Another middle not unlike the Dali
aas-Melcher case turned up before the
railroad commission yesterday when
for second time there came up the ap-
plication Of residents on Monti,
Buchanan county. for station facilities
on the Anamosa railroad.

planning before the commission it be-
came apparent that II somebody would
move the Catholic church over to
Keine or the Methodist church to
Monti. or both and call the consolida-
dated station Monukeine, or something
OF the sort the case might be settled.
In truth. before they finished the chair
man did suggest some sort of a consoli-
dalton Of the two little towns a mile
and half apart but it was received
coldly.

formation that the Kansas people have
now secured boxes that will not violate

In Kansas they are using the smaller
sized quart boxes. They thought they
could evade the Iowa law by labelling
each box pint and half"
Mr.. Barney states that his depart
ment is strictly on the lookout for
violations Of the law. At no time has
there been any intnetion to let 1t go by
default. The lawyers have differed
about the meaning and intent Of the

wavered. It has not received any fresh
information or advice but is standing
sQuarely on the plain meaning Of the
law az to berry boxes Of certain stand
ard sizes being the only ones legal in
this state.
Nine makers Of ice cream are to be
prosecuted for low grade ice cream,
six being Des Moines makers. The
