STILL HAVE BARN-RAiSINGS
Good Old Custom Has Not Died Out,
Though the Conditions Have
Greatly Changed.

The Connecticut Valley Advertiser
tells Its readers that on Saturday of
last week a barn-raising was held at
Hadlyme with about everybody in Had.
lyme and East HaddOn present. That
seems much like the old type of barn
the statement that three kinds Of Ii.
guilds were TO be had for the asking,
one being water and another root beer.
Formerly there were but two, one be-
ing hard cider and the other West In
dia rum.
From early times up to 40 years ago
dwellers In the country did not have
the knack of erecting a building with
no more timber in it than could be car
ried on a wheelbarrow hence, to erect
the frame for a barn or house was a
work which taxed the strength of all
the men and boys in the community
and which brought the local carpenter
into q place of proud importance. It
was considered altogether out Of the
question to do the work without stimu-
lants, and these were furnished gen.
erously, for, though a man might be
CLOSE about many things, he could
not afford to ration those who came to
the raising If he hoped to spend the
rest of his life in the community.
Having this in mind, he bought rum
literally, while the sour cider was
brought from his own cellar. but,
though it's ability, was recognized, 1t
was hardly regarded seriously because
everyone had an abundance Of it at
home. while drinking rum at the ex-
pense of another was something alto
gether more important. 1t was hard to
raise a building without it, and. on
some occasions. fairly difficult to raise
n with it. Not infrequently 1t was
found necessary to continue the work
to a second day because the spirits
from St. Croix had done their work
not wisely but too well. Changing man
ners have modified the work, for the
Advertisers account says that the barn
was raised in a single afternoon. 1t is
a pleasure to know that the work was
done successfully and that this old
form Of communal living survives

SONG FOR ALL ABLE TO HEAR
Properly Attuned Themselves to
Listen to Il.

"There is ever a song somewhere.
my dear" sings the poet. Let us go
a little further and say that there Is
ever n song everywhere-if we have
the ear attuned to 1t.
The cultured musicians will tell you
that what the masters sing In their
strange and complex studies is the
highest music to those who are trained
TO catch 1t. But the simple heart finds
the harmony In the simple, lowly mel
odies.
What to the one class is purest mu-
sic is to the other meaningless noise.
If we just knew how to listen we could
love the songs Of each. To some the
jingle of money is the only music in
the world. 1t deafens them to all 9th
er sounds. To some the melody OF
their own spoken in praise is
the only music worth hearing. The
ears of these seem to open inward.
The greedy and the vain shrink their
whole world to their own size.
But to those who can hear It there
is a song in every phase Of life. For
tunate is he who can hear more than
a very few.-Exchange.

talk all the politics he wants and he
can see just as many politicians as
can get to him." continued Mrs. Allen.
Until then, he's mine"
In three minutes Mrs. Allen an
swered about forty questions. She
didn't know when Henry would be
Home. She didn't know when he
sailed or whether he had sailed. She
had received no message, In fact, no
personal cables had been transmitted
since the armistice was signed. She
wasn't going to New York to meet
Henry. Ne, sir-kindly, but emphat-
icauy, no, sir-a state house commits
sion secretary couldn't see Henry be-
fore the first of the year. Not one day
sooner. The mere fact that the job
holder called it Business and not Poll
tics, didn't deceive the wife of the new
governor in the least. Too many peo-
pie make politics a business. anyway.
Mrs. Allen came to Topeka to look
at the governors mansion, Eighth ave-
nue. and Buchanan street. She was
told by Governor Capper that at least
$4,000 would be needed before the
house could be oyerhauled and made
suitable for living conditions. Besides,
there is no money for thesrepairs, So
Governor and Mrs. Allen may be COM
PEELED to seek other quarters-at least
for the winter Even with extensive
repairs, the ancient property which
was once a Topeka show spot, would
look rather tupb1e-down as COM
pared with the new Allen mansion in
Wichita.
The Topeka state journal. [volume] (Topeka, Kansas) 1892-1980, 1918-11-21

until after the first of the year. And
she talks as tho she means it.
Mrs. Allen does not know just when
tn. new governor will return from
France. She believes he left the Ar
gonne battle front ten days ago and
at this time may be on the high seas.
But she doesn't know. 1t is possible
that the new governor will arrive next
week. He may not come until De-
cember 10.
Keep Politicians Away.
HE isn't going to be at home to
anyone but me until January l., Mrs.
Allen said rather determinedly as she
talked with several state house Off
Gals and newspaper men in Governor
Capper's office this morning. 'If the
politicians think they are going to take
all his time just as coon as he gets
off the boat, they have another guess.
1 want him to visit me a little while
and to get acquainted with our own
home"
So Mr.. Job Hunter will find it neces-
sary to slip into Wichita and steal a
few minutes of the new governors
time when Mrs. Allen isn't looking.
The new $4,000 Allen home on
Roosevelt avenue. Wichita, has been
completed during the absence of the
governor-elect. And Mrs. Allen. who
hasn't seen her husband since jan
uary. will probably be forgiven her
touch of w manly selfishEess when
she DEGREES that Hennery spends a
few days alone with her instead of
with the Kansas politicians.
