OWEN FETZER IS
KNOCKED DOWN
BY A BIG SHELL
One Comrade Killed and Two
Others Wounded but He
Escapes Serious Injury
Mrs. Will Lane has received
the following letter from her
brother, Owen Fetzer, who
has been wounded and is now
in a hospital in France.
Dear Sister.—1 received
your letter yesterday and you
can guess how glad I was to
hear from you, as yours was
the second letter I have receiv
ed from America since I have
been in France. The other
letter was from Myrtle Fetzer.
Sure was glad to hear that
your crops are good, for if
dear old America ever did
need good crops it is now.
If 1 could see you 1 could
tell you something that I ex
pect would be interesting. You
remember the Testament you
gave me" Well, that and
some pictures are all that 1
came out of battle with on the
15th of July A high explosive
shell fell near me, killing one
man and wounding two others.
1 was knocked down and ren
dered unconscious, so you see
I was the jucky boy of the
four. We sure were making it
hot tor the Huns too just at
that time.
1'he average German hasn’t
the nerve to fight until he dies,
like the Americans have. That
is one reason the German’s
can’t hold ‘heir lines now.
I suppose you have read
about Bulgaria making peace
with the Allies. I think the
other countries will ask for
peace before long.
Write me real often.
Your brother,
THOS. O. FETZER,
A. E. F. Somewhere in France.

Dogs Carry Arkansas By
Overwhelming Majority
In Race With Sheep and Goats, the Dog is Easy
Winner and Proves His Great Popularity
Over Meek But Useful Opponent
Latest official returns received by The Journal indi
cate that Hound Dog will carry Arkansas by a majority
of at least 146,868.
He has carried Independence county by a majority
of 3,151. Complete official returns from 54 of the 75
counties give him a majority of 110,202.
in ot tne to counties ot
Arkansas, there are 238,307
dogs and 128,105 sheep and
goats, giving the dogs a pre
ponderance of 110,202 accord
ing to figures compiled by the
state Food Administration.
The data was gathered by
county. food, administrators
with a definite object in view.
When the next legislature con
sents, .State Food Administra
tor llamp Williams will ask
that a bill be enacted placing a
war tax or dogs. This action
will be taken with a view to
increasing the production of
sheep and goats. For months,
Mr. Williams has received let
ters from all sections of the
date, some urging that a spec
ial ruling be made taxing dogs,
which he had no authority to
jrder, while the other letters
contained interesting data
from often irate correspond
ents, who told of the number
af sheep and goats being kill
ed by worthless curs. Others
showing statistics to prove that
the food that is being fed to
dogs, and the cost of keeping
the canines, would go far to
support the American army in
Prance.
Mississippi county was the
>nly one in which “nary" a
sheep or goat.was found, but
here are 10,000 dogs there—
