WEATHER
GOOD FOR
FOURTH
COMISKEY PARK, Chicago,
Oct 4.—Weather is cloudy today
1 for the fourth game of the world
series, with thousandg of enthusi-
astic fans crowding the grand
stand.
I Reuther's warming up for the
Reds caused some speculation as
to who would be the batteries for
the game. It had been reported
' that the line-up would be Cicotte
and Schalk for Chi and Ring and
Wingo for Cin.
This is the fourth game, the
first two going to Cincinnati and
the third to Chicago, and betting
today is about even, with Chicago
money being more plentiful.
COTTON DOWN AGAIN TODAY
Cotton dropped nltoiif twenty
(mints Saturday, and the dull mar-
ket ea lined congestion on the
treats. At one time there were n-
bout forty balA within a block of
The Ledger office.

STATE IS SENDING
WEIGHT MAI HERE
In response |u a telegram sent
to the warehouse and marketit.g
commission Friday \V •' I'emi ie-
eeived a telegram stating that the
warehouse departm- it would send
a mail her* a I once to investigate
the complaint being raised !>v the
farmers about tie- dockage on pot.
to,, weighed at th- local yard.
Mr. Penn wired the department
to send a man to adjust the trou-
ble.
‘‘If liic- (linkage is light a id
just we want the farmers to know
why,” said Mr. IVmi, • and to
understand the rule governing it.
and if it is not right we want it
rigliled, ‘ ’
I*. \Y. Ilruee registered a new
complaint Si urda- morning, lie
exhibited a yard tickit show ing a
dockage of four p muds, and in
additi a to the d' ekage In1 charg-
ed that the weigher was nulling
waste from (he bales
Heretofore the farmers have
been standing this estimated loss
in weight from the yard to the
compress. |,ut it has always been
handled mi a different basis. The
buyer either figur-d the loss in
computing the price, or where a
weigher thought a bale was wet or
was subject to ,*| shrinkage, he
would allow for it, but the dock-
age was not made on the ticket
'•'tie new way of dock! ig the cot-
ton brings the farmu»4^u‘,‘ to face
with what In* is be ng figured off
on his cot,on, and it is creating
much dissatisfaetion and a general
corn plaint.
The farmer is not satisfied to
take the weigher's jiulgnieir, in
guessing at liovv miteli moisture is
in his mile of eotto.i. and the buy-
er is mu willing to pav for some-
tiling l.e v i.: not ge* w le n the bale
is l-ewelglied at tile compress.

How We Go At It
First we look into the battery to
see if you put water in it.
Then we use the hydrometer which
is the one reliable way of knowing
the condition of its charge.
Then, if no special cause of trouble
appears we put it on the line to see
if it will take a charge.
But if there is plain indication of
serious * rouble weopen the battery up
and find out exactly what's what.
Don’t trust your battery to ama-
teurs or artists in guesswork, who
claim they can tell inside condition by
outside inspection.
Come here where you find ade-
quate machin. s and apparatus to
really inspect, charge und repair any
battery.
