A Bargain for Farmers.

The New-York Tribune Farmer. a ma
tional illustrated agricultural weekly OF
twenty large pages, has no superior as a
thoroughly practical and helpful publi-
cation for the farmer and every farmer
and every member OF his family, and the
publishers are determined to give it a
circulation unequalled by any paper Of
its class in the United States.
Knowing that every enterprising. up
to-date farmer always reads his own local
weekly newspaper, the New-York Trib-
une Farmer has made an exceedingly
liberal arrangement which enables us to
offer the two papers at so low price
that no farmer can afford to lose the OPP
portunity.
The price Of The New-York Tribune
Farmer IL s1.0O a year and the Elbert
County Tribune is S150 year, but both
papers will be sent for full year il you
forward or bring sI.65 to the office Of the
Tribune, Ebert, Colo.
Send your name and address to The
New York Tribune Farmer, New York
City, and specimen copy Of that paper
will be mailed to you.

In reply to Secretary Hollem's article
in regard to school house in district No.
20, published in last weeks Tribune, we
have only this to say, that in regard to
location Of school house we simply ex-
pressed our opinion OF the matter, and
because our opinion happens to differ
from his or anyone else is not conclusive
evidence that either one or the other is
correct. Recognizing this fact, that we
each and all have an equal right to our
opinions, we have never yet permitted
ourself to be drawn into newspaper
discussion on such subjects as that. AS
regards the condition OF the school house,
we respectfully refer Mr.. Hollems to a
little item published in the Tribune Of
December 3. This item was not written
by the Fondis correspondent, and we
would judge that it came direct or indi-
rect from Miss Siebert, the former teach
er, herself, regardless Of any excuse she
may have given the school board for her
resignation. If Mr.. Hollems has not a
Tribune of Dec. 3, we will loan him one
il he cares to see it.

The man who engages in profane
SWEARING does that which is foolish, yes,
absolutely senseless. That sounds plain,
even cranky and fanatical, but when
measured in the crucible OF common
sense and sound reason, there is not, can
not be an ounce OF brains in il. How
ever harsh this may sound at first
thought, weigh the statement carefully,
and YOU will be convinced that profnne
swearing is not dependent upon any de
gree OF intelligence. No one ever made
a cent Of money by it. A man may steal
and even win financially. 1t may not be
morally right but it takes sense to steal
and come out ahead. A man may lie or
Kill and escape detection and be iinan-
cial winner, but he can't by profane
swearing. No wonder Louis X OF France
punished the swearer by soaring his lips
with a hot ironl IL it could be shown
that swearing, like many other evils, re-
quired skill, education, culture, or any
faculty, natural or acquired, then our
charge would be untrue. II 1t could be
shown that it resulted in greater honor,
wealth or any other emolument, then
our charge would be untrue. But as
none OF these things obtain, the cold,
hard. stubborn fact remains that profane
swearing has no sense in it. 1t is not n
question Of whether the habit is right or
wrong from religious point Of view, but
1t resolves itself into a question OF
whether the profane swearer is perform
ing an act of sense or nonsense.
