Mr. Falkenhagen has made a number of landscape paint- ings and sketches of Langlade County's woods and streams. Two of his paintings, one a view of the south arm of Post Lake and another a view of Duck Lake, were exhibited at the Wisconsin Sculptor's and Painter's ninth annual art institute in Milwaukee March 1 to May 1, 1922. He has many decorative paintings in the county to his credit.
Mrs. John Burnet conducted her art institute and exhibits in the Cleary building (K. C. home) from 1914 to 1917. She then moved to her home at 303 Superior Street. Mrs. Burnet is an ar- tist of local distinction. Her work is confined largely to landscape and teaching hand China painting in which she is an expert. She has conduct- ed classes in the Vocational School for the past few years.
Mrs. Eugenia Hutchinson Worman, pioneer Antigo lady, has made a name for herself in the art world.

There have been and no doubt are others who have a local reputation for art work whose names are not enumerated here yet are equally meritorious.
The few mentioned prove that Langlade County, less than fifty years old, is well represented by artists and works of art as in other lines of human endeavor and progress. Our people are learning that as we live and admire the beauty of nature it enhances and de- velcpes the beauty of the soul.
MUSIC AND MUSICIANS.
"Music," said Victor Hugo, "is the vapor of art." It is to poetry what reverie is to thought, what fluid is to liquid, what the ocean of clouds is to the ocean of waves. This "vapor of art" made its appearance in Langlade County with the first settlers. When the county developed, when farms were opened and home- steads claimed, when churches, community halls and logs schools were erected, then the old fashioned sing- ing master, the accordian and violin genius and the , dance instructor introduced neighborhood entertain- ment into Langlade County.

HISTORY OF LANGLADE COUNTY.
The village church and the early log school were the gathering places of the early singers. Then the accordian, mouth organ and violin were highly prized. Few were able to play. However, each church had one or two members who could be relied upon. The early settlers on the Military Road and in Norwood and Rolling townships frequently gathered at the school where the younger folk of the community pre- sented an entertainment. Antigo's first singing master was J. E. Anderson, who conducted a singing class starting December, 1883, and continuing until the spring of 1884.
The Antigo Quintet Club, consisting of Dr. H. V. Mills, Mrs. H. Mills, Dr. J. C. Petty, W. H. Blinn and H. Phillips, was organized in December, 1883. The club gave its first concert December 21, 1883, at the new Congregational Church. Dr. H. V. Mills and Dr. J. C. Petty composed the music, with one or two ex- ceptions.
In the summer of 1884 The Antigo Cornet Band was organized with Dr. H. V. Mills as leader. The Forest City Band followed and was composed largely of the same membership. These were Antigo's pioneer musi- cal units. Another early day musical organization was the Aeolian Orchestra in which James Smolk, pio- neer violinist, Mr. Praehl, Ed Kiefer, John Haeffler, Frank Modl and Charles White were members.
The old Antigo Cornet band of 1884 was revived in 1891 and was active for a few years later. L. D. Dana was its leader. The Antigo City Band was or- ganized in 1907. Fred W. Leubcke is its leader. Neva Imperial Band, organized by Neva township musicians, was most successful in 1918. Elcho sup- ports a band equal to many in this section of Wiscon- sin.
Mrs. Lillian White Freyn of Chicago, who lived for many years in Antigo, has made a splendid record in the musical world. She is now conducting recitals and concerts in Chicago. Mrs. Freyn studied at the Fine Arts School, Chicago, Il1. She left Antigo in 1907.
James Strnad was a prominent violinist in Antigo for many years before he left in 1919 for Chicago. His son, a lad of nine years, studying in Chicago, has a wonderful career as a violinist before him.
The first violin to form the sound reproducer and amplifier of talking machine records was patented May 24, 1910, patent No. 959318, by Wm. H. Des- sureau, 1435 Clermont street, Antigo, Wis.
THE RADIO-"MUSIC IN THE AIR."
Great advancement has been made in wireless tele- phony. It is now possible to sit at home and hear a complete concert many miles away. Weather fore- casts, the correct time, market reports, stock fluctua- tions can be communicated to the invisible audience. These communications travel on radio waves at a speed of 186,000 miles per second. The currents they induce alternate too rapidly for any mechanism yet devised to register directly. A detector, therefore, is essential in all radio work.
The experience of listening to music out of the air is quite unique and interesting. The novelty naturally makes a strong appeal and will be carefully watched
by manufactures and retailers of the talking machine. In these and other matters there are signal opportun- ities awaiting the inventive genius of the coming gen- erations.
It is difficult to realize that but twenty-six years ago, in 1896, the first talking machine was exhibited at the Langlade County fair by James McCarty. It was an odd looking instrument with many long tubes running from the sound reproducer. These tubes were placed to the ear of the listener. No record could be heard without the use of a tube. Five and ten cents was charged to hear one record.
The first broadcasting radio wireless in Langlade County was installed by Lynn Matthias of Antigo. Mr. Matthias is a member of the American Relay Radio Association. Irvin Leuck has cooperated with Mr. Matthias in radio experimentation.
Harold Chapman and Neal Thayer are among those known to have received messages and enjoyed radio concerts from great distances.

History, it is said, repeats itself. The pioneer mer- chant, anxious to supply the demand of a critical pub- lic, handled many and diverse articles. A suit of clothes or a sack of oats could be purchased at the same store. As time passed business house in Antigo began to specialize in one line of goods. Today, how- ever, firms are reverting to the pioneer method, viz., the purchasing of any article desired under the same roof. Thus came into existence the modern depart- ment store. The A. Goldberg Department store, or- ganized in 1887, once located in the Goldberg building, Fifth Avenue and Edison Street, was the only department store that developed with the city, since 1887. A. Goldberg erected the brick building, corner of Clermont Street and Fifth Avenue, and moved from it in 1907.
