MAIL

SPECIAL COLOURED SUPPLEMENT with PICTURES of all local events

is given free in the OVERLAND-CHINA MAIL,

CHINA NEWS, LOCAL NEWS

and all the NEWS.

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

Much of importance has occurred in Hong Kong this week so that, as a natural consequence, the "Overland China Mail" comes out once more full of good reading matter,'

H.E. the Governor (Sir Cecil Clementi) has returned to the Colony. An unusually large quota of new legisla fure-on topics of interest to Hong Kong and elsewhere, has been brought up in Council. Many social and sports events have taken place. There have been fatal disasters in the Fighting Services. In fact, many more items could be picked at random; but justice to the publication can only be done by perusing the “Overland," which is the only weekly news budget-in-Hong-Kong-with-pictures.

China_has_azain been in the forefront, what-with-the- protracted trouble with Russia and the outbreak of internal war in more provinces than one. What is happening is both recorded and explained for the benefit of the foreigner, who often finds difficulty in comprehending Chinese affairs. The malter in the "Overland" is written specially so that non- Chinese can understand.

Be certain to send a copy to your folks and friends at Home. It will be highly appreciated.

Letters to relatives and friends in other parts of the world frequently fail to de written

ardent 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-by meang 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.K.43.75 for three months, the "Overland Chisa Mail" will be sant Home for you every week, catching the mail regularly. 1 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 ita weekly arrival brings.

For your folks at Home to re- crive this weekly budget, or to keep yourself posted with afairs during your absence, all that you have to do is to drop a chit to the "Ovar- kand China Mait.”

The word "Overland" is a 14- minder of the experimès behind the production, it having been ablished since the early days of the Colony, to be sent OVER LAND because there was no Suex 'inal, and that was the quickest route by which to get mull Home. In the march of times the "Over- fund China Mail" has become the only weekly news budget which has pictures. It is made just to ait requirements, as it has done all along. What more could be desired?
