MINING LEADS
IN EMPLOYMENT

Interesting statistics are given In
the annual report of State Labor
Commissioner Ingram to Governor
Boyle.
sons employed in the state mining Ii
the highest reported The total EN-
ployed is 23.0S5. OF this mining has
1913, while farming and stockraisine
employs 4.046. Railroads rank next
to mining with 1906.
The average wage to the farm hand
per day for the past year was $3.04 !;
that OF miners, $4.99; mills and quar-
ries. $3.50: railroaders averaged
$i.29; trades and merchandising s4.O7
The average total wage for en-
ployes In the state per day was $4.3S
with an average of s.4 hours work.
In the wage earning column 2.092
women appear. which is an increase
of AZ over the last report submitted
As women In Nevada are protected
by an eight-hour law this is the basis
of labor figured in the report.
The report touches on the advis.
ability of extending the usefulness oi
vocational training and an increase
in the salaries of the retired pension
teachers.
Considerable space is given to the
betterment of conditions by the en-
forcement of the semi-monthly pay
day. which has been generally adopted
throughout ten state.
In the tables submitted relative to
the high cost of living. II is shown
that living costs as a whole rose l16
per cent over the ratio of 1914.
Under the head recommendation
several amendments to the work
mems compensation act are suggest
ed. Higher rates of compensation
are suggested in the cast of married
men and better distribution of funds
to those on the rehabilitation roll.
The report covers a large number
of legislative recommendations, and
undoubtedly will have considerable
weight in committee work in relation
to labor laws in Nevada.

"HUM0RESQUE"
COMING TO REX

Fannie Hurst's most appealing
story. "Humoresque," has been trans
ferred to the screen and will be the
feature attraction at the Rex theatre
Saturday and Sunday, February 5th
and 9th. The intensely human atmos-
phere of the novel is said to have
been incorporated into the picture
with singular success.
The story centers around Leon
Kantor, a boy of the Ghetto who
shows an intense love for music. His
mother who has always wanted a
musician-son, is delighted and on his
seventh birthday buys him a violin.
Icons playmate is pretty Gina Gins
berg. Fifteen yars later, Leon is q
recognized genius. On the night OF
his triumph at a big concert given for
his people of the Ghetto, he enlists
Leon returns from Franco with a
shattered shoulder and 1t is said that
he will never be able to play the violin
again. Icons music Is his all. He
becomes morose and discouraged.
Before the war he had become engag-
ed to Gina. Now he wishes to release
her from marrying him-a cripple.
But in very wonderful way he is re-
stored to full strength and. to the joy
of his mother and Gina, turns toward
new conqupests in the real of music.
Alma Ruben is the featured play
er in "Humboresque" and CASTOR
Glass and Vera Gordon are also in
cluded in the cast.

Dairying Is Main
Farming Industry

and unquestionably. the dairy COW
will again prove herself as one of the
greatest assets the farmer has on his
place.
What our several Valleys in this
section need now Is to increase their
dairy herds and the production of
dairy products. which can only be
brought about through the loyal CO.
operation and support of every farm

cure more and better cows, start cow
testing and bull associations, weed

work along such lines as will put us
in the front ranks with those dairy
men in other sections, who have plac-
ed themselves there through such CO.
operation 1t means this-That when
prices do go back to normal. the farm

that one source through which he is
getting that steady monthly income
which Is so conveniently put to use In

APARTMENT

Shortly after IL O'Clock Wednesday,
the alarm of fire was sounded because
of the threatened destruction Of the
M. Jepsen apartment house of School
street. The fire caught upstairs and
before being detected gained good
headway in the attic and before the
fire department arrived, smoke was
pouring In volumes from the roof Of
the building. A heavy wind was blow
ing at the time 1t was believed that
the building was doomed to total de-
struction. Furniture was removed
from the lower apartments occupied
by Mr.. and Mrs. Chris Nielsen and Mr..
and Mrs. J. L. Hoffman. but because
of the dense smoke pouring from the
upper apartment occupied by Mr.. and
Mrs. Davis, it was impossible to re-
move the furniture.
The chemical engine arrived at the
fire few moments after the siren
was sounded and did effective work In
checking the outbreak of flames un-
til the arrival Of the pump and hose
cart Holes were chopped through
the roof and within q short time It
was evident that the department had
the best Of the flames and within half
an hour the fire was extinguished.
The loss is estimated to be about
1920 fully covered by insurance.
The building. with the exception OF
a small part. Is Of brick. and from the
fact that the fire caught in the attic.
making effective work on the part Of
the firemen almost impossible, It was
believed by many that nothing but the
brick walls would be left. However.
the fire boys played In good luck. and
by hard work, was able to save the
building from total destruction.
