everywhere abundant, the great mar
kets, of Boston and New York are at
our doors and labor, that ever present
and extremely important item in the
manufacture of all things, is here, in
dustrious, Intelligent and fair. These
things make it profitable to manufac-
ture paper in Maine.
The demand for paper, however, Is
constantly increasing. The problem
confronting the paper makers of all
countries is, how to obtain the raw ma
terial without endangering future sup
ply and without laying bare the great
watersheds where should be conserved
the water which furnishes the all-im-
portart power. With this problem in
mind there has been an energetic
search for some other raw material
which could be used with profit. The
experiment in Georgia is one of the
ramifications of this search.
Maine realizes that she is rich in un-
developed resources and that there will
always be, as now, an insistent demand
for all she has to OFFER either in prod
uct of the soil or product of the factory.
She is leaving the latchstring out for
outside capital and it will stay out in
the coming years. An inducement that
we can offer to ''foreiga' capital seek
ing investment is the assurance that
some other material has been found
from which paper can be made and the
danger no longer exists, if it ever did
exist, that Names forests will be
stripped and her water powers ruined

Maurice G.. Mayo of Portland has just

Maurice c. Mayo of Portland has just
completed and patented a fast sealing
and mailing machine. The machine
closes and seals envelopes at the rate
of 5000 an hour or even faster than this,
but this is all the inventor claims for
it. The water district sends out the
annual water bills, 1000 in number, at
this time of year and Mr.. Mayo's ma
chine sealed and had them ready for
mailing in an hour and a half The ma
chine is simplicity itself The open
envelope is laid upon shelf in a small
pile and the feeding is done automati-
cally, one person being required to keep
the pressure even on the top of the pile.
Tn envelope is carried through a series
of felt and rubber rolls and on it's way
through the machine is closed and seal
ed more perfectly than it could be done
by hand. Mr.. Mayo has built several
of these machines but this is the first
one which has been publicly exhibited
1t is claimed by the inventor that it
will do the work of many people in a
very brief space of time and perform
the work better than it can be done by
human hands.
