completed arrangements with a local
real estate dealer to purchase several
tracts of land throughout the city. in
GLIDING property in the city's most
exclusive residential sections, as well
as the fair grounds at Carthage, a
suburb.

ty. and she will force the Turner'S to
look for another lacation in which to
hold Their annual fest in June mas
much as President Taft has accepted
an invitation to be present at the fes-
tiyities much concern is evidenced in
the order sent out from New York by
Mrs. Green.
Although Mrs. Green has visited
Cincinnati only few times in her life,
a friend who visited her a short time
ago presented the proposition in such
a light that she was struck with the
idea and lost no time in closing nego-
tiatiOns with her agents here.
The deals will be closed during the
week. it is said and the property
value is estimated at 100000. 1t is
also given out that Mrs Green will
