CIIYPAY'S
HOMAGE To
FALLEN HERO
Chas. Hagerstrom Buried With Mill
tary HonOrs Wednesday-Serv-
ice Was mpressive-Attend- ..
ed by Large Crowd.

Private Charles Hagerstrom, who
made the supreme sacrifice overseas
in the late war, having died from
wounds received in action, was buried
with military honors in Forest Hill
cemetery in this city under the aus
pices Of The American Legion post
Wednesday afternoon. The citizens in
general joined in paying tribute to this
heroic young man. Flags were at half
mast at many places from Tuesday
morning until after the funeral and
business, wherever possible without
serious inconvenience, was suspended
during the time of the service and
funeral, pursuant to a proclamation
of Mayor Roenius
The casket containing the remains
of the soldier arrived from France at
Hoboken, n. j., June 2, reached this
city last Thursday and was taken to
the Ragan undertaking establishment,
from whence it was removed to the
Armory, where it, since Monday, lay
in state, draped with a flag of the
colors so dear to all of as, until We'd
nesday afternoon, when the last sad
rites in honor of the deceased were
held.
The service began at 2 o'clock and
was attended by an immense number
of people, occupying all the seating
accommodations and much Of the
standing room. The bier was banked
in a wealth of floral tributes, includ-
ing a number of beautiful floral de-
signs from individuals and organiza-
tions, above and back of which were
American flags. Rev. Chris Madsen
gave the Invocation. The speakers
were the Reverends Schoechert and
Bennett, both of whom extolled the
deceased soldiers virtues, particular
ly his loyalty to his country, having
loved it SO much that he gave his life
for it. Beautiful music was rendered
by male quartette.
At the close of the service the band
played a dirge while the casket,
mourners and ez-service men and the
battery boys left the hall, during
which time the others who had assem-
bled remained seated.
The order of the funeral procession
was: band, colors, escort, minister,
caisson bearing casket with three pail
bearers on each side, mourners, mem
bers of the deceased soldiers battery
and regiment ,exservice men, Battery
E, service battery, other organizations.
Rev Schoechert spoke at the grave.
This number was followed by The Le-
gion ritual, conducted by Chaplain Hill
The firing squad fired over the grave,
and taps were sounded, after which
the flag was removed from the casket
and presented to VIM. Hagerstrom
father of the deceased soldier.

well wood for fuel, water for the hors-
es and other courtesies, of which they
were very appreciative. The Marsh

BOAT FIRM
WAVEOF
PROSPERITY
Demand For Small Pleasure Craft Is
Unusually Strong-Boats Made
in the East-May Erect Fac
tory Here.

The Disappearing Propeller Boat
company is enjoying a very good run
of business. R. NJ. MacKinnon, secre-
tary of the company, reported that 125
orders for boats lad been received
the past six months and that the out
look forecasts a continuation of this
wave of prosperity. One-third of the
orders have been filed and the work
on the remaining orders is being speed
ed up as much as possible The boats
are being made in Buffalo this year,
but later these activities may be trans
ferred to this city, as the company has
intentions of erecting a factory Of its
own when conditions are favorable for
such an undertaking.
The efforts Of the sales force at
present are being confined principally
to central and southern Wisconsin and
Northern Illinois.
''In talking with other manufacture
ers of small pleasure craft such as
motor boats and canoes, l have dis
covered a curious fact which is that
they all are unable to fill their orders
as fast as received, from which I take
it that this is enc Of the few indus
tries that has not been materially af-
fected by the general business depres-
sion during the past year and a half
The demand for pleasure boats is
stronger than have known it to be il
years"
