SUCCESSFUL
FARMERAND
ST0CKMAN
r. r. SCIVALLY BELIEVES IN PRO-
GRESS-lS PUTTING THEORIES
INTO PRACTICE AT SPRINGER
RANCH.

r. +. Scivally, who is one of the
most progressive farmers and cattle
men in this section of the state, has
recently completed deal for some
pasture land in the Arbuckle noun
tains adjoining his property, that
brings his landed holdings up to
twenty-five and one-half sections.
Seven hundred acres of this land
is in cultivation, and is considered
the finest in this section. He has
his ranch equipped with all modern
machinery, and water from a never
failing spring is piped to his feeding
pens, barns and houses. He has
built several miles of macadam road
over his place, and at present owns
four of the most modern silos in
the county.
Mr. Scivally is a believer in high
grade cattle, and owns approximate
ly 300 head of registered stock, Here
fords and Durhams, besides a large
number of high-grade mules and
work horses, although horses and
mules for work on his ranch are
gradually being supplanted by the
modern tractor.
Besides his own cattle, Mr.. Scivally
pastures a large number for Fort
Worth cattlemen, and stock from his
range is said to be in constant de-
mand at the Fort Worth stockyards.
Mr.. Scivally is a firm believer in
the dipping tanks for the eradication
of the cattle tick, and through his
efforts with the state board of agri-
culture much of the success of the
recent orders of that body is due.
Mr.. Scivally contemplates many i'm
provements on his property in the
future, and when finished, he will
have one of the best equipped ranch
es in the southern portion OF the
state.

PIPE ORGAN
|NSTALLED|N
N. T. CHURCH
RECITAL is PLANNED FOR MON
DAY NIGHT BY ARTIST FROM
DALLAS - INSTRUMENT ADDS
TO INTERIOR.

The new pipe organ recently pur,
chased by the congregation of the
Broadway Methodist church has been
installed, and the members are just
ly proud of their new instrument.
The organ will be used for the
services Sunday, Miss Ruby Randol
presiding. The pastor and trustees
have made arrangements for re-
cital Monday night by Miss Daisy
Ferguson, a talented musician and
pipe organist of Dallas.
The organ occupies prominent
position behind the pulpit and choir
loft and is built especially to fit
the space allotted when the church
was erected. This morning several
members of the church listened to
the instrument, being tried out by
Miss Anne Thompson, and were de-
lighted with its beautiful tones.
This is the first pipe organ to be
installed in the city, although sew
eral others are in contemplation.

To Be MADE:
DURING JULY
CONGRESSMAN CARTER FILESI
CONFERENCE REPORT, WHICH
HAS BEEN ADOPTED - SENDS
MESSAGE.

The following telegram was receiv-
ed today by The Ardmorelte from
Congressman Carter:
Il understand rumor is being cir
culated that the per capita payment
has been reduced. 1t is mistake.
The conferees have agreed and |
have just filed the conference re-
port. The item Of $500 to the Choc-
taws and 5000 to the Chickasaws, as
passed by the house, has not been
changed. The payment of the money
to the individual Indians should be
begun during the first days of July
The people generally, and the In
dians especially, will be pleased to
know that the conference report has
been adopted and that there is no
hitch or delay of any kind with ref
erence to the per capita payment
amendment to the Indian appropria-
ton bill. AS a result of the activity
and good work Of Congressman Car
ter several millions of dollars will
be distributed among the Chickasaws
and Choctaws this summer. Mr.. Gao
ter thinks the money will be paid
out during the month of July.
A family of five Chickasaws will
receive $1,000, and family of Choc-
taws of the same size will receive
$500. 1t means much to the com
mercial life of the two nations to re-
ceive this sum of money, and one of
the results will be better homes and
better equipment on the farms Of
the Indians.
For the reason that the Chicka-
saws received a payment last year
of 500 and the Choctaws did not
receive any funds, the payment to
the Choctaws is larger this year. The
two tribes share equally in the distri-
button of the tribal funds in the
hands of the government.
