ery). Plea of guilty. Pine, $10 and costs. (F. & D. no. 30191. 
Sample  no.   4904-A.)
This case was based on a shipment of butter in package form that was not 
labeled with a statement of the quantity of the contents.
On December 6, 1933, the United States attorney for the Northern District 
of Iowa, acting upon a report by the Secretary of Agriculture, filed in the dis- 
trict court an information against John W. Downie, a member of a copartner- 
ship trading as the D. & D. Creamery, Elkader, Iowa, alleging shipment by 
said defendant in violation of the Food and Drugs Act as amended, on or 
about May 28, 1932, from the State of Iowa into the State of Illinois, of a 
quantity of butter that was misbranded. The cases containing the article 
were labeled in part: " D. & D. Creamery Downie & Dinan, Props. Elkader, 
Iowa.-'
Tt was alleged in the information that the article was misbranded in that 
it was food in package form and the quantity of the contents was not plainly 
and conspicuously marked on the outside of the package.
On December 6, 1933, the defendant entered a plea of guilty to the informa- 
tion, and the court imposed a fine of $10 and costs.
M. L. WILSON, Acting Secretary of Agriculture.
