u S. TICHTENS UP
MEXICAN BORDER
IMMIGRANTS BAR
New Regulations Sent to
Agents at All Points
Along Border

WASHINGTON, April % (R.-An
order Tightening up the restrictions on
the entrance of aliens to the United
States, particularly along the Canadian
and Mexican borders, was approved
today by Secretary Davis. of the labor
department, and sent to immigration
agentaat all ports of entry.
Officials explained that the intent of
the new regulations was to apply the
immigration law to persons residing
in Cuba, Mexico or Canada who regu-
larly or frequently cross the border to
engage in employment within the
United States.
All such persons hereafter will be
classified as immigrants and will have
to obtain the documents necessary for
the entrance of immigrants, including
a passport visa and pay the So head
tax. If they are natives of the
countries contiguous to the United
States they will be enabled to obtain
passport visas from American consular
agents within their own territory. If,
however, they are foreign-born resi-
dents of Canada, Mexico or other Latin
countries and have only been in the
custom of coming into the United
States since 1924 they will have to
obtain passport visas from American
consular agents in their native coun-
tries.
The order provides that a period of
six months from June 1 next is to be
allowed for persons affected to obtain
the necessary documents.
Foreign residents of Canada and the
other countries of five years standing
who frequently entered the United
States prior to 1924 will be placed
under practically the same condition
as natives.

Secretary Hoover was designated

HIGH SCHOOL AND
 ALUMNI EWES TO
 TANCLE TOMORROW

The first basketball games of the season to be played in Ju- neau, are on schedule for tomor- row night in the High School gymnasium, it was announced to- day by Coach Waid of the High School
 Some time ago the Alumni teams started regular turnouts and a date was set for a double header between the High School and the Alums, both boys and girls teams.
 Coach Waid's team is admitted lyJ weak on the defense and no man who is of sufficient stature and of aggrassive spirit has been uncovered to fill the center berth. Several men have been tried for the pivot position. but it is likely that Fred Arme will start as cen ter. because of his experience and playing ability, although he Is not all that Waid needs n height.
 Jim Orme, Burke and Brand are fighting 1t out for forward positions, while Fred Orme, John son and Jackson have been show ing speed and heady work. Berg ren is one of the few men who has showed up well as a guard in practice. Waid has cut his squad down considerably since the first turnouts so he could get down to working basis.
 On the Alumni outfit Garnick and Campen are expected to do most of tue heavy work, being the two who have had the most ex- perience.
 The dark horse of the evening will be the game between the two girls teams, as little is known as to their respective powers, and nothing definite has been given in the way of line-ups Miss Lowe has been coaching the High School girls diligently for some time and her outfit is expected to put up a good fight.

Protect Trees Against
DepredatiOnS of Mice

Field mice may seriously damage
fruit trees if other food materials be-
come scarce. They girdle the trunks
and sometimes the larger roots where
they are close to the surface of the
ground. Old trees as we'll as young
trees frequently fall victim of their
depredatiOns.
One plan used by orchardists to pre-
vent mouse damage is to rake grass
and other rubbish away from the tree
trunk for a radius of three feet. Aft
er this, the ground in this circle is
tamped to make it difficult for the
mice to burrow close to the trunk.
Sometimes repellant washes are
found to be effective. Concentrated
lime-sulphur painted on the trunks is
used for this purpose. 1t has been
found that pound of glue dissolved
in a gallon of lime-sulphur makes the
material stick better and lengthens
the repelling effect. The most salts
factory way of dealing with mice is
to poison them. Then they are sure
to stop depredations.

Purdue Dairymen Offer
Feed Guide for Bulls

With his head in rigid stanchion
$3.50 days in year, bull has a splen-
did chance to think over the mean
treatment his owner gives him. Very
often he gets the leftover or waste
feed. Such ratiOns soon ruin any bull.
Dairymen at Purdue university offer
as feeding guide for bulls in service,
the suggestion that they be kept in a
vigorous, healthy condition free from
excess fat and paunohiness. A good
grain mixture consists of 3 parts
ground corn, 3 parts ground oats. 3
parts wheat bran and 1 part linseed
oil meal. Ground oats are especially
good, but cottonseed meal is suspected
of causing impotency.
Legume hays at the rate of 10 to 20
pounds a day are recommended. When
they are not available, it is necessary
to feed more linseed oilmeal. Silage
fed in large amounts has a tendency
to cause paunchiness, but 10 to 10
pounds daily may be used with other
roughages. Water at least twice daily
and provide some exercise.
