in Municipal Court this morning. Wall
ing has an utter aversion for anything
that is like work, It appeared from the
hearing.
Judge Hastings impressed on Walling
that II it ever again becomes necessary
to bring him into court for falling be-
hind on his order. he will be sent to
the workhouse. adding that he thought
It would be a good thing for him to be
sent to the workhouse for awhile.
TIelleck s. Ray, OF the non-support
Office, told The court that when he went
TO the home OF Walling's parents, at
Dobbinsville, near New Castle, yester-
day, Walling's mother said her son was
not In. Mr.. Ray gained admission to
the house, however, 10 see his father,
and found the younger Walling reclin-
ing comfortably on a couch in the
kitchen, smoking cigarettes. His mother
then told Mr.. Ray that the reason Elmer
was not working was that he had a
backache Mr.. Ray said that Elmer's
mother upheld him in his fondness for
"loafing."
1t seems that Walllng has been spend
ing the most Of his time idling and en-
joying moving picture shows. His eX-
cuse for not working steadily is that
he suffers from an old injury to his
back sustained in an automobile ac-
cident.
IL was recalled that when Mrs. Wal
ling flrst brought the charge against
Elmer, she had TO borrow clothing Of
her sister to appear In court.

STATE BIOLOGIST DESCRIBES DAILY
 EXPANSION OF FIELDS.

By bulletin issued by State Biologist c. B. Morgan who says; Tt is impossible to esti- mate the oil resources of Wyom- ing. There are seventeen oil fields in the state where oil is produced for the market. There are seventeen other fields where oil has been struck but not mar keted as yet. There are also scores of prospective fields or wildcat structures, some of which will probably be found. to contain large pools of oil. It is roughly estimated that the Wyo- ming fields contain oil reserves amounting to about 400,000.O0O barrels, The discovery of new fields will naturally increase this figure. The total production up to 1920 from Wyoming fields ap- proximates 50.O00, 900 barrels.
