A True Missourian.

old friend who so long enliyened
the minds OK the people Of Lex

paw-paw, but it is a Missouri
F. product, and the "darned yank, y
t who never saw a paw-paw till
t they came to Missouri, need not
d sheer at it.
But my pride was given a rude
shock last Sunday morning,
when l saw an editorial in the
Kansas City Star, %ridiculing
