UNCLE JOE WILL BE THE GUEST OF HONOR President Will Give Him Dinner
 Friday Night SALVE FOR HIS PRIDE Speaker Has Never Attended White House Functions Because He is
 Too Far Down Line of
 Precedence.
SALvE FOR HIS PRIDE

Washington. December 30.-(Special.)- The President will give a dinner to Speaker Cannon next Friday night. It will be news to almost every one that the speaker Is a stickler on precedence, but that is what brings about the dinner in his honor at the White House. Wash ington society Is much interested in the announcement as 1t is something entirely new on the society bill boards. For years past it has been noticed that at none of the state dinners at the White House has the name of the speaker of the house appeared. This was for the very good reason that Speaker Cannon did not attend them.
 It is a phase of the old rivaly be- tween successive speakers of the house and others as to which outranks in of ficial status and which should take precedence at semi-official functions When Cannon became speaker he was the last man with his extreme demo- cratic ways and prejudices against dress suits that the supreme court thought they could fear The gossip reached the ears of the speaker that he was being considered ''easy'' and the result was that the speaker got up his "dander" and whenever big dinner was given at the White House. the speaker was i'll, unless he happened to have a previous engage ment
 At the dinner to the diplomatic corps, the secretary of state would sit on the Presidents right hand, the dean of the corps at his left Then would come other diplomats and ministers, the result being that the speaker would pretty nearly reach the foot of the table. The same result would attend the dinner to the supreme court, the attorney general sit ting on the right and the chief justice on the left. The speaker made no point of the matter, but simply remained away. The President finally caught on and a dinner at which the speaker will be the guest of honor Is the result.

For three years the department has perimenting in the production of seed tobacco in Alaama and the rest very gratifying and seem to indie ultimate establishment of a profita bacco industry
 In 1902 soil surveys were made upon the request of Representative Underwood in Perry and Dallas counties. The soils were found to closely resemble the soil of Cuba and similar also to soils in Texas and Florida where Gu tan seed tobacco is being successfully grown. It was then decided to extend the tobacco experiments in growing Cuban leaf tobacco to this section and the department has issued a bulletin describing the progress of this work In 1906 the acreage of tobacco in Alabama increased more than two hun dred per cent
 And" said the report ''there seems to be no reason why profitable industry should not he built up If the farmers will only conduct 1t along conservative lines and endeavor to produce the type of leaf that is demanded by the trade. Diversified farming must be the future alm of the southern farmer and the in- troductlon of tobacco In Central Alabama will be one more crop added to the staple products of that section of the state.'

"Ole Olson" Tonight.

Ben Hendricks, the favorite Swedish
dialect comedian and Northland
singer, comes to the Frazer tonight
He will present his everlasting play
"Ole Olson" The story of "Ole" un-
folds a plot of intrigue, love and
comedy situations. The play is a
clean, refined and gentle type and in
the role Of "Ole" Mr.. Hendricks finds
a character entirely suited to his pc
culiar style and one which affords
him ample opportunity to display his
superior ability as vocalist and a
comedian, and his Interpretation of
the young Swedish emigrant is the
best work which the talented star has
ever done.
Mr.. Hendricks songs always have
strange sweetness. Maybe 1t is the
way in which they are rendered and
maybe 1t is the melody, but neverthe-
less, 1t is there and the audience, we
are sure, will not be slow to attest
their appreciation. This season Mr..
Hendricks will sing six new songs
which have become very popular.
