Oregon agriculture, particularly, suffers from the

checking stations are to be the vogue, then this state

system seems to bring protection to home growers’
purses as well as to their plants.

SPEAKING OF RELIGION!
Realizing that we may be treading on toes of many
readers’ preferences, the Miner would like to voice
an opinion about religion as it is expounded today.
We hasten to add, however, that our criticism con
cerns the phraseology of the gospel’s exponents rather
than their methods.
Exactly why men who hold forth in the pulpit
and incorporate the modern advantages of radio and
at time of writing and should be presented in modern
dress and fashion for modern people.
Fortunately, there is an increasing number of
preachers of the gospel who adopt no pompous, af
fected speech for delivery of their messages. They
speak directly, clearly and without frills, relying more
on the meaning and moral sense to be conveyed for
their effectiveness.

__________ By SCOOP__________
One of the greatest showmen
who ever appeared in a wrestling
arena was Al Karasick, recognized
Russian lion, and in a late issue
of The Ring magazine is an art
icle about "Old Al” that should
be of interest to local fans:
"The appearance on the scene
I of Al Karasick, the Russian lion,
added considerably to the success
enjoyed by the mat game in Ha-
| waii. For it was Karasick who
took over wrestling rights at the
auditorium and staged some of
the most sensational matches of
the year. Karasick brought world-
famous figures to Honolulu, in
cluding the foremost wrestlers in
the game today.”

We wonder what happened to
the erstwhile scribe who a short
time ago attempted some bally-
hoo against wrestling. Since the
appearance of the article in a lo
cal paper, there has been a con
siderable increase in attendance
(from Ashland) at the Medford
matches every Monday night.
Maybe said scribe can take down
his mighty pen and bring out a
few more fans.
