Coroner John E. Fahey announced
after an inquest today into the death
of Mrs. Norah Johnson kettelle that
in his formal report which would be
filed in a few days he would declare
that she had committed suicide. Mrs
ettlle, bride of John d. ettelle of

September IS from a camp at Lake
Mahapaug in the town of Union,
where the two were spending their
honeymoon. Her body with a rope
about the neck, was found in the
lake on September %
Mr.. eKttle testified today that he
knew of no reason why his wife
should have killed herself He said
the only way he could account for it
was that any young woman of high
strung temperament might be af-
fected by entering upon new expert
ences.
Medical Examiner G. Percival Bard
described the autopsy and said death
was due to strangulation. He said
the position of the rope, tied about
the neck with a shpknot. together
with the other circumstances led him
10 believe that it was a case of sui
eide.
The other witnesses were persons
who had seen Mrs. ettelle about the

to Aid the JObless

Washington, Sept 26-Urbain Le-
doux took his b-for-the-j obless
campaign to the White House today
and asked President Harding to
make public ,as a first step towards
social rehabilitation, the names OF
all those who had doubled their
wealth by war profteering.
AS an alternative LedouX proposed
that the President issue public ap-
peal that those who profited by the
war should give 30 per cent. of their
wealth to a governmental fund Tor
relief of the unemployed. His sug-
gestions he said. were received with
marked interest by the President, al
though no indication was given that
they would be adopted for the pres
ent.
President Harding is understood to
have told LedouX he did not consider
it possible under the law to make
public figures gathered by the in
come tax division of the treasury as
to war profits. The President was
quoted by Ledoux as saying also that
he felt that the public appeal pro-
posed could be resorted to only in a
case of dire necessity
Ledoux who attracted attention by

ference on unemployment. He ar

the old warship anchored off Tangier
Island in Chesapeake Bay tore off
her mast, destroyed superstructures
and turned her over on her side in

landed in the water within 20 to 30
feet.
The plane which gave the Alabama
her death blow flew over tho vessel

back, and from the observations
taken, the 1000 pound bomb landed

New Varieties Corn
Attract Attention
in K. J. Window

In the north window of the Ken
nebec Journal Print Shop are ex-
hibited three kinds of ensilage corn
which have been matured for seed
by Jefferson Farms, Inc, at their
SomerVille branch, formerly the
John Turner farm, and their Jeffer-
son plant. One variety has six ears
showing rainbow Dakota corn
with beautiful colorings which re-
semble Indian bead work, with rus
set and cream predominating in the
color scheme. This variety was pur-
chased by Philip c. Park, propric-
tor of the farms at the international
Livestock Exposition at Chicago last
year and gives great promise as an
ensilago corn for Maine.
Another group is composed of
Michigan dent corn with large fun
ears, and the third variety is a cross
between Leaning (Ohio) dent corn
and Maine flint corn. These ears re
semble flint corn. but are much full
er and longer than the Maine varie-
ty, with scarcely a trace of the dent.
The stalks OF this corn grow to a
height OF 10 to l. feet, and the yield
is nearly double the tonnage per
acre produced BY flint corn. AS
characteristic of the flint corn, this
variety has thrown one red ear
which is shown in the window
Another curiosity in the window is

is a new variety Of clover to Maine,
