But If a single per son actually assumes the total respon sibilities of the household and is aided by having one of his brothers or sisters support himself and contributing an amount that could not practically be considered more than bis board, such trivial circumstances must net be al lowed to interfere with his clear claim for exemption. , Mrs. Bogan , Wins Divorce Oregon City, Jan. 33.
