says: On motion of Walter Haldeman
Pearce, acting Probate Judge Samuel

would have the right to name his sue

of his death, although having resided
in Louisville many years,-and his will,
IL he died testate, will have to be pro-
bated in Maysville, Ky.

GOODRICH PAYS
TRIBUTE TO men
THAT TILL LAND

COLUMBUS, Ind. Aug. 2S.-Gover-
ror Goodrich addressed the Columbus
Grange at the fair grounds here We'd
nesday afternoon. He commended the
ullers Of the soil for their conserva-
tism, their stability, their broadminded-
ress, their disposition to be fair and
for their good citizenship. Discussing
the high cost of living. the Governor
said that It Is a condition due to the
war and that history is only repeating
itself, in that like conditions followed
every other big war. While the nation
wide fight against the high cost Of
living In general and proflteering and
boarding in particular will help, it will
not reduce the high cost Of living to
any considerable extent. Time and
greater production alone can do that
and he predicted that the cost Of living
would continue high for at least four
years. despite all efforts.
He said conservatism, sound 1udg
ment and cooperation, with extra eff
fort at greater production. instead Of
unsettled labor conditions. which are
in restraint Of production, will bring
about desired conditions.
The Governor suggested that fewer
big headlines in the newspapers and
less general agitation OF the question
of the high cost Of living would serve
to hasten its reduction. He predicted
that the high cost Of living will right
itself in time and that the farmers OF
the country will be potent factors in
bringing back normal living conditions.
Reaction ls Forecast.
He went further and predicted that
within a few years 1t would not be
question with labor as to whether It
should do eight hours Of work for ten
hours pay. time and one-half for over
time and double time for Sundays and
holidays, but one Of getting work at
all or at any pr1ce-a condition that
has in the past followed eventually
every national crisis, such as now con-
fronts the United States"
The Governor cited the labor condi-
tons at Gary and Hammond and said
that the labor people of the two cities
are being imposed upon by Socialists
and I. W. w. propaganda Of the most
unfair and ridiculous sort.
Speaking of capital, the Governor
said that he disapproved Of the prac-
tice Of the condemnation of corpor-
atoms and their methods just because
they are corporations; that justice
should be done in all cases, but added
that II the power were vested in him
he would send to the penitentiary any
one who profteered or boarded neces-
stiles out Of wholly selfish motives and
for individual gain.
