The WOman's Club
lFrom Thursdays DailYl


The luncheon given by the Wom-
ans Club on Tuesday, was indeed one
of the most entertaining, beautiful,
and elaborate affairs of the season.
Mrs. B. L. Young and Mrs. P. w
Parsons were the charming hostess
es, and right royalty did they pre-
side over this enjoyable luncheon,
The toast master was Mrs. Millard
Weller and Mrs. I. R. Henderson led
the prayer.
After the two courses had been
served there was pause during
which Mrs. Weller introduced to the
club, and their guests, Mrs. Frame
of Waukesha, Wisconsin, who is a
charming guest of Mrs. Richard
Townes, of Minter City. Mrs. Frame
spoke to the ladies on subject that
at this time lies very close to the
hearts of the women of any town
and country Citizenship"
Her lecture was most instructive
and highly appreciated by the large
attendance of Greenwood's women of
culture. The ladies were treated to
lovely musical program before and
during the service, rendered by Mrs.
Prosser at the piano, Miss Garlove,
with the violin, and Miss Jane Casey,
as soloist.
After Mrs. Frames lecture the
luncheon was continued with the two
last courses.
Mrs. Weller then made few well
chosen remarks when the monthly
business of the club was entered into
with Mrs. Henderson as president.

TERMINAL GRAIN
ELEVATOR DEAD
DECISION IN CLASSIFICATION OF
LAND CASE SAYS LAW
Is VOID

The terminal elevator at Great
Falls. which was provided for in a
law initiated by the people at the
general election in 1918. will not be
built, If the decision of the state SUI
preme court in the land classification
case is followed.
The initiative bill, creating the
state elevator was passed upon by
the state supreme court in the case
of State ex rel. Lyman V. Stewart
and the court in that case decided
that the state board of examiners
could proceed to sell the bonds to
build the elevator under the law.
In its decision deciding the land
classification case, the court passes
upon the same constitutional Ques-
ton as is involved in the elevator
case and says in its opinion that it
is not unmindful of the decision in
the elevator case but that the con-
|stitutionality of the law was not
taken into consideration at that
time but that the decision was based
on the proposition that the state may
classify persons and objects for the
purpose of legislation.
In it's recent decision it reverses
the former ruling in the following
language: "As the act in question ex-
empts all personal property from
taxation for the purposes of the act,
| it is for this reason unconstitutional
and void. Upon this question. the
case of State ex rel. Lyman v. Stew
art, Supra. is hereby expressly over
ruled"
