Oh or about March 25, 1925, the United States attorney for the Eastern 
District of Arkansas, 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 78 dozen (1,781 dozen) cans of canned corn, 
at Little Rock, Ark., alleging that the article had been shipped by the New 
Vienna Canning Co., New Vienna, Ohio, on or about January '12, 1925, and 
transported from the State of Ohio into the State of Arkansas, and charging 
misbranding in violation of the food and^drugs act as amended. The article 
was labeled in part: (Can) "Maple Sweet Brand Evergreen Sugar Corn Con- 
tents 1 Lb. 4 Oz. * * * Packed By New Vienna Canning Co. New Vienna, 
Ohio."
Misbranding of the article was alleged in the libel for the reason that the 
statement " Contents 1 Lb. 4 Oz.," borne on the labels, was false and mislead- 
ing and deceived and misled the purchaser. Misbranding was alleged for the 
lurther reason
' that the article was food in package form and the quantity of 
the contents was not plainly and conspicuously marked on the outside of the 
package.
On April 6, 1925, the American Grocer Co., Little Rock, Ark., having ap- 
peared as claimant for the property and having consented to the entry of a 
?decree, judgment of condemnation 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 $100, in 
?conformity with section 10 of the act, conditioned in part that' the product be 
relabeled.
