On April 1, 1938, the United States attorney for the Southern District of

district court a libel praying seizure and condemnation of 10 tubs of butter 
at New York, N. Y., alleging that the article had been shipped in interstate 
commerce on or about March 22, 1938, by Veblen Home Creamery, from Veblen. 
S. Dak., and charging adulteration in violation of the Food and Drugs Act.
