Band Boys Raise and Sell
Calf to Buy New instrument
Robert and Alvin Gritzmacher
Travel IL Miles to Attend
Rehearsals

Much credit has been given the
Sank Centre Boys Band for their
proficiency, but, perhaps it is not
generally known that IA of the
members come from the farm.
Robert and Alvin Gritzmacher,
brothers, raised a calf and sold the
animal, using the proceeds to pur-
chase a very high grade Buescher
cornet to replace the much cheaper
one purchased when the band was
first organized. Robert is a chart
er member of the band, Alvin join
ed two years ago. The latter is now
a member of West Central Agri-
cultural School band at Morris
where he is a student. During his
vacations he plays with his home
band. They drive II miles to re-
hearsals and are rarely absent.
Recently the parents of David
Caughren presented him with a
fine silver clarinet. When the pra-
ents see their boys are making good
progress with their music they do
not hesitate to provide better class
instruments.
Joseph Vogel as a junior MEM
Der started out with second hand
cornet. He proved to his parents
that he could handle the old in
strument which was hard blowing
and difficult for rapid execution. He
too has been presented with high
grade Buescher instrument.
This form Of encouragement by
the parents is greatly appreciated
by the boys and Director Hanson.

Joseph CardinaIDied
In Veterans Hospital
Deceased Had Charge of Hilsdale
Shoe Dept. for Several Years
IS Years Old

The many friends of Joseph A.
Cardinal. former resident of this
city for several years as manager
of the shoe department of the w
.. p. Hilsdale store, will be surpris
ed and very sorry to hear of his
death which occurred at the Ed
ward Hines Jr., Veterans Hospital,
Chicago, Feb. II at 12:45 A. M.
Mr.. Cardinal left Sank Centre
several years ago and for the past
four years had charge of the shoe
of Bailey & Bailey, one
OF Winona's largest stores.
Joe served through the Spanish
American War in the PHILIPPINES;
and was a thorough soldier. When
the Sank Centre Company of Home
Guards was organized in the early
summer of 1917 shortly after the
country entered the World War Joe
became second lieutenant of the
company. His knowledge of mill
tary tactics placed the putting of
the business men through their
setting-up exercises up to Mr.. Car
dinal and he did a thorough job of
it.
Mr.. Cardinals health began to
fail early in the past winter. He
was first sent to the Veterans Hos
pital at Ft. Smelling where he re-
a couple of weeks when he
was transferred to Hines Hospital,
Chicago, where he remained until
he passed away. Death was caused
from Emphatic leucemia an after
effect of malarial poisoning he
contracted in the PHILIPPINES.
He was commander of the Clar-
ence Miller Camp of Winona, Unit
ed Spanish War Vterans in 1880
and was reelected for 1881. He was
past commander of the Earl Nevil-
lie Post, Veterans of Foreign Wars.
The deceased was about IS years
of age. He is survived by his wife;
one SON, John, at home; his mother
at Chippewa Falls, Wis.,, and two
brothers, Charles and Henry, both
residing at Chippewa Falls.
Funeral services were held Fri

Urban Bucheit officiating. Prelim-
mary services were held at the
home, 124 East Mark Street, at 9 a.

Vivid Story ofhe Fall
OfJerasalem is Told
Rev. j. Morgan Tells of Experience
of Allensby's Army When
City Was Capital

Rev. J. Greyham Morgan, pastor
of the Glencoe Congregational
church, painted a vivid picture of
war in all is sordidness when he
addressed the Mems Club of the
Sank Centre Congregational church
Tuesday evening following splen-
did $50 o'clock dinner served by
the ladies of the church.
The gentleman was a member of
Gen. Allensby's army which captur-
ed Jerusalem Dec. 8, 1918. 1t will be
noted this was nearly month after
the Armistice was signed. On being
questioned by the Herald editor Rev.
Morgan said that they had not re-
ceived the news of the signing of
the Armistice at that time.
The gentleman was going to
school in his native land, Wales,
when the world war broke out in
August, 1914. He enlisted in early
September and saw service on the
French and Belgium fronts for
three years before becoming part
of the Palestine Expedition. His
story is sordid, of course, but in
tensely interesting.
According to Rev. Morgan there
were about 25O,000 men in this ex-
petition most of whom were Brit
ish, but there were French and Bel
gums in the continent which drove
the Turks out of Palestine.
Jerusalem was finally taken with
out the firing of a single piece by
the conquering army.
In this expedition across the de,
sert the invading army was
compelled to suffer untold hard
ships because of the lack of food
and water.
There were about 100 men pre-
sent Tuesday evening as Rev.
Morgan came to deliver this address
without expense. He was accorded a
rising vote of thanks as were the
ladies who prepared the dinner.
In about four weeks another out
standing speaker will be secured. At
this meeting the Mems Club of the
Congregational church will likely
be organized by the election of Of
ficers.
