If you approve the amendment, Mr. Shenton. as representing large proportion of the fully paid whareholders, will approach the Iatter with a view to obtaining their consent to waive their rights involving the calling up of unpaid capital. This will take some time, as the shareholders in question are widely scattered.

CHINA NEWS, LOCAL NEWS

and all the NEWS.

The Weekly paper that saves you the trouble of writing Home.

In the whirl of trying Hong Kong summer rendered all the more unbearable by the acute shortage of water, letters to relatives and friends in other parts of the world frequently fail to be written even by the most ardent correspondents. It is a kindly thought, therefore, to ensure that those away from the Colony, or folks at Home, should have an unfailing by supply of Hong Kong and China news every week means of a subscription to the "Overland China Mail."

Without any trouble of packing and worrying about the Post Office on your part, and at a one- and - only cost of H. $3.75 for three months, the "Overland China Mail'' will be sent Home for you every week, catching the mail regularly. It contains just the news, features and pictures from the daily "China Mail" that make a studied appeal to people with any interest whatsoever in Hong Kong, and many letters testify to the keen pleasure and interest its weekly arrival. brings.

For your folks at Home to receive this weekly budget. or to keep yourself posted with affairs during your absence, all that you have to do is to drop a chit to the "Overland China Mail.”

The word "Overland" is a reminder of the experience behind the production, it having been published since the early days of the Colony, to be sent OVERLAND because there was no Suez Canal, and that was the quickest route by which to get mail Home. In the march of times, the "Overland China Mail" has become the only weekly news budget which has pictures. It is made just to suit requirements, as it has done all along. What more could be desired?

This week's number is well up to the high standard main- tained all along, reflecting the developments and views in Hong Kong and China, and full of interesting reading matter. Be sure you get your copy.
