It so happens that canned fruit is the one commodity which does not appear on the long list of eatables which are itemized in government order. But the slightest hint that any deal er In Harrisburg is holding up for a raise in prices, it was said to-day, would bring Washington down on him In a jiffy. Fruit being plenty last season there is small chance that any single dealer or clique would have the temerity to defy the gov ernment. Must Report The comprehensive intricacies of the government management of food prices is illustrated in the blank forms received to-day by all import ant Arms in the city. These forms re quire that every person having a | stock worth $250 or over, must give a return by January 10, showing, to the smallest item, what he has at the present time. Not only that, but he must accurately state his stock dur ing the year 1910, and what is order ed and on the road. This is a huge ! task for firms with warehouses full of food, but it is the only way in which the government authorities can know definitely just what the supply is. "The food administration keeps prices leveled," explained the whole saler. "It puts them high enough, figuring that America was never be fore making so much money. The other objer-t achieved is to spur the producer to produce. He sees that it j is worth while and that prices will ! be stable. This is especially notice able in the planting of wheat.

It is this system which has been applied to the sale of bread and ( soon as the "war flour" is In use prices are bound to be) adjusted on this basis. Bakers of llarrisburg said to-day that "war flour" will prob ably be here within seven days. Since the burning of the Steelton mill there ils no maker of flour in I larrishurg.
