many trains day pass for their con-

support from him. But he can not see

In striking contrast to the ship

the cans were opened after reaching
the farm it was found that the Jolt

sour milk and large pail of butter
was secured, before the sour milk
was poured out.
The Lindsay Dairy Association has
issued a statement in connection
with the pending case in which it
says that 600 gallons of milk are

putting back upon their runs, the

could NOT run so far as Bayou Sara att

Unless the railroad remedies the
