Com, Origin of the Word “Picnic.” Fanny Merritt Farmer, cookery el. tor of the Woman's Home Caempan- fon, gives the following explanation of the origin of the word “picnic.” “Years and years ago, when such outings were being planned, it was | customary to have a list passed among those who were to furnish the thing to eat and drink, and each one plck- ed out the thing she was willing to supply. It was then ‘nicked’ off the list. This form of marking and signi- fying your choice became known as pilek and nie, which soon was changed | into plenle, No Contractors. One of our local papers last week in speaking of the repairs on the state road, between here and Zion, sald the “contractors” will transfer a pore tion of the crew to Zion. There are no contractors on this Job as the work is being done entirely under the di. | rection of the department.
