in the citrus business for years and
he has never known of an October
bloom for the orange trees before.
"At the time of the terrific storm
several weeks ago, I noticed petals
from blossoms on the ground and up
on investigation found that a few
trees had open blossoms at that time.
Later I found one of my groves has
a heavy crop almost ready to open."
Mr. Skinner explained.
"There was notice in July and Au
gust of the unusually heavy crop of
blossoms generally, and we all
thought it most unusual to have blos
soms at that time, but the October
blossom excels that," he continued.
"I believe we will have oranges every
month in the year for the coming
year, and despite the damage done by
the hurricane I am optimistic over
conditions," said Mr. Skinner.
Mr. Skinner continues that the loss

believes the section will overcome it

Washington, Oct. 23. -Germany's
new note to Wilson was officially de
livered to Lansing this morning by
Frederick Ocdcrlin in charge of the
Swiss legation.
The txt of the German note as
received by the Associated Press, by
way of London, is as follows:
"In accepting the proposal for an
evacuation of occupied territories the
German government has started from
the assumption that the procedure of
this evacuation and of the conditions
of an armistice should be left to the
judgment of the military advisers and
that the actual standard on both
at-'sides of the field is to form the basis
for arrangements, safeguarding ana
Kuaranteeing this standard.
"The German government sug
gests to the President tnat an op
portunity should be brought about
for fixing the details. It trusts that
die President of the United States
will approve of no demands which
would be Irreconcilable with the
Gorman people and with opening a
way to peace and justice.
"The German government protests
against the reproach of illegal and
inhuman actions made against the
German land and sea forces and
and thereby against the Ger
man people. For the covering of
a retreat destruction will always be
necessary and they are carried out
insofar as is permitted by Interna
tional law. The German troops are

"As a fundamental condition for
peace the President prescribes the
destruction of every arbitrary power J
that can separately, secretly and of j
its own single choice destroy the'
peace of the world. To this the Ger
mans reply:
"Hitherto the representation of
the people In the German empire haa
not been endowed with an Influence

"The constitution did not provide
for a concurrence of representation

"A new government has been
formed In complete accordance with
the wishes (principle) of the repre

the relchstag are members of this
government. In future no govern
ment can take or continue without
holding the confidence of a majority
of the relchstag.
"Responsibility of the chancellor of
the empire to the representation of
