Rationed Foods by Farmers
The Office of Price Administers
ton wishes to call the attention
of farmers to the fact that trade
and professional people such as
doctors, lawyers, and ministers are
not permitted to acquire rationed
foods without paying ration points
For example: if a doctor treats
farmer or member of his family
it is permissible for the farmer tc
pay the doctor for his services
sSwith rationed foods he produces
Ntead of money; but under the
fationing regulations, the farmer
may not transfer or give these
food points free. Therefore, he
must collect ration points for these
transactions. This is in line with
the drive to secure uniform com.
pliance from farm slaughterers
Change of Tenancy Forms
The area rent director, T. T
Grant, calls attention to the fact
that in many instances landlord:

the protection of the landlord, the
director urges that in all cases
where there is new tenant, that
. proper form be filled out anC
filed with the rent office.

7 Go on Trial
In Fraud Case

Two stock brokers, accused by
the government of defrauding
hundreds of elderly Americans
out of their life savings, were on
trial today before a jury of 10
women and two men in the court
of Federal Judge Monet.
The two men. Maurice Nidich
of Montreal and New York and
Benjamin kaufman OF Philadel-
phia and New York. were indicted
along with seven others in Ooto-
Der. 1871. on the specific count OF
selling unregistered securities.

NOT EXTRADITABLE
Lewis. Nidich and Kaufman
were the only three apprehended
at the time of the indictment.
The others are believed TO be In
Canada. u. S. officials pointed
out today that the charges against
them are not extraditable.
The jury, which was impaneled
Yesterday, was told by Sidney
Manstr. special assistant to u. s.
Atty. Lehr, that Nidich was the
brains of a ring of Canadian and
American telephone stock sales
men who fleeced scores OF Ameri.
can investors out OF hundreds or

stocks by trading them shares in
a bankrupt and insolvent gold
mining corporation.

by Nidich DUMPED thousands OF
shares of worthless stock in the
Devon Gold Mine Co. on the Sc

PERFECT RECORD

Mrs. Bruwier. who has never
missed a day at her war job at
the Fruehauf Trailer Co in Il
months, doesn't like 10 talk about
the invasion of their home in 1914.
The memory is still too poignant.
"They just came in and be-
came the boss" she said of the
capture of their city of Roulers.
"Then. the French and English
and Belgians started to fight
them. Our home was burned.
We lost everything except
few clothes we carried away
with us 10 Alva. France"
They also carried with then
their week-old daughter, Maria
who died when she was 3 years
old.
The Bruwiers have had more
than their share of sorrow. Three
other children born 10 them have
died.

stated that even if the European
phase of the war ends quickly,
there will be little loss of labor
until next summer. Detroit needs
at least $4,000 more men between
