PERSHING'S OLD WAR HORSE AGILE
 IN STEEPLECHASE

MIAMI, March IT. = Proctor, a bay gelding ridden by General Pershing in France during the World War, has turned to peace time exploits of steeplechasing and horse show performances to show that a horse is only as old as he feels.
 Purchased in 1918 for the com mander of the American forces, Proctcr served his time abroad and cam home to the cavalry school as Fct Riley, Kan. There Gen. E. l.. King took fancy to him and Capt. Flank Carr developed hi jumo.ng technique.
 Proc..o- later was taken to Fort McPherson, near Atlanta, and his apoea- arces in horse shows be- gan. He wen the heavy hunter class in the Atlanta event last spring.
 Proctor will compete in the In- ter-Arny Post Military competi- ton of the Miami Biltmore Horse Show here and he is ready to snort defiance at younger friskies seeking to outpoint him.

 The total cost of construction and reconstruction under the con- tracts is estimated at $160, 0,000 ,O00
 Loans Aid Construction
 The merchant marine act of 1920 also created a $25,00O 900 fund with the United States Shipping Board to be used for loans to en- courage ship building
 Prior to 1891 ocean carriers were paid only the postage earned for carrying the mails.
 But the formation of the Uni versal Postal Union in 1874 pro- vided reciprocal agreements by which each nation was to deliver mail of foreign origin free of charge in it's own territory and re- tain all postage receipts for mail to be delivered in foreign coun- tries.
 AS a result the United States reduced it's foreign postage rate from 25 to 5 cents, and the re- ceipts of the ocean carriers were less.
 War Shows Ship Shortage
 The law of 1891 was the first subsidy of general application. Il permitted mail contracts on mile- age basis of from $4 to 63, cents a mile.
 But the Postmaster eneral in 1891 even then considered these rates too low for an effective sub sidy, and when the World Wal came on the United States was short of shipping for its war supp plies and armies, with the result that the government entered in- to a wholesale ship building pro- gram.

 GOING UPWARD

The past year has been one of the busiest for new projects since the building of the town, and those under way or already proposed to be undertaken embrace some of those most vital to the accommo- dation and comfort of all residents.
 Smith Not a Candidate
 Owing to great increase of du- ties expected in connection with his expansion in the drug business, Guy L. Smith will not become a candidate for reelection as mayor He points with pride, however, to what has been accomplished by the Council during his term of of feel. A partial list of the projects includes the successful concluding of negotiations. with officials of the Office of Indian Affairs for the erection of their splendid building here, securing an unusually advan- tageous lease of the local cannery plant, starting construction of a wonderful fresh water reservoir, filling in the Third Street bridge, starting of street improvements and all the c.
