GARABED VERDICT
AFTER SECRET TEST
ON WAYTOCAP|TAL

BOSTON. June 3O.-one Of the
greatest problems OF the ages may
have been solved here late yesterday
when Garabed T. h. Giragossisn. an
Armenian inventor. demonstrated
'Garabed." an apparatus by which he
claims unlimited energy may be
taken from the air. The result of
the test OF the invention is being
guarded with the greatest secrecy
In . little room somewhere In
Greater Boston, surrounded by fve OF
Americas foremost scientists. Gira-
gossian set in motion the apparatus
which he asserts will mark an epoch
in the history of science.
Five men entered the building in
which the tests took place. and to-
day only those hve know whether
Garabed is a failure or one OF the
miracles of science.
Today one OF the FIVE scientists,
whose name cannot be made public,
declared il was impossible. to make
any statement regarding "Garabed"
until the report on the dsmonstra-
ton was in the hands OF Government
officials.
ut is impossible to say anything"
he said. Our verdict will be for
warded to Washington. and anything
that may be said about the inven-
ton must come from official
sources"
The Interior Department was Off
cially notified last night that a
sealed report on the test by five SCI
entists Of the Garabed was en- route
to Washington.
The message gave no hint as to
whether the exhibition had proved
favorable: but Government officials
were highly hopeful in view of the
apparent secrecy which was thrown
around the report.

Windham County Boys Demonstrate
the Cost of Raising Pigs.

At the Woodstock Fair, one feature
of particular interest was the exhibit
ton of pigs raised by the Boys Pig
club. Due to the unfavorablbe wealth
er, only seven pigs were finally OBJ
tanned for exhibition, although
greater number had been expected.
Accurate records have been kept on
these pigs by their owners, and the
County Club leader had from time to
time investigated these records. The
weights were taken upon their arrival
at the Fair, and the cost of production
worked out and posted over each pen.
The prize for the most economical
gains went to John Mcclellan, who
exhibited two pigs, representing 348
pounds of pork, which he had raised
at a net cost of IA cents per pound
of gain. This does not include the IN
itial cost of the pig.
Stuart Collins of North Ashford
took second with a net feed cost of
~ cents, and Albert Farrows of Put
nam third with cost of 81 cents.
Albert Farrows also took first
prize for the best pig, by exhibiting a
pig which weighed 222 pounds at SIX
months of age
Aside from the enjoyment derived
from caring for these PIGS, the BOYS
and girls who have entered into this
project will, in general, obtain very
fair profits for their labors.
