EVENTS  OF  THE  WEEK 
Ain’t  it 
Bowker’s  ? 
THIS  STORY  was  told  one  of  our 
travelers  by  one  of  his  agents. 
“A'  farmer  backed  his  team 
up  to  my  store  one  day  last  spring, 
and  asked  me  to  throw  in  five  bags 
of  Bowker’s  Fertilizer.  As  the  war 
shortage  of  potash  was  on,  and  as  I 
wanted  him  to  understand  just  what 
he  was  buying,  I  started  to  tell  him 
that  the  analysis  was  changed  some¬ 
what  from  the  previous  year,— that 
the  percentage  of  potash  was  lower, 
etc.  He  looked  up  at  me  sharply 
and  said  rather  earnestly,  “Ain’t  it 
Bowker’s?’’  “Oh,  yes,”  I  said,  “It’s 
Bowker’s  all  right.”  u For  the  land's 
sake  —  throw  it  in  there,  then,"  said 
he,  and  drove  away  with  it,  wholly 
satisfied.”
