HORSTER TO REMAIN
WITH NEW BUILDING
Superintendent of Construc-
ton Accepts Permanent
Situation Here.

No man has played a bigger part in
the erection OF the Exchange National
bank building than William "Will"
Horster the big, jovial, hardworking
superintendent who has supervised
every days work on the building from
the shoveling of the first dirt for the
excavation to the installation of the
fine draperies in the private office OF
the president.
Horster is called an international
builder, because there Is hardly a
country in the world in which he has
not erected, or supervised the erection
of structure which stands out as one
OF the big building of that section.
As assistant superintendent of con-
struction, Horstcr was employed on
the Pennsylvania station In New York
city, where he had charge Of the erec-
ton of the huge archwork In that
structure. He was supervising super
intendent of construction on the 81
100000 residence built at Lake For
est by Harold Mccormick and he per-
sonally supervised the erection of
three office buildings in Chicago, each
OF which was more than 16 stories In
height.
He has been the supervisor in the
erection of six bank buildings In the
United states, among them the EX-
change National in this city and rs
superintendent for the Pierce Con-
struction company Of London. Eng
land, he erected the Victoria depot. in
that city which cost more thai seven
million dollars.
At Ypres, Belgium, on the very bat
tie front he supervised the erection Of
the governments post office building
Mt n cost OF more than $1,000. 900, a
building which has since peen des-
troyed by the German fire from the
around and thru that city.

Mr.. lfcrster has been associated
with the Weary and Alfred company
for number of years, but has re-
signed that position upon request OF
the directors of the Exchange Nation
al bank TO accept the position of
building superintendent in the new
building which he erected.

Of such buildings in every part Of the

credit for this wonderful piece OF

0KESA FARMER TO DEPEND

Special to Tho World.

BARTBESVILLE, okla. Nov. 10
Earl Charlton, who owns and operates
a farm near Okesa, Usage county. is
one Oklahoma farmer who Is not
feeding wheat TO his hogs nor is he
worrying about the high cost OF feed
for hogs. lie laughs AT this mo feed
idea, for he has plenty OF feed TO
winter his 100 head of rcd hogs. He
will feed his hogs on acorns and Will
have II fat bunch OF porkers for the
early spring market.
IL WAS this way. Mr.. Charlton and
his father, Attorney John II. Charlton
of Bartlesvile, engaged in the hog
business this year. But unfavorable
weather conditions cut down the corn
crop and the Charltons were about TO
follow the plan OF other farmers in
disposing OF their hogs when the
younger Charlton discovered that the
acorn crop was the largest ever grown
in this section. Why let these acorns
rot. thot young Charlton. SO he
set TO work gathering acorns.
Down around his farm big acorns
and little acorns cover the ground
You can shovel them off the ground
like hay. And that is just what
Charlton has been doing lately. With
n team and wagon he has made many
trips out on tine Usage hills gathering
many wagon-loads OF acorns which he
stored I'm his barn. lie turned his
hogs out into acorn groves some time
ago. They will find their own feed
well into the winter. SO here are a
couple of farmers who are feeding 100
head of hogs without a cent OF eX-
pense. And hogs are selling for the
highest price on record.
