A spendthrift Fund.
From the New York Worl

From the New York World.
The late Mrs. Mary F.. Jones, disposing
of a 5000, 600 estate, used part Of it to
create a novel II not unique trust. This
she designated as a ''spendthrift fund.-"
and provided that the income from 1t
shall be employed for the benefit of any
of hcr children to whom misfortune or
financial reverses may come.
This is a und somewhat after the order
of the revolving fund which the govern
ment has established for the relief of
improvident or i~mpecunious railroads. Its
institution for the protection Of a family
against the vicissitudes of fortune sets
an interesting precedent. Here is legal
provision for the prodigal son. II the fam
lily develops one, and aid and support for

Damage to Brazil, Coffee.

FROM lne London IllleS.
TIL reports which have reached this
country by cable of the injury which the
coffee crop of the state cf Sac Paulo has
suffered from two days, of frost have
hardly conveyed n full indication OF the
damage done. The private reports app
pearcd to be SO exaggerated that the Sac
Paulo government appointed a commits
sion to investigate them. The report of
the commission shows that the damage
was serious. In the state OF Sac Paulo.
according to the commission, 80 per cent
of the coffee trees were destroyed, or SO
weakened that it will he years before
they can yield 50 before. Not only coffee
but sugar, castor oil. and mandioca plan
tations and pasturage were materially
damaged. According to generally accept
ed estimates. the number of bearing
coffee trees in Brazil was 79l. 900. 900: of
these some 361. O0O. 600 are said to have
been killed. While the new plantations
not yet bearing are reported totally de-
stroyed. 1t is calculated that only from
1922 orwar can the coffee crop be nor
malised. n yield from 10,00O0.00o to L.
100000 bags. as before the frost. even
on the condition that all the destroyed
trees be replaced. The expected effect
upon the railways Of the state is shown
in a generally accepted estimate. giving
for 1913 100000 bags. for 1919 100000
bags. and for 1920 5000. 00 bags.

Tho Real Worker.

From the DeS MONIES IrlDune.
TIL. ant is sometimes referred to as an
example Of industry.
But the ant ia a confirmed loafer com
pared to the worlds real worker.
In order to demonstrate what the
worlds real worker is. all you have to
do is think. Putting it another way,
all you nave to do is to try not to think.
1t can't be done.
The human thinking apparatus. called
the mind when you refer to what we
don't know about 1t n called the brain
when you refer to what we do know
about It, is the busiest little big worker
nature has ever produced.
The human brain doesn't always achieve
great results. But it never ceases to
achieve results of some kind. IL doesn't
know what a moments idleness is. We
can't even be sure that it idles during
sleep. There is a considerable school Of
deep men who insist it is buster then

The Future Of u.eoat..

From the Philadelphia Public Ledger.
More explicit rules for the conduct Of
war at sea will no doubt be laid down
by the peace congress or by some similar
international body. Whatever changes in.
present practice are implied in the phrase,
the freedom Of the seas. it is clear that
new definitions of c%ontraband. of the ma
tur. and scope of blockade, of the use of
mines and submarines. will nave to be set
forth. The general principles of interna-
tiolal law are unchanged. in spite of Ger
man disregard of them. Thus the indis-
criminate planting of mines and the sink
ing OF merchant ships by submarines
would still be forbidden. even though
there were no specific pronouncement
upon the subject. Yet both the mines
and the submarines are legitimate means
of warfare. The proposal to abandon
either is not likely to be accepted. Nor
would the question ever have arisen but
for German defiance Of law and humanity
alike. A formal limitation Of the use
OF both can do no more tina emphasize
a condition hat obtained before the war.
In the correspondence between the United
States and Germany which followed the
sinking Of the L%usitania 1t was pointed
out that by it, very nature the subma-
rins was an unfit instrument for the
capture q msrchAnt vessels, since It had
no neans . earing for the safety Of sucA

For 6x.Prssidents.

From the Kansas City Star.
1t isn't wholly agreeable for persons
who regard the presidential office as ono
OF dignity to contemplate the possibility
OF an ex-president becoming the ma
tional commissioner Of the two big pro-
f%essional baseball organizations. The
position is a perfectly honorable one. Of
course. There is no reason why any
mar who SO desires should not take it.
Any man except a former president.
or course the only reason why Mr.. Taft
has considered 1t has been a financial
one. He is not a rich man. Like ex-
President Cleveland. he has felt the need
of suppleinenting his income.
The nation ought not to permit the
condition to exist. An ex-presAdent is
expected to maintain q certain dignity
in his manner of life. Avenues OF
making money that are open to other
men are closed to him. Even in private
life he is still a public man. The public
ought to assume the responsibility OF
his maintenance for the rest of his life.
Why should not former presidents be
available for public service of various
sorts? And why should they not be
paid an income Of, say, $4,000 a year?
That would make 1t unnecessary for q
man who had once held the highest
office in, the land to contemplate going
into private business. as Grant did. with
unhappy results. or to take under con-
sideration a proposal to be a baseball
magn0te.

An expensive shelter is not necessary. 1t need not costo W $500 or $500.
Before putting any machine lin the shed. after it has-been in use, it is
always best to apply a coating of grease to all polished parts. This will

Give Implements Attention.
A good operator is quick to detect, either by sight Dr. by sound, when any
part o. u machine needs attention. If the machine is not working smoothly
in all its parts. the cause Of the trouble should Immediately be ascertaiued
and remedied. A loose nut promptly frightened. will not only ave valuable
time. but will prolong the usefulness o the implement.
All bearings should be kept oiled. In spite of care. bearings sometimes
become hot. This trouble can be remeded by mixing graphite with the OIL
Implements should be inspected at frequent intervals and all worn parts

ing the winter when other farm work Is nt pressing and repairs needed
