You will probably lira to be four score and ten. Yon have Hved happily and contentedly for the most part and the. beauties of old age shell be your reward for the [yoti have done. But, I regret to say youart soon due for a misfortune. Within a short time you will lose** sum of money/1 * So saying, the gypsy who bad been telling the fortune of 72-year-oid Aaron Bostian, farmer of near Landis, rejoined his fellow wanderers and the small band of rovers moved on toward Kannapolis. After spending several minutes in. pleasant reverie over nice things the fortune teller* had said, strange doubts began to disturb the mental ease of the. old man. Hadn't the predictions, been a bit too glamorous, a trifle too suave ? Rising slowly from his chair, Bostian went to the window and took a lingering look at the rather untidy band of gypsies who were fast disappearing from sight. "Then his hand, as though impelled by an d&Xeenforce, went lightly to his hip pocket?lighUy, at 'first?then frantically. There was ho use looking a second time?his pocketbook, containing $75 of the.jcoin of the realm, Was gone. The gypsy evidently knew whereof he spoke when he said;Bostian was soon to lose a sum of money. After a moment of hysteria, Bpstlan regained his wits and rushed to the telephone. Getting the Kannapolis. police headquarters at the othor 'end of the wire, he described the fortune .teller. A posse composed of Chief of Police Chapman and several deputies at ?nog-took up the trail. They foiagi their^prey on the outskirts ef^ ^the Towel City. Recognizing the fortune teller from Bostian's description, they searched him and recovered all the stolen money. It was returned to the old man last night, Mountains Of Salmon The Skennu river boasts a great number \>f salmon canneries, and, next to the Fraser, is probably the largest center of this industry in British Columbia On occasions when the fishing fleet comes in with ^big : catch, as many as 20,000 to 80,000 large salmon may be seen at one time "llF~a"raihbo\v-hued pi lie of sparkling beauty. \ ^ I Aaaaal Bazaar w The annual Christmas Bazaar Of the Presbyterian Auxiliary will be ; held on Friday antf~Saturday, Decern- j b.r 7th ?Tvd 8th. the p'?? *1B announced later.

W. Hinkle, J u bookkeeper of the Crown Hosiery mills, killed two pf his Children and! then ended his own life sometime last! night in the woods near Hay worth Springs, a few miles out from High! Point. The three bodies were found this, morning shortly after the break of day by members of j? searching j party. From all indications at the place of] the tragedy Mr. Hinkle killed first his little seven-year-old girl, Elizabeth, then his ten-year-old son, Virgil, and then himself. ; The bodies were all close together when found. The, little girl was lying flat of her back with both arms stretched out ovpr her head. There wgye no signs that the child had made "any struggle anJ I apparently she had died instantly. I The little boy was lying on his right side and there were some signs indicating that he had kicked once or twice before dying. The father was lying on his left side with one hand extended, holding to a bush, indicating. that he had struggled sometime before dying, A 38 calibre pistol was found about twoi feet from the father between Kim and I the two children. The Hinkle, family lived at 328] Woodrow#avenue, this city. Mr. Hin-| kle left home with the children yesterday afternoon about 5:30 o'clock. His Wife, who was preparing $upper at the time, did not kpow that they were gone until she went to call them to supper. The children had been playiftg in the yard and Mr. Hinkle had been in the house. Mrs. Hinkle noticed that the family car, which] had been parked in front of the house was gone, and although she could not understand why Mr. Hinkle had taken the children away at that time, she did not become uneasy until nfter some time they failed to return. .A search for Mr. Hinkle and the children was begun by friends of the family about .10:30 o'clock last nfghr. 4At li O'clock a report that they were missing was made to the police and officers joined in the search. After several hours of searching, a member of the party suggested that the Hayworth Springs section be visited. Mr. Hinkle's sedan wax found <btit he and the children could not be located. Flash lights were secured and the search was continued until 4:30 o'clock but without results and the party postponed'further efforts until daybreak at which time the three bodies were found. ^ The widow and the friends of the family are unable to give any reason foy'Hht tragedy. Mr. Hinkle, they say, had been in ba<l health for some time, but had not appeared greatly depressed over his condition. He is said to have been in goocT spirit* yes- ; terday.

Kemhaw County Girl Winner In Contest (Sunday's Columbia State) Miss Ozella Bradley, daughter of A. (j. Bradley of Camden, Route 4, and the youngest of eight children, was announced the iState Fair winner of first place in the Four-H club girls' health contest which has been conducted through the year by the home demonstration department of the state extension service. Miss Bradley's mother is dead. The contest got under way about one year ago, and this summer at Winthrop, Four-H club winners in various counties met to participate; in the district contests. Winners in these contests were: Misses Ozella Bradley, Kershaw cbunty, representing Pee Dee district; Mildred Reeves, Colleton county, representing Central district; Catherine <Long, Newberry county, representing the Piedmont district. These district winners were in competition during the state fair with the result that Miss Bradley won first place; Miss 'Long second and Miss Reeves third. The physical examinations were conducted fyy Dr. B. F. Wyman, ?who With able assistants has cooperated each year in this Fpur-H club project. The food, nutrition and growth phases of the contest with individual food habit records were under the supervision of the hornet demonstration agents and . state food and nutrition specialist, Miss Minnie Floyd. The organization and general supervision was directed by Mrs. Harriet F. Johnson, state girls' club leader. The final scoring on physical conditions, food habits, health habits, posture, conditipn of skin, hair, feet, nails and so forth was made last Wednesday at the Baptist hospital with Doctor Wyman in general charge. Since Doctor Wyman participated in the district judging he left these examinations to a new committee of physicians. For the final judgment of the three district winners, the following contributed their assistance as an examining committee; Drs. A. T. Moore, O. B. Mayer, W. J. Bristow and T. P. Growford, dentist. General assistance was given by Miss Loney I. Landrum, state home demonstration agent. The purpose of the health contest, it is announced by Mrs. Johnson, state girls' club leader, is to advocate periodical jhealth examinations in cooperation with the department of rural health and sanitation, physical improvements, and to improve in nutritional and health habits as one of the regularly emphasized projects of the home demonstration department. "The greatest incentive/' Mrs. Johnson said, "is for.each club girl to 'make herself her best exhibit." As an outcome of this contest, the highest scoring girl represents the South Caroliua Four-H club-work ih Chicago at the National Health contest. This is included in the program oMhe national -boy*' and girla' club committee which is held in connection withi" the International LiVe Stodfc exposition.
