Why the Statue Had No Hands
The most eloquent prayer is often prayed through hands
that heal and bless. One of the highest forms of worship is
unselfish Christian service. We need fewer words and more
charitable works. We need less talk and more pity, less creed
and more compaSSioN...
Doctrine is important. But the Bible teaches also the
importance of doing the things our Lord Jesus commands.
In the city of Strasburg, Germany, is a church that was
bombed during World War II. It was totally destroyed,
but a statue of Christ which stood by the altar was almost
unharmed. Only the hands of the statue are missing.
The people of the church rebuilt their sanctuary, and a famous
sculptor offered to make new hands to attach to the arms of the
statue. But after considering the matter, the people decided to
let the statue be, without hands. They said, “Christ has no hands
but ours to do his work on earth. If we don’t feed
the hungry, give drink to the thirsty, entertain the
stranger, visit the imprisoned, and clothe the
naked, who will?”
Christ is depending on us to do the things that
he did while he as on earth.

Lyon County Historical Facts
Provided by Lyon County Historical Society
Miss Henrietta Becker told of starting a “literary” when she was the teacher
at Fairview school northwest of Hartford. In the interest of developing community spirit, the neighbors had programs, speakers, a Sunday school, and often,
box suppers. Box suppers were very popular in those days. Young women would
work hard preparing a beautiful lunch and then packing it in a decorated box.
A girl was never supposed to show her boyfriend her box, but he was supposed
to figure out which one was hers and then bid money for it and for the pleasure
of eating with the girl. Boxes might be decorated like a flower garden, a ship, or
perhaps like an umbrella, just decorated fit to kill!
Later Miss Becker taught at Muttonhead school west of Hartford. Again the
neighbors were very interested in promoting the literaries. Once while she was
teaching there, three counties were represented at the literary – Greenwood,
Coffey, and Lyon. People might hear of a program a school was giving and then
would invite them to come present it. A school in Greenwood County was
giving a program they called “Tom Thumb”. They loved giving it, and Muttonhead school loved hosting the program and inviting other schools to enjoy the
program. School board members John Swanner, Orlin Edwards, and Martin
Meuller were big promoters.

The definition of a
stock contractor is one
that “ensures that the
four-legged athletes of
the rodeo industry are
healthy, well-fed, properly cared for and fit to
perform.” That definition leaves out a few
important details, like
the fact stock contractors bring much more
to a rodeo than just the
animals. Anyone who
sees the line of Cervi
Championship Rodeo
rigs roll through town
knows they are in for a
show Started in 1973, Cervi
Championship Rodeo
supplies bucking horses
and bulls, pick-up men
and chute help, timed
event stock, and an
entertainment factor to
each of the 42 rodeos
they produce each year.
Behind the scenes at
each rodeo, one of the
Cervis is coordinating
every detail from the
amount of hay and grain
to feed each animal, to
the lineup of the grand
entry.

young men at the helm

largest rodeo companies,
and it is easy to see that
cowboy is in their blood.
Binion, Chase and
Scott Cervi know every
aspect of rodeo. Binion,
31, manages the bronc
breeding program and
business end of the
company; Chase, 29, is
a sought-after pick-up
man and manages the
bucking bull breeding
program; and Scott, 34,
runs the day-to-day op-
erations of the company
while serving as the
chute boss on the road.
Each one of the Cervi
crew has been immersed
in rodeo all of their
life. Yearly, the young

the National Western in
Denver, the San Antonio
Rodeo and serve as stock
coordinator at the iconic
Pendleton Roundup.
It takes savvy to run a
renowned rodeo company like Cervi Championship Rodeo. To start,
you must have stock. The
850-horse herd the Cervi’s maintain in Stoneham, Colorado, sets a
high standard for quality
bucking genetics. Each
year, the products of
the breeding programs
continues the streak of
having a Cervi bronc
buck at every National
Finals Rodeo since 1967.
In 2014, Vitalix Hells
Fire Hostage bucked
his way to two NFR
round winning scores
in the saddle bronc. The
bucking bulls also give
cowboys a run for their
money. With more than
200 bulls between their
Colorado and Texas
breeding facilities, there
is no shortage of athletic
stock to choose from.
At the 2014 NFR, E20
Mad Money was the
highest marked bull of
the night; according to
probullstats.com, he has
a 83.5% buck off rate.
These are the quality of
bucking stock the Cervi
crew brings to each and
every rodeo produced.
No spectator leaves
a Cervi rodeo disappointed in the bucking
or timed event stock’s
performance. In signature style, no matter the
rodeo’s size or location,
Cervi Championship
Rodeo brings the best of

