COZ. JOHN B. CARNETT
HOME ON FURL0UGH
Ten Other Penn Unit Surgeons
Also Visitors Here From
Camp Dix

Lieutenant Colonel John B. Carnctt
commander of Base Hospital Unit No.
90 the University of Pennsylvania unit,
is home on furlough.
Ten other surgeons attached to the
unit also are home. All will have to
return to Camp Dix early this week
for demobilization. They arrived in
Boston aboard the Patricia on Friday
night, and were sent to Camp Devens,
Aver, Mass.
The Carnett home at 123 South Twcn-
tieth street, is a happy place, with the
colonel telling everything about every
body's experiences with the unit but
his own. And his were most heroic.
Organizer of the unit and chief means
of collecting the 500, 600 raised to en-
dow it, Colonel Carnett did not COM
mand it when it went overseas in April
of last year. A regular army man got
that job.
But while sthe main unit remained at
Chateau Guyon, where it did great
work, Colonel Carnett headed mobile
unit that followed the American army
in all its great drives, land the team
was in the thick of the fighting and
+, hard work through which the army
passed.
Lorraine, Chateau Thierry, st.
Mihiel and the Argonne-thcy are all
more than mere names to the members
of the mobile team.
They experienced them. Under com
mand Of the colonel they were right
behind and with the fighting units ut
all times and exposed TO all the dangers
of the enemy artillery fire. General
Pershing cited the team for its cool
ness under fire when its hospital shack
was shelled at Busy lie Chateau.
Those in the team were George NJ.
Laws, Captain Nathan Goldsmith,
Miss Helen Pratt, Miss Mary Berg
stresser, Bert" Bell, the university
football star, and Rufus Jones. r
Colonel Carnett has the highest
praise for the enlisted personnel and
officers of the entire hospital unit and
cited case after case where the cool
ncss and ability of the surgeons and
cooperation of the nurses and men had
resulted in victory over death on the
operation table.
Colonel Carnett took over the com
mand of his favorite unit after the
Argopne drive.

TOO MANY PROFITS
is Contention of Report Adopted BY
National Grange

Grand Rapids, Mich, Nov. 1S-
That there are too many profits be
tween producer and consumer is the
contention of the report of the special
committee on cooperative buying and
marketing read late today at the CON
yention of the National Grange. The
report was dopted.
II. j. Eoweh OF Fredonia, n. Y,
newly elected master of the National
Grange, was secretary of the commit
tee making the report which reviewed
the work of the grange and other
farm organizations in establishing CO.
operative buying and selling and com
mended the plan in general,
The report holds that there are too
many middlemen. 1t does not attack
middlemen as a class but simply sets
forth that there are too many profits
between the farmer and the user of
his products. 1t was recommended
that a committe of three be appointed
by the master to study what has been
done and to report at the next meet
ing on what are considered the best
plans for farmers to follow in CO.
operative work.
