E. ID. Huthnancc Tells of Thrift of
 Citizens.
 Julian Gibian. a well known business young man of Montgomery has received an interesting letter from his friend, E. D Huthnance of Minneapolis in which Mir. Huthnance. who has lived in the South tells of the thrift of North western citizens and their dissatisfac- ton with climatic conditions there. He suggests that an effort be made to in- duce these people to remove to the South.
 Writing under date of August MT. Huthnance says:
 ''I moved to this city two years ago. have been charmed with this section to live again. I have been especially impressed with the thrift and pros perity of the farming class here. and have often wondered why the South people who live here to go south.
 "More than half the 'loopulation Of Minnesota Is German ana Scandinavian; These people are hard workers and make splendid citizens No farm work can be done here before April Is and none after November Is. Thus you see, they have only six months for farm work. Yet what they accomplish in that time is wonderful Of course the main crop here Is wheat, but that IS not by any means all they raise. II aoIS IS not uncommon to see siXty-acre held of potatoes and they raise berries. cab haze, beans. beets and all kinds of gar, den truck in abunuance, potatoes sell here for B cents the bushel. s9metimes g as low as 25 cents, never higher than 65 cents.

The long severe winters here makes the cost of living much greater than there. It takes more fuel-ans fuel is high nere-more people are going to Canada to live. Conditions there are no better than here, still they go, for the reason Can ada is continually after them.
