SIXTY MILLION
BARRELS CEMENT
ARE PROCURABLE
Beds Are 80 Feet Thick
In Some Places, Is
Claim 81 a

Sixty million barrels of Portland
cement.
! That is the quantity that can be
produced, on basis of 1000 barrels
a day during a six-day working
week and fifty week year, from
1140 acres of compact beds of fossil
shells in Imperial county during a
period of 100 years, according to
engineers for the American Portland
Cement company of Los Angeles.
The remarkable deposits on the
property of the company, now be-
ing financed, consist of beds of
fossil shells which vary two and
three feet to sixty feet in depth,
The beds, it is said, lie in success
sive layers, corresponding to sue
cessive ages, and are generally
found one above the other, vary
ing from two to 80 feet in thickness
and having between these layers
strata of clay of about equal depth.
After extended examination of
the depths by engineers for the
company, officials of the latter
haye stated that the available tom
mage of shell, from which the firm
plans to manufacture a high grade
of Portland cement, is in excess
of 15,000,000 tons and that this
estimate includes only the tonnage
which is either visible to the eyeI
or clearly indicated. No allowance,
company engineers say, has been
made for unknown Dimensions of
shell which are known to exist
upon the property and which
would possibly treble the quantity
of shell exposed.
The American Portland Cement !
company was organized little
less than year ago and has an
authorized capital of $3,000,000. 1t
is the plan of the company, it is
said, to erect a cement manufacture
ing plant upon the property it
controls. The latter will cost about |
$750,000 and will represent the
first unit of Il thrce!unit plant with
a daily capacity for manufacturing
about 800 barrels Of cement.

UNCLE WTGGILY PLAYS HOUSE


Baby Bunty, the little rabbit
girl and Jennie, the little chip
munk girl, were playing games in
a leaf-lined hole beneath the roots
of an old oak tree. There was a
cute little hollow under the tree
roots. Dried leaves had fallen into
the hole.
And it makes It lovely house" "
chartered Jennie 'Chipmunk, look
ing at the pretty stripes on her
back fur.
"Oh, ] know what let s do!''
cried Baby Bunty.

ty. We can make little cups of
acorns off the oak tree, and we
can pretend we have cookies and
cakes and all things like that. y
THAT will be piles of fun!'
chartered Jennie. With her sharp
teeth she began gnawing the outer
shells from some nuts which she
had gathered that morning. " We II
take the inside meat out of the nuts
and pretend they re cookies,' said
Jennie. "I'll gnaw the nuts be-
cause your teeth aren't sharp en-
ough for that Bunty."
"AH right, y agreed Baby Bun
ty. And II gather some acorns
to make cups for our tea. Of course,
we really won't have any tea, but
we can make believe.'

the tree roots and then a happy
smile came over her face.
! "It's Uncle Wiggily! - cried
Bunty. "Come on play house with
us, Uncle Wiggily!'
"Where are you?' asked the rab-
bit gentleman, looking around and
twinkling his pink nose inquisltlve

"Under the tree roots!' chatter
ed Jennie. "Come and play house! ;,
v"Why, of course l will, y said
Mr.. Longears, politely. Down he
hoped where Jennie and Bunty
were playing. They had found a
flat stone for 4 table and it was
set with pieces of bark for dishes.
And on some of the bark dishes
were bits of nut meats that JENNIE
had gnawed out, while near chem
were tiny acorn cups.
"Have some tea, Uncle WlSgi-
lv!' invited Bunty.
"Thank you, L shall be glad to
have cup-with some cream and

ele politely.
Bunty made believe pour some
tea out of Il white pebble pot into
the acorn cup. Then she pretend

the sugar was only sand, really, put

Then Bunty put some cream from

"And we hope you like it in our
house, added Jennie.
"Oh, IS lovely play house, "
laughed Uncle Wiggily. "l'm so
glad | came. May | have another
cup of tea?' he asked, passing his
acorn cup, out of which he had
pretended to drink.
Eyes, and may have some
nibbles off your cars?' suddenly
cried savage voice, and the Fuz'
zy Fox thrust his pointed nose down
under the tree root into the play
house. "Pass me some nibbles! y
howlcd the Fox, looking straight az
Uncle Wiggily. And the Fox open
ed wide his mouth.
"Get out of our play house! q
cried Bunty. ...
"Not until / have some ears! "
howled the Fox.
"Take some sugar first!" laugh
ed Uncle Wiggily. With that he
took the bark dish full of sand,
which Bunty pretended was sugar,
and Mr.. Longears threw the sand
right in the open mouth of the Fox.

lod the bad chap. ~ said L want

"We re ali out of ears today"
laughed Uncle Wiggily, and then,
coughing and spluttering because
of the sand on his tongue and teeth,
away ran the bad Fox. Then Bun
