then moved to Webster, S. D., where
he resided seven years and where he
has host of friends who will regret to
learn of his death. He came to POGO
hontas in March, 1909 While his ac-
quaintance here was not extensive, he
was honored and respected by all who
knew him. He had been in i'll health
for three years, suffering from stomach
trouble, which caused his death. He
was lifelong member of the Danish
Luthernaa church. Besides his sor-
rowing wife he leaves eight children,

and on Tuesday it developed into the
worst storm we have had since the
fateful storm of 1888. The Westbound

account of a small freight wreck just

Aryin n. Potter.

How true is that saying Sin the
midst of life we are i'm death" was
forcibly brought home to us Monday
afternoon when it was reported that
Arvin II. Potter had died at 400 o'clock
at the home of his parents, Mr.. and
Mrs. II. III. Potter, of this city.
The young mans acquaintance in this
city was not extensive, as the only time
the people of Webster had the oppor-
portunity to meet him was when he
was here on occasional visits with his
parents. He commanded the respect,
esteem and confidence of all with whom
he came in contact by his manly, up
right bearing and genial, courteous
manner His was character that
makes one feel when you have come in
contact with them, no matter how
casually, that. you have met a man in
the highest sense of the term. and the
world can i'll spare such a character,
especially in youth when he is just at
the opening of a useful manhood. But
the mystery of life is beyond fathom-
ing by the human brain. We find a
young man with every prospect for
useful, happy and prosperous life,
when 10, the dread messenger comes
and the tickle thread of life is snapped
asunder, and soul freed from its earth
ly habilments. We look in wonder and
ask ourselves, why Is it so? But our
faculties fail to compass the mystery
of life and we remain at loss to ac-
count for either the beginning or the
end.
Arvin II. Potter was born at Hamp-
ton, Iowa, June II, 1880, and came to
Dakota with his parents in January,
1884, where they resided several years,
finally moving to Minneapolis. His
boyhood and manhood were spent in
Dakota and Minneapolis. While resid-
ing in that city he learned the electrical
business, which profession he followed
for eight years. He was married in
1902 in Minneapolis to Lola Elwell, and
to this union three children were born,
two daughters and son, aged six, four
and five years respectively.
Two years ago he with his family
was affected with diptheria, and the
disease left him in partially paralyzed
condition. On the advice of his physi-
clan he moved to the country and later
was taken to hospital, but thinking
that change of climate and a mothers
care would be beneficial he was brought
to Webster with his family, arriving
January 5. But the best of medical
attendance and the careful nursing of a
loving wife and mother proved of no
avail, and he breathed his last at 400

SOURCES OF RUBBER.
Some of the Plants That Produce It
for Commercial Purposes.

From Gardeners Magazine.
Probably very few of those who have
gone mad on rubber shares know that the
number of plants producing rubber is
considerable and that they differ very
materially i'm their relative value in the
production of rubber for commercial pur-
poses.
The most important of these is Hevea
brasiliensis tree attaining to con-
siderable height and belonging to the
natural order Euphorbiaceae. This is the
source of Para rubber. which has long
held a commanding position in British
markets.
Ranking next in importance is the well
known Ficus elastica. which belongs TO
the natural order Urticaceae and pro-
duces the Assam rubber. Landolphias,
woody climbers. belonging TO the natural
order Apocynaceae, yield the African
rubbers. and Sapium biglandulosum. be-
longing to Euphorbiaceae. produces the
Colombian rubber. kickXia africana is
the source of the Lagos rubber
Para rubber is obtained from several
species of hevea. but by far the most i'm
portant of them is II. brasiliensis. This
species is widely distributed in South
America and with other members of the
genus is strongly represented in the re-
gion drained by the mighty Amazon and
it's tributaries.
The town OF Para, the center or the
rubber industry of the Amazon, is on the
river Guiana about a hundred miles from
the sea. but the Para district extends
over a large region to the south and the
west. Throughout this and the forests
Of central and northern Brazil rubber
trees are abundant
Rather more than thirty years ago the
suita bility of Hevea brasiliensis for cul-
tivatiop in India was recognized, and
strenuous efforts were made 10 introduce
the tree into Ceylon and other parts OF
our eastern possessions in sufficient num-
bers to carry out experiments on a large
scale.
The difficulties were considerable, but
they were eventually surmounted, and
there are now large areas of rubber trees
that are giving an ample return. Under
favorable conditions the trees grow with
great rapidity. and it is recorded that
rubber trees planted at the Henaratgods
Garden Ceylon. have attained height
of fifty feet and girth of two feet In
six years.
Ficus eIastica, the India rubber plants
OF gardens and the source of Assam rub.
Der. is. OF course. we'll known When
growing In It's native habitat and under
for its full development 1t presents
very different appearance from the larg-
est Of the specimens that may be me-
with under glass in this country.
1t indeed spreads SO freely in cultivated
pla ntations in Burma and elsewhere that
eighteen plants to the acre are considered
quite SUFFICIENT. IT is found growing wild
in moist forests from the base Of the
Sikkim Himalaya eastward to Assam.and
Arracan. and In upper Burma 1t is 80
plentiful as 10 form large forests.
