1.-THE Viking" Arctic Film,
Shown at Metropolitan.

NARICK FRISSELL'S picture,
The Viking" has been brought
to the Metropolitan Theater this
week, where it is displayed as splen-
did monument and credit to a young
American who Strove to depict the
dramatic life of the Arctic sealers.
The fatal and famous expedition
which cost the lives Of the producer
and more than a score of his ccrsa-
paniorls last March was returning to
the ice fields to retake shots with
which Frissell was dissatisfied It is
to be hoped that these sequences
were concerned with the plot portion
OF the picture, for the sealing scenes.
the activities connected with the
ship and all the factual portions Of
the work are so thrilling that it Is
uncomfortable that they might have
been improved. The very lame Iove
story which serves as a skeleton for.
the narrative could, however, profit
by any amount of revision Indeed,
the production as a whole would
gain by the complete elimination of
Presumably, FrisselI felt that the
life which he was so keen to bring to
the attention of the public could be
made more real by following this
usual movie pattern. Therefore the
film contains a most painful and in
effective love- jealousy -heroism Sc
quence, somewhat of the Hoboken
variety.
This error cannot, however, spoil
the picture. IN fact. IL does not de-
tract materially from the tremendous
interest Of the "swillin'" scene
(that seems to mean sealing In

Newfoundland seamen use in their
mild moments The ladies of the
plutocracy. after witnessing the
hardships Of the "swiler," may return
home. imbued with an increased ad-
miration of their sealskin coats-if
much enthusiasm for furs can by
any means be aroused in these torrid
times.
The realism of THE Viking" is of
an exciting and extraordinary brand,
and the picture Is to be recommend
ed highly as entertainment, its fanci-
ful portions Notwithstanding.
An amusing short subject on
African life, a comedy short with Ed
die Foy, jr.. and the usual newsreel

Lindys DISCOVER New
Chinese

Kiangsu province west Of the
Grand canal.
They discovered a badly flooded
area heretofore unknown to the
national flood relief commission.
Photographs taken by Colonel

successful, were turned over to the
flood relief commission for use in
its operations.

which covered territory east OF
the canal, Mrs. Lindbergh was at
the controls OF thu big monoplane
throughout most OF today's long,
arduous swing north along the
canal and back along the railway.
Lindbergh photographed and map
ped an area covering 5000 square
miles.
The area covered today was
found less severely flooded than
the region east OF the c-nal, al
though 1t suffered heavily.
Lindbergh said the flood waters,
released more than q month ago
when dykes along the Grand canal
burst. were receding over much
of the territory surveyed tc ~. He
said he and Mrs. Lindbergh were
deeply moved at the sight of ref
uges still clinging to the roofs
of their poor homes, with water
tapping at the caves and no means
Of escape or communication with
the outside.
Crops Destroyed
Most Of the crops Of Kiangsu
province have be VI destroyed by
the floods. Lindbergh said. He
pointed out that even II there is
an early recession OF the floods,
the harvests OF 1891 are lost.
II was uncertain tonight shether
the Lindberghs will make another
survey flight tomorrow, as they
had planned.

FARMERS ROUT

Upton. Iowa. Sept. %. R)-The

Hurriedly modified members Of
the National guard numbering near

trains as a result of a disturbance
yesterday in which 200 Cedar county
farmers rebelled against IS sheriff's
deputies who accompanied two
veterinarians in an attempt to en-
force the law.
When the deputies arrived in
automobiles at the farm Of Jacon
Lenker. the farmers greeted them
with a barrage OF mud and rocks.
Several windows in the officers
automobile were broken. One or the
deputies was pushed into the mud
as he stepped from his car. The Off
GERS then withdrew from the scene
and Sheriff Foster Maxon appealed
to James E. Risden of the state d.
partment OF investigation, assisting
the situation was beyond his control.
Adj. Gen. w. II. Bailey said that
martial law would be declared in the
entire county as o as the troops
had established their Headquarters.

he would return to Iowa from Wash

VALLEY FRUIT
May MOVE out
IN MESHSACKS
tBy staff Correspondent

SAN BENITO. Sept. a. SO
popular have Florida's ten-pound
sacks OF citrus fruits become that
some Valley shippers have already
ordered supplies OF sacks although
official sanction for their use has
not been granted.
Railroads r expected to publish
new tariff provisions soon. how
ever, TO permit shipments in this
type container and the u. S. Dept
Of Agriculture, which maintains q
Mexican fruit worm quarantine and
can regulate the types OF contain
ers In which fruit moves, is said "a
have modification under advise
Varied Usage
The proposed bags are OF the
open mesh type with draw string
openings and which can be used az
grocery bags and other shopping
uses after the citrus fruit IS re-
moved. Onions have been shipped
in containers Of this type holding
30 and 100 pounds for many year.
and most of these bags are made
Of twisted paper fiber.
It is understood that chain
groceries are demanding this type
container for their t.ade. Stores
have q contract for Valley frui,
through the Texas Citrus Fruit
Growers Exchange and this CO.
operative Is said 10 be ready Il
furnish fruit in these bags.
Mostly smaller sizes would be
moved in this manner, It Is stated
The Florida Citrus Exchange
launched this form OF shipment
last season into nearby states in
order to cut down packing charges
This movement for e season
amounted TO approximately 1.0O0.-
600 boxes out OF the IS. COG, 000- box
crop.
Lowers Costs
Some independents grabbed the
idea, and in every case the great
reduction in cost OF box, wrapper
labelling. branding, etc. together
with a lesser freight carrying cost
prompted many packers to use UT
the ordinary fruit in this manner
The bags are sold by the retailer
without rehandling fruit and have
been received with mt fruit by
the consumer because they insure
greater quantity OF average fruit
at substantial savings in cost.
If average quality fruit OF small
er sizes is shipped in this manner
II would leave the larger and more
choice fruit for pacing in boxes
for the fancy trade and probably
bring higher returns.
Sentiment In the Valley was
against use OF bags last year but
due to changed conditions and
competition il Is believed to be
favored this season although one
shipper told this correspondent he
would not resort to bags until
necessary.
