An interesting meeting of the In
ter State Dairy Council was held at
Coolspring Community Hall on the
afternoon and evening of Wednes-
day, May Z.
Officers of the association address
ed the meeting at both the alter
noon and evening sessions. The
main issue of the meeting was for
the producers not to produce more
milk but better grade of milk. In
the evening a mock trial was pre-
sented on the stage by members of
the dairy council One William Shift
less was indicted by the grand jury
and brought into court for the al
legged mistreatment of his children
by not furnishing them any butter
or milk. His defense was thar lie was
not able to do so, as he needed all
the money he could get for doctors
and patent medicine for his children
that were sick most of the time,
He denied that he did not fur
nish any butter for them, as he did
at times. Upon direct cross exam
ination he admitted that it was
when they visited their grandma
theirs on Christmas Day and when
the preacher came, but the preacher
had not called so far.
Expert medical evidence was of
the opinion that his children were
suffering from the lack of butter
and milk, which contains all the
known elements vital to the needs
of growing children. After summing
up the evidence of both sides the
defendant was found guilty and all
his rights as dairyman revoked
