Sailed from Gothenburg on May 30, 1920 to Ellis Island. Place of residence was listed as Orkened, Sweden. He was 18 years old at the time. His parents names were Jons Nilsson and Makan Matilda. Is Orkened near Lonsboda? There may be some relatives that live in Lonsboda but not sure.

In the Svenska ortnamn 1999 CD Örkened church is said to be about 0.5km E of Lönsboda.
On a map it looks like Örkened is a part of the town Lönsboda, se for example the Lantmäteriet mapsearch page http://www2.lantmateriet.se/ksos/index.html
Notice that his mother's name was Matilda, maka means wife, so his parents were Jöns Nilsson and (his) wife Matilda.

Here are two possibilities for his parents from the Befolkning 1890 CD, men named Jöns Nilsson married to women named Matilda:
Nilsson, Jöns, farmhand, b. 1864 in Örkened (Kristianstad county, Skåne province), married man
Johansson, Matilda, wife, b. 1867 in Loshult (Kristianstad county, Skåne province), married woman
They live at N. Dufhult, Örkened (Kristianstad county, Skåne province)
Nilsson Holm, Jöns, farm worker, b. 1855 in Örkened (Kristianstad county, Skåne province), married man
Olsdotter, Matilda, wife, b. 1864 in Örkened (Kristianstad county, Skåne province), married woman
Gustaf, son, b. 1889 in Örkened (Kristianstad county, Skåne province), boy, child
They live at Graveboda, Örkened (Kristianstad county, Skåne province)
Of course, his parents may not have been married in 1890, and/or lived somewhere else than in Örkened.
