I "Shoes Prices subject to change without notice.'' Such was the cheerful warnings that are being received by local merchants from the big Kastern luanufacturers and traders. A great many makes of shoes have been doubled in price. Some of them have more than doubled. The prices have been advancing steadily ever since the beginning of the war in Kurope. Shoos which then retailed for $:t.fe0 are now being sold at wholesale as high as $S. .'.0. F.ven the most practical kind of working shoes, which are essential to the equipment of t heir wearers, have had a large addition made to their cost. Loggers' boots, which In Jan nary were selling ut $'.l.a0, are now bringing $l2.ru. The advance is reaching all kind of footwear.
