Prisoners In Famous Tower.

Not everybody can bonst OF having
been imprisoned in the Tower Of Lon
don. but history witnesses to many
people having been there and feeling a
good deal less amused than did a par
ty Of sight-seers who found them
selves locked in the tower. While
visitors were inspecting the armories
and vaults in the White tower. the gar
risOn was suddenly aroused by the
ringing of the alarm bells. which I'm
medi1ltely resulted in the barring and
bolting of gates and doors. SO that no
egress was possible. 1t Is supposed
that. In connection with the repairs
going on. a workman unintentionally
touched a wire attached to the alarm

The Colorado Cooperative Crop Re-
porting service will publish early in
June preliminary estimates on the
acreage devoted to spring wheat, oats
barley and alfalfa for the state. based
upon partial return from county as
SCISSORS and upon percentage estimates
from reporters. Present indications
point to very much increased acre
age of spring wheat and to only
slight changes from last year in the
acreage devoted to oats, barley and
alfalfa. More complete estimates of
the acreages devoted to all crops will
be published in August based upon
practically complete returns from
county assessors. On account of un-
favorable weather conditions assess-
ors are somewhat late completing
their agricultural reports this year
fewer than ten counties having made
complete reports at the end Of May.
