ice CREAM MEN
TO Be ARRESTED
Moline Company and Davenport
Concern Must Face Charges
in Moline Court.
CAMPBELL DEFENDS SELF
Says His Product Was Not Honestly
Tested-Claims II Contains
Standard Of Butterfat.

Announcement is made today that
two of the ice cream manufacturers
whose product was tested and found
wanting by City Chemist F'ritze are
to be arrested early this week and
either forced to stand trial or let of
on promise to discontinue selling i'm.
pure ice cream to the public. The
product turned out by the Davenport
Ice Cream company showed butter
fat percentage of 7.3, while that of the
Moline concern showed but 3.5.
Moline's city ordinance states that
IA per cent is the lowest amount of
butterfat for ice cream, while the
state ordinance is IL per cent. These
figures show that the two concerns
named above are practically making
their product out of nothing more or
less than milk.
The other two concerns whose prod
uct was tested at the same time, show
a much higher percentage of butterfat
and will probably be let off with a
warning to see that their ice cream
in the future measures fully up to the
standard.
Seeks to Defend Himself.
H w. Campbell, proprietor of the
Moline Ice Cream company, issues a
statement in which he seeks to defend
himself and his product. He states
that the test is not true and that
his cream measures at least 10 per
cent He claims that he uses a cream
measuring from IA to Is per cent but
terfat and about four per cent of this
is frozen out in the process of making.
He furthermore says that he wants a
fair and honest test made by the
state chemist and not by local experts
in order to prove that what he says
is true.
Either Campbell is seeking weak
defense or there is something radical
ly wrong with City Chemist Fritze.
The tests made by the local authority
are the same as made by the state
chemist and results will be the same
in each case providing the same
standard of ice cream is tested. There
is no doubling the fact that City
Chemist FritZe's test last Friday of
the Moline Ice Cream company's prod
uct, when he found it to contain 3.5
per cent butterfat, is correct. 1t is up
to Campbell to prove that it is not.

up for the start they shed their OK
fords, each determined to win the
race. After several bad starts the
field got away in bunch. Mrs. Gust
Nelson was out to win the handsome
prize and she succeeded by safe mar
gin and was presented with a silver
salt and pepper set and a silver spoon.
The race for young ladies brought
out a good field. Florence Hogberg
showed that she could run as well
as play baseball She was presented
with a handsome berry spoon in con-
sequence of her victory. The little
girls clamored for a race after seeing
their older sisters pound the turf and
to please them eight were lined up.
They showed themselves to be just as
keen on the getaway as the older
girls. Margaret Wahlstrom won. She
received a cash prize. Owing to the
Baseball was one of the amusements
of the day and the way some of the
ladies played ball proved that they had
been practicing. Florence and Esther
Hogberg are experts at the game and
the way they can sail the ball across
the field made the men turn green
with envy. The chorus at different
times during the day sang popular
songs that were wsll received. All
enjoyed the outing.
