OVERLAND CHINA MAIL.
CHINA NEWS, LOCAL NEWS
and all the NEWS.
The Weekly paper that saver you the trouble of writing Home.
Glad tidings are in store for Hong Kong-ites at Home who feel a certain amount of anxiety in ratio to the proximity of their return to the Colony-in regard to the water problem. The corner has been turned, an emergency has become a more or less normal shortage, and the minimum adequate supply is available for everybody. It is therefore incumbent on residents who have folks or friends at Home and chums on leave to let them know.
There is one logical way, in fact, of telling them all the news about Hong Kong without incurring any labour. All you have to do is to send the "Overland China Mail," the only weekly news budget published in Hong Kong with pictures.
Readers get the "local" news and also the "China" news. They will be told this week about members of the garrison appearing in Courts-Martial, about the busting of an opium ring (always a romantic topic in the Old Country), and the recovery of much "swag "the proceeds of a burglary at one of the best known department stores in the Far East.
Everything pertaining to the quarrel between China and Russia, which has been arousing attention not only in Britain but also in Japan, the U.S.A., France, and Germany, is included. together with special articles and notes which help the layman to comprehend what is going on in Manchuria.
In the whirl of a trying Hong Kong summer rendered all the more unbearable by the neute shortage of water, letters to relatives and friends in other parts of the world frequently fail to be written even by the most ordent correspondents. It is a kindly thought, therefore, to ensure that those away from the Colony, or folks at Home, should have an unfailing supply of Hong Kong and China news every week
