Archangel. Russia, Tuesday, Aug.
27-With the voluntary surrender Of
the town of Shenkursik, on the Waga
river, south of Archangel. to the rep-
resentatlves of the new government,
the last town Of any size in the gov
ernment of ,Archangel passed out Of
the hands of the Bolsheviki. The re-
ception given the Allied troops at one
CT the mdle important villages in the
province was typical. Here the VIII
lage elders, garbed in peasant cos
tune met the troops on the road with
platter of bread and salt, the SYM
Dol Of welcome. The people gave up
their best houses for billets> and hail
ed the soldiers as the saviors Of
Russia Previous to this, they had
blocked and guarded the road against
the retreating Bolsheyiki.

Statistics Sho,v Rise Il,
Cost Of Living During 4
Years of World Conflict

Important statistics, relative to war
time changes in the cost Of living
Throughout the country, have been
compiled and issued by the National
Industrial Conference board and In
cludes data concerning the increase in
living, expenses Of the average wage
Garner in the United states during the
IN July, 1914, to June. 1918. Incl
dentally. light is thrown on living
conditions in Grand Forks.
The conclusions Of the board are
based on a table which places food
as constituting 43 perrent Of the to-
tai budget expenditure; rent, 1s per
cent; clothing. 13 per cent; fuel and
light, per cent. and sundries, 20 per
cent. In applying the result Of its
investigations and computations the
board places the average increase for
the, budget expenditure since the
change from normal, due to war con.
ditions, as from SO to IS per cent. The
results are based on the investiga-
tions made Of 10000 families.
The average increase for all items
were as follows:
Food, So per cent. (,
Rent, is per cent.
Clothing. n per cent.
Fuel and light, As per cent.
Sundries, SO per cent,
Thes average increase fr all items
of the budget is estimated at from 5Q
to IS per cent.
/. :, Flour Scars High.
Records of the U. s. Bureau Of La.
Dor Statistics show the increase in re.
tail prices of Is leading articles OF
food between the summer Of 1914 and
June. 1918. -All food shows q marked
increase with the greatest advances
recorded in flour. lard and corn meal
The high price Of potatoes in the
prices attained by any one food pro.
duct. Prices in food products re.
manned practically normal during
1914 and showed little fiuctuation ir
1915, but took very definite upward
direction early in 1916, and has con.
ttnued to soar ever since. In June
1913, the prices of food were the
highest Of any month during the wal
up to that time.
various cities and statistics of the
wage adjustment board Of shipbuild
ers corroborate the results Of the ma
tional board. The cities Of Phila
delphia, New York. Jacksonville and
New Orleans report an increase vary
ing from SO to 81 per cent.
Rent showed the widest variation,
Of any of the items included in thu
budget. In some sections Of the coun
try rent has remained practically sta
tionary andin some few instances
showed even decrease, while ii

Information in regard to the in
crease in clothing prices has been sc

cured from retail stores throughout
the country. Certain goods have in
creased materially, while other kinds
have remained practically normal,
with no imnaediate prospects Of an in
crease. Ready to wear garments. both
for men and women, showed less In
crease than goods by the yard. One
striking feature Of the clothing situ-
alton appeared IN the increase Of
mems overalls, which increased as
high as 161 per cent. The report
places the average rise in the total
clothing budget, since 1914, as II per
cent, the greatest increase Of all of
the items. In assembling these fig
ures the element Of change OF quality
mate. of goods retailing at a specific
price in 1914.
Dealers in coal in different locali-
ties report advances of from 20 to 40
per cent up to June, 1918. Higher
increase was reported for anthracite
coal, used extensively for domestic
purposes in some portions of the
was considered fair estimate Of the
percentage increase for the country.
Eighty per cent of the budget is
estimated to show an increase Of So
per cent, while Nthe remainder Of the
budget including sundries, shows an
increase Of SO per cent. Greater va
rieties of reports existed regarding
this item than for any other one item
due to the difference of expenditure
for these things, by different families
and communities An increase of less
than SO per cent is shown for such
sundries as carfare, insurance. theater
tickets and tobacco, while other ar
ticles have shown q greater increase.
Local Situation Favorable.
Comparing this estimate with that
! of the local situation, in regard to in
creased prices, the balance is in favor
t>pf the local prices Food prices have
shown the most marked and persist
ent increase, but the average is not
as high as the national report shows.
Different items have shown varying
increases from 10 to 40 per cent, the
highest advance being shown by meat
and syrups. Clothing, as compared to
the statistics quoted by the national
board, is low in the budget items of
increase. Ready to wear clothing,
kboth for men and women. shows an
advance Of not more than 10 to Is
per cent. Twenty-Five per cent is
considered a high estimate. Goods
by the yard, especially wool and cot
ton, are beginning to show rapid in
crease this season. but silk shows
comparatively little increase. Shoes
| have scared high during the past sea-
son. but are showing prices more
normal recently.
In regard to rent the situation in
the city seems to show no material
change. This stability of rental prices
can perhaps be attributed to the
normal industrial condition, which
has made no demand for extra hous-
ing.

