In this simply-worded sentence. uttered during the course of a speech at Prince Rupert, the Duke of Devonshire, statesman, diplomat and traveller. paid tribute to Can- ada. of which he was then Gover- nor-General.

Sir Francis Bond Head was the |Governor of Upper Canada duringi ,{the rebellion of 1837-38. This Eng- `. ;lish representative in a then Britishi . ggcolony J found himself faced-with. . many difficulties with which he was .< [probably not fully'tted- to grappleu through a lack of, understanding of - local conditions and through senti- 5.,ment. He, however, did his duty as sihe saw it during the Mackenzie up- V rising by sending into action all the _` ,1 forces at his disposal for its defeat. Historians both attack and defend . 3 his career in Upper Canada and his 9 `narrative written after his return to ! g-England is largely his personal de- fence. He returned to England after 0 a_ stormy two years in Canada in ,-. 1838, after Lord Durham had made [_lhis, report. A Canadian `biographer g delicately says that he was unable I-. to bring himself into harmony with! n his environment. The plague of} ,3 I his life was William Lyon Mackenzie,I 1] and in a book written after his re- d turn to the Old Country Sir Francis (1 wrote of Mackenzie: He is with-I out exception the most notorious liar} n in all Canada.

An in- I vestigation would, we believe, develop the fact that much the greater number of losses` H on farm buildings occur just after the barns I 3; have been filled, and at a time when little lightiug of any kind is in. use. Most Ofa -4 these are due to accidents at threshing and 3lsilo-filling, or to lightning or spontaneous` Hcombustion. There is always very great` ildanger during threshing--high wind, fric-l 5* tion, sparks and unlimited quantities of` Vlcombustible niaterial, making an exceeding-a 3 ly hazardous combination. As a` partial- ` protection against this hazard, the U.F.O.,f ` at-the last annual convention; advised that laall -threshing outfits be required to carry} tlefficient chemical -fire extinguishers as part of the outfit.
