Hi is as much because his forbears, Hulda Min thorn's father, once a college stu dent, in Ils.rtford. Connecticut, carried in saddle-bags Serosa Canada, The Great Lakes, Michi gan, Indiana and Illinois, down into a Quaker colony in West Branch, Iowa, his few cherished bocks., as because the. young and orphaned Herbert Hoover strug gled indomitably in Oregon and California for an education. From that grandfather. 1 through hLs mother, he got his love of study and the mind rapidly, and thor oughly to assimilate, knowledge. In all the, long list of, stories or novels published, withjn the past. four, years, "The Making of Herbert Hoover" by Rose Wilder is the most thrilling not only because it is captivatingly written but because truth is stronger than fiction, and every episode in that fascinating tale is an actual hap pening. , V Never did the love of stones in a child of five so augur the f" ture geologist and mining engi neer. In the Indian Territory where at this age ;( forty-seven years ago) ; little Bertie Hoover went from Iowa to visit his small cousins (the very spot which is now- the haven of . millionaire ge ologists) the child found such strange rocks along the brooks and hills. ' There was one called Hint, and a gritty, one calledandstone, and one called keel that .made marks like chalk. There were curious teurlettrongffaltHr-smallsr and; others that v ; sparkled; and others that were : the size and shape , of Iron screws. When the time came for the" boy's home ward journey, arid, af.ter. his trunk had been packed by, bis faithful Aunt Agnes, he surreptitiously removed some of his elothes sub stituting his cherished,) rocks.

It tasted very good. M-M-M-M Ed Cross and myself had to wash the dishes while four other boys swept. Four boys were sent to build the cam pf ire on the beach.

There were four boys from Salem, On the way over Ed Cross was very muh afraid he would be called "Fat" but to his relief the "Faf boy of Corvallis was there. One morning before "Fat" was out of bed Ralph Purvine came in wUh an eel and a small crab, this last he held over "Fat's" head.
