largest crowd assembled In Vermont in earty days sped him on his way. He ar rived In time to cast the decisive vote that made Thomas Jefferson President over Aaron Burr. The restless spirit of the pioneer now urged Matthew Lyon to turn from things accomplished to a new country where everything was yet to be done. In Fair Haven he was at the head of a household of 16. Leaving his sons In charge of his many enterprises, he went to Arkansas and later to Kentucky, the next state after tlr original 13 to be admitted to the Union. Here he made his home for the rest of his life, and from here he was again returned to congress. Made Jefferson President Nearly two centuries ago, July 14, 1750, there was born In Ireland a boy destined to become a big busi- ness man, to represent two of our states in 'congress and to cast the deciding vote for a President of the then unthought-o- f United States of America, Mary Gilbert Smith writes, in the Boston Globe. His father, a member of a prom-'nefamily, was executed for his riart In the White Boys' Insurrec-ion- . His mother married again. Young Matthew Lyon, studious and enterprising, was well treated by his stepfather, who was proud and fond of the boy. But he had heard of the strange new land beyond the seas and longed 'o try his fortunes there. One morn-'nwhen he was fourteen he with a sea captain to carry 'ilm to the province of Connecticut In eturn for his services as cabin boy. 'Ie had a guinea which he had saved 'rom his pocket money, and he gave 'his to the captain for The captain hid him In the hold, so hat no one would find him before the essel sailed, and took the precaution fo lock him in. Had he not done so, Matthew's adventure would voting lave ended that same morning. When his stepfather came seeking g d -- safe-keepin- dm, and called to him effectlonately. he lad would have responded at once lad he not been restrained by the 'ocked door. When they reached Connecticut, fhe captain betrayed the boy's trust iy selling him Into service as a one of those Impecunious emigrants who paid for their passage to the New world by serving for a number of ts vears. Fortunately for young Matthew, his services were secured by Jabez- Ba bond-servant- s con, one of the wealthles merchants In Connecticut; he was worth half a million when he died a vast sum for those early days. His example and precepts did much to set the ambitious boy on his way. Trade at that time was largely by barter. Bacou gave a yoke of oxen for Lyon's services until he was twenty-one- . In after years when the young Irishman was a candidate for office this Incident was distorted by his political opponents to show that he was of low origin and unfit to be a representative In congress. Lyon never apologized for the manner of his entry Into Connecticut nor told of the deception that had been practiced upon hira. Rather, he acted as If It were something he was proud of. He swore "by the bulls that redeemed me" to beat his opponents and he did. Of his work here, J. A. Graham, In a book published In London in 1797, says in part: "Fair Haven Joins on Skenesbor-oug(now Whitehall, N. Y.) and ;s the most flourishing manufacturing town in the state. It owes its consequence to Its founder. Colonel Lyon, whose enterprise and perse verance in promoting and carrying on manufactories has been of Infinite utility to the public. He has erected a furnace for casting all kinds of hollow Iron ware and two forges, a slitting ml" for the making of nail rods, a paper mill, a printing press and corn and sawmills. "It Is a curious fact that Colonel Lyon has executed a good deal of printing at his office, on paper ma mi factured by himself of the bark of the basswood tree, and which Is found to answer every purpose for common printing. "He has held some of the first of above-mentione- d Radio May Be Weapon in Pest Extermination Several years ago the writer made some prel!minary tests on small quantities of Infested wheat with 'a view to determining If radio methods could be effectively used to exterminate the eggs and larval forms which may be concealed within the material, as well as the adult Insects. Thirty and waves wera six-met- used, the former of low capacity and the latter of high capacity. The waves were effective In exterminating adult insects In small quantities of wheat within a period of about 90 seconds, but the eggs later hatched out With the waves, an exposure of six seconds was sufficient to exterminate eggs, larvae and adults. The testing plant has been In operation for a year and many kinds of Infested materials have been successfully treated, including wheat, corn, flower and garden seeds, tobacco, spices, nuts, beans, peas, cocop beans, packaged and bulk milled cereals, and so on. er Results of the writer's research work indicate definitely that weevils in all stages of their development, from eggs to adults, can be exterminated without Injury to the germinating properties of grain, or appreciably affecting the moisture content, and without adversely affecting the food value. There are indica tions that the germinating properties of wheat and other seeds treated may be enhanced. Worms, mites and other Infestations of cocoa beans, spices, tobacco, nuts, packaged cereals, and so on, can be exterminated without Injury ta the products treated. Where the equipment Is properly installed there are no adverse effects upon persons working or stationed in the vicinity of the apparatus. J. II. Davis In the Scientific American.
