On September 20, 1940, the United States attorney for the Eastern District 
of Arkansas filed a libel against 188 bags, containing a total of 2,710 pounds, 
of corn meal at North Little Rock, Ark., alleging that the article had been 
shipped in interstate commerce on or about July 17 and August 12, 1940, by 
the Staley Milling Co. from Kansas City, Mo.; and charging that it was adul- 
terated in that it consisted in whole or in part of a filthy substance. The article 
was labeled in part: "Staley's Old-Fashioned White Cream Corn Meal."
On November 26, 1940, no claimant having appeared, judgment of condemna- 
tion was entered and the product was ordered destroyed.
