the District Court of the United States for said district a libel praying seizure 
and condemnation of 85 sacks of Corno stock feed, at Asheville, N. C, alleging 
that the article had been shipped by the Corno Mills Co., East St. Louis, ill., 
September 28, 1925, and transported from the State of Illinois into the State 
of North Carolina, and charging misbranding in violation of the food and 
drugs act.

was an imitation of and offered for sale under the distinctive name of another
