He was born In 1874, in West Branch, Iowa, the son of a blacksmith. Hij father died when he was six years old, his mother when he was nine; and he jyent to live with an uncle who operated a Quaker academy in Oregon. Herbert earned his board by dating odd chores, feeding and currying the horses, milking cows, and tending the furnace. All of this was In addition to his regular school work and, as if this were not enough work for a young boy, he studied English literature and his tory outside of school hours. Later I in Salem, Oregon, Herbert worked as an office boy for his uncle, and went to night school until he had enough' credits to enter Leland Stan ford university. He worked his way through by acting as clerk for the registrar, and handling and deliv ering the Sao Francisco News on the campus. Later he started a laundry agency, calling for the bags ?of tolled laundry and delivering the bundles himself. m , In 1883, Herbert got a Job with the United /States Geological society. He had natural ability at engineering. That together with the habit of work, gained rapid prog ress for him. He became nationally known as ? successful engineer and a business man. In 1928 he became President of the United States. Herbert Jloover was born with no silver spoon. Orphaned early, he had to flght for every bit of knowl edge, far every opportunity. But fterfcert, -Hoover was born with the habit ofVork, and he had the good luck to keep that habit Hi? re. ward was success.

"Turkeyrama" consists of 12 episodes and some 20 scenes, de picting the history of Rockingham county and the importance of tur key-raising in its growth. Many of the scenes attain spec tacular in scope of pictorial effect and will prove a test of the best efforts and equipment in staging and lighting. Some of the most colorful scenes will involve the long strug gle between the Indian and white pioneer for mastery of the lush woodland which was the habitat of the turkey before breeders in this ; section of the country realized the possibilities of large scale raising.

Many of the stage properties will be either so old or so new that they will be unique to people in oh is neighborhood.
