Ey the association as one of the most
important problems of the day from
the church point of view. Following
the address, many members of the
association, in informally discussing
the topic, declared in favor of more
stringent laws which would prohibit
the wholesale immigration of foreign
ers, which laxity of the present laws
permit They urged laws similar tc
those of Canada, and declared that
the law should contain a section which
would send the majority of the immi-

 Royal custom demands in cases of courtship between a woman of the royal blood and man of lesser nobil- ity, the proposal be made by the wo- man. The embarrassment of this was what the little princess had in mind, and she said so, frankly enough, despite her blushes. She wanted to become her hero's wife, and since she had to propose, she was doing so.
 For the first time in many years Lord Kitchener smiled He took heroic pains to conceal his amaze ment and amusement, however, be- yond this one manifestation. He told her that he appreciated the great honor she conferred upon him by even considering his eligibility to become her consort, but that he felt much too old to consider it.
 Something of the answer had oc cured to the princess before she put the question and she was prompt with a rejoinder. With a laugh she waved aside the age objection and said that her aunt, the crown pr1n- cess, had married a man many years her elder and had lived a perfectly happy welded life Thus placed on the defensive, Lord Kitchener made no definite reply to the proposal suggesting instead that she talk the matter over with her father.

1914 products well sold ahead
in all lines. Retail business
was active last week and there
was II marked Improvement in
collections. Stocks are low in
all lines and merchants report
that goods are hard to get
Work is plentiful and labor is
scarce. The coal trade has re
celvcd quite an impetus from
the cold and both steam and
domestic are in demand. Con-
siderable complaint is heard
from the coal people over the
