I.  S. No.  17980-v.     S. No.  C-4652.) 
On February 17, 1925, the United States attorney for the Northern District 
of Iowa, acting upon a report by the "Secretary of Agriculture, filed in the 
District Court of the United States for said district a libel praying the seizure 
and condemnation of 64 sacks of shorts and screenings, at Fort Dodge, Iowa, 
alleging that the article had been shipped by the Kansas Flour Mills Co., from 
Kansas City, Mo., on or about January 13, 1925, and transported from the 
State of Missouri into the State of Iowa, and charging adulteration and mis- 
branding in violation of the food and drugs act. The article was labeled in 
part: " Wheat Grey Shorts and Screenings, The Kansas Flour Mills Co., 
Kansas City."
Adulteration of the article was alleged in the libel for the reason that 
brown shorts had been substituted wholly or in part for grey shorts.
Misbranding was alleged for the reason that the designation "Wheat Grey 
Shorts," borne on the labels, was false and misleading and deceived and 
misled the purchaser, and for the further reason that the article was offered 
for sale under the distinctive name of another article.
On June 23. 1925, the Kansas Flour Mills Co., Kansas City, Mo., having 
appeared as claimant for the property, judgment of condemnation and for- 
feiture was entered, and it was ordered by the court that the product be 
released to the said claimant upon payment of the costs of the proceedings 
and the execution of a bond in the sum of $500, in conformity with section 
10 of the act.
C. F. MAKVIX, Acting Secretary of Agriculture.
