You can get your blank at the internal revenue office in the federal building. Just what tax you will be required to pay is a second step to be determ ined by the federal officials. Exempt From Statement Q—I would like to know where I get off at. I made about $21 a woek during 1917, but lost two months because of my eyes on my place.
