Subject / Tag: Sketch
Part of: Chicago Ledger, v. XLVI, no. 2, January 12, 1918 (Issue)
Author: Emmons, Earl H., 1888-1949
Date: January 12, 1918
First Sentence: The barn is a farm improvement made of anything from a bunch of ash posts and some old straw to hard pine lumber, bricks and cement; and it is used as a place inwhich to hold dances which are too rough to be in the house, and it is also utilized as a shelter chiefly for several hundred pigeons, several thousand sparrows, numberless rats and mice, and an occasional tramp.
Last Sentence: If the barn escapes all this and can dodge double-geared chain lightning consistently, it has a fairly good chance of standing a while, so that a cycloe can come along and show it some aviation tricks, which is what is meant by "barn raisings."
