MCCARTHY SAYS
REMNANT WINNER
MUST BEAT CUBS
Editors Following is
the twelfth of a series of Unit
ed Press interviews with major
league managers. Today: Joe
Mccarthy, Chicago Cubs.

KANSAS CITY, April 5.2"'The
club that beats us will win the Ma
tional League pennant,' Joe Me
Carthy, manager of the Chicago
Cubs, told the United Press here to-
day.
eve We strengthened our club
considerably and when we get ON
top this time Wei stay there" he
continued.
1t will be remembered that the
Cubs led the National League race
all during August last year only to
collapse and fall away to fourth
place.
Mccarthy believes his club has
the power for sustained drive this
season and will not crack as it did
in 1927.
"Pittsburgh, New York and
Brooklyn look strong to me-" Me
Carthy said land the Boston Braves
will be considerably better. In the
American league the Yanks will fin
ish on top or close to it."
Asked if he thought the trade
which sent Sparky Adams to the
Pirates in exchange for Cuylcr had
weakened the Cubs infield McCar-
thy said;
~ wouldn't have made any such
trade if | thought it would hurt our
club. Our infield suits me fine. "

CHICKEN GROWING }f
GETTING RECRUITS
In DOUGLAS AREA

More than usual activity in chicken
raising is apparent just now Among
other sections where the interest is
greater than usual is the G. and A.
smelter addition where different resi-
dents have been constructing, build
ings for. use in growing chickens. The
general tendency is to turn to the egg
laying strains end SO far as reported,
the White Leghorns have the call.
Manuel Garcia hauled out a large
order of lumber yesterday from the
Bassett lumber yards from which ne
will erect two modern structures for
use as chicken houses, each to be 1880
feet.
Valentino Caberzo, another resident
of the smelter addition, has already
constructed two houses, each 20X50
feet and he is starting a third of the
same size. Both Of these men assert
that there is good market here for
poultry products and that they believe
it is fine opportunity to make money
by engaging in raising chickens in
large numbers.

BIDS ON CLUB
SOCIAL DINING
ROOM AT ONCE

Bids will be called for at once
for the construction of the new dining
room that is to be built by the Club
Social in Aqua Prieta. That was
decided upon yesterday afternoon
when the plans for the new con-
struction were brought by the archi-
tect, Carleton M. WinsIow, from his
Los Angeles offices for the final
inspection and approval Of the direc-
tors Of the club. -
The plans were approved and it
was agreed that bids will be called
for at once and construction started
as early as it is possible 10 bripg
it about. The patronage of the club
is such that the present quarters are
inadequate and it is desired to have
the new quarters ready as socn as
it can be done.
Last evening the members Of the
board of directors entertained Mr,
Winslow at an informal dinner al
the club when the plans were again
the topic of a general discussion and
it was agreed that every effort will
be put forth to hasten ne construc-
ton of the building that it may be
opened to occupancy just as soon as
possible.

PLANS
Get THOUGHT
OF DIRECTORS

Directors in charge of the COM
munity hotel project will be called
together this morning at 1920 by
E. w. Graves, vice president of the
First National bank and president
of the hotel organization. The meet
ing will be for the purpose Of con-
sidering the plans for the hotel as
now drawn and ready, TO submit to
the bidders as soon as they have
been approved by the board. The
plans were brought to Douglas yes
terday by the architect, Carelton M
Winslow, of Los Angeles,
No attempt was made by Mr..
Graves to get the board together
yesterday because of the fact that
Mr.. Winslow had the plans for the
new dining room of the Club Social
with him and ready to submit to the
directors of that organization and it
was thought best to allow him that
half day without interruption and
then take up with him the hotel
when he could give it his entire
attention until the board was ready
to act upon the plans as now drawn.

POSTAGE STAMP
BASIS OE KICK
THICK OR thin

According to word received at the
Douglas postoffice, people in other
sections of the country have been
registering objections to the class OF
stamps now being sold because they
are too thick and heavy and refuse to
stick as easy as same of the former
issues did. It is stated in press dis
patches that dozens Of complaints
have come to the offices in many
parts of the country and that the
postoffice department has given or
ders to the department of printing
and engraving that the stamp output
must be made perfect in order to
please the public. The postmaster
general has ordered an investigation
to determine whether there is any
proper ground for complaint against
the stamps recently issued.
One of the possible grounds is that
the stamps are being made from
better quality of paper than the old
type because there was frequent COM
plant that the old issue was easily
torn. Now when stamp is pro-
duced that does not tear so easily
but takes more moisture to wet the
gum to make it adhere to the enve-
lope, there is a kick from the people
who do not like to do so much licking
of their stamps to make them serve
their purpose.
Douglas people appear to have
entered the lists as complainants on
either side of the controversy, an in
dication that they have no trouble
from either type of stamp The COM
plant about stamps tearing, accord
ing to postal officials, is hardly worthy
of serious thought, because if those
using them would fold the stamps at
the perforated line there would be
no tearing whatever. 1t is also said
that with the heavier stamps, If they
would use damp sponge or cloth and
moisten thoroughly, there would be
no trouble about the heavier stamp
adhering to the paper of the enve-
lope.
