| Earnings Per Share [Text Block] |
NOTE 3 - EARNINGS PER COMMON SHARE
Basic earnings per common share are computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per common share include the dilutive effect of additional potential common shares issuable under stock options. The difference in earnings per share under the two-class method was not significant for both the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2024 and 2023.
