GIVEN NOTICE
OF EXTENSION
Official Statement Is
Received From u. S.
Department

HARLINGEN. Feb. 5.-The fol-
lowing official statement was re-
eeived Monday from the U. s. de-
partment Of agriculture relative to
the extension OF the citrus fruit
shipping season in the Valley from
February % to March so:
The United States department Of
agriculture announces that, under
the authority given in the regula-
tions supplemental to the quarantine
on account of the Mexican fruit
worm, the plant quarantine and con-
troll administration has approve the
action of the state of Texas in fin
ing, for the present season, March
80 as the date on which grapefruit
and certain other fruits must be re-
moved from the trees in the Mexi-
can fruit worm regulator territory.
The host-free period prescribed in
the regulations will begin on March
81, and no fruits susceptible to in
festation by the Mexican fruit worm.
such rs grapefruits, oranges, kum-
quats, peaches, apples, guavas and
others. will be permitted to develop
In orchards or TO exist elsewhere
within the restricted are- after that
date.
1.-THE date fixed for this season is
one month later than the beginning
Of the host-free period in 1928. This
change is made at the urgent re-
quest OF orchard owners and other
interests concerned. and was recon-
mended by the state department OF
agriculture of Texas. The grape
fruit and oranges this season are
ripening later than usual due TO
rains occurring late in September
an dearly in October. with the result
that not much more than half of the
crop has been moved out to date.
The wholehearted cooperation of the
residents in the regulated area has
resulted in the practically complete
elimination of secondary host-fruit
trees, thus greatly reducing the
possibility of any Mexican fruit
worm infestation becoming estab-
lished."

 CT Action Outlined

] At the meeting Of the delegates from Alaska Chambers of Com merce yesterday afternoon at the City Hall, the constitution and by
 laws for an Alaska Territorial Chamber of Commerce, as drawn up by the committee of seven, were adopted with one or two minor changes.
 It was agreed at the meeting that copies of both documents be sent to the individual chambers for ratification with a request that the chambers name men to repre- sent them on the Board of Man agers of the Territorial chamber After considerable discussion of the constitution and the manner in which it would work out in use, the matter of incorporation was brought up and talked over. Most of the delegates felt that they had not sufficient authority to go so far, without rerferring the matter to their home bodies, and they finally reached the conclusion that they would submit the question by mail to the chambers that can be reached in that manner, and others, as Nome, will be consulted by wire.
 Another question which was brOupht m and Ciscuseed at Ianoth was the question as to whether the secretary for the organization would be a full time secretary, or only part time. It was the gen. ert-l feeling that a full time one was needed if the chamber could

GIRLS DELIGHT DISPLAY IS AT
 BUTLER-MAURO

A doll house, furnishings and a mahogany poster bed that would tickle the heart of any girl, are on display in the Butler -Mauro Drug Store. The miniatures are the gift of Nick Bekius, foreman in a large furniture factory at Grand Rapids, Michigan, to the daughters, Mary and Geanne of II. L. VanderLeest,
 The house, a colonial replica in small scale, is complete in every detail. The base is about two feet square and the house two stories. On the ground floor are located a parlor, living room and kitchen, with rugs on the floor, mahogany furniture, kitchen stove and win dow shades that appear real, with electric lights that flood the inter- for with daylight as the doll mis- tress wishes. And to prevent the smoke from the kitchen stove dark cning the woodwork, there are two brick chimneys.
 The windows have shutters that the colored servant, who is there with her bright head scarf, can close to keep out the Taku winds. The doll mother can put her chil- dren to bed, she can clean house all over as she wishes, for the front of the building opens out and one can see the interior and can tell tt a glance that the dwelling could be easily managed.
 There is the bed with its real mahogany posts, it's enamel flower design and linen coverlets.
 But how in the world can we play with such a large bed with such a small house? Oh! I know Geanne! You can have the bed and I'll take the house." and that is just what Mary and Geanne VanderLeest have done. Geanne, the older, choose the bed and Mary the house Wlth US rugs, It's tiny chairs, the stove and the pots and pans.
 Two years ago the VanderLeest family visited relatives in Grand Rapids, Michigan Uncle Nick took such a fancy to the children that he promised to make the house and bed. A short time ago it was completed, and now the kiddies have a house and furniture that came from The Furniture City of the World" and it's at the Butler Mauro Drug Store for all the other kiddies to see.
