American Poultry Association's Poultry Show Rules. 
The following rules and regulations shall be printed on the back of 
each entry blank used by Branch and Associate Members of The American 
Poultry Association, or other clubs or societies whose exhibitions are to 
be held, and advertised to be held, under the poultry show rules of The 
American Poultry Association, and must be signed in ink by each exhib-

Section 1. Any person under disqualification by The American 
Poultry Association for fraudulent practices is ineligible to compete or

among other dishonorable acts, the lending, borrowing or hiring of birds 
for exhibition in competition; also "faking" of any kind, as defined in

the show room within forty-eight hours. In case of disqualification under 
this rule other exhibits may, at the discretion of the management, be 
moved up in the list of winners, subject to the disqualified exhibitor's

Section 3. Any exhibitor at this show, if called upon to do so by the 
management, shall make affidavit that he is the bona fide owner of every 
bird entered by him for competition. 
Section 4 The judge or judges officiating at this show shall dis- 
qualify any exhibit found to contain a specimen entered for competition 
that is not the bona fide property of the exhibitor, or that has been faked. 
Section 5. This Association reserves the right to return entries, thus
