VALENCIA COUNTY
COUBTHOUSE BURNS
Building at Las Lunas Is
Completely Destroyed
Thursday Night.
Eelen. K. M.. Aug. 17. According to
nws received yesterday VaienetR
county's courthouse located at Los
Lunas. caught fire late Thursday even-
ins and burned to the ground. The
c-iin of the fire is entirely unknown.
The loss to the county will be heavy.
The building has stood for a areat
Tnnv vears. and was one of the oldest
courthouses in the. southwest !t con-
tained many books of valuable rec-
ords the destruction of a portion cf
wh.eh will be a greater loss to the
cou-ity than the loee of the building
It as probable that arrangements -will
be made to erect a new building as
soon as possible altbough the county
commissioners have not jet been called
together to consider what steps are
advisable.
Some few years ago a movement was
started to build a new courthouse and
jail in Los Lunas. At that time the
residents of Beien'made an attempt to
stop the contemplated expenditure for
these purposes in the hope that the
county seat might soon be remo.ed to
Belen. They were successful in their
attempt and the new biuldings have
Ee er been erected At the present time
the law is such that the site cannot be
changed and new buildings now will
be erected in Los Lunas.

Advertising Time Saver.
A few years ago the price of a shave
was a dime.
Now a shave costs a dime plus a
nickel and the barber is exceedingly
solicitous about a man's hair and sug-
gests a tonic
Why?
Advertising is the answer
The safety razor advertising of the
past few years has saved the men of
the United States thousands of years
of time which would otherwise have
been wasted In barber shops waiting
for the call of "Next' '
Father comes home bright and early
Saturday nights where he used to come
In Sunday morning having waited un-
til the last minute for his Sunday shave.
Now he shaves himself quickly easily
cleanly in a few minutes every morn-
ing and goes down town feeling fit to
cope with a real day's work
Advertising worked the change
The safety razors increased the cost
of a barber shop shave 50 per cent but
saved hundreds of thousands of price-
less half hours in doing it.
