Congressman S. F. Prouty of Des
Moines has at last had his revenge
on corporations operating under false
pretenses. Once when he was just get
ting to be well known out in Des
Moines, his home bailiwick, certain
band of promoters slipped over nice
little trick on him, and since then he's
been on the warpath. His recent bill
now awaiting passage and which he
says will absolutely prevent the for
nation of fraudulently operated in
surance companies, is his revenge.
Prouty in his rising days bought
some stock in a company that prom
ised big returns. He as well known
throughout the community, and he was
flattered when he was elected to an
office in the concern. Two friends
of his-working girls-who had saved
few thousand dollars invested all
their savings in the concern on the
strength of his name. These girls
lost every cent they put in it. Then
they told Prouty about it. Prouty
became suspicion and began an in
vestigatich, resulting in his visiting
the office of the president of the con-
cern and demanding that he make him
out check for the total amount of
the girls stock purchases. "I'll send
you check for every cent I've drawn
for salary and dividends" he said,
"and I'll turn in my stock" He got
the check after hammer and tongs
argument, and returned his stock and
the money he had received. Incl
dentally he announced that he had
withdrawn from the company Two
weeks later it failed. "Pve been on
the warpath ever since," he said,
waiting to get just such concerns" !"

TRADE REPORT.

Bradstreet's tomorrow will say for
Richmond and vicinity: Trade con-
ditions generally are satisfactory, and
in some lines unusually active for this
season OF the year. Continued tenn
perate weather has favored building
operations, which are active, creating
steady demand for supplies. At
the same time the moderate weather
has retarded sales of seasonable COM
fnodities and early reduction sales are
noted. Manufacturers of haCness re
port unusually good sales. Prospects
are more favorable for a good season
for those engaged in the manufacture
of agricultural fertilizers as farming
operations are further advanced than
is usual at this season. Wholesale
shoes and dry goods dealers report
satisfactory orderings. Large offer
ings of loose leaf tobacco are still on
the market, and prices for the better
grades continue high. Retail trade
Is fair. Collections are fair.
