GERMANY NOT USING
 U. s. COTTON OUTPUT
(By the Associated Pressp

Berlin, June 10. (By Mail )-Ne- cessity forced central Europe to get along without it's usual supply of cot ton goods for so long that the public has become accustomed to all sorts of substitutes and the task of getting back the European market for Amer ican cotton is an extremely difficult one while the mark remains at its low and wildly fluctuating value
 What is true of the textile markets in Germany is even more true of these in Austria and other war-torn coun- tries which have unfavorable ex- change. In consequence the buying power of central Europe is generally estimated by manufacturers of cotton goods to be only 25 per cent of what 1t was in normal pre-war times.
 Germans have become so accustom- ed to the use of white paper table cloths and napkins that even the best hotels in Berlin no longer feel it nec- essary to provide linen or cotton cloths for their tables. Great rolls of heavy crinkled paper are kept in all restaurants and hotels. Walters cut tablecloth from these as required. The same system is resorted to in priv ate houses.

COURT SUSTA|NS
 ROAD DISTRICTS
DISMISS PRINCES SUIT
Chancellor Sets Aside Every Allega tion by Plaintiff in Decisive
 Verdict.

The road districts of faulkner coun- ty won a sweeping victory this morn ing when Chancellor w. E. Atkin- son handed down a decision in the case brought by P. H. Prince for N. T. Salter and other taxpayers against the Conway and Damascus road dis trict. Judge Atkinson took up separ- ately the various contentious raised by the attorney for the plaintiffs and overruled each of them, dismissing their complaint and rendering judg- ment for costs against them.
 The testimony taken by Judge Prince was very lengthy. Among other witnesses placed upon the stand by him in his effort to show the it. legality of the district were State Senator George F. Hartje, former Representative I. M. Campbell, Coun- ty Judge E. L. Smith, former Coun- ty Judge J. A. Lea, Assessor Roy Rogers, w. D. Cole, president of the board of comissioners of the district, R. w. Robins, attorney for the dis trict, and about a dozen landowners in the territory of the district.
 Very little testimony was taken on behalf of the defendants, the only dispositions read in the court being that of Judge Prince himself, who was called on to testify as to the advcr- tisements published by him prior to the bringing of the suit and the speech es made by him over the county dur ing the pendency of the suit; w. M. Brady, sheriff, who was asked to as
