Our Daily Poem
WHAT is SUNSHINEi

A little gold amidst the gray
That's sunshine;
A little brightness of the way
That's sunshine;
A little spreading Of the blue,
A little heaven breaking through
That's sunshine.
A little looking for the light
That's sunshine;
A little patience through the night
That's sunshine;
A little bowling of the will,
A little resting on the hill,
A little standing very still
That's sunshine.
A little smiling through the tears
That's sunshine;
A little faith behind the fears
That's sunshine;
A little folding of the hand,
A little yielding of demand,
A little grace to understand
That's sunshine.

Special to independents:
Word came herethat James Johnson
of Burlington farmer and Minot lawy-

committee of this district to make the
race for Congress in this, the third
district. Mr.. johnson has many
friends here who will take their coats
off, roll up their sleeves, toss their
hats over the tops of the houses and
do everything in the bounds of hon.
orable department to elect him for
that position.
There are many here who attended
the j. w. Brinton illustrated speech
in Minot during the Recall last Octo-
Der and saw copies of letters from
Congressman Sinclair thrown on the
screen disclosed the fact that Walter
Thomas Mills, woodworking socialist
and J. w. Brinton wrote the con-
CHEESEMAN'S speeches. The people
here are proud of the fact that James
Johnson is able to write and make his
own speeches and will not call on a
socialist to write his speeches. 1t is
also recalled some of Mr.. Brinton's
statements such as "He is my Con-
gresham. Look at the proof I am
giving you. You Nonpartisans thot

u. S. Influence
Strongest Factor
Now in Argentine
BY PEDRO LAGRAVA.

| Omitted Press staff Correspondent
BUENOS AIRES (By mail to Unit
ed Press) North American penetra-
tion in the Argentine is now an indis-
putable TACT. 1t is evident in every
class economic penetration, cultural
penetration, legal industrial-in
methods, in customs, in everything,
even to the vices.
In the economic order of the repub-
lie many great banking institutions
and many important American firms
are definitely established. Five or SIX
years ago there was not single
branch of an American bank here,
and very few firms were all-Ameri
can.
All the newspapers now carry large
ads Of products of the United States.
The merchants talk of American COM
mercial methods, and when they want
to tell an employe to accelerate his ac-
tivties, they. advise him to be moro
Yankee to think rapidly and work
quickly, to lose no time.
made Il good case and can find no
further precedent in Argentine law to
support his arEument he cites laws or
prccedents of the United states. The
judges themselves uphold their deci-
sions by citing announcements of
their American colleagues.
In cultural aspects also the Ar
gentine people incline toward Ameri-
ca,while European development is re-
ceiying less attention. The neWspa-
pers receive their news largely from
American agencies the United Press
maintaining a leading position. Daily
many columns are filled with news
and comments of the United States.
The part Of the population which
understands and speaks / .gish
which is large, reads the American
magazines, papers, etc A few years
ago boxing interested nobody. Foot
ball was little known. Today there is
as much enthusiasm for boxing and
football as well as for tennis and
even baseball, as in the Anglo-Saxo
countries.
The smart dressers attempt to copy
American styles of wearing apparel.
The dcvotecs Of the movies ape the
customs and habits of the stars of the
silNersheet, where they see how peo-
pie live north of the Rio Grande.
Even in the cabarcts, salons. and So
cial functions, the tango is giving way
to the foN-trot, the shimmy, and the
Boston"
The clubs are adopting names such
as american Social Club" young
Mems Dancing club" etc, all Ameri-
can names.
