lists will receive almost their first
contact with current intellectual life
since re beginning OF the great war.
ANY American physician who has

said DR.. Henry Beeuwkes, chief OF the
medical livision of the American Re

confer no greater boon upon the med

these over to the American Relief Ad-
ministration to dispose OF. Many OF
the Russian doctors have not seen a
medical ournal from the outside world
in years. They are pathetically CRATE
full for those that have been sent them
from America"

MAMMOTH MUSHROOM FOUND ON A PRESTON EARN

Much surprise has been expressed at the quick growth which is made by toad stools and mushrooms, but what appears to take the prize hereabouts was shown on Friday by Mrs, Frank Underwood of Preston who had picked in her garden near the house a great white mushroom almost round which she believed to be a button mushroom and which she be- ileyed grew in one night.
 Thursday evening some corn had been cut for the cattle in the garden and
 nothing was seen of it. Friday morn ing when more corn was sought by her son for the cows he found the great ball which he at first thought was a pumpkin but upon investigation found to be a mushroom There were other tiny ones but nothing which approach ed this size.
 Ire jumbo of the group weighs ten pounds, is 55 inches around one way and 42 inches the other, making a good sig ed arnful tol anyone who carries it. It was found cn the Nancy Leighton farm in Preston now owned by Frank Under wood.
 Asked f she was going to cook it, Mrs. Underwood replied: ''Sure, I'll cook r." but she afterwards stated that she was anxious to exhibit 1t at the county fair if 1t could be kept that long.