TIGHT RACE
IN PRIMARIES
OF MICHIGAN
Ford Classed as Both Win
ner and Loser o1 Returns
From Half of State.

Detroit, Mich, Aug. 2s.--With the
result of the senatorial fight definitely
determined in the nomination of
Commander Truman H. Newberry, as
republican, and Henry Ford as demo-
ratio candidates interests today in
Tuesdays primaries swung to the hot
fight bling waged for the democratic
gubernatorial nomination.
The e>slight margin held on early re-
turns by Edward Frensdorff Of Hud-
son, over John w. Bailey Of Battle
Creek, was wiped out when the big
Wayne county (Detroit) vote began to
come. These returns combined with
incomplete figures from 26 other
counties gave Bailey a majority Of
1864. The figures were:
Bailey 3,720; Frensdorff, 1856.
Incomplete returns on the republi-
can senatorial contest from Ga out
of SO counties in the state gave New
berry a plurality of 1901 over
Henry Ford. who was a candidate on
both tickets. and Chase S. Osborn
today, on the face of returns from
more than half the state, both win
ner and loser in Tuesdays state wide
primaries. .
Truman H. Newberry Of Detroit.
commander in the Third United
States naval district, and former Sec
retary Of the navy, has won the Re-
publican senatorial nomination by a
vote which incomplete returns indi-
cate may equal the total number of
votes polled by both Ford and for
mer Governor Chase g. Osborn. Only
light vote was cast for William q.
Simpson of Detroit, the other Repub-
lican candidate.
In the Democratic balloting, how
ever, the Detroit manufacturer, who
was a candidate on both party tick
ets won an easy race from his lone
opponent, James w. Helme, figures
this morning being two to one in
favor of his candidacy.
The slight advantage Of Osborn,
who rose from a close third to Sec
ond with incomplete returns shortly
after midnight, disappeared when
first belated returns from Detroit
precincts were announced. In this
city the few returns available indi-
cate that Newberry's two to one ad-
vantage gained in the state will not
be equaled here, although most pre-
cincts thus far reported give him q
slight lead over Ford.
In the Eighth district partial re-
turns show Congressman Joseph w.
Fordney, renominated for the tenth
consecutive time by a majority esti-
mated at $500. Louis G. Cramton
and Gilbert A. Currie appear to. have
been renominated in the Seventh and
Tenth districts.

KoTLAs VICTORY IMPORTANT.


Amsterdam, Aug. 28.-The Allied
occupation of Kotlas, on the Dvina
river southeast of Archangel, which
is reported to the German papers by
the way of Vardoe and Christiania, is
regarded by them as important as it
shows that two-thirds of the distance
from Archangel to Viatka apparently
mas been covered by the entente fore
es. In addition Kotlas is connected by
a branch railway line with Vitaka,
Whch is a half way station between
Vologda and Perm on the great North
Russian trunk line.
The Cologne zeitung points out that
the Entente plan to effect junction
with the Czecho-Slovaks at Ekaterin-
ourg, us miles southeast, of Permpy.
is a good deal nearer realization. Il
processes inability to understand how
kotlas was occupied.
