Pioneer Elk Organizer in South
ern West Virginia; Has Given
Long and Faithful Service to
The Order; Health Only Fair

1t is no more than right and
just to give a man credit for
what he is and does. And while
there are those who had rather
burn their darn eyes out than
pay tribute of praise to another
person for his accomplishments.
1t nevertheless remains an out
standing fact that you can't al
ways defeat good man. The
deeds of good m e n will perch
themselves somewhere on the
banners that cannot be hid in
the face of any and all critics.
A. B. Grasty, of Yukon, not
now in the very best of health, is
to be credited with the honor of
being the pioneer organizer of
Elks througout Southern West
Virginia. BY his loyalty, his
sacrifice and his unyielding be-
lief in Elkdom the country over,
he is one of the most highly re-
pected member of the Improv-
ed Benevolent Protective Order
of Elks of the World througout
the entire domain of Elkdom.
]. Finley Wilson, Grand Exalted
Ruler. as well as the rest of the
higher-ups the country over
have h fondest appreciation
of Grasty's faith and faithful
ness to the great principles of
the worlds staunchest fratern-
al order. At Baltimore in Au-
gust it will be pleasing to have
Grasty to represent this section.

The Pubic is Invited to Hear
This Our Own Capehart

Through the ladies of the
church, Sunday School and
other auxilliaries, the services of
Hon. Harry j.. Capehart have
been secured to appear at the
Keystone Presbyterian church
next Sunday, July Oath, at the
eleven O'Clock sefvices. He will
be the main speaker of the day.
The fact that Mr.. Capehart is
one of our home products, hav-

humble in this city from which
he emerged into legislative pro-
minence, merits for him the
right of his home folks to have
him be willing to come back to
Keystone and give the people
some of that enriched mind and
brain for race uplift and for the
best government of society life.
The church people, both men and
women, are overwhelmingly
joyous at the opportunity to
have such an able representa-

us. The white people also are
expressing their desire to turn

warning to Negro workers to be
airy of entering the embroglio
between the CIO and the AFL,

too anti-Negro and the Go was
too young and controversial for
the Negro workers.

England's Attitude in
Crisis Stiffens, New
Warnings Made

LONDON, Sept. 9. (UP)
= Sir Neville Henderson,
British ambassador to Ger
many, has been instructed
to make new representations
to the German government in the
Czechoslovak minority dispute, it
was learned today.
The instructions were sent after
the receipt of angry protests from
Viscount Runciman, who is in
Prague as the British adviser in
the dispute, against the British
governments course.
So strong were Runciman's pro-
tests, it was learned, that they
reused fear that he might resign
and thus publicly repudiate his
own governments actions.
There were signs that the gov
ernment's attitude was becoming
firmer and that any hope that
Czechoslovakia could be sacrificed
on the altar of realistic" diplomacy
had been dissipated.