PUBLIC AUCTION
By Helaine Fendelman and
Joe Rosson
Tribune News Service
Dear Helaine and Joe:
My husband received
this item from an aunt,
and we would like to have
any information that you
can provide. The only
marking is the one in
the picture and it reads,
"5325 Italy, Ardalt, Capodimonte Marino."
Thank you,
C. P.
Dear C. P.:
We are going to break
down the mark step by
step so this piece can be
understood. First, the
"5325" is a style number
that refers to this particular box, or "casket."
We do not know the size
so we cannot be sure of
the purpose for which
this box was designed
to be used, but we will
speculate that it is a small
jewelry box.
Next, we will skip to
the word "Capodimonte,"
which should actually be
spelled "Capo-di-Monte,"
or "top of the mountain."
But this is really just a
quibble, because most
modern spellings of this
place name do leave out
the dashes and capital letter and make it into one
word _ and that is OK
with us.
The story begins
with King Charles III of
Naples, who established a
porcelain making factory
in 1743 at his palace just
Treasures
outside of Naples known
as Capo-di-Monte. But
when King Charles got
something of a promotion and became King of
Spain in 1759, he moved
his best workmen, models and clay to a new factory near Madrid called
El Bueno Retiro.
Capo-di-Monte was
idle until 1771, when
King Ferdinand of Naples
revived the factory and
soon moved it into
Naples proper, where it
produced both soft-paste
(artificial) and hard-paste
(true Chinese-style) porcelain until 1821. Later,
the molds were reportedly sent to the famous
Ginori factory at Doccia,
Italy.
It should be noted,
however, that Capo-diMonte's most famous
mark _ a crowned "N"
_ has been used by a
rather large number
of companies over the
years, including E. Bohne
of Rudolstadt, Germany, and Carl Theme
of Potschappel, Saxony,
Germany. The presence
of the word "Italy" means
the piece was made in
that country in accor-

dance with the McKinley
Tariff Act, which went
into effect in 1891.
But the most important part of the mark is
probably "Ardalt," which
tells the tale of when this
piece was made. Ardalt is
an American importing

company that had its offices on Madison Avenue
in New York. It started its
importing in 1945 after
the end of World War II.
Most of its wares came
from Japan, but some did
originate in Germany,
France and Italy.
The "AA" paper label
is often found on porcelain giftwares of the low
to middle range, and the
particular piece belonging to C. P. was probably made sometime in
the 1950s or '60s. Ardalt
reportedly went out of
business sometime in the
1980s. Finally, the word
"Marino" seems to refer to
the style of this piece with
its design of sensual lovers
and flying cupids.
The products imported
by Ardalt are considered
by most collectors to be
relatively modern, moderately priced giftwares,
but the Capo-di-Monte
name does help a bit. Still,
the insurance value of this
piece at this time is probably less than $50 (unless
it is a large size).

CattleWomen's Creed
Believing that the livestock industry is of basic
importance to world existence,
we, the Kansas CattleWomen
dedicate ourselves,
to support it with our labor and finances,
to promote it through information and publicity;
to encourage its procedures with our
understanding and love,
to do all in our power to instill
in the coming generation
the love of the land and of life,
the humility and awe before Nature,
and the hope and faith in the future
that is inherent in cattlemen and cattlewomen.
The CattleWomen's Grace
Let us give thanks this day
that we are free women in a free land
gathered together in a sisterhood
to enjoy and support men's earliest industry
the tiding of which we are to
accept with pleasure
in this hour of gracious companionship.
Amen
(contributed by Mrs. Glen Hall of Montana)

The Law Enforcement
Torch Run began in Wichita, Kansas in 1981 with six
runners and has grown to
an international program
that involves thousands
of Law Enforcement personnel raising millions of
dollars annually to benefit Special Olympics programs in the United States
and abroad.
The Torch Run is the
largest grassroots fundraiser and public awareness vehicle for Special
Olympics Kansas. Officers volunteer hundreds
of hours each year and in
2014 raised $522,632.45
in support of Kansas programs. This remarkable
feat was accomplished by
holding events and fundraising through the torch
run, special event fundraisers (i.e. Polar Plunge,
Truck Convoy), sponsorships and donations.
Kalmar Industries is the
Guardian of the Flame.
