Thrifty Norwegian Immigrants.

No country contributes so many immigrants to the United States in proportion to population as Norway, ft is chiefly the rural Norse that come to America, and the immigrants are for the .most part under 30 years of age. The Norse are good farmers and thrifty citizens. They, as well as their neighbors, the Swedes, have a strong desire to rr ake homes for themselves and to have land and the conveniences of life. They frequently return to visit their native country, but they become parmanent citizens of the United States. Most of those that come are of marked peasant type.
