A WEEK'S PAPERS

IN ONE

“OVERLAND CHINA MAIL

ILLUSTRATED.

CHINA NEWS, LOCAL NEWS

AND ALL THE NEWS

SEND IT HOME!

The week has again provided an extensive variety of "local" and "China" topics for the current issue of the "Overland China Mail." For its pictures alone, the "Over- land" is well worth sending Home. It will be a a gift highly appreciated by friends in other parts of the world.

The full report of the 1929 Supply Bill proceedings in the Legislative Council makes this number of the Overland an important one. It should be kept on file by Hong Kong busi ness men and their connections elsewhere. It should be read widely for the information furnished by H. E. the Officer Administering the Government anent the Colony's position vis avis China, and also for the review of the Colony's financial administration as delivered by the Colonial Secretary.

There is more. Up North, there has been the curious compromise among the three warring factions and the semblance of peace. On the Yangtze, a French ship has been pirated and several British vessels have been attacked, Nearer to Hong Kong (in Kwangsi to be precise) a lady of the Church Missionary Society has been kidnapped by bandhts. All these events and their consequences are fully dealt with the *Overland."***

If only for the insight into commercial law, the "Overland”. should be kept because it contains two complete versions of written judgments at the Supreme Court.

The Overland China Mail, it should be borne in mind, is the only weekly budget of Hong Kong and China news which is illustrated. You get the most value for the least outlay.

READY NOW.

Mail via Suez closes at 10.30, am, on Saturday, and via Siberia at 6 p.m. on Saturday.
