BEST THEATRE.

Today and tomorrow-Delight piquant Billy Burke is at the Best theatre today in her newest picture "The Mysterious Miss Terry" Whim- sically charming as ever, she holds the attention of the spectators from the first scene that flashes across the screen to the last fade out love scene in loveland.
 "The Mysterious Miss Terry" an adaptation of the story by Gelette Burgess, offers Billie Burke a won derful vehicle to demonstrate her in imitable charm and fine artistry of personation. As Marvis Terry, Billie Burke demonstrates a novel method of find both happiness-and a hus- band. The latter she does by a pro- cess of elimination. That is, she goes incognito into nearby board ing house, where she takes up life though she is in reality an heiress. Here she meets three young men who promptly fall in love with her. Each of them is poor and struggling for a living, although far superior to the types of young men she has known in her former sphere. Finding out the secret ambition of each she is able to gratify them and thus dis cover which is really worth while and in earnest. In accomplishing this purpose. the determined young hero inc involves herself in many thrilling and humorous adventures.

LOCAL LAUNDRIES
 GO TO CASH BASIS

Slowly but steadily the lines of old
 Credit System are giving way. and it in only a question of time when
 phrase charge it" will be as infre- quently heard in Pine Bluff as in oth- CT towns whose people have come to
 realize the enormous tax it's use en, tails.
 The Pine Bluff laundries are the latest establishments to announce go- ing on cash basis, statement in The Graphic this morning by the American Excelsior Laundry com
 pany and the Troy laundry making it known that after October it will be "C. o. D." with the laundry men. The increased cost of materials and labor is given as the cause for making econ { omy imperative, and it is stated thai the laundries prefer to eliminate the losses of the credit custom and the cost of bookkeeping rather than in crease the charges.
 A few years ago there was not a strictly cash house in Pine Bluff.
 The grocers were the first to take the
 step that has meant fewer losses for
 them and consequently better goods
 and lower prices for consumers. At
 least one dry goods house has follow
 ed suit, and now the laundries add
 their testimony to the benefits of
 the cash system by adopting it as a
 basis on which they will do business.
 The Housewives league was main ly responsible for the adoption of the
 cash system in Pine Bluff houses, and
 the saving that has been affected by
 thoses houses. and the saving tha,
 has been affected by those who have
 taken advantage of the low prices
 advertised is ample justification of
 the campaign made by the league.
