WARREN FLICKER LEAVES
 FOR NEW FEEL ,
Man Who Made Special Edition Ad-
 vertising Success Goes to Tucson

Warren Pitcher, whose energetic eff forts in connection with the issuance of the salt River Valley edition of The Republican. covering a period of four or five weeks. resulted in the success of the special mum Der from an adVertis- ing standpoint, left yesterday for Tue son, where he has already engaged to lend lis talents to the issuance of a similar edition of the Arizona Star. That this edition will be a glowing sue cess is assured from the very fact that Mir. Pitcher will be connected with it's issuance.
 From the moment MT. Pitcher under took the work of securing the adver- tising for the then proposed special edition, he entered into the task with a determination to win and to leave be- hind him a feeling that all his dealings had been absolutely businesslike and that no promise had been made by him that had not been carried out to the letter.
 If Warren Pitcher ever wants rec ommendation both as to his ability to secure advertising for a special edition and for absolutely honest and upright dealings all he needs to do is to refer to The Republican.

furore for later in the day the hit was duplicated by MT. Bowling.
 Speaking of hits the gentleman from New Mexico must be very vicious. This was not only noticeable in the way they attacked the ball but in their treatment of the umpire. Really it was necessary for us to congratulate our selves once more that we did not have one state flag. We all felt for time we would witness a murder and when they rallied round MT Sterling we were confident his time had come. How he escaped death will ever remain a deep mystery. He had most unique way and his splendid system of irritating all the players was in good working order throughout the afternoon. He proved to the satisfaction of all that sterling should not be defined as solid silver but as ivory, absolutely War ranted. e
 Another cause for hysteria was the good, old tree: Gone but not forgotten the beautiful cottonwood that won more games for Phoenix last year than the manager of the team. The wood man who did not spare that tree must indeed be fit for treason, stratagem and spoils." Why, oh why not, forward him to the allies? It would be just treatment for one who would be guilty of the lastardly destruction of our monument of triumph. The ball park looked a barren waste without it just like huge Gainsborough hat without plumeS or champagne without bubbles.

NEW YORK, May 26.-That the ma rlet remains almost entirely under the influence of the war developments was again clearly demonstrated. Cables of an accident to an American ship off the Irish coast were sufficient to give prices a sharp setback, frim which they made only a partial recovery. Quite apart from this incident. the market was dull and heavy. With the approach of the time of the receipt of the gov ernment's reply from Germany traders show an increasing disposition to ab- stain from new commitments. particu- larly the buying side. On the other hand the sold out condition of the market offers few attractions to the short interests. War issues fell from 1 to points, while Standard shares de- clined from 1 to 212.

ENCOURAGING THE BIRDS.
Provide All the Modern improvements.

As spring approaches many suburb
antics are doubtless completing their
plans for an active campaign against
insects, and have already ordered the
insecticides, repaired the sprayer, and
looked over all the trees, shrubs and
canes carefully. But there are those
perhaps, who have overlooked natures
hest insect destroyers, the birds. If so,
there is yet time to make provision for
them so that when they return they
will find plenty of suitable nesting
houses from which to choose, shelter
shelves. food houses. baths, drinking
water and protection from their dead
