On top Of the recent opinion of the Attor-
OF exemptions, it may be of interest to jot
down that the Supreme Court of Illinois
held on the Goth ult that honorary members
OF the State militia are exempt from jury

tive members of the State militia from jury
duty, and the court held that honorary mem
berShip constitutes active membership.
Says correspondent: The local companies
are now cunning around for business men
who wish to serve their country as honorary
members OF militia organizations.
