CHINA NEWS, LOCAL NEWS
and all the NEWS. The Weekly paper that saves you the trouble of writing Home.
This week's "Overland China Mail" contains much more reading matter than usual Following the report of the Salaries Commission and the first reading of the 1930 Budget, a crop of papers from departments of the Hong Kong Govern- ment have been handed out. Such reports have been carefully collected in the "Overland." both for people elsewhere to read and for filing purposes.
If you desire to have all those official papers together in handy form you will find them in the "Overland China Mail," the only Hong Kong weekly news budget which carries. pictures and a free picture supplement.
In other directions, there has also been abundant activity. which is recorded faithfully in the "Overland." You can read about the typhoon which came quite close, about the sustained campaign to pervert dock labourers, about a Red attempt to corrupt even men of the British Garrison in Hong Kong, a sorrowful suicide in the Police Force, and trouble among individuals in one of Britain's finest regiments of infantry.
Hankow looms in the public eye in the Old Country at the moment because of a Chinese decision in regard to some British property. Interest is being shown in China again. Furthermore, hostilities hetween China and Russia have been renewed, so much so that subjects of other countries have lost their lives. The "Overland" will tell you all about what is going on; it will save you the trouble of writing; and it will tell your friends at Home or in other parts of the world all they desire to know. Be sure to obtain your copy before the issue is taken up and in time for catching the mail.
