Profiteering With a Big P: The Polk County Observer
has uncovered a case of profiteering that well fits the
name. Walter Domes of McCoy sold 1000 bushels of
wheat that was soft and in danger of spoiling after thresh

of Mr. Domes’ neighbors wanted to purchase a portion of
the same wheat for chicken feed and $2.25 a bushel was
askd for it.
