It was necessary to call Dr. Wells on the job soon after thesmoke" of battle had cleared the field. The Woodstock boysrwe are told, were pretty well „chalked up, while one or two of the local den also went ^)hom£7with some dandy looking trademarks. This fighting business is sure a bad thing for* the eves. Elon Harrison of Warren, 111.; a former resident of Ringwood, was brought back there for burial last week.^He was 42 years old and is survived by his widow, the former Mamie McDonald, and four children. Crystal Lake is still to re- , lafn a place for summer resorters, notwithstanding the effdrts of the Chicago Ice company to build a fence about the pond. An injunction has been issued. The E.

Mr. Hunter entertained twenty of the town's businessmen on Tuesday, when a ride was enjoyed to the dam and then back ..to the hay. Supper was served on board" by chef J. D. Lodt2, with N. H. Petesch, J. W. Aebischcr and T-. F. Block ^assisting. Miss Margaret Buss was surprised Monday evening *upon arriving home at nine o'clock to Ije greeted bx a number of her "most intimate" friends.

Wirt?. FIFTY YEARS AGO Taken from the'Files of May 30, 1912 Ringwood was visited by a big fire, last Friday afternoon, which destroyed the Joseph May block and. residence, adjoining, leaving three families homeless. Had it not have been for the prompt response of the McHenry, Johnsburg, Solon and Richmond fire departments the whole town might have gone up in smoke.\ The Ringwood school cfbsed last Wednesday with a fine entertainment in the evening given by the pupils of McHenry township.

The birdmen are planning to soar about the various cities and towns in Illinois, Iowa and Indiana. Many of the Lake county farmers are planting millet and flax instead of corn this year. The high price of seed corn has been given reason. John P. Weber, th< tor and builder, with of men has started handsome new bu^ Dr. C. H. Fegers a4 Pistakee Bay. The doctor owns a beautiful piece of land at Palm Beach, Pistakee Bay, and it begins to look as if he intends spending the greater part of the summer at that place. FORTY YEARS AGO Taken from the Files of June 1, 1922 The advertising campaign in the Chicago Tribune, designed to bring more people to McHenry and the Fox river, was started last Friday morning when the first of a series of ;hree-column display advertisements appeared in the summer resort section. As a result of last Friday's advertisement the Community club has been flooded with letters asking for further information. Hundreds of autom o b i 1 e s passed through the village over the weekend and, while all did not stop, it is a safe guqss that several hundred dollars were Teft in the village by the travellers, from Saturday until Tuesday evening. Qvcr 200 couples were in the grand march at the opening of McHenry's newest enterprise, the Fox pavilion, in Conway's Grove, northeast of this city, Saturday evening. Miss Martha May, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Martin May, of this village, W:JS united in marriage to Mr. Ralph Stuephal of Woodstock at St. Mary's church, Woodstock, at seven o'clock this Thursday morning with Miss Irene May and Wesley Guffey" as attendents.

In fact, their interests extend far outside the boundaries of the United States. For example, we have had many questions recently about the so-called Common Market in Europe. Farmers want to know what it is, and how it might affect the export markets for their soybeans, corn and other farm products. As used here, the word "Common" means belonging to more than one, shared by many. The Common Market in Europe includes six countries having together popula t i o n s and resources about equal to those of the United States. Formerly each of these countries was to a large extent a separate market. Each one maintained tariffs and; oth-i er st icng restrictions upon most products moving into it) sands of people from Chicago and the suburbs into the country over Decoration Day weekend. Record-breaking crowds filled McHenry and surrounding territory to overflowing and many were forced to motor farther to obtain lodging. At one hotel forty-five boats were rented before 6:30 a.m. Sunday. In one place eighty persons were accommodated in eleven cabins and a house and one rooming house, filled to capacity, turned away about twelve people Sunday night. » "From "So I Hear," The first d^ty of May was always an important time for days we bothered John "Shiner" at Bohlander's store for thread lx>xes and after expending about ten cents for colored paper and paste, we fixed up the array of May baskets -- Of course we made the trip up | or down N.W. tracks for cowslips and violets -- counted the old jelly beans and peanuts that went into each basket -- Then the fun of delivering them. Sneak up on the porch of the "lady fair's home" -- ring the bell -- and then run like the dickens -- Do they still do that? M e m b e r s o f S t . M a r y ' s Court, C.O.F., are making plans for a bingo party and dance to be held at the Fox Pavilion on June 9, for the benefit of St. Mary's new school. Come out and swing vcjirr honey or your neighbor's honey to the tune of Connie Wendell's ten. piece orchestra. There will be fi^e hours of fun for the price of the admission. from other nations. Since cf^ch nation was only a relatively small market,, most factories tended to be small. Costs and prices were high in relation to wages. More important, these nations frequently waged war on one another, with great loss of human life and property. The officii name for the Common Market group of nations is the European Economic Community, often abbreviated EEC. The organization was created by what is known as the Treaty of Rome, which was signed in 1957. The participating countries were West Germany, France, Belgium, the N e t h e r l a n d s , L u x e m b u r g a n d Italy. Each of these countries had been defeated and occupied in World War II. Belgium, the Netherlands and Luxemburg had formed a common rriiarket soon after the war was over. It worked so well for them that in 1962 they joined with West Germany. France and Italy to form the European "Coal and Steel Community. Tariffs and other restrictions on trade in coal and steel products among the six nations vvere abolished. The formation of the Common Market now extends the free trade to other products. Although these countries are a b o l i s h i n g t r a d e b a r r i e r s among themselves, they will keep tariffs and other restrictions against products from non-member countries, including the United States. The C^gnmon Market countries and England, which is joining the group, are our best export market. We are therefore interested in seeing that they do not build tariff walls ~ against our products. Our best bargaining point is to be able to offer tariff reductions on products they want to sell t/ us. Con-, gress can give or withheld this bargaining power to our negotiators. In the short run the establishing of the Common Market may make it more difficult for us to sell some of our products, especially to the Netherlands and England. But over a longer period the Common Market will make its people more prosperous, and, therefore better customers for us. L. H.
