Chance Again Offered
To Hear Ted Lewis

Drizzly rain last evening held
back the crowd expected to at
tend the dance at the Cuban Club
and as a result members of the
sponsoring committee decided to
hold over the dance orchestra for
another affair tonight.
Those who did come out last
night were most complimentary
in their praise for the excellent
brand of music supplied by the
Rockaway Beach orchestra head
ed by Ted Lewis and his Con-
tinentals. This dance music unit
has attained wide fame in and
around New York City and it
should behOove all Key Westers
TO come out tonight to listen to
and applaud the fine talent they
display.
The same gay atmosphere is
planned for the dance tonight.
Costumes will be in evidence
even more so, as this is Halo
we'en night. Special entertain
ment along hilarious and surprise
lines is promised.

Arthur Sheppard. in charge
of a force of men working on
the Identification project on
Elizabeth street. came into
the office of The Citizen this
afternoon with a bottle in
which was a diamond back

length.
Mr.. Sheppard said that he

struck ii with a piece of wood
and decided to bring the
curiosity TO the office to
show it TO the force because
it was such a rarity in Key

Of course there have been
number of these animals

the Florida Keys. but this is
the first time that one of the
deadly breed has ever been
encountered in the city. And
though il was only small

THE LOWDOWN
FROM HICKORY GROVE

l see where there is cam
paign on to sell apples. And the
paper, it says there is big crop
and apples are juicier than ever.
But with a war in Europe, they
are having trouble in getting
boats to ship them in-so us folks
here in the US, we gotta eat
more apples.
And Bob Clark in Minneapolis,
he used to tell a story about a
guy who was going into town
and he met friend. And this
friend says, ST, where you headin'
for? And the guy going to town.
he says, pardner, I'm going to
town to get drunk, and how I do
dread it. ASA
And it is likewise with me on
apples, and apple cider, and ap-
pie pie, and apple cobbler-also
apple-jack.
And there is only one kind of
person who may be opposed to
this apple campaign-and it is
the Doctors. You go to work and
eat a coupla apples a day and
you are not gonna be calling up
any MD. every time the moon
changes.
Yours with the low down,
