EARNINGS PER SHARE [Abstract]  
Earnings per Share
Certain outstanding options are excluded from the diluted earnings per share calculation because they are anti-dilutive (i.e., their assumed conversion into common stock would increase rather than decrease earnings per share). The options excluded totaled 0 and 130,000 for the three and six months ended February 28, 2021. There were no excluded options for the three and six months ended February 29, 2020.
