Completely swamped by the work
of her office, which she says has been
greatly increased by the new certifi-
cate law, Mrs. Jennie Steele Huegle,
county superintendent of Polk County
this morning asked the board of sup
ervisors for funds to secure additional
help. Mrs. Huegle declared that she
is utterly unable alone to keep up her
work, especially the numerous reports
and mailing devices that State Super
intendent Riggs demands under the
new law. The board has taken the
matter under advisement. 1t was
found that the code fixes the salary
of the office at S1,25O and to this the
board has added $3.50 in Polk county.
In addition the board allows the office
$40 per month for expenses. 1t is
believed that the board will not au-
thorize any more additional funds.
County Superintendent Thornburg
utilized the institute fund as part pay
ment for his stenographer, and Mrs.
Huegle may be so permitted.
A thick column OF smoke was ris-
ing from the building and the man

valuable papers were consumed. The
loss of $4,000 is fully covered by a st.
Pau! underwriting company.
