J. O. Latta of that place, ti,c paper
giving special honors and the busi
ness houses of the; community join

leader.
Dr. Latta come? from one of the
pioneer families of Cass county and
was born and reared mr.r Murray,
where his uncle, S. F. Lattu. still re
sides and who feels very happy over
the honor that has ccme to his
nephew.
Mr. S. F. Latta also ha? another
nephew that is engaged in the med
ical profession, Dr. Bert Latta ot
Hastings, who has been a frequent
visitor at Murray and assisting in
the care of his aunt. Mis. S. F. Latta,

The tribute to Dr. J. O. Latta, tak
en from the Sun, is a? fellows:
In the confines of the space allott
ed for a complimentary story of Dr.
J. O. Lata it will b3 impossible to do
much more than gve the great local
humantarian further assurance of the
high regard in which this community
holds him.
Dr. Latta was born in Murray.

a homesteader, thus becoming at once
a pioneer and a native sen. The fam
ily moved from Murray to Kcnesaw
where the subject of cur siory grad

came in contact wit a doctors, and a
natural inclination was made a life's
determination when he v. as given in
timate knowledge of the power for
humanitarian service which is given
the country practitioner.
His parents looked with favor up
on his ambition and he was able to
secure his four year course in medi
cine by small aid from them and
many hours of hard labor at what
ever he could find to do to make an
honest penny. lie boasts that while

the local theatres, and a good a groc
ery delivery boy as t v-v won favor
from a back door contco . He grad
uated with the class of lt0L and im
mediately after established himself
in Clay Center.
In 1904 he was unite! in marriage
with Miss Ada I'd. Eavinper. a pop

blessed, blessed indeed, with a daugh

Outside his professional routine
Dr. Latta ha.3 always taken an ac
tive part in every thing which prom
ised community benefit. He leas
served unoi; the state insane commis
sion and for marry years has been
on the county insane examining
board. For more than a decade he
served his city well on its city coun
cil and for four years was at its Imad.
It was during the doctor's term as
mayor that our second great munici
pal improvement, our paved streets,
was undertaken. lie has always been
an active member cf the Chamber of
Commerce, is now its president, and
takes a live in t crest .in Masonic ac
tivities and Knights of Pythias work.
All of these things relative to our
esteemed neighbor are of interest,
but they arc only incidental to the
real life of th great, self-sacrificing
man whom this community honors
in this issue of The Sun. For thirty
two years he has served us night or
day, regardless of weather conditions
or prospect cf remuneration, regard
less of our social standing, regardless
of anything, other than that we need
ed his se rvice. He has brought our
babies, into the world for us and
nursed our mothers back to health.
He has been with us in neighborly
sympathy when our loved ones have
slipped beyond the power of human
skill to retrieve. He has gone down
into the valley of ti e shadow with us
time and again and eourageously bat
tled that family circles be saved in
tact and home ties remain unbroken.
He has lived with u- as one of us lor
more than throe cb cades and with
each, passing day found firmer en
trenchment in cur affections, and
from miles around will come echo
of the v ords spoken today by this
conu.. unity when they say to Dr.
Latta that we love and respect you
and yours and pray that your so
journ with u? may extend far into
the future and he filled with nothing
but peace and prosperity.

TEUST NOT TOO DEEPLY
Dame Nature, good soul that she is,
is flirting around once more,
All much arrayed in gala togs, her
springtime garb she dons;
Ju:t setting the style for Easter, as
she's often done before
In days agone when we trusted her
to clamp stern winter's bonds.
But O, she is a fickle jade, full of
caprice and w iles.
Bestowing favors broadcast on the
sinner and the saint;
Enticing victims to her side with ful
some tears and smiles.
And leaving a soul of credent faith
in sadness and distraint.
A bland cajolery in her mien, and
with sophistry sublime,
You don your glad rags on your back,
and follow- her train,
To find yourself a mile from home
without a wee thin dime
To buy shelter in a taxi from the
chilly wind and rain. "K"
